Crazy movie coincidence!!!!!!!!!!
I watched two movies on April 1, “Nim’s Island” and “Super Mario Bros.” They are very different films, yet I just noticed they have two major things in common. One, they both feature characters who are germphobic (Jodie Foster in one, Dennis Hopper in the other). Two, they were both directed by husband-and-wife teams. Isn’t it a bizarre coincidence that I should happen to watch them on the same day?!!?!!!?!???!??!

Its not such a coincidence if you watch Super Mario Bros at least once a day, like me. Everybody Walk The Dinosaur!

This is an odd post.
I would say the pressure has finally gotten to Eric, but…what pressure?

Just watch, next he’ll be writing letters to Raven. More than three exclaimation points is a sure sign of insanity.

On April 3, my roommates and I watched The Mist just before seeing The Ruins.
Both had people confined to a space where stuff grabbed them by their legs and where somebody ended up stabbing somebody else.

As humans, our brains are wired to categorize and find similarities and differences. (We can’t seem to get computers to do it, that’s what makes computer image recognition so pesky and difficult). So we look up at a cloud and see similarities to — I don’t know — a pine cone riding on a frog. Anyway, you see two movies. There are so many aspects that you could notice about a movie, that if you search, there are bound to be a few frieky coincidences.
This is how many conspiracy theories occur. If you’ve ever looked at the list of similarities between Abe Lincoln and JFK, you might be a bit weirded out. But John Leavy at U Texas claimed to be able to come up with a similar list with ANY pair of US presidents. There are just so many bits of info about a president that some of them are bound to be similar. If you focus only on the similarities, it will seem like some kind of conspiracy, but there’s really nothing to it.
