I don’t know if I said this already but, I love Titanic. Like, it’s my favorite film of ALL TIME (don’t ask me why, I really don’t know either).
Unless you live in a far-flung planet like Pandora, you’d know that it is also the highest grossing film of ALL TIME. At $ 1.8B, the movie has been standing loftily at the top of the rankings for 13 friggin’ years. It seemed unsinkable there. The closest competition was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at $ 1.119B. It’s not even close, really. And then came Avatar.
I’ve never been a fanatic of sci-fi which explains the lack of zest for this James Cameron blockbuster. Then one day, one friend nudged me and said, “Uy, malapit na raw ma-beat ng Avatar yung record ng Titanic, ah!” I was like, “No way!”
So I researched about it, and found out that Avatar is only a little over the 1 billion mark. I heaved a sigh of relief but then I realized it was just three weeks after its release. Holy crap [and as of this writing, it has garnered a mind-blowing $ 1.6B gross. And it’s not even released in other parts of the world yet!]
Trying to kill my curiosity, I borrowed a (take note) Blu-ray DVD from my cousin and watched it. Surprised myself, I kinda liked it. No, I totally liked it. It was highly imaginative with a very good mix of drama and adventure though I wasn’t really crazy about the plot. And for 162 minutes or so, I swear I had a massive loathing for blue, my favorite color. Nevertheless, it stopped me from questioning the success of the film. But it is still far from toppling Titanic at the summit of my list.
So why am I writing this? Wala lang. Mahirap lang sigurong tanggapin ang katotohanan na may bagay na hindi kayang maiiwasan. Na mayroon at mayroong hihigit pa sa bagay na pinaka-natatangi sa’yo.
OK, for a follow-up prediction: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (either the first or the second part) WILL be the next highest grossing film of all time. Mark my words.

At para naman magkaroon ng relasyon sa title yung post ko, eto ang isang awitin mula sa Switchfoot. I love this song. Dapat ikaw rin.
[I just checked now (Jan 26, 2010) and it's official -- Avatar is now the highest grossing film of all time. Haay buhay.]

