May 11. Day 130. Titanic battle


 In the three hours and 15 minutes of James Cameron's Titanic, there are not a lot of laughs.
But, ironically, that epic rollercoaster ride of a movie is jam packed with comic potential. Who knew?
Brisbane Theatre company Act/React have found extra life boats and saved us all from the misery of the watery grave that was the movie.
Tonight was the third time I've seen Titanic. The Movie. The Play and it never gets old.  This is pure silly fun, with genuine belly laughs and updated popular culture references with every iteration.  It has just the right tone so that those who loved the film are not offended, those who hated the film can celebrate it and those who have never seen the film can still get the joke.
And staging it at the Queensland Maritime Museum is perfect.
All the fun of a comedy cruise but without the seasickness.
