Im looking forward to it. Cant wait I liked Titanic, I just thought it was realllllly sad. Cant stand sad movies but the action part is still good. I almost found myself crying in Titanic

Well, considering Rhus pointed out that these rogue waves can happen and are natural phenomena, my curiosity finally got the better of me and I went and looked it up. I love me some Wikipedia! Can I say that on the air?!

Copied from Wikipedia:
It is common for mid-ocean storm waves to reach 7 metres (23 feet) in height, and in extreme conditions such waves can reach heights of 15 metres (50 feet). However, for centuries maritime lore told of the existence of vastly more massive waves — veritable monsters up to 30 metres (100 feet) in height (approximately the height of a 12-story building) — that could appear without warning in mid-ocean, against the prevailing current and wave direction, and often in perfectly clear weather. Such waves were said to consist of an almost vertical wall of water preceded by a trough so deep that it was referred to as a "hole in the sea"; a ship encountering a wave of such magnitude would be unlikely to survive the tremendous pressures of up to 100 tonnes/m2 (980 kPa) exerted by the weight of the breaking water, and would almost certainly be sunk in a matter of seconds. Usual ship design allows for rounded storm waves up to 15 m and pressures around 15 tonnes/m2 (147 kPa) without damage, and up to twice that if some deformation is allowed for, which is about a wave of twenty metres.

Scientists long dismissed such stories, asserting that mathematical models indicated that ocean waves of greater than 15 metres in height were likely to be rare "once in 10,000 years" events. However, satellite imaging has in recent years confirmed that waves of up to 30 metres in height are much more common than mathematical probability would predict based on a linear model of wave size. In addition, pressure readings from buoys moored in the Gulf of Mexico at the time of Hurricane Katrina also indicate the presence of such large waves at the time of the storm. In fact, they seem to occur in all of the world's oceans many times every year. This has caused a re-examination of the reason for their existence, as well as calling into serious question many long-accepted principles of maritime engineering.

Note: The localized freak waves discussed here are not the same as tsunami, formerly called "tidal waves". Tsunami are displacement waves which travel at high speed and are more or less unnoticeable in deep water; they only become dangerous as they approach the shoreline. In the deep sea, tsunami do not represent a threat to shipping. Freak waves, in contrast, are localized short-lived water phenomena that most frequently occur far out to sea.

For you doubters out there...like me

I liked the original... and mind you I was much younger then... but I still can't wait to see this one... and the titanic was good.. but hey we ALL knew how that one ended... and a side note... The last remaining survivor of the Titanic died this past week at the age of 99... she was 5 when it happened...

Ironically, she drowned in her bathtub.

She died Saturday at her home in Shrewsbury, said Ronald E. Johnson, vice president of the Nordgren Memorial Chapel in Worcester, Massachusetts.

"She went to sleep peacefully," he said

"Ironically, she drowned in her bathtub."

Now see Adri that is how rumors are started...lol...

lol
I heard on the radio that she drowned in her bathtub! Stupid morning radio guys... *mutters*

I feel like I have said this before...but can't think of where I may have said it...
Do you think they would show this movie on a cruise?

Actually I never saw the original, or Titanic so I probably won't be seeing this one either. The effects do look like they will be cool though.

My daughter is dragging me to see the DaVinci Code next week. Then I am dragging her to X-Men III the week after. It's all about compromise

I thought the original Poseidon was a good flick...nothing spectacualer, but I liked enough to want to go see the remake.

Odd fact: I live about 10 minutes away from Shrewsbury and I didnt hear anything about the Titanic lady dying...youd think thatd make local news...

I wonder if they could turn this into a Disney Movie....
