If you think you are falling short on reasons to watch the ‘X-Men’ series from the scratch, we just found one ultimate reason for you and no it’s not an addition of a new character. The reason is James McAvoy.

Why? Because how else can we believe that this man who we are going to talk about now is the same guy, who once went to extreme lengths as Mr. Tumnus to help his friend Lucy Pevensie, from the White Witch in ‘Chronicles of Narnia’.

This is the same guy who later went on to become Professor X in the Marvel Universe, a telekinesis expert who f**ked our minds like no one else.

And if you can stretch your mind a little far back, you might even imagine him as Robbie Turner from ‘Atonement’, Bruce Robertson from ‘Filth’ or Kevin Wendell Crumb from ‘Split’.

The point is we don’t think we are the only ones who remember James McAvoy, solely for one of these avatars. A skinny or let’s say a regular British bloke, who was never close to being hench.

But, now the tables have turned, and how! Folks, let’s welcome James McAvoy version 2.0, who looks nothing short of a beast.

His chest and arms are popping out like crazy, so are our eyes after looking at this unbelievable transformation that our beloved Professor X has undergone for his upcoming movie.

This year, McAvoy floored his fans with his exceptional performance in ‘Split’, where he played 23 different personalities (he suffers from Dissociative Personality Disorder). All these personalities combine to form the 24th personality called ‘The Beast’ and these pictures are convincing enough.

These photos of him walking on the streets Philadelphia, with an attitude that shouts “I don’t care how long you stare at me”, is breaking the internet and making his female fans lose their minds.

It’s not photoshop, folks! This is 38-year-old McAvoy’s hard work for his role in M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming movie ‘Glass’, a sequel to ‘Split’, which is expected to release in 2019. This movie will also feature Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson.

The internet is losing its mind over McAvoy’s insane transformation and we can totally understand why.

After watching Anushka Sharma-Virat Kohli partying and dancing their hearts out at Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech’s wedding, and recently at Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge’s reception; the world has now glued their eyes on these lovebirds’ wedding. And if we are to go by the reports that are circulating currently, Virat and Anushka aka ‘Virushka’ might be getting married this month in Italy. In fact, even the tentative wedding dates have been announced to be between December 11 and 13.

Despite there being no confirmation whatsoever about their wedding, excitement of the couple’s fans and followers was touching the sky and we can clearly understand why. Who does not want to see the two heartthrobs get married? 

However, before you too start rejoicing about their winter wedding, a statement has arrived which dismisses these rumours. Reportedly, Anushka’s spokesperson told PTI, “There is absolutely no truth to it (rumours of marriage).” 

The rumours were further fueled from the fact that Virat Kohli has been reportedly rested from the upcoming limited overs series against Sri Lanka.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have been dating each other for quite some time now and despite several struggles and turbulence in their love life, the couple is still going strong, giving new relationship goals to their fans. Recently, he even called Anushka his lady luck in a chat show ‘Breakfast with Champions’.

Anyway, this piece of information about their tentative destination wedding in Italy, was enough to pump up the internet’s excitement as people immediately started congratulating and pouring their wishes on Twitter. 

Congratulations in advance @imVkohli and @anuraggarg11 for your grand adventure life ahead! #ViratKohli #AnushkaSharma  #Virushka

Is it coincidence or just like how fashion brands roll out their winter collection every year, rumour mills too wait for December to start speculating the couple’s wedding date. 

As for now, we think we might have to save these wishes for a later date.

Edgar Wright needs no introduction. The man who has earlier given us movies like ‘Grindhouse’, ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’; you can expect nothing but the best from him. The insane success of his 2017 release ‘Baby Driver’ only goes on to prove the same.

It’s not a superhero movie, neither a sequel to any hit franchise; which seemed to be a success mantra looming heavily on Hollywood this year. The story was pretty simple, yet managed to strike the right chord with the audience. Ansel Elgort did a fabulous job as the talented (obsessed with music) getaway driver Baby who drives around bank robbers after getting forced into working for a crime boss, played by Kevin Spacey. How he fights for his life, love and freedom; weaves the rest of the plot.

