Top 10 Reasons We Can’t Get Enough of Titanic

tumblr_nke6t9Q1BX1tuwzk3o1_500Epic romance. Action. Mind-blowing effects. Leonardo DiCaprio. Titanic is nothing if not a crowd-pleaser. Hey, a movie doesn’t become the highest-grossing flick of all time (for a while, at least) by only appealing to teenage girls. you surely have your own reasons for loving Titanic. Here are ten good ones, for starters.

10. The Death of an Evil Billy Zane
Zane isn’t your typical bad guy. Yet you’d be hard-pressed to find a character more loathsome than his Cal, the arrogant fiancé of Rose (Kate Winslet). This guy’s a first-class jerk, a spousal abuser, and an all-around bully. He’s such a scumbag — and Zane plays him with such relish — that when he kills himself in the movie’s epilogue you’ll inevitably cheer.

9. Hyperrealistic Special Effects
Typical of the work of director-writer-producer-editor James Cameron, Titanic‘s special effects break boundaries.

In an attempt to tackle all 236 episodes, here’s a list of the ones that you (and your Phoebe friend) absolutely, no-questions-asked must watch right away. We’ve got the one where Joey puts his head inside a turkey, the one where Ross yells “PIVOT” a lot and the one with the lobsters.

1. Season 4, Episode 12: “The One With The Embryos”

Nate and Serena (Gossip Girl)

tumblr_mrz2l0fh2G1sp0gfyo1_500The relationship between Nate and Serena, also known as Serenate, is the friendship and former romantic relationship between Serena van der Woodsen and Nate Archibald.

In the Gossip Girl novel series, Serena and Nate are on-again, off-again. They lose their virginity to each other in the series prequel, It Had To Be You, during the summer before Serena leaves for boarding school. Once Serena returns, their antics often lead to the break-ups of Blair and Nate. Serena realizes her love for Nate at various points in the series. One of the main reasons stopping their relationship is that their best friend, Blair Waldorf, is also in love with Nate. In the final book, I Will Always Love You, Nate chooses Blair in Part I and then Serena in Part II. In the end, Nate ends up with neither, and Blair and Serena go off together as best friends on vacation.

In the 1st season, when Serena returns, Nate hopes to give their relationship a real chance. But Serena refuses, saying ,”I didn’t come back for you. Look, Blair’s my best friend, and you’re her boyfriend, and she loves you.” However, Serena still agrees to meet up with Nate to talk with about their current situation.
