The first time I saw First Blood, I was in the first grade. The next day I filled my Fisher Price Houdini Kit up with steak knives and I took it to school, and I threw them at the kids at recess, and got suspended. My mother said I couldn’t watch movies anymore because I was too heavily influenced by them. And then the first time I saw Rocky I went out and picked a fight, and I lost, because I thought I could fight. I thought I was Sylvester Stallone, and thought I could fight. Movies took me into their world and I had to get snapped out of it. I don’t think I’m alone in that way. You always come out of a movie, and you feel like you’re that character.
yes. absolutely. yes. this is it.
