False Movie Syndrome

Play it again, Sam.

Why do we remember so many movie and TV lines that weren't actually said? Tony Curtis just died, and I expect at least half the obituaries to quote, "Yonda lies da castle a my fodda." He did not say that in a movie. In his autobiography, American Prince, he reports that the quote was made up by an actress (name justly lost to history, or at least he mentioned it and I didn't recognize it) to mock the inherently ridiculous idea of a Jewish sex idol.

In the wake of two more people killing themselves because idiots hated their sexual nature, rm talks about not doing so, despite the provocation. I admire her courage and dream of the day when it will be unnecessary.

We're really not all like that. Please don't judge us by our horrible examples. Maybe we can assimilate

Thanx to redstapler
