films

many moons ago (well, i'm not that old) i was at the cinema with a friends of mine and a trailer for a new film came on. after a few film clips it said "tom cruise", then some more film clips and "renee zellwigger", then a few more clips and "jerry maguire" and i turned to my friend and said "i've heard of the 1st two, but who's she?". sadly i hadn't realised that jerry maguire was the name of the film... this 'friend' has never let me live it down and bought me the video a few years back just to rub it in!

when i was little and when i go to the theaters i always think that there's someone on top of us acting and shooting the scine on the white board. I always wanted to go to the room to see the actors.

Childish Minds

i used to believe that actors in the film actually worked on screen in the movie theatre as on a stage and they come out when the theatre gets empty.

i always thought that when i watched a movie, there were people behind my screen that were acting it out at the very moment for me.

I once went to watch a movie and saw the main hero die a tragic death. Thinking that he was dead for good, I started crying and created quite a scene. I coulndn't bear the fact that now he wont be able to make any more movies!

A couple of years ago when the Excorsist of Emily Rose came out, one of my friends saw a sceen from it. It was the one wear she wakes up around 3 A.M. and the devil enters the building and posses her. I thought that could actually happen to me. It still freaks me out to leave my room at 3 A.M.

Moose Man is the friend who told me that

I always thought when someone died in a movie that the person who died was played by a person on death-row so the directors always hired them to make it more realistic

When I was 7, I watched the movie, "Arthur locked in the library," and it scared me so much that I refused to go into libraries because I thought that if you went in, you would get locked in and get eaten by an evil grandfather clock. I also thought that the aforementioned clock would kill you if you sat on the toilet for too long.

When I was child I used to believe that when Cüneyt ARKIN (Turkish famous actor) was dead in a movie, he was dead in real life then ı used to cry...

There's a scene in the movie "Herbie: Fully Loaded" where, for a single second, you can see Lindsay Lohan's bare shoulders and upper back as she changes clothes. I thought this qualified as nudity and was shocked that the film was rated G. It was long time before I realized it was possible for movies to have ACTUAL nudity.

Other examples include a moment in "Kangaroo Jack" where the camera lingers on the female lead's (completely covered) breasts - I just didn't realize it was possible for movie content to get more graphic than that and was bewildered that the movie got away with the PG rating.

I used to think that people that died in movies, died in real life too

When my sister was little, she was on tv one day and the movie Austin powers was on one of the channels, she misread it and thought the movie was called, autism powers.

The first time I watched Bridge to Terabithia I thought Leslie was beaten to death by the giant troll. It upset me because it seemed like such a brutal way to die

I used to wait my letter for Hogwarts. I'm 28 years old and still waiting. :(

Harry Potter

i used to love to play with my barbies and dolls. well one day i watched "chuckie" with my mom. i was so scared of my barbies after that, that my mom had to move them into her room.

I was watching this scary movie with my uncle and it had scary music. The next day when I went to the park, I thought that the band of men that were in the movie were coming to get me since I thought that the same music was playing. I ran to my aunt at the playground. I said in my high-pitched voice, "A band of men are coming to get me!!! (I pointed to where I saw them) See!!!". Then I hid behind me aunt hoping that they wouldn't eat us or if they had to, that they would eat my aunt first!!!

For years I thought the local cinema should replace their curtains because as they opened the film shone through them!

When I was young. My sister and her friends used to always watch Amittlyville: The Possesion and it used to freak me out so much. I was always scared of looking at the case and I always believed that Sonny (the guy that gets possessed in the movie) was always there in the dark just watching and waiting for me to fall asleep. Today, I'm still freaked out by those nightmares but when I watcht he movie I'm not scared of it.

When I was little and I watched movies I used to think the actors were acting out their parts over and over again. I couldn't understand how they got it exactly the same every time, and I didn't understand why they'd want to put on the same show just for me, but I still thought they did.

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.
