My Headache Will Go On (Titanic Released: 10th Anniversary)


On this day, 10 years ago, I turned on my television and saw a movie preview with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet hugging on a ship as Celine Dion belted out, "Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu're Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere....."

I knew that something ungodly was about to unfold.

Soon after, Titanic came out in theatres, and quickly became one of the most successful movies ever. Lines of rabid teenage girls swooned over Mr. DiCaprio, while hordes of tough men proclaimed, "There's something in my eye," as they tried to hide their tears at the film's conclusion.

The movie catapulted its two main actors into stardom and brought that little gem, "My Heart Will Go On," into the every single home. It was all the rage that year and swooped up a whopping 11 Academy Awards.

To celebrate today, get a cruise-boat shaped stress ball, a couple of small dolls, and reenact the sinking scene in your bathtub. It's bound to be at least mildly entertaining.
