Among other things, there’s the ability to find just about any mangled quote that’s half-stuck in my head. Watching the lunar eclipse tonight, I kept trying to recall that great moment from The Invisible Man, when Claude Rains busts it one night in the countryside. A little Googling got me the exact quotation, which I’ve always liked:
“Even the moon is scared of me! Scared to death!”
Of course, that also gets me thinking about Ed Begley, Jr.’s parody of Rains in Amazon Women on the Moon, which is probably another way the Internet and I seem to parallel each other…