In fact, while most of you are yet to watch ‘Baby Driver’, a movie that smashed all box-office records this year, director Edgar Wright is already out with news about a sequel. Although it’s not confirmed whether Wright will don the director’s hat for the sequel or not, he sure plans to write the screenplay. Wright recently revealed that Sony approached him for a sequel.   

“The deal is being hammered out as we speak,” Wright told Entertainment Weekly. He further teased us by saying, “So, hopefully, I’m going to at least write a second one. I’ve definitely got lots of ideas. Whether it’s the next movie, I don’t know. I’m just working that out at the moment actually. I have a couple of things that I’ve been developing, and also a couple of new ideas that I had, and all the nice things that I’ve been offered since (the release of ‘Baby Driver’).” Here’s the trailer of the first installment.

This movie was made on a budget of $34 million, ‘Baby Driver’ earned $226 million globally, making it one of 2017’s biggest success. While Wright did a fantastic job with the film, a huge deal of credit also goes to the ensemble cast of the film – Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Lily James, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Jon Bernthal.

So, while we don’t know what the movie will be named – ‘Baby Driver 2’ or ‘Return of Baby Driver’ or ‘Baby Driver Does It Again’ or whatever, we are already rooting for the sequel.  

While speaking about his next film, he said that he wants to roll it out as soon as possible. “I would like to get back on the saddle very shortly, because – slightly beyond my control – but there was four years between ‘The World’s End’ and ‘Baby Driver’. I don’t want it to be that long again. I would love to have a film out in the next two years”. So does that mean we can expect the ‘Baby Driver’ sequel anytime soon?

Those who have seen the movie will know that it had a vague ending, where Baby was seen reuniting with his girlfriend Deborah, after serving time for his crimes in prison, but was that for real? The movie left the audience confused, urging them to imagine or interpret what really happened. The struggle of waiting for this sequel is real and only the ‘Baahubali’ fans will realize how true these words are. We waited for two years, scratching our heads wondering “Why Katappa killed Baahubali?”

People know Shashi Kapoor as one of the most incredibly handsome men of his time, son of Prithviraj Kapoor and youngest brother of Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor, and a versatile actor who was loved by people across all generations.

His iconic dialogue “Mere paas maa hai” from the 1975 release ‘Deewar’ is fresh in our memories even today and despite watching the movie numerous times, it still leaves us teary-eyed every single time we see the two brothers, Ravi and Vijay, fighting with each other. So what made this one dialogue, originally meant to use as an argument against the wrongdoings of his criminal brother, attain cult status? Probably that’s the charm of Shashi Kapoor and we don’t think any other actor can even come close to recreating it.

With the demise of Shashi Kapoor, it is an end of an era for Bollywood, leaving a void that can never be filled.

However, what many people don’t know is that Shashi Kapoor was not only a great actor but also a passionate romantic, whose love story has been immortalized in the golden pages of Bollywood. The struggles he went through both on the personal and professional front and how he overcame all those obstacles with the help of his wife, Jennifer Kendal.

Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kendal’s love story was not an ordinary affair, neither was it easy for the two to get married. After facing resistance from Jennifer’s family and particularly her father, Geoffrey Kendal, cupid finally weaved its magic around the two star-crossed lovers and the two got married in 1958.

Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kendal loved each other deeply and fought all odds to finally get married. In fact, there are a lot of sweet instances they shared after their wedding. It is said that when the couple travelled to Calcutta for their honeymoon, the hotel room in which they stayed, is surprisingly till date addressed ‘The Shashi Kapoor Room’.

It was said to be love at first sight for the then 18-year-old Shashi Kapoor who met Jennifer for the first time in Calcutta in 1956. Jennifer was a part of her father’s ‘Shakespeareana’ production and Shashi was a member of the Prithvi Theatre company.

Soon, Shashi Kapoor too joined ‘Shakespeareana’ for a brief time and the two worked together in many shows. In fact, it was their shared love for theatre that helped the two establish Prithvi Theatre in Bombay in 1978.

Jennifer Kendal or Jennifer Kapoor is not a new or insignificant name in Bollywood. She has worked in some great movies like ‘Bombay Talkie’, ‘Junoon’ and ’36 Chowringhee Lane’. The 1970 release ‘Bombay Talkie’ was one of the best films in which the two were together. This is the same movie that featured Amitabh Bachchan in a cameo. For those who don’t know, the couple featured together in another movie called ‘Shakespeare Wallah’ which also starred Kendal’s parents and her sister.

