My brain is pretty much mush now...lol. There are certain movies that I have memorized, but even ones I used to watch all the time are jumbled in my head now. Me and some friends used to do Horror trivia and I used to be like a Friday The 13th encyclopedia. I used to be able to name every character and the actor's name, how they died, what movie they were in, etc. Now I'm doing good if I remember "The New Blood" was Part 7...lol.
I was really, really into horror movies growing up. I actually kept a notebook listing all the horror movies I'd seen. There's a few thousand in there and if I look at it now, I would bet I wouldn't remember 75% of them.
If I sit down and start watching a movie that I know I've seen before I'll usually go "oh yeah" I remember what basically happens, but I can't remember all the little details anymore.
I know I've seen each movie in all the big franchise movies like F13, Nightmare, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, etc literally 50-100 times each depending on the part, but I've only seen 1 or 2 films from any of those franchises in the last couple years and while I can remember the main ideas, I can't remember each death scene anymore.
When I was 18 yeah...but now in my 30's...no...lol. I have the utmost respect for the guys and gals on this board who can remember specific details from a lot of old or obscure movies they've only seen once or twice, because I'm doing good to remember details from the ones I watched 50 times growing up let alone a movie I saw once or twice years ago.
