Is there a word for when you’re watching a movie and you see one of your own household items in the movie? eg, “We had that wallpaper” or “That’s my coffee mug” #writing community #movienight

@StephenKing @linwood_barclay Johnny Dangerously. I don’t generally have a problem with Michael Keaton, but this was terrible.

This book is about asking the right questions and I will never stop talking about how great and useful it is. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amreading