According to India Today, in an autobiography on Shashi Kapoor by Aseem Chhabra, Sanjana Kapoor (their daughter) was quoted as, “When they were doing theatre (Shashi and Jennifer), they were poor. They were under-slept and underfed and my father would tell me how they would be tormented by hunger while strolling down the streets-both my parents trying to decide if they could get half a paratha. Then, they would walk past a restaurant and there would be my grandfather, Geoffrey Kendal, having a huge meal with a beer. My father couldn’t walk in. He was his employee and he was also stealing his daughter. So there was no way he could march into the storm.”

In 1982 Jennifer was diagnosed with colon cancer and succumbed to it in 1984. Jennifer’s death was one of the major blows for Shashi Kapoor. In fact, the ones who are close to him feel that his health never recovered after she passed away. Jennifer’s death broke Shashi Kapoor in ways that no one can understand.

Amitabh Bachchan, who Shashi Kapoor fondly called ‘Babbua’ and shared a very close camaraderie with, said in his blog http://srbachchan.tumblr.com/, “He had been ailing…somewhere he had let himself go after the passing away of his dear wife Jennifer…I had visited him on occasion in Hospital during some of the times he had been hospitalised earlier…but I never went to see him again…I would never have…I never ever wanted to see this beautiful friend and ‘samdhi’ in the state I saw him in hospital.”

Shashi Kapoor loved Jennifer with all his heart and their love story will be remembered time and again in several years to come. Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kendal are survived by their children – Kunal Kapoor, Karan Kapoor and Sanjana Kapoor.

Ever since the allegations of sexual abuse surfaced against actor Kevin Spacey, things have not been good for ‘House Of Cards’ and Netflix. 

Amidst reports of scrapping the show, Netflix has now come to an agreement to resume the production of this political thriller and the shooting of season 6 will start in early 2018.

The indefinite pause on the show’s production has now finally been lifted and the final season is now coming back with a bang on Netflix, but without the conniving protagonist Frank Underwood. In fact, it’s also been rumoured that Netflix is planning to launch a ‘House of Cards’ spin-off.

Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix, said it will be a “good creative conclusion” to the series. Sarandos was further quoted as saying, “We’re really excited about bringing some closure to the show for fans.”

Netflix will start production on last season of House of Cards next year. Will be a “good creative conclusion” says content boss Ted Sarandos.

— Peter Kafka (@pkafka) 4 December 2017

According to Variety, the producers were contemplating to kill Frank Underwood, the devious, Machiavellian politician and focus on his wife in the final season.

‘House Of Cards’ was Netflix’s first original series that made its debut in 2013. Within no time the show’s popularity was hitting the roof, for reasons everyone knows – amazing plot, impeccable performance and most importantly, Frank Underwood.

Although it’s difficult to imagine ‘House of Cards’ without Spacey, fans can be assured that they are not losing out on any thrill because Claire Underwood, in the later seasons has shown what all she is capable of and that she truly deserves to stand equal to Spacey’s character.

From a lobbyist running an environmental nonprofit organization to climbing up the ladder to sit on positions like Second Lady of the United States, First Lady of the United States, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Vice President of the United States and finally the 47th President of the United States; we don’t think there’s anything this woman can’t do.

Since the beginning of the series, we knew that Claire wasn’t going to be a trophy wife and that she will have her own storyline. And with her performance, she proved that Claire, who is often called as ‘ice-queen’, will stop at nothing to get what she wants and probably that’s what makes us want to see more of her. Honestly, we can’t wait to see how the story unfolds, now that Claire Underwood is not under Frank’s thumb.

In fact, Wright once stated that she felt Claire Underwood was the equal of Frank Underwood and demanded and equal pay for her performance. Well, given that she was the first actress to win a Golden Globe Award (Best Actress for Television Series Drama) for a web online-only series, we think she deserves all the credits for making us love and hate Claire.

This last season of ‘House of Cards’ will be shorter than the rest and will have eight episodes, but like they say “good things come in small packages”, so we can’t wait for this last season to release. 

