Ever experience something that reminds you of a particular scene in a specific movie and think “I’m having a [_insert name of movie here_] moment”? For example, this morning I woke up and had to take an unusually long piss, and I couldn’t help thinking, “I’m having an _Austin Powers_ moment.” [For those who haven’t seen the movie and don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, he was awoken from cryogenic sleep and took the world’s longest piss.]

So… what are your movie moments?

**And no, I _don’t_ want to hear about the time you dressed in your dead mother’s clothes and took a knife to the sexy blonde who was staying in your motel, and thought, “I’m having a _Psycho_ moment,” thankyouverymuch…**

Well there was this one time…

I dressed in my dead mother’s clothes and took a knife to a sexy blonde who was staying in my motel, and I thought, “I’m having a Psycho moment”!

Most of my movie moments tend to be “Cormanesque.”

I’m usually left scratching my head and wondering, “What the hell just happened?”
