Not to plug myself here, but I recently wrote a piece about how much judgement I got for being a Titanic fan when I was growing up as a boy in Australia.
omg, just make a whole titanic publication 🤣 i loveeee this. rebirthed my nostalgia with how thorough and inclusive you went. personally would put Fabrizio slightly higher ("i go to ameeericaaa" and his wholesome dreams melted me) but 100% the irish charm punched Jack off first. Ah, you gotta do the women list at some point 🥹
Omg I am obsessed with Fabrizio’s character and you’re right he deserved better.
His death in the original script though was brutal. Cal hit him in the head with an oar while Fabrizio tries to climb onto a life boat. The impact splits Fabrizio’s head open. Cal tells him to swim to shore.
WHAT!!!!? Omg, why is Cameron so obsessed with giving him the most grizzly death possible? 😆 I'm glad they didn't use that version tbh, Cal is already evil enough, I feel like that would make him into a cartoonish supervillain!
my dark side romanticises Cal. All Rosie had to do was say she wanted to travel some and live a little younger when he asked what was bothering her and bruh, they got travel money fr. what's he going around hitting people with oars for? 🤣
I'll admit I scrolled to the bottom just to see if you had put Jack in first place 😂. I am please you has someone with more rizz than Jack because that was a nice twist. Please do the women next!!!
Okay so THIS is the content I come to Substack for. A quality ranking. Cal is anti-rizz but can he be so non-rizzy that it comes full circle…? Or I just have questionable taste in Titanic men?
😂😂😂 I’m so glad! And no I kind of get what you mean?? There’s an arrogance to him that borders on rizzy. “A real man makes his own money” etc. But that kind of rizz just doesn’t hold up in a crisis. That’s when you need the good-hearted heroes!
Titanic is one of my top three films of all time. I have many, many words for this piece but I will just leave you with the most-important ones: Thank you for your service.
This list was absolutely perfect and I was thrilled to see all my personal top men in the top 4. Mr Andrew’s might have been number one for me but Tommy is a very solid choice and I adored Officer Lowe and that part STILL gives me shivers
My mom and I, when researching almost anything will say (in a very bad accent) “keep checkin’ em, keep lookin’!!”

I love this!
In 2017, I made a promise to myself: save watching Titanic for when there is a chance to go epic.
Most recent watch was last year, ciné concert in with a full orchestra + singers. I cried my ass off with 5000 people.
Omg that sounds AMAZING
I’m sure you’ll have the chance, one day — don’t miss it.

Oh gosh, he’s just so lovely isn’t he?? He deserved better than to be squashed by the giant falling chimney lol.
The women’s edition seems to be in high demand, I think I’ll have to do one 😆
Sadly, I am not joking:

EXACTLY ! I’m not sure if it’s known why they changed it, but good decision: no one needed that.

In an alternative universe Titanic, Rose would see him hitting Fabrizio with a big wooden stick and make a good Freudian joke about it.

Hahah it was a close call! I actually think I might have to do a ‘monthy rizz series’ where I focus on a different film/series/book every time 😆
Yes! Do it! It will be so much fun... Then you can have an all star rizz face off
100%!!

I am dying at the level of thought you’ve put into this analysis! 👏 😂

Hahaha thank you!! Although now I’m intrigued, what are your other two favourites??
My other two are Jaws and Avatar! Are they, objectively, the best films I’ve ever seen? No way. But I like what I like 🤣
This article was NEEDED !!! I devoured this BRAVO 🙌🏻 as a girl from Northern Ireland just 5 miles from Mr Andrew’s home town he is always my number 1
Omg I loooove this!! He’s just the nicest man, isn’t he? "I'm sorry that I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Rose." 😭😭😭😭
Oh my god howling, best thing I’ve read all week 🙏 thank you for this public service
Hahahah my pleasure!! I’m really enjoying that everyone is as weird as me 😆
😂😂😂
This might be my favorite Substack piece I've ever read. I agree with it all and now desperately need a rewatch 👏👏👏
Haha, thank you so much!!!
Very entertaining. 🙏🏾
'Tis only right that an Irishman came out on top. This whole country is one big rizz reservoir.
You’re honestly so right! Might start referring to Ireland as The Rizzervoir from now on 😆
this is all i need to know - immediate subscribe 💘
Hahahaha I love this/you
lol!!! Who is tony. I’ll admit…fawning over Leonardo DiCaprio as a nine year is a shared girlhood experience I’d never trade.
A rite of passage! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
This delighted me in ways I can’t explain.
😂😂 this makes me so happy!! X

Hahahah I LOVE that you use him as a day-to-day reference!
I know—it’s so hard to choose between the top 4. Maybe Tommy Ryan is top for ‘rizz’, but Mr Andrews is who we’d want to marry 😆
I can 100% get behind that 🤣🤣🤣
I fucking love that you did this. Supreme content.
