Welcome to Make it Count: A Titanic Fansite since 2002
Since 2002 Make it Count has been a fansite and resource for those who love Titanic. When James Cameron's masterpiece Titanic came out in theaters in 1997, it was an instant hit. Something about the way that Rose and Jack wanted to live their lives struck a chord deep within movie-goers that made people obsess over this movie. If you are here, it is probably because you are one of them, like me. So, please enjoy this fansite, sign the guestbook and don't forget to Make it Count!

I just found a very promising pattern website, and best of all, it's Titanic-themed! The first pattern they've released is the Flying Dress, and I have to say, it looks great. Up next are the Swim Dress and the Kimono, and they look beautiful as well. The patterns are available as wonderfully affordable downloadable PDF documents. Be sure to stop by the Historical Pattern Co. and take a look if you're planning on making something from Titanic!

I just got back from the advance screening of Titanic 3D. WOW. It was incredible. I cried for at least the last hour of the film. After revelling in the magic that is Titanic on the big screen for three hours, the entire audience was given gift bags containing a poster and a Titanic t-shirt! And, I have to say, the 3D is absoloutely worth it. The perspective it gives to the ship and the sinking add so much gravity to the film; I didn't know it, but I have never appreciated just how big the Titanic was, and how high up Jack and Rose were at the end of the sinking. Just... wow. And, the release date has been pushed forward to April 4, 2012—two days earlier! Exciting news, folks!

So, with the re-release of Titanic coming up, who has decided what they're wearing? I'm thinking of re-creating yet another costume; perhaps the Elevator dress or the Lunch dress?

I just learned about a new Titanic miniseries that is currently in production. It's called Titanic: Blood & Steel, and it focusses on the building of the ship. It's filming in Ireland, and stars Canadian Kevin Zegers and Chris Noth of Sex and the City/Mr. Big fame. Looks fascinating!

So, who is excited for Titanic in 3D? I am really pumped—it's a great opportunity for anyone who didn't catch it first time around. I bet it'll spark a whole new generation of Titanic lovers. I'm definitely going to take the opportunity to see it in 3D and normal 2D on the big screen. Read more here.

I did it! I fixed the gallery, too! That's something I promised myself I'd never do, due to it being an insanely huge undertaking, but I just did it! And it wasn't even as bad as I thought it would be. Rad. So, head on over and check that out. All the iFrames are working properly again, and things are looking pretty spiffy and coordinated. Aren't I proud?