Recently, Kevin Spacey came out as gay on Twitter and apologized publicly, after he was alleged of sexually assaulting actor Anthony Rapp, when he was 14-year-old. Media Rights Capital, the studio behind the show, said they were “deeply troubled by the news concerning Kevin Spacey.”

Wouldn’t it be great to see an epic clash between Wolverine and Batman, Wonder Woman and Mystique and Superman fighting it out with Magneto? We know what you guys will say – this person is a weirdo who does not know that these superheroes do not exist in the same universe. 

Check Out The Fan Made Trailer Of 'Justice League VS X-Men'© Warner Bros.

Well, we would have thought the same, had we not come across this genius fan and this exceptionally awesome trailer he made for us to watch on a loop. What do you do when you want the best of both worlds to be pitted against each other? You, don’t wait for Hollywood to make it happen. You go ahead and make the movie (or at least the trailer of it) yourself. 

This YouTuber who goes by the name, Stryder HD, created this ultimate mash-up trailer of ‘Justice League vs X-Men’ and the fact that he put 2018 as the release date, makes us hopeful that at least someone will now think on similar grounds and make this ‘dream’ come  true for all the ‘Justice League’ and ‘X-Men’ fans out there. 

Check Out The Fan Made Trailer Of 'Justice League VS X-Men'© Marvel Entertainment

This man imagines Jean seeing Superman, Justice League and an impending battle in his dream, which can destroy humanity.  Logan is picked to be sent back into the past and meet up with the mutants to destroy them before then cam team up and come to full power. Magneto incites Lois to get Superman involved and causes destruction. The X-Men will need to control him and get him to destroy the league.

Later, Flash crosses paths with Quicksilver and the epic battle between two forces ensue. Can someone give him an award already to come up with such a killer plot?

Fan theories or fan-made trailers are nothing new, yet each time someone or the other creates something so brilliant that we forget that the plot is a fragment of someone’s imagination. 

Although, ‘Justice League’ has been making several headlines and getting mixed reviews from all corners of the world, we still can’t get over the fact that the makers spent a whopping $25 million to get rid of Superman’s moustache using CGI. Honestly, more than the plot or the characters it was Henry Cavill’s airbrushed moustache that made us go and watch the movie again.

After looking at this trailer, we desperately want someone to make this turn into a real movie. Raise your hands if you too want to see the X-Men battle it out with the Justice League in an earth-shattering clash.

The 90s was possibly one of the best times to live in, and the credit majorly goes to Hollywood for giving us movies like ‘Baby’s Day Out’, ‘Jurassic Park’, ‘The Matrix’ and ‘Fight Club’ to name a few. Despite some being over a decade old, we still love to watch these movies (some of which top our binge list even today).

One such movie that till date sends chills down our spine is ‘Jurassic Park’. At a time when we were still playing with toy cars and basking in our love for amusement parks, this 1993 American science-fiction film came along and etched the fear of dinosaurs in our minds.

It’s not that we were naïve to believe in the existence of dinosaurs (or maybe we were), but the fact that there was a theme park on a Costa Rican island called Isla Nublar, solely dedicated to cloned dinosaurs, did make many of us shudder with fear. Soon, enough the ‘Jurassic World’ franchise took the whole world by storm and almost 24 years later, we are here again reminiscing our hidden love for these deadly and vicious creatures, who won’t think twice before eating you up.

We are talking about the upcoming movie ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ that continues from where it left in the last movie ‘Jurassic World’. A few days ago, writer and producer Colin Trevorrow teased us with a glimpse of Chris Pratt petting an adorable baby velociraptor. This six-second teaser was enough for us to realize that we still fancy these cloned dinosaurs and we don’t think we’ll get over them anytime soon.

We don’t think we’re the only ones who instantly remembered the unquestionable hero, Blue, when it was a baby. Are we?

Now, ahead of the release of the full length trailer, the makers have teased us with yet another clip of Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and another new addition to the cast, running to save their lives amidst chaos, explosion and of course, a new breed of deadly dinosaurs. This 15-second teaser shows Chris Pratt, who will reprise his role as Owen Grady, coming out of smoke while shouting “run”. Before Bryce Dallas Howard and Justice Smith could realize, they see a bunch of dinosaurs running towards them as a volcano erupts in the background.    

