Re. Musicals.  My favourite Buffy episode is Once More with Feeling - a demon takes over the town (yes, again) and people burst into song for no reason singing about their situations.  It's very funny.

While I have seen the movie, I can brag I have held actual pieces of the Titanic, including a couple of the infamous rivets.  I served as guard over said pieces displayed during a Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers annual meeting, where the people who investigated the Titanic wreck gave talks about papers they'd written, including the first mention of the word "rusticle".
My wife worked for SNAME at the time, and I went with her to their annual meetings.  She knew many of those people, including P. H. Nargeolet, Bill Garzke, and Dr. Bob Ballard.

I don't watch movies if I already know how it ends ---

I saw it in the cinema and after two hours, I was actively willing it to sink so I could go to the bog.

I cared little for the plot, I just wanted to see the sets and the SFX.

My connection to the Titanic? I had dinner in the restaurant at the White Swan at Alnwick, which has much of the fittings from the first class lounge of the Olympic, which was largely broken up on the Tyne.

As some of you mentioned the Titanic movie, here is my connection to it - or better to its director James Cameron:

After the Titanic movie, he made some documentaries about ship wrecks, one of it was the Bismarck. In 2001, there was a reunion of Bismarck survivors in Hamburg, Germany. About 15 of them were there and James Cameron wanted to do some interviews with them. Though some strange events, his production company contacted me and asked if I could work as a translator for those interviews between the survivors and him.

I was surprised, but of course I said "yes" and so I went to Hamburg and worked with James Cameron for some days there. Besides the interviews, we went to the Blohm&Voss shipyard where Bismarck was build. And in the end, I was in the documentary for a few seconds. So I can say, I was in a James Cameron film

So, I guess, this was my 5 seconds of fame and it was of course a very cool experience

That must of been a fascinating experience ?
