Sometimes I'll see a movie that has a similar line of dialog, scenario, or conversation that is very similar to one that I've had in my own writing. It's a very conflicting feeling. On one hand it makes me feel validated. Like my idea was good because someone else thought it, too. On the other hand, it makes me angry that someone else thought it, too.
It's happened more than once. In all honesty, I'd rather it not happen. I like feeling I'm original more so than feeling validated.
(Note: Written after seeing The Rite in theaters and hearing a conversation onscreen similar to something from my own writing.)
