We all have aspects of our lives that serve as frames for how we see the world. For some it can be their religion or a disability. One of my main frames is being a nondriver in the Midwest.

Others frame how they see life through movies--the Godfather, Star Wars, Caddyshack, or the Rocky Horror Picture Show. While sitting at the bus stop tonight, I realized that Gremlins 2: The New Batch has infiltrated my brain. I watched a rabbit hop away from the bus stop bench and realized I can't look at a rabbit without hearing a gremlin voice saying "Bunny rabbit!"

(I am, of course, referring to the "Technical Difficulties" scene where gremlins take over the movie theater projection booth, make gremlin-hand shadows, and demand to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarves until Hulk Hogan commands them to cut it out. The DVD version is the original film version and is the one you want to see; the VHS version is not as funny.) --heidi
