She got skills.

I didn't realize there was a cup on there after fifth loop.

Me neither, can't figure out why.

She was just a typical woman... she had no further use for him so he was expendable.

Yes. Good way to fight the cold.

One could argue about the reserve buoyancy of the raft. But to me in the movie it sat rather comfortably in the water.

The Mythbusters tested this recently (with help from James Cameron himself) and found that Jack and Rose could indeed have both survived until the rescue boat arrived. Specifically, they verified that Jack would have died had he stayed in the water as portrayed but a person could survive out of the water in the cold air for the hour-plus Cameron specified the rescue boat took, even with wet clothes. A test with Adam and Jamie in a pool (on a proportionally larger raft to account for their larger size and mass than the heroes) showed that it's not easy but it is possible to arrange both bodies on the raft. They found that when they secured the life preservers they had at hand under the raft the buoyancy issues immediately became much more manageable. It would require a small but not unreasonable amount of work but it's quite possible to have both survive.

There's a cup?

Well it is a disaster, I'm not sure how well irganised they would be. I'd just throw my one night stand off.

I saw the movie once and hated it, so I can't exactly remember the end. Did Rose ever say, "Jack, get up here. There's some room." Because I remember her being sprawled out on that thing and I was thinking, "Why not just scoot over, bitch?"

I remember he tries toclimb up and it tips a bit then he gives up.

Then they did the best they could given the situation.
