I agree. The Fitzgerald is not as glamorous as the Titanic, so most of the people who would go see such a movie (or even boycott it de novo) would be Fitzgerald buffs like me. I'm worried about historic inaccuracy. I'd hate, I admit, for all my interest-borne research to be ruined by some movie that makes everyone feel as though they're an expert after a couple hours' worth of movie-viewing. I even heard Cameron was thinking of changing the story such that the Fitz was UPbound on the lakes during that storm (how would he even justify carrying a full load of cargo in that direction?) just to make the story more dramatic!! I hope the movie doesn't fly at all.
Thanks
