Something just happened. It’s hardly worth recording, yet I feel compelled to do so. I just caught this small video from Mark Kermode about the retrofitting of titanic into 3d. I totally agree with him, by the way – 3d is a waste of time and makes films worse – but that’s beside my point. At the end of the piece there’s a clip of titanic. For a fleeting moment – barely a fraction of a second – we see the old couple on their bed, hugging, waiting to drown. I’ve never been affected by such a sight before but today it felt like someone punched me in the chest. My mind went instantly to lyn, and I felt something I can’t describe – a desire to be that couple, to grow old with lyn, to curl up next to her forever. Yet it was a very sad thought somehow, and I felt like crying. How could something so short arouse so much emotion? Anyway, excuse mee while I go cuddle my fiancee.
