Item 2 is particularly interesting. I was, and still am, quite sensitive to things in movies that struck me as scary (one glimpse of Jabba the Hutt and I had to be carried screaming from the theater), so who knows?

And yes, I know better than to try to "recover" memories of childhood. My only regret there is not having more memories of my grandmother, who died when I was 11. Beyond that, I don't think I'm missing much.
