films

I used to think that when they said "Now showing at theaters everywhere", that it was showing at every single theater in existence.

I once believed that E.T. was real and that he stood outside my bedroom door at night!

I used to believe everything in Star Wars was real. I wanted the Millenium Falcon to come take me to space.

Thanks to my cousin, I used to believe that Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street) lived in his attic. I guess he was bitter because when he was little he was told JFK's ghost lived there. I bet Freddy Krueger and JFK make great roommates!

At the end of the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade I thought that Harrison Ford and Sean Connery really got immortality because they drank off the ("real") holy grail. That made me jealous of them that they were so priviledged to be in a movie that makes them immortal. In a way of course - I was right.

When I was about 7 my family and I went to a theme park that was dedicated to movies. When we were walking out I noticed a topiary that had a sign that said "Edward Scissorhands was here". Until I was 10 I thought that he was a spy and that Scissorhands was his codename.

The very first movie I saw in the theatre was E.T. I was very distressed as I thought E.T. was going to come out of the Exit doors and get me!

I used to believe that if a movie showed a character as a kid, and then showed them older, that they had had to wait for the actor to grow up in order to film the rest of the movie. So basically, I thought a lot of movies took 10 or 12 (or 20) years to make.

when I was little I thought if you drew a door like on beetlejuice you would actually go through to the other side,so I drew a door,knocked 3 times and nothing happened..sad day

I used to think Superman was real. My dad showed me a picture of George Reeves from the '50s Superman show and said he was Superman and that he fought in World War II. Dad then told me that Superman retired to live in Queens, in a house right down the road from our own. He refused to take me there.

My little brother used to believe that every time you watched a film, the actors/actresses had to act it every single time!

I used to believe that in crime scenes at movies, people really was killed...

We used to listen to the soundtrack to _Fiddler On the Roof_ constantly when I was little. When the second daughter is leaving home, she says, "Papa! God alone knows when we shall see each other again." I heard this as "Got a long nose when we shall see each other again." I figured she meant "we'll be very old," since the oldest person I knew, my grandmother, had indeed got a very long nose.

I used to believe that Agatha Christie, Angela Lansbury, and Jessica Fletcher were all the same person. I was finally corrected after "Beauty and the Beast" came out, when I said, "Wow, I can't believe that's Agatha Christie doing the voice of the teapot."
