Let them eat cake, Scotty

Movies are famous for being quoted, and as it turns out, misquoted. But California_Dreamin is setting the record straight with today’s LOTD, Famous Misquotes.

I only cried a little when I learned that some of my favorite quotes were never actually spoken or written. No more “I want to suck your blood” jokes during vampire movies. Besides getting the true story behind your favorite famous misquotes, you’ll also learn how language changes have altered our interpretation of some quotes, and how leaving lines out can totally reverse the meaning of a story.

Do you also possess a knack for weird trivia? Turn that knowledge into a lens! It’s “Elementary, my dear Watson.”
