I used to believe…

When i was little i watched resident evil and got paranoid. One thing i remeber is that anything that looks like a gate would cut you to pieces so i would cry and cry !

I used to believe…

When I was four I'd never been to the movies before. My sister and cousins took me along with them to see Mary Poppins. I got bored with the movie and screamed for them to change the channel because I thought it was an enormous tv.

I used to believe…

When I was younger i thought that that the cloud rhino (from that old "James and the giant peach" movie) was real. I never would disobey my evil teachers all throughout kindergarden-3rd grade.

i once had a friend who went to see a lianardo decaprio movie, and in the end the character which he played died. my friends husband was sitting next to a girl who started to cry. then he leaned over and said to her, ( jokingly) " you know, he actually did die in real life". and that just made the girl bawl even harder. boy, did he feel bad after that!

I used to believe…

There is a part in the Gremlins movie when they are messing with the tv and in the film it goes all fuzzy like it's been disconnected for a while only i thought it was real when i was younger and got really scared

I used to believe…

When I was very young, whenever I would watch a video, there would be this nagging worry in the back of my mind that I was inconveniencing the actors by making them come over and act out the movie all over again.

I used to believe…

My family and I were stranded in Delaware when our international flight was canceled. My parents took my brother (age 6) and me (age 8) to the movies...they picked Pretty Woman, not knowing what it was about. I thought throughout the whole movie that Julia Roberts was Richard Gere's secretary. Needless to say that when I grew up and realized what she really was, I was shocked!

I was excited for my 10th birthday because that's the age Ash Ketchem became a pokemon trainer. After that fantasy I rebounded with 11 because that's when Harry Potter got the Hogwarts letter from the owl.

I believed that old movies from the 30s and 40s were filmed in black and white because color hadn't been invented yet. However, the movie The Wizard Of Oz confused me cause it was both in color and black and white. So I came to the conclusion that they had known that color was about to be invented so they filmed the black and white scenes first (which actually was filmed in sepia tone) and then filmed the color scenes after it was invented. What confirmed my beliefs further that color didn't exist back then was the the Wizard Of Oz book describes Kansas as having no color.

I used to believe…

When I was five and Lion King obsessed, I REFUSED to believe that Mufasa was dead, and I thought grown Simba was Mufasa, and grown Nala was Serabi (or whatever I forgot her name) and the rest of the plot was Simba got lost and they were looking for him, so at the end I thought Kiara was Simba. And I also thought Simba had dreamed the entire thing. (What?)

All this just 'cause I didn't want Simba's dad to die. AREN'T I NICE?

I watched Beetlejuice when I was little and I thought Michael Keaton really looked like that. I wanted to find another movie he was in to see if he really looked like that.

I actually believed the movie E.T was real when i was like 5, and thought alien ships landed on Earth all the time. Freaked me out for years. Now even as an adult any alien movie is too much. yes i know E.T was friendly..still freaky. sorry.

I used to believe…

When my mother was young, she used to watch American musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and South Pacific etc and believed that in America people broke out into song and dance in the street whenever the mood took them.

I used to believe…

When i was younger i seen the movie "IT" and i would take very short showers and not very often at that, because i thought a verrry scary clown would come out and eat me.

I used to be afraid of the little disney movie called "Donald in Mathmagic Land" Not the hole movie, just when they showed the universe. I used to climb up on the back of the couch and sit Cuz I thought I'd be Safe there. I was an idiot...

I always felt really akward eating while I watched a movie. I thought that only my favorite actors could see me and that would be rude to eat while they talked. ie- Don't eat while Davy Jones is talking on Pirates of the Caribbean, he can see me.

I used to believe…

When my mom would take me to the movies she would let us go to the front row but I hated sitting there because I thought there was a giant hole for the movie people to put in a giant cassette tape, and i would fall in.
