Who's the ding dong?
Twenty-seven seconds into the main title from the movie Spacecamp there are two chimes that precisely emulate the two-tone doorbell at my in-laws house. Every time the song comes on, I look up — as if to answer the door. When I'm really not paying attention, I tense up, waiting for Mollie's shrill barking to pierce my skull. Why do I do this? It's not even my doorbell.
