One year and one month before James Cameron’s Titanic became The Most Important Film Of Our Time, America (and Canada!) was gifted with Titanic, a two-part CBS miniseries starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Peter Gallagher. No one talks about Robert Lieberman’s TOT (The Other Titanic). This is probably because a) it was not very good and b) it cannot be obtained via Netflix. (You can, however, watch TOT in its entirety on YouTube.) Cameron’s TRT (The Real Titanic), on the other hand, has grossed over $2 billion and counting.

But are they really that different? TOT and TRT both clock in at around 3 hours, and (fun fact!) TOT was the first Titanic movie to show the ship split in two. TOT’s downfall was very possibly due to the fact that its production was rushed to capitalize on TRT’s impending release, though ultimately TRT’s summer release date was bumped up to Christmas. Or maybe it really is that terrible! Either way, let’s assess!

Release Date
TOT: November 17, 1996
TRT: December 19, 1997

Running Time
TOT: 173 minutes
TRT: 194 minutes

Star-Crossed Lovers
TOT: Catherine Zeta Jones & Peter Gallagher
TRT: Kate Winslet & Leonardo DiCaprio

Eyeliner-Loving Supporting Cast Members

Fancifully Named Villains

TRT: Spicer Lovejoy

Directors’ Other Notable Work
TOT: D3: The Mighty Ducks, an ABC Afterschool Special called A Home Run For Love, an episode of the severely underrated Once & Again
TRT: The Terminator, Aliens, Avatar

New York Fashion Week Redux

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:55:37 -0500

After seven days of recovery, I’m ready to recap the Week of Fashion. LOTS OF THINGS HAPPENED.

I saw amazing clothes at Prabal Gurung and remembered shows could be fun at Betsey Johnson. I sat front row at Peter Som. I went to a party hosted by Tavi which ruled and a party hosted by Vice which did not. I chatted with lots of people, my favorite of which were Jenna Lyons, Mickey Boardman, and Essie Weingarten. Then I went to the Westminster Dog Show and decided it was better than all of New York Fashion Week.

(I also met Madonna a few months ago and finally got to talk about it!)

In sum, LOTS OF THINGS.
