"My first memory begins with popcorn. I'm sitting in the back seat of a station wagon and there, lodged between the passenger's seat and the middle armrest, is a kernel of popcorn. We're at the drive-in watching a movie and I'm four-years-old. I know this not because I remembered my age, but because the drive-in was showing The Last Starfighter. As far as memories go, outside of the fact that this is my first one, it's not particularly interesting. Everyone has a first memory, people remember seeing movies, the connection makes sense. However, it becomes curious when you fast-forward to today. I write about movies for a living. Specifically, on io9, I write about science fiction movies for a living. It seems very coincidental that my very first memory is watching a science fiction movie, something so intrinsically linked to the person I am today almost 40 years later. I guess movies have been my passion for as long as I can remember, literally…."

Interesting. I have a few faint memories from early childhood, but I couldn't begin to say which one was the earliest. |

Probably the Kennedy assassination for me. Or possibly a trip to a museum in Oakland. |

I threw my brother's teddy bear into a rain gutter.
So, perhaps. |

MacArthur's funeral, my mother said I asked if another President died, was only 3 when Kennedy was assassinated. |
