    Yeah so I'm really easily influenced by films.

    Like whenever I watch Clueless I always want to be nice to everybody and do good for the wolrd and then I watch Pretty Persuasion and I want to do evil and shoot up schools. :confused:

    I only started being like this in the last few months. I used to have like, my own opinions and aspirations and stuff.

    So how easily influenced are you? And have you ever done something silly after seeing it in a movie?

    I'd think about staying away from the horror genre if I were you.

    Anytime I pop on big brother I actually realise that I take intelligent conversations for granted.

    Watching booze britain makes me want to drink though and this morning that nicorette ad on the radio about the bloke dying for a cigarette made me feel the exact same way :(

    that new ad for yop, i love it.
    hadn't had a yop in ages, bought one yesterday

    YOP!

    and to totally sidetrack this thread, dont you just hate the way youd be watching a good movie in the cinema/ whatever, and the last 20 mins of it are some awful hollywood ****e feelgood happy ending, designed to make you feel good, and tell all your friends it was really good, when you know that the guy who wrote it is probably going to kill himself when he sees what a ballsup they made of it, just for higher box-office takings

    or is it just me?

    i pick up accents and mannerisms very quickly, whether its from people im talking to, or whatever im watchin on telly.

    consequently, my walk turns funny and swaggery directly after watching pirates of the caribbean, get really childish after watchin most cartoons, act somewhat like dory after watching finding nemo, talk like an idiot after watching father ted......

    fortunately i dont watch too much tv though...

    after I saw Schindler's List I developed a strong urge to forcibly shave women's hair

    Watching someone dig into a thick tasty looking stew , especially in westerns for some reason, makes my mouth water and i feel the need to feed my face.

    I've never felt the urge to try to leap tall buildings in a single bound though.

    I blame video games, porn, television, the media in general, society, Bill Gates, dolphins, the Japanese and your parents. In that order.

    Everytime I watch Clueless I want to rape the flip out of Alicia Silverstone.
