We're on similar themes at present. I've been writing a lot
   about movies and their influences on my conceptualization of
   reality.

   Recent 'ding' moment:

   a) 31st anniversary of The Breakfast Club b) I come clean about
   my opinions of various John Hughes movies. c) A friend comments
   her love of Bill Murray, Rick Morantis and John Candy d) I
   mention STRIPES! as favorite in her shifted category and not to
   leave out Rick Morantis, "Little Giants" was my favorite of his,
   the "grown-up Nerd who has to prove his worth to his brother"
   which was a version of "The Bad News Bears" - but it had a beer
   drinking rat trapper (Walter Matthau - another favorite actor of
   mine).

   Then my 'ding moment':

   I'm not a Team Player. Stripes, Bad News Bears and Little Giants
   all showed teams (military, baseball, football) as absurd and
   ridiculous things, which is exactly how I view teams.

   On top of it all, I own an animal trapping company. My brother
   *is* Walter Matthau in Bad News Bears (that is, if he wasn't
   married w/children) and I am a variant of Rick Morantis.

   Self-analysis through movies. It's not as broad (or deep) a
   thing as you're doing, which sounds revolutionary, but not bad
   for a few minutes of typing [1]connections-movies
