Jack's Back (Today's Post)




In a follow up to my other video that I posted today (because I didn’t post yesterday...oops), there were some wonderful related videos.  Such videos included other parodies, such as “Must Love Jaws” and “Brokeback to the Future” (just guess what those ones are about).  One that stuck out to me was “Titanic: The Sequel.”  I laughed at this because I was going through my DVD collection the other day (which includes Titanic) and that goofy guy, Allan Rempel, commented on movies that I had that should not and will not have sequels (because we all know how much Hollywood likes to turn a successful stand-alone movie into a franchise.  Pirates of the Caribbean for instance.)  Anyways, I watched this obviously fake trailer for a laugh or two.  The experience I got was actually not comedy at all.  It was funny because of how unrealistic and campy it was, but it was otherwise a serious trailer and very well edited using clips from Titanic and other movies including The Basketball Diaries, The Shawshank Redemption, Hulk, and Catch Me If You Can.  I don’t want to ruin the plot for you, other than revealing that there is a lot of Leonardo DiCaprio featured in the trailer.  I was quite impressed at the number of clips used of him as young as he was in Titanic.  Anyways, watch it.




I must say though, it is sad because this trailer would actually be believable as a Hollywood sequel. What's even sadder is that I actually want to watch it.
