  1. A Facebook post. A dramatic illustration showing the heart-stopping moments as the Titanic split in two in the silent night ocean. โ›ด๏ธ๐Ÿ’” Fun Fact: > Although often depicted as breaking apart in films, the truth that the Titanic broke into two pieces was only scientifically proven in 1985 after its wreckage was found on the seabed. (Photo of the ship breaking. Bow underwater separating from the stern.) My comment: It did break up. But it's always depicted as sinking whole in movies pre 1997 James Cameron. Because by '97 we knew for a fact that she broke up, and Cameron portrayed it that way. Movies pre '97 like A Night to Remember (1958) based on the Walter Lord book of the same name were filmed before the wreck was discovered. Nobody knew it broke up in spite of eyewitness who saw it break and said that it did. They were not believed. When the wreck was discovered by Dr. Robert Ballard on 9/1/85, history would change forever what we thought we knew about the Titanic.
  2. Dukes Trivia: The Styx River in Hazzard County in the show was actually The Santa Clarita River in Santa Clarita California. True or False?
  3. That's good no flooding. ๐Ÿ˜€
  4. I wish I could have one of the Skipper hats that Alan Hale (Skipper) signed when he autographed them and sold or gave them away at his Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel restaurant. He autographed the brims with "Alan Hale Skipper."
  5. Uh oh about the flooding. That's not good. ๐Ÿ˜จ
  6. I like the French song. It's catchy. Does anybody here know who that guy is in the French version of the theme song? The background singer who goes "ah ooh ah ooh" in between the main singer's words? I like that "ah ooh ah ooh" part.
  7. I found Dukes on TNN in 1996. I was 9. Now I'm 38. That's 30 years ago. Doesn't feel like that long ago for me either.
  8. Dipstick server. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm glad it's back though. ๐Ÿ˜€

  10. I thought that too.
  11. Mind-blowing reading experience alert! ๐Ÿคฏ When I read Gordon Korman's Titanic Book series, I don't just imagine the characters - I see and hear the James Cameron movie cast! ๐Ÿ˜ Bernard Hill as Captain Smith, Jonny Phillips as Lightoller, Kathy Bates as Molly Brown... it's like the movie's playing in my head! ๐ŸŽฌ This happens with other books too! Stephen King's Christine = John Carpenter's cast (Keith Gordon as Arnie, John Stockwell as Dennis...), and James McLendon's Eddie Macon's Run = Jeff Kanew's crew (John Schneider as Eddie, Kirk Douglas as Marzack...). I even hear the movie soundtracks! ๐Ÿ˜‚ When Christine kills Moochie, I hear "Little Bitty Pretty One" ๐Ÿค˜. Has anyone else got a book-to-movie brain like mine? ๐Ÿ˜„ #readingcommunity #booklovers #moviemagic
  12. Today is The Dukes of Hazzard Day. January 26, 1979. The series premiered 47 years ago on this date with One Armed Bandits. Happy 47th Anniversary Dukes of Hazzard! ๐Ÿ˜€
  13. Christine(1983)Book/Movie fans... What Arnie Cunningham knew that nobody else knew was the car was haphazardly restoring itself. That explains the hopscotch of old and new parts. The half grille etc.
  14. My brother said "An ice storm is coming." Our Mom said "It's supposed to get bad here."

  17. Any fans of this Kurt Russell movie?
  18. Happy ending to Book Three of the Gordon Korman Titanic Novel series - S. O. S.! ๐Ÿ˜€ Survivors made it to New York, and Paddy's got a surprising reward for saving some unexpected friends. But the bittersweet part? Paddy's girlfriend Sophie never sees him again, just a mysterious "Godspeed P" note. Sophie's raising the little orphan girl she rescued, named after her dad and Alfie, the Titanic steward. A mix of sadness and happiness in the end ๐Ÿ˜ข. #Titanic #GordonKorman #HappyEnding
  19. Did you know there's a hidden symbolism in Titanic (1997)? In the Captain Smith lemon tea scene, the cup represents the North Atlantic Ocean, and the lemon slice under the tea symbolizes the hidden iceberg beneath the surface. Mind blown, right? #Titanic #JamesCameron #Symbolism
  20. Turk:"Grits an' Greens strike again!" ๐Ÿ˜€
  21. My new toy I picked up yesterday Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Can't put it down. Need to find the first 2 Titanic Books Novels. The series is: 1. Titanic Unsinkable 2. Titanic Collision Course 3. Titanic S. O. S. (I found this one. It's hard to put it down.) ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
  22. Titanic (1997) Captain Smith:"Clear." Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:"Yes. I don't think I've ever seen such a flat calm." Smith:"Like a mill pond, not a breath of wind." Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:"It will make the bergs harder to see... with no breaking water at the base." Smith:"Hmm. Well, I'm off. Mantain speed and heading, Mr. Lightoller." Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:"Yes, sir." Did you know the Lemon Tea scene served a purpose as did every scene James Cameron shot. The Lemon Tea scene with Captain Smith playing with the Lemon slice with his spoon, the cup of Tea represents the ocean, and the Lemon under the Tea represents the part of the iceberg underneath the water. The scene is a representation of visibility.
  23. The French Dukes of Hazzard words in English. You got the blues inside We can see it in your eyes The blues is pretty good Ok, but you have to put some country in your mood Dream in the day And make your honey With the fire that shines In every girl's eyes The country life is the one I have chosen I can tear your fog With a single guitar chord Don't be pushed around again Without playing the bad man If there's a law You will have to show your claws And make the Sheriff go
  24. The Dukes of Hazzard French Extended version. You got the blues inside We can see it in your eyes The blues is pretty good OK, but you have to put some country in your mood Dream in the day And make your honey With the fire that shines In every girl's eyes The country life is the one I have chosen I can tear your fog With a single guitar chord Leave your greyness And make your star dance The blues are pretty good OK, but you have to put some country in your mood The country life is the one I have chosen I can take your fog With a single guitar chord Don't be pushed around again Without playing the bad man If there's a law You will have to show your claws And make the Sheriff go
  25. The Boss Hogg is very mean. ๐Ÿ˜‚ In The Dukes of Hazzard Racing For Home PlayStation 1 PC and Game Boy Color, he has Rosco arrest Bo and Luke after they save his life from the hijackers who hijacked his Cadillac and stole his money. He has Rosco arrest the boys after they rescue him and get the money back for him. He does this to try and stop them from driving in the Overland Race which is the next day. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ It doesn't work. Daisy Uncle Jesse and Cooter get the bail money and get them out. ๐Ÿ˜€
