I like Terminator movies. You do? I do. Wow. Yeah, I guess that's... And the Alien. Sort of culturally, James Cameron obviously reached his apex. I think...

And it was the name of the club that hurt one time. That's true. And spoiler alert, potential baby daddy's club was the... Are we potentialing that? I think that wasn't... Pretty dumb. Could be the Star Wars dude. Here's that one other guy. Wow. Gilmore Girls took a real turn. Anyway, let's go top of Apex Mountain. Okay. Who reached their apex in this film? Gonna go with James Cameron. James Cameron. That's the only answer. And Billy Zane. Okay. I'll definitely go with Billy Zane. James Cameron, yeah. I like Terminator movies. You do? I do. Wow. Yeah, I guess that's... And the Alien. Sort of culturally, James Cameron obviously reached his apex. I think... I mean, certainly he has not gotten past this, like, personally. Like, I don't see him, like, doing deep dives back into the Terminator world. He's still digging around in the Titanic. So, for him, this is definitely, psychologically, the apex. Yeah. Cultural significance, if not actual filmmaking technique. I mean, like, how do you even get beyond this? Sure. I mean, I guess he kind of did Avatar, but... You really can't outdo this. I don't know. He's trying to with Avatar, but I think he's taking in five avatars. A fatal flaw of Avatar is that handsome Sam Worthington's face barely appears. Thank you for saying that. That has been my main problem with that movie. Well, just think about how much Hanson Leonardo DiCaprio means to Titanic. I agree. It could have been different. Show me a little more Sam Worthington. He's a star right now. I need evidence that Sam Worthington can really act before you put more of his face in Avatar. I'm just going to go ahead and put that out there. I'm not saying it's not possible. I would like to give him the chance. It's worth considering. I haven't had that evidence yet. Okay. Fair enough. That's true. Fair enough. Let's combine picking nits and probably unanswerable questions. They tend to go hand-in-hand, in my opinion. I've got so many. Yes. Please go, Amanda. Okay, so open waters. Yes. Why is no one seasick? Hmm. Oh. Great question. So I get really seasick, and I'm like, I'll never go on a boat ride. As do I. I've heard that on cruise liners, like the Titanic, you don't feel the rocking quite as much. Can confirm that that's not true. Oh, okay. When I'm, I don't get seasick, but when I've been on a cruise, like, all the people do. Yeah, and the only time I've been was not even on open waters. It was just, like, very close to the British coast. Oh. So if you're in the middle of the Atlantic, I think some things are going awry. Interesting. Okay. Compare it also with the film Brooklyn, which had a real impact on me, not as a film, but as on a portrayal of seasickness. Because that first trip, she's the only one who eats and then spends all night barfing. Yeah. I'm just asking. Okay. What else? You know, I wondered last night why they needed to make Rose an American. Yes. Great question. Because, obviously, Kate Winslet is British, and also there were plenty of kind of British heiresses of the Downton Abbey variety marrying rich people. Mm-hmm. Although I guess, technically, now that I think about it, it was usually more the men with the titles who were marrying the American heiresses for their money.