The @JurassicWorld #FallenKingdom trailer debuts this Thursday. Retweet to get your reminder! pic.twitter.com/SF6JpvPMfY

While the first teaser was warm, this clip shows how fierce things can be when you are living in a world of dinosaurs. If you too feel that this teaser was too short, hold on to your excitement as the trailer is expected to drop on December 7 i.e. this Thursday.

Directed by J.A. Bayona and helmed by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ is expected to hit the theatres on June 22, 2018 and if reports are to be believed, it might get an early release in India. In addition to Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and newbie Justice Smith, the movie will also feature Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm, Ted Levine, Toby Jones, Geraldine Chaplin and Daniella Pineda.

When Anne Hathaway was crowned as the princess of Genovia in the 2001 blockbuster ‘Princess Diaries’, we thought that such miracles are possible only in the parallel world of Hollywood, and the chances of such a thing happening in real life is like spotting a unicorn waving at cars while crossing a road. Anyway, the point is that something like this was unimaginable until Prince Harry announced his engagement with his long time girlfriend. 

Congratulations Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle on their engagement!

Prince Harry’s love story is proof that fairy tales exist…even in the millennial world! And for those who think we are exaggerating, go and search the name of Meghan Markle and you will have your answer. 

So just like Anne Hathaway’s on-screen life changed within a day, Meghan Markle too experienced something similar after she got engaged and is now all set to marry into the British royal family by 2018.

From opening briefcases on ‘Deal Or No Deal’ to playing senior paralegal Rachel Zane in American hit series ‘Suits’ and soon to become the ‘royalty’; Markle has sure come a long way.

In fact, recently, her on-screen fiancé Patrick J Adams congratulated Markle in the most hilarious way possible, which took no time to break the internet. 

She said she was just going out to get some milk… https://t.co/y7cnM0eC9D

— Patrick J Adams (@halfadams) November 27, 2017

But, like people say “good things come at a price” the price here is to undergo a strict security training to ensure that she is prepared for even the most extreme emergency situations. According to a report published in The Independent, Prince Harry’s future bride will undergo training with the SAS (Special Air Service), which will include learning to deal with terrifying scenarios, something that can be as extreme as being held hostage.

Alex Bomberg, former Royal Aide and CEO of Intelligent Protection International told The Independent, “If you can imagine her being put into a room, being treated as if she was a hostage, the room being stormed by the SAS, she will be put through that training.”  

In fact, Bomberg further said, “Diana and Charles went through that training. Pretty much every senior member of the royal family has been through that training. They would also receive training about how to behave without close protection i.e. what they might do if things go wrong.”

In fact, after becoming a part of the royal family after her wedding in May, she won’t be able to roam around freely as she will have to be under round-the-clock protection. In other words, “her life now will be more of a regime.” Her life will now be charted out by the security unit to an extent that from her dentist to her hairdresser, every appointment will be taken care of with much precision. 

The couple will tie the knot in May next year at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. 

Well, agreed that her life is going to be a lot more ‘restrictive’ and she may also not have the freedom to choose acting roles to her heart’s desire; she is also going to be constantly under the radar and have every move monitored….but in the end, there is no price too big to pay when it comes to love. Even one’s freedom.

The day the trailer of Tamil movie ‘Tik Tik Tik’ was released, people couldn’t hold on to their excitement for reasons people thought were obvious. 

First, it’s being touted as India’s first space film. 

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

Second, amazing cinematography and visuals that can give any Hollywood movie a run for its money…

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

And third, which we feel shouldn’t go unnoticed, its plot that makes no sense whatsoever, no matter how hard we try to put our brains to it.  

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer

Within 5 days of its release, the trailer already has nearly 3.6 million views and we guess it’s partly because people like us are watching it again and again trying to find logic that was probably lying hidden somewhere. 

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

The trailer started on a really high note and there were many who found the plot strikingly similar to ‘Armageddon’. The trailer begins with an asteroid hitting the Earth, particularly Chennai that spreads panic, fear and hysteria among the people.

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

We too thought that the movie will be similar to the 1988 film until the protagonist Jayam Ravi was introduced. Ravi is sent to space to destroy those asteroids that will soon hit the ground and save the world. 

