Everyone's noticed the "Quotes" ad campaign the Academy had running all over town, right? Posters proclaming "Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn" or "I Coulda Been a Contender."
Well, the one right there on the tower of H&H, adjacent to the Kodak Theater, featured on the Oscar broadcast, 40-feet all and a hundred feet in the air was the one blaring "I'm the King of the World!"
Yeah, it's a quote from
Titantic. But who can not be reminded of James Cameron's "uppity" yell from the podium upon accepting the Best Picture Oscar? It set a new level for acceptance uppity, one that will reign for generations I think ... and Mirren's was hardly a blip in comparison.

Heheh, that was a subtle jab at your husband. He recently posted a reference to a live journal comment here that no one but he and I would have understood ... and I was just trying to point out in a vaguely humorous way that some of us know each other so well, we are not necessarily responding to merely what's posted when we post a reply on the LoT.

That's funny ... according to my notes, that's your exact quote.
I thought it was obvious that line was one of my standard exaggerations for dramatic effect. But did you not tell me you had a problem with
West Bank Story because you perceived an anti-Israeli stance??
If you hadn't, my mistake ... and I apologize.
(
But my notes say otherwise.)