I promise to listen to Switchfoot when I reach home tonight.
As to Avatar, I first heard it when it was featured in Dubai Film Fest. Tapos malakas nga raw ang pelikula, and then it won pa two Golden Globe trophies. In all likelihood, malamang maging popular din ito sa Oscar's.
I wonder what James Cameron is feeling right now. Biro mo, his two films are the two highest grossing films evah!
Swerte mo naman. Blue ray pa ang napanood mo. Haven't seen it, but I'm planning to buy an original DVD of this film para maapreciate ko ang ganda ng pelikula.
I like Titanic. Saw it once, and for some reason, I don't like to see it over again. Pero maganda sya. (Parang ganun din ang feeling sa Schindler's List at The Pianist. Outstanding films but I won't re-watch them ever).
I didn't read your title until I heard Switchfoot. Hehe.
Nice song. Thanks, Badong. I now am very interested in Switchfoot and their music.
i liked Avatar, i cant deny that and if i have to choose between the two, i liked avatar MORE than Titanic. And mark my words.. IT WILL SURPASS TITANIC... bwahahahahahah!
Now that i already burst your bubble, i'll explain why.. (hehe, defensive). I watch Avater at IMAX because it was a full length 3D. I wanted to experience it that way, because there are few "good" movies that are billeted in full 3-D. So i braved the 400 peso tag and watched it. It was breath taking.. to see the movie that way.. everything floats around you.. and there is a certain glow to the movie that almost makes the glowing plants and animals real. But despite of all these, what i liked most is the message, you know, the we-are-all-connected-to-nature thing? and i also had mixed emotions when jake chose to be a navi for good..
Yep, the last Potter book would totally be a hit. Grabe ang librong yan. Nakakakilabot. At nakaka-excite!
Haven’t watched Avatar yet. Not so giddy about the movie. Curious lang siguro. Pinaguusapan nila. My boss said she cried at one part of the film. Might be watching it one of these days, pag din a masyadong busy. hehe
Hehehe :D Last week sabi ng barkada ko meron syang Avatar na movie, di ko pinansin...pagkabasa ko ng entry mo, tawag ako sa kanya "Pahiram ng Avatar!" lolzz
Panuorin ko mamaya
it would be best if you watch avatar in imax.
:D
mabubusog ka sa effects
@NEBZ: bakit naman? For me Titanic is one those movies that I can watch over and over again in my entire lifetime. hehe
Glad you liked the song! Ganda ng mga kanta ng Switchfoot! Love that band!
@PMM: oo na, tanggap ko ng hindi malayong ma-overtake ng Avatar ang Titanic. Hinanda ko na ang sarili ko dun, hehe. And honestly, mukhang pareho tayo ng reaction sa ending.
@MINA: maganda nga yung drama part sa Avatar. kahit ako affected (arte).
Manalig tayo sa HP! Ang astig nung battle no?
@LORD CM: haha! ang weird nga e. parang karamihan satin ay hindi interesado sa movie hanggang sa may magsabi lang sating maganda siya.
@SIYETEHAN: dapat talaga sa sinehan namin siya papanoorin, kaso nung nalaman kong may DVD sa bahay, pinanood ko na!
hahaha harry potter fanatic ka pla a
I've seen both Titanic and Avatar.
I like the latter because of its imaginable projection.
Biro mo maka-online mo yung mga hayup sa pamamagitan ng buhok.
Naisip ko parang sa end ng world yan ah!
Kaso sa end of the world ay hindi yung iniisip nating labanan ng masama at mabuti. Ito ay labanan ng katwiran.
Eph 6:12 Sapagka't ang ating pakikibaka ay hindi laban sa laman at dugo, kundi laban sa mga pamunuan, laban sa mga kapangyarihan, laban sa mga namamahala ng kadilimang ito sa sanglibutan, laban sa mga ukol sa espiritu ng kasamaan sa mga dakong kaitaasan.
I'm fine with anything having the highest-grossing title, anything except one of the Twilight series. Seriously, if that ever happens, I think I will fly to the states to puke in front of that huge HOLLYWOOD sign.
I have read in your profile before about Titanic being your favorite movie. Haven't watched avatar yet, but I loved Titanic. Not one of my favorite list but it was good. Now I have to watch Avatar. What I hate about top grossing movies is their popularity. I almost always don't appreciate movies that everybody already knows about.
@MAC: super! kaya nga pinaglaban kong second yung HP sa box office last year diba? hehe. pero sa America lang pala yung list na nilagay mo.
@ELY: haha! astig nga e (yung online gamit ang buhok). and thank you for the nice verse!
@VAJARL: That's because you're radical. Embrace your being non-conformist Vaj! Basta ako, I love Titanic. Nood ka na ng Avatar! Bilis!
napanuod ko THE MAKING nito.
LUPET...
pano pa movie?
ayun lang... di ko pa napapanuod.
nainis ako, kapag nakakakita akong poster, naaalala ko si reyna. ahaha!
kulit.
titanic, fave part... yung patuloy tumutugtug yung banda (?)... habang lahat nagpapanic. haaaayst. pati yung si captain! haaaaayst.
pero may takot ako sa pagsakay ng barko, (masabi lang).
^ _ ^
@BART: aba! aba! basta pagkain game ako!
@GEGE: sus. wala rinakong masabi. haha
napanood ko na yung avatar..the best tol..same with titabnic..uulit ulitin mo...
watch for my movie review about avatar and titanic...coming soon. hehe
@MOKONG: sige aabangan ko yan! happy weekend!
It feels like I'm the only one who has yet to watch Avatar. But I have a feeling I'm going to love it.
Fantasy + Romance always = WIN! (for me, anyway. :p)
@AUSTENFAN: You should watch it! pero hindi sa sinehan, sa DVD na lang (so it won;t take over TItanic).
FANTASY + ROMANCE = WIN
Hmmm, lemme guess. You're a twilight fan, no? hehe
Kaunti na lang pala ang difference ng gross sales nila sa titanic... thrilling! jejejejeje
I actually am embracing my being a non-conformist. You know how they (or I) tend to kill people who are. :P
Haha. Yes! Proud to be. :)
Hi Badong! It's nice to be back here, hehehe.
I haven't watched Avatar yet pero sabi nga nila maganda. I'll probably watch it one of these days, kung showing pa.
@XPROSAIC: kaya nga e! pero sa ngayon, mukhang kuha na to ng avatar
@VAJARL: love yourself Vaj!
@AUSTENFAN: I knew it!
@LEOMAR: LEomar! Welcome back! na-miss ko mga pagbisita mo dito! hehe
What am I supposed to feel after hearing (reading) that? Lol.
geeeez... ako lang ata ang ngiisang tao sa mundo na hindi amazed sa AVATAR... pati TWILIGHT.. hehe..
@VAJARL: er, depende. hehe
@GEONE: ok lang naman kahit wag ka ng magka-interes sa twilight! haha
favorite sequence ko sa titanic yung part na lumulubog na yung barko tapos nagpe-play pa rin ng song yung band, mostly violin
huy badong! musta! kadirs naman ang subhead ng blog mo: "defecations..." nyehehehe!
i loved avatar. generic nga ang plot and very predictable pero may puso. visual storyteller talaga tong si james cameron. :D
Huy favorite ko yang Titanic. Dyan ko 1st na-notice ang isang sa mga ultimate crush kong si Leonardo DiCaprio. ~_~
@RANDOM STUDENT: waaah! that scene totally killed me!
@DEEJAY: haha! sorry naman Deej! Musta na? Tagal mong nabakasyon a!
I agree, bilib din ako sa utak nitong si James Cameron.
@SNOW: Haay, sadly, hindi na Titanic yung number one. haay
hi sayang naman ang bagal ng connection dito eh :(
hindi ko mapakinggan ng maayos yung switchfoot :(
ei badong exlinks naman jan :)
manalo rin kaya sa oscars eto?
i mean yung avatar
kakaiba talaga ang avatar. imagine james cameron toppled his own movie din! hehehe but honestly haven't watched avatar. no chance e but hpoing to download or buy a DVD copy of it soon! sayang titanic. ganun talaga! and it's about time someone bumps it off the top list. consolation here, at least it's still a cameron movie that beat it off!
hello badong! first time here!
dahil nahiya ako sayo...
BILIS!
ang gwapo mo sa post ko...
(eeew. gwapo talaga ang term?)
cute na lang.
^ - ^
Hello hello Badong :) Makiki exchange link lang ule-- lumipat na po ako ng bahay bahayan :)

Consider suggesting ysl shoes that your client include making her own thank you notes and, even the place cards, if you are including a sit-down manolo shoes reception for their wedding. Once again, a good blahnik or inkjet printer can do the fancy fonts and include a ysl boots picture of the couple to make them personal. The thank you notes would stand out if manolo blahnik shoes they were sent blahnik shoes with a wedding picture on the stamps.