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

So what made the Indian Department of Defence pick Ravi? Is he one of the greatest scientists? No. Is he the best astronaut from the lot? No. He is given this pivotal job because he is a magician who can escape from any given situation. Wait, what?

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

Okay, I don’t want to sound like someone who looks for logic everywhere, but on one hand when people are discussing about millions of lives at stake since an asteroid is going to hit India within a week, the best solution that the Defense team could come up with was to get a trained magician to hack into a vault to steal a missile that can destroy the asteroids. 

'Tik Tik Tik' trailer© Sony Music Entertainment

Why is he asked to steal it? Because it is a 200 kilotons nuclear missile that is kept in a secure vault that actually belongs to a space station owned by some other country. And because of diplomatic reasons, they can’t come to a mutual understanding with them. *Slow claps* anyone?

Here’s the much talked about trailer. 

 

In fact, our hero is so talented that in a micro-gravity environment, he plays chess as if it’s child’s play.

However, we also have Tamil songs like ‘Inky Pinky Ponky’, which will make you feel that a weird plot like this is completely normal. To refresh your memories and make your ears bleed, here’s the iconic song. 

 

Too much in the name of creative freedom! But, we also have our counterparts in the west that made a whole franchise with a bunch of ‘intelligent’ apes ruling the planet. At least, Director Shakti Soundar Rajan is still using humans here.  

The makers also managed to rope in Aaron Aziz, a Singaporean actor who is largely popular in Malaysia and Singapore.

The makers seem to have spent gigantic amounts of money on special effects and the film’s sets; and we are extremely impressed with the end result. After ‘Baahubali’, if there’s anything that has won our hearts, it is the VFX of this movie.

The film also features Nivetha Pethuraj who is trained in Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. The movie is slated for a December 22 release and we honestly can’t wait for it to hit the theatres just to see how the makers manage to justify a magician goes up in space to save lives of millions of people.

‘Titanic’ was an iconic movie, the memories of which are still fresh in our minds even after 20 years of its release. While, we thoroughly enjoyed the budding romance between Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater, by the end of the movie many people started feeling sorry for Jack and started hating or pitying Rose.

“How can you be so selfish and heartless, Rose? How can you let your lover Jack, the one you saved from the evil hands of Caledon Hockley, drown in the icy cold water?” These phrased echo to this very day, as that heartbreaking scene became a masterpiece with people idolizing Jack as the epitome of true love, who gave up his life to save Rose.

The world cried buckets and filled the already sinking ship with their tears, when they saw Jack’s dead body sink into the black depths of the Atlantic.  Their hearts cursed Rose for not letting him take shelter on that big f**king door she was holding on to, watching him sink in the bed of ocean.

Honestly, it was only after we watched ‘Game of Thrones’ season 6 that we realised that this was the second most brutal death where a door was involved. The first being Hodor.

Was that wooden plank really small for two people? Over these years, we all have wondered and criticized poor Rose for Jack not fitting on the plank. Some ‘Titanic’ fans went up to the extent where they came up with their own theories and mathematical calculations to prove that there was enough space for two people to fit in.

Now, finally after 20 years, Director James Cameron has revealed the real reason behind Jack’s death and the answer is not lack of space or Hypothermia as many people argue. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Cameron was asked the question that has haunted people for the longest time now, “Why doesn’t Rose make room for Jack on the door?” 

Honestly, we were expecting some logic-based reasoning behind this, but his answer left us dumbfound. He said, “And the answer is very simple because it says on page 147 (of the script) that Jack dies. Very simple…” Well, it does make sense but he did go on to explain why he let Jack die.

He even mentioned about how people are still discussing this after so many years, “I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussing 20 years later.” He further added, “But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die.”

He explained that had the character of Jack lived, the ending would have been meaningless since the film was about death and separation. “It’s called art, things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons,” he further added. So all you folks who are still calculating the measurement of that door to prove that he could have fit in, you all can go home now.  

Jack was so shocked by his death in ‘Titanic’ that in his afterlife, he chose to go the YOLO way by first indulging in alcohol and being a womanizer in ‘Wolf of The Wall Street’ and then later fighting a wild bear in ‘The Revenant’.
