Thirty-six years later, it still scares the crap out of me; I can't believe my wife made me watch it.

Thirty-six years ago, when I was the relatively "new guy" in the lab, my colleagues suggested we all go to the movies with our spouses.

I spoke to my wife about the planned foray, and she asked, "What's the movie about?"

I told her, "I don't know. It sounds like something about farming."

She said, "What's it called?"

I said, "Silence of the Lambs."

My wife got it out of the library this week. She put it on.

OK, I know how it ends, but...

Damn. I had to take breaks. I couldn't sit through it straight.

When we saw it when it was in theaters all those years ago, my wife had problems sleeping for a couple of weeks.

Jodie Foster was very young when the movie came out. She's a year older than my wife.

Still creepy, that movie. I don't do horror movies well. I mean it wasn't a horror horror movie, but too close for my tastes.
