Scary THEN Sweet Is Disasterous
If I watch a scary movie with incredible actors that completely engross you in their character, it is just about impossible for me to transition those thoughts when I watch those actors in other movies.For example, in 2002 when Red Dragon came out I watched it and Ralph Fiennes played an incredible role. ...a role that did scare the bajeezus out of me, but that just insures his ability in acting even more!
Then one week later my sister gave me the movie Maid in Manhattan to watch. She said it was really good. Except the entire movie and especially in this scene I just keep waiting for him to set Jennifer Lopez on fire or something horrifying.
The same is true for Steve Buscemi. After seeing him in Con Air I can't hardly look at him without believing he is going to hurt somebody in the movie he is in. And I can never ever hear or sing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" again!
So my rule of thumb is to watch the sweet movies first then the scary so I can actually enjoy both.

Good point...but I'm not sure which is worse...this scenario, or seeing an actor in another movie and you spend the entire movie trying to remember what other movie you have seen them in. Either way you miss out on enjoying a movie.

I think most people think that way of Buscemi. He's pretty darn creepy, if you ask me. :-)
