A Whole Lotta Twilight Aping, Movie Mimicking Muck

There are a great deal of folks out there who don't believe their television watching, movie loving ways are doing any harm. I suppose if you watched only the best, it might be a good thing...

"Now wait a second!" you may be thinking. "You love movies!" "And wait, aren't you just finding things wrong with that simpleton you almost married?"

Well, not really. I just find human relationship studies fascinating. I kind of loved this bit of fun on the topic of language style matching.

"When two people start a conversation, they usually begin talking alike within a matter of seconds..." "This also happens when people read a book or watch a movie. As soon as the credits roll, they find themselves talking like the author or the central characters."

James Pennebaker, University of Texas, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology


It's always nice to have a little reminder to watch what I watch...
