Zetta, I never thought of it that way...hmm, that would be an interesting dinner party...
Emma, no, not analyzing anyone, no way, not me, would never do that!
*jotting down something in his notebook*
(I am not nor have I ever been employed as a head-shrinker...I never pursued a job in that field)
Rugbug, I also kept my lights on for awhile...but in the hopes of catching him before he got me!
I did take several classes in abnormal psych, and was fascinated by the things a human mind can become. Still scary, though!
Holding until you get back, Captain.

Saw the Exorcist when I was eight or nine, finished the book at eleven I think. A movie that started me on asking strange questions about religion and *air-quote* "God." This further led me to take religious studies (self-taught, though) and save a girl from a horrible life two months ago.
Think I can't say anymore: it was a semi-confession, and although I'm no priest, (or choir-boy, for that matter) I still respect confidentiality.
On the very off-chance you're out there, girl, know that someone won't always be there to pick you up, but you can never leave yourself. And don't forget what I said.
Over-emotional post, definitely.

Okay, here's a different angle on a life-changing movie.
I was about 11 when A Hard Day's Night came out. I was a Beatlemaniac and wanted to see it very badly, but my parents refused permission.
So I went anyway, and lied about what movie I'd gone to.
That was the first time I'd defied my parents and lied to them -- or, generally, asserted myself as an individual.
Ironic twist: my friends and I went to a special first-day showing, and it was cram-packed full of screaming girls. I hardly heard any of the movie! I guess that was Karmic justice or something.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Doncoat Great post.
I can't claim anything as Psychologically revealing (possibly fortunately for you all).
Most of my life changing media experiences have been with books - my first love.
One called 'No Moon Tonight' was bought at jumble sale for 10p in 1982. It was the story of a man who joined the Australian air force in the war and flew over Germany. It was the idea of people plucked from civilian life to fight a unique type of war that fascinated me and since then I've studied, ahem "Civilian Armies Of the Western English Speaking World". This actually includes all the commonwealth forces, regardless of language or colour for that matter. This covers:
American Civil War
WWI
WWII
Korea
Vietnam
Other Colonial wars.
Thanks to this I've met some ordinary seeming people who contrived astonishing feats of bravery and endurance.
I'm not militaristic and I certainly don't collect guns or aircraft paint codes I'm simply interested in the human condition.

Just to clarify I don't collect anything!
When I was young I saw "The Day Of The Triffids" on BBC telly. Giant mobile flesh eating plants preying on a blinded population.
For weeks afterwards I wouldn't go near any bushes or trees when walking home from school in the dark.
The TV event that stands out in my mind is a real one. That is the attack on New York on Sept 11 2001. I had started my dream job the day before. Anyway as reports came in over the internet I ran for home turned on SKY and went straight for CNN.
I realised that what I saw that day would change the world for ever. Two of my housemates also came home and sat stunned on the sofa. I vividly recall saying in all seriousness that this could be the start of the end of the world.
The fact that we could just switch straight onto CNN and watch what America was seeing was a very odd and powerful feeling but my mind was so jumbled that I have never been able to clarify exactly what itwas that I was feeling.
Enough rambling.
