    Not trying to spoil anybody's fun or anything, but honestly it's bizarre to me how many Titanic-exclusive museums there seem to be, and equally, how many people flock to them. There's at least three in the United States. In Belfast, they've re-modelled the whole of what used to be the Harland & Wolff shipyard on Queen's Island to be entirely Titanic themed, and I'd say about two thirds of Southampton's sea city museum is dedicated to the Titanic exhibition. Titanic was not a unique ship - Of course, there was the near identical Olympic which had debuted the previous summer. Moreover, several other competing lines were each trying to best each other, for example, the Lusitania and Mauretania from the Cunard line, which had been both the largest and fastest liners afloat in 1907, and they took the world by storm. Also, the different walks of life you could find aboard a liner of her type at the time were basically the same: The hard working labourers down in the boiler and engine rooms, the cabin stewards who provide top tier customer service, the poor immigrants seeking new hope in the new world, the middle class who live comfortably, the ultra wealthy who live luxuriously, and the Captain and his officers running the ship. Furthermore, it was a time of almost boundless confidence in which ship builders and owners fully believed that a modern ocean liner was practically impervious to the dangers that had destroyed the wooden hulled sailing ships of the past. No, Titanic wasn't the only ship believed to be unsinkable. Similarly, Titanic wasn't the only ship to only have lifeboats for about 1/3 of her total capacity. In fact, this was the norm throughout the industry. Ocean liners had been getting bigger, faster, flashier, stronger and safer at a steady pace throughout the last century, but from the 1890's onwards, there was an exponential boom of shipbuilding technologies getting better and better. In 1897, the world was star struck by the German liner SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, a ship of 14,000 tons. 10 years later, Lusitania and Mauretania are each 31,000 tons. 5 years after that, Olympic and Titanic are each 46,000 tons. So what makes the Titanic herself, and the disaster, stick so firmly in public consciousness today? The simple answer is that the whole parable of the ship is a perfect cautionary tale of hubris, when people kid themselves that they're too big to fail, leaving them woefully ill-equipped to deal with the situation if and when it does go wrong. The boundless optimism of the entire age was symbolically torn in half and sent to the bottom of the ocean as a result of bad luck and human error, and 1,496 human lives were taken with her as a direct result of those in charge saying it could never happen. It's also such a perfect example of Murphy's law that it should happen to one of the latest and greatest examples of human ingenuity, on the literal first trip away from home. Aboard the ship were two company representatives - Thomas Andrews, chief architect at Harland & Wolff, who valiantly decided to die with his ship like a gentleman. And then there was Bruce Ismay, chairman of Titanic's owners, White Star Line, who was vilified by the press as a coward for getting into a lifeboat, although he acted heroically during the sinking. Titanic took two and a half hours to sink, during most of that time the ship was upright and stable in the water, which allowed for exactly 2,208 dramatic human stories to play out. Stories of heroism, loss, sacrifice, and cowardice. The band played on, the engineers stayed below, the Captain went down with his ship, while his boss escaped with his reputation in tatters. There is also a bunch to be said about classism on the Titanic. While there was no deliberate class prejudice in the evacuation (despite what the movies say), it was the wealthy passengers who were mostly by chance the first to be rescued, while the steerage passengers were left to fend for themselves. When you look at a disaster like the 1914 sinking of the Empress of Ireland, it's almost entirely forgotten by the world at large, despite having a death toll comparable to that of Titanic's, and all the same different classes of people were aboard. The Empress was an absolutely beloved ship on both sides of the Atlantic, and she was just as opulent and class segregated as the Titanic. She was crashed into by a coal carrying ice breaker in the fog, and she rolled onto her side and disappeared within 15 minutes, taking 1,012 people with her. And yet, if you ask the people of the port cities that once loved the Empress, namely Quebec and Liverpool, you'll be returned a blank stare. So why is she forgotten? Precisely because the story of the disaster lacks everything that made Titanic's sinking so poignant - it happened too fast for any evacuation to happen, the ship wasn't exactly the sparkling example of technology on her maiden voyage, and no class of passenger or crew was particularly better off than any other. People died when the Empress of Ireland sank, whereas a society's hopes and dreams died when the Titanic sank. And with that, I've sort of answered my own question. But what troubles me still is how romanticised the disaster has become - and no, I think Rose DeWitt Bukater is a perfectly fine narrative vessel for the purpose of that movie. It's just that, the sinking of the Titanic was a through and through tragedy. It honestly is beyond me how anyone can think they can make a family attraction for all the kids out of a sunken ocean liner that killed over a thousand people, but that's the human race for you. We've invented a romance out of the circumstances of when the ship sank. There have been hundreds of world's largest ships on their maiden voyages, there have been hundreds of shipping disasters, but never at the same time. TL;DR - Titanic is a very juicy story with lots of drama, but I think people today are a little too fond of it.

    The boarded up building used to be a Cineplex Odeon multiplex theatre, 6 screens, not very big though. Across the street next to the Commodore bowling alley was the Famous Players theatre called The Granville 7 aka The Empire. Saw Pretty Woman, Bloodsport, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and the Back To The Future trilogy among many other movies on the Granville Mall.

    That walkway at the end of the alley between the Orpheum's front and back sections used to have a ladder next to it that got you to the rooftops of that entire block, you could get into the Commodore's back stairwell through a roof hatch, they never had security at the top, just by the back door so it was easy seeing free shows. Only problem was that the ladder was a few stories high and had no guard cage in case you slipped, if you had a fear of heights you were buying tickets.

    Seen quite a few shows at The Commodore, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Overkill, and Suicidal Tendencies with Exodus were a few of the earlier ones back around 1989-1990 although the very first show I saw there was the year I first moved to BC, Nazareth in 1983 with my dad. We were supposed to see Black Sabbath with Quiet Riot a couple weeks later at Pacific Colosseum but Sabbath had to cancel due to Geezer's bronchitis, I never got to see Sabbath live, my one huge regret in life, I was raised on Sabbath throughout the 1970s.

    When you said most KISS fans agreed that Sonic Boom is a good album I have to disagree. I do, however, understand when you said many of us have a connection to what our favorite bands release when we're around that age (12-13). I was very young in the late 70's & my mom bought me a copy of the "I was made for loving you/Hard Times" 45 rpm single. It was a huge hit at the time. I was obviously familiar with KISS but it wasn't until I was 12-13 like you that I really began getting into hard rock/metal & KISS was probably my favorite. I will always have a connection to Asylum for the same reason you have with Sonic Boom. That said, I didn't think too highly of Sonic Boom. When I heard "When Lightning Strikes" I was a little embarrassed. I felt they were blatantly casting Tommy as a fake Ace. It was Ace who electrocuted himself when he touched the railing in Hollywood, Florida. You may be familiar with the story already. Paul & Gene now, in addition to dressing him like Ace & telling him to play in Ace's style, were now having him do a song themed on electricity? I'm not a KISS purist nor am I an Ace Frehley loyalist but that seemed really weak. I don't think Sonic Boom or Monster are bad albums, I have them both, I just never reach for them. I would've preferred Tommy & Eric in their own make up, something that suited them.

    Wild to me that they don’t have a Coco ride yet, but I acknowledge these things take time.
