Man Without A Body would like to congratulate whoever put up the Tom Cruise quote here, because it works on two levels. Made Of Win, say I!
Randallw: Having certain problems I'm not certain what sort of win it might have. Myself personally, I would dearly like to voice, well no not voice....act out my views on the subject with Mr Cruise. But then the topic of discussion and my excuse are the same thing. On a related note, apologies if my edit is too much. I put it under aspergers. Just one of my...problems.
The Bad Wolf: Well why didn't you put it on Made Of Win i want my 3rd mention god damn it.

Fuzzy Wulfe: Unless I was oblivious, Xavier didn't know Emma was helping Scott with anything. I remember it being that he opened up to her as a friend and someone that could understand what he was going through, and she just used that opening to seduce him. I don't want to edit the entry since I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong.

Happy Corner: I removed the Tom Cruise quote, as it doesn't fit. This trope is about how Hollywood gets psychology wrong, but even the average Hollywood writer gets light years more right about the subject than Tom Cruise and other Scientology cultists. I NEVER thought I'd be defending Hollywood writers, but yeah, I don't think the comparison is fair to them.
The Bad Wolf: I'm going to put it back because i think it really does fit, well it does actually fit in a strictly factual sense but it's about psych, involves Hollywood and is funnier then nothing. Happy Corner, if you really want it off, find a new quote.

Yoshi348: How in the world did Jedi Mind Trick get on this list? Add it back if you can justify it, but it doesn't have anything to do with psych at all, especially in the vast majority of examples where it's explicitly magical and/or phlebotinum.
Twin Bird: Um...is that really Fan Wank? Whether he believes in Jungian shadows or not, he's definitely just trying to throw Rachel off-track.
Twin Bird: I don't care what a schoolteacher's observations tell him, Asperger's is considered a form of autism.
