I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone posted this? It's an interview with the cast of Anchorman, where they all just lie and shit.

QUESTION FROM THE PRESS:What do you think you can teach Nicole Kidman about comedy? (The Oscar-winning actress is co-starring in "Bewitched.")

Ferrell: Uh. You know. I'm not really familiar with Nicole Kidman as an actress. I've heard that she's done some great stuff. And I hear that she's got a cute little rear end on her.

QUESTION FROM THE PRESS: Christina, have you ever experienced sexism in Hollywood?

Applegate: No, I don't find it. The casting couch thing is a normal thing, right? I mean,that's what we do to get jobs.

Koechner: That's not sexism. We all did it.

The Ring is really, really really fucking scary. It's as scary as the Exorcist.

Scarier. The latter did nothing for me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

You know,other than The Last Unicorn when I was 5, I can't think of any movie that's truly scared me. I just don't think my brain is built for horror movie appreciation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do horror books scare you, Jess?

The two movies which gave me nightmares were Candyman and Event Horizon. Also possibly Child's Play.

I'm lucky in that movies and books don't give me nightmares. In fact, just to be sure they don't, I think about the material extra hard and extra vividly as I fall asleep. Because I never dream about the things I think about then.

Hard to say -- I haven't really made much of an effort to get into them. Stephen King does nothing for me. Orson Scott Card's "Tales of Dread" are absolutely terrifying.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Poltergeist scared the crap out of me at the time of its release. I was like 12 or so when it came out. The funny story my mom likes to tell is that it came out right before ET and when I went to ET, I was scared witless for the first 10 minutes or so waiting for it to be like Poltergeist. Damn you, Spielberg!

In recent years, The Blair Witch Project frightened the shit out of me. The Ring didn't scare me. It had some creepy moments, but I was so amazed at the terrible acting Naomi Watts did that I couldn't lose myself in it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Movies scared me when I was a kid, but when I was a kid I thought a tiger might be lying on my bed when the lights are off. (No amount of proof would make each approach to the darkened bedroom any more logical.)

Movies startle me now, and make me think about them and remember them and sometimes come back to them with "Oh, that's awful" or something, but scare? In the "there might be a tiger on my bed" sense? No.
