Something about being projected on a 70 foot screen makes you more attractive and appealing to the opposite sex, which is pretty scary.

Meaning of the quote

When you see someone on a big movie screen, they can seem much more good-looking and interesting than they do in real life. This can be a little scary, because it makes people think the actor is way more attractive than they really are. So even though being on a huge screen might make someone seem really appealing, it's important to remember that they are just a normal person in real life.
