A Lady's Ruminations

"Jane was firm where she felt herself to be right." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Is It Any Wonder?

Look at the films that were nominated for the big awards, and won.

From: IMDB.com:

Oscar Wins Not Translating to Ticket Sales

Oscar winners saw virtually no spike in midweek attendance following Sunday night's ceremonies. Brokeback Mountain was the only film to return to the top ten, but its gross actually fell considerably below that of the previous week, when it was expected to take top honors. The film is not expected to remain in the top ten through the weekend. The best film winner, Crash, did see an increase in DVD sales, rising to No. 19 on Amazon.com's list of top sellers, up more than 80 places from the previous week. Lionsgate said on Monday that it had sold 17,500 copies of Crash, but that was nothing compared with North American sales of 5 million copies of the fourth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, on the same day.
I posted Who Really Cares? on Sunday. It has Conservative opinions and thoughts on the Oscars and more. And don't miss Ann Coulter's newest column, about the "winners". Great stuff.

And hooray for Harry Potter!
