What it looks like when "Titanic" fans find out the sinking of the Titanic actually happened.

Quote: Looks like a lot of people just found out that the boat Jack and Rose were King-Of-The-World'ing on was like a totally real thing. This explains why the movie did so well. A big chunk of the audience were on the edge of their seats waiting to find out what happens to the boat. If you think this is embarrassing, wait until they find out Avatar was fake.

When the movie was over, as the house lights came back on, she said.. "Well, that was a sucky way to end it. Why did they do that?"

that "The Sound of Music" was based on a true story and that Maria von Trapp was still alive (at the time) in Vermont. They had no idea.

the studio made a marketing decision not to distribute SOM in German (this may no longer be true, but when Rick Steves was filming in Austria he found this out).

He was real? I just assumed that was fake, how could someone so stupid actually become President?

When we were walking out he said, "well that was sure depressing". So I asked him if he knew who Anne Frank was and he replied, "I thought perhaps she was going to be a photographer". I moved back in with him after my partner died last year and he is still my best-friend.
