Dame Maggie Smith

And David Copperfield ends this way

Spoiler:

And now, as I close my task, subduing my desire to linger yet, these faces fade away. But one face, shining on me like a Heavenly light by which I see all other objects, is above them and beyond them all. And that remains.

I turn my head, and see it, in its beautiful serenity, beside me.

My lamp burns low, and I have written far into the night; but the dear presence, without which I were nothing, bears me company.

O Agnes, O my soul, so may thy face be by me when I close my life indeed; so may I, when realities are melting from me, like the shadows which I now dismiss, still find thee near me, pointing upward!

NO!!!!! Why did I open the spoiler?! Now I know he ends up with Agnes. Or she dies. That's what I get for not reading the book.

Ha! I was hoping you'd resist the spoiler and you MUST read the book, it's wonderful!

And is Dame a title? How does one get that title?

Well, you gotta be British, for starters, so that let's me out. In America, you can be a dame, There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world, there is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame.....yada yada yada

I was totally in that musical....

As far as I'm concerned, there are only 2 dames in the world. Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith. So there.

I love it when it turns out I had absolutely no idea what a movie was about. I just watched American Gigolo. The only thing I knew about it was that scene of Gere picking out his clothes while singing with the radio. Somehow I formed a childhood preconceived notion of it from just that and never any interest.

It's not exactly a good movie but it was more interesting than I expected. I'm still confused as to why Lauren Hutton is considered attractive, though.

Just don't bring up European Gigolo, I think Disney should get the rights to that, just to lock it into the Disney Vault forever.
