In no particular order, or quoting...<br/><br/>I'm a big Mel Brooks fan, and Men in Tights has been one of my favorites for sometime. After I lost my sight, I just found the character of Blinkin even more entertining... so when I created my E account, it sort of fit.<br/><br/>Another one that far too many took as "real" was The Blaire Witch Project, which went so far as to create a website to support it's "Real" story background and selected footage not shown in the movie... It actually said, on a back page someplace that you had to look for that it was a fictional story, but alot of people believed it for weeks... that was the only frightening part of "The most frightening movie I ever saw."<br/><br/>Personally, I found the whole movie boring as hell and about as scary as a box of cornflakes.<br/><br/>But then, my ex-sister in law saw Ghost Busters at the theatre and came home to pick up a knife and search the house for ... ghost... So, her views are highly suspect.<br/><br/>I do feel that TV news media hold too much power to twist the "truth" to whatever improves their ratings and focus on negative stories specifically for that. When entertainment media can take advantage of that and it seem real, it IS frightening.
