For some reason this hit me really hard after "Aguirre". I would slink around, staring holes in people. Thank God it didn't go any further than that.

Yeah, well, it was her idea to watch Elementary, so she should have expected me to adopt Johnny Lee Miller’s speaking cadence.

My youngest kid with all the Disney movies. Right now he somehow has 'Turning Red' memorized --it's the most tween movie ever so there are many moments for him to remind me I am the mother of a tween with lines from it.

Heavily employed this technique around the age of 14, specifically inspired by any Jim Carrey movie. Friends and family were no doubt highly impressed and eager for it to continue for far longer than it should.

Wasn't there a 4chan post about a guy who saw Baby Driver and made it his entire backstory and then fucked up by showing his girlfriend Baby Driver?

I guess that if the girlfriend tolerated it for even 1 month that she would be a stayer.

I did method watching a few times back in the day , but that involved not sleeping or eating the day before The Machinist, drinking red bull and coffee before Crank, and my friends and I slapping each other during Jackass.

It's refreshing, crisp, but subversive. It's a new paradigm in your dairy existence. Indulgence mixed with tradition. Crossing beverage barriers to find your true self. It's what everybody is trying to do, but have a drink with us and you can do it Quik as a Bunny.
