   Maybe he was referring to the infamous film "Raise the Titanic", a   
   huge-budgeted 1979 film that disappeared faster that the original ship. This   
   film brought down the entertainment empire of the famed British producer Sir   
   Lew Grade. After the film bombed, Sir Grade quipped "It would have been   
   cheaper to lower the Adlantic"
