e:  I think the miss-quoted movie line phenomenon is not entirely from people not remembering the lines correctly but because the original lines didn't sound right to them so they changed what they said to sound better. I can remember doing that with a line from Men in Black or Space Jam or something like that.

RandomFerret posted:Yes obviously most of these are bullshit, but the fact that she had braces was the whole point of that scene in Moonraker. That's what they bonded over! He smiles at her and the sun glints off his metal teeth, then she smiles back and the sun glints off her braces. What the gently caress is this poo poo: Unless they were edited out completely, or she has them removed in the movie, then she never had braces. It's likely that the humour in them bonding is because neither of them spoke, but he was very large and scary while she was very small and non-threatening, and it's just a funny change of pace to suddenly see the main henchman being so romantically taken by a tiny woman. In other words: projecthalaxy posted:I love the amount of galaxy brain required to decide that its utterly impossible you're misremembering something amd much more reasonable to believe that universes are collapsing around you conveniently in such a way as to justify any mistakes you make. http://www.debunkingmandelaeffects.com/dolly-has-braces/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iP2lTkUvEw

ZDar Fan posted:I believe that those scenes were filmed as the ending for the first movie, but they chose to end on the tournament and then use that footage as a cold open for the sequel. Nah it was a DVD copy I got for five bucks at Wal-Mart, to coincide with the newer one that had Will Smith's kid which had just come out. I do feel like I saw a version of Austin Powers (the first one) on TV where he had a pocketwatch that was important for a scene but apparently no version has that. Antivehicular posted:Of the really common ME/retconned beliefs, this one is the one I'm most perplexed by. Most of them are easily explained with "you don't remember media from your early childhood as well as you think you do" (Berenstain Bears, Pikachu's markings, something about C3P0?) or "you never knew that much about this in the first place and internalized some incorrect ideas" (placement of organs in the human body, when Nelson Mandela died, most history/geography ones), but where the gently caress are these people getting their ideas about the sun? Did they internalize the idea of a warm yellow cartoon sun? Is it changes in air quality? What the hell? Pikachu did change, but he never had the stupid black tail people think existed (which clashes stylistically to the point where only a child would think it looks good). He had scruffier fur, pure yellow tail, pale belly, and was a lot thicker:  This is over the course of four years. Pikachu has mostly settled into that last design, updated around 2000. Fat Pikachu is now one of his forms in the game. The reason Pikachu probably changed so much is because he was never designed as the mascot; that was, in fact, Clefairy.

Before the Anime, Bulbasaur was generally considered the main character's starter, and Charizard the rival's. Eevee and Pikachu were designed by the same person, though. edit: woops no, that's Pikachu and Vaporeon who came from Atsuko Nishida.

Tiggum posted:I was very confused by that hypnotism scene at the time because Austin asks Slater to bring him some "sherbet" and the guard returns with a giant tub of something that is clearly not sherbet. Then when I learned that "sherbet" means "sorbet" in America it instantly struck me that Austin is supposed o be English and therefore should have said "sorbet" if he wanted to sorbet and should have been just as confused as I was when he received a big tub of it instead of the sherbet he asked for. Huh. I don't have strong memories of that scene and probably have only seen it twice since its release but as soon as you described it, I immediately remembered my confusion at that scene.

I decided to test and see if my brain was stupid. One of my favorite 70s shows was Soap. In one episode, Elaine explains why she is rude and obnoxious to everyone. I remembered her telling Danny a family member had been killed in an accident and father had said to her, "Why wasn't it you?" Before I rewatched the episode, I would have bet real money it was her mother and they had been in the accident together. Turns out it was her older sister who died, but not with her or her mother.

That seems really bloody strange to me, particularly as the whole steamroller segue into the henchman's family is probably one the most memorable gags in the film.

Having an almost eidetic recall of certain things, I found myself at odds with my wife over a Douglas Adams quote once: “The Rory Award for the most gratuitous use of the word ‘gently caress’ in a serious screenplay”. She insisted the word was ‘Belgium’, not ‘gently caress’, and we found that our respective copies of the book in question proved us both right. It transpired that the US version had been rendered more child friendly by this substitution (although I didn’t check if any other uses of ‘gently caress’ had been removed), and that apparently ‘Belgium’ is now preferred on both sides of the pond.

I had a really weird one pop up - and it’s strange because I’m generally really good at remembering which people are in movies. I saw “Up” about a year after it came out - but beyond the depressing first part, I barely remembered anything about it. Not a knock on the movie, I must have just been preoccupied at the time. One detail I did remember though, was that “Dug”, the talking dog character, was voiced by Seth Rogen. Just recently, I put this movie on for my kids, and made a comment to my wife about Rogen being in it. She told me he wasn’t, and after confirming that Dug was voiced by Bob Peterson, I assumed the voice must just sound a lot like Seth Rogen. Then Dug shows up - and doesn’t sound like him, like at all. I thought Rogen must have been in some other animated film around the same time - but nope, he’s only ever been in one animated film, Sausage Party, and that came out 7 years after Up. So I have no clue how I came up with that idea.

I remember there was a r/glitchinthematrix post where the title was "I was in a time skip" and he went on to swear that an hour passed by in an instant without any possible explanation. He was awake, sober, and lucid. It took him a while to realize that it was daylight savings time.

DrBouvenstein posted:Related to movies, I've read several posts across forums in the earlier days off the internet (late 90s-early 2000s) where several people all claimed they remembered a scene in the theatrical release of Star Wars where Luke and Biggs were on Tatooine together. There was a Star Wars Storybook from '78 that featured photos from the film. It included some shots that had Biggs on Tatooine. My first exposure to the film was through the toys and the storybook. I remember being confused as a child when I saw Star Wars on HBO (early/mid 80s) and the Biggs scene wasn't there. That's probably where people are getting that memory from. It's about 3 minutes in on this video: https://youtu.be/8E-TC0NrPtI

Finally reading through this thread, and I know I'm a month late, but:AceOfFlames posted:Question: What is Bart's most famous quote from the Simpsons episode "Das Bus"? In this clip, Bart says "contrass". Eliding the "t" like that ("contras(t)s") is common in American dialects, and "contrasts" is clearly what's intended. I'm not sure how you're hearing an earlier "s" in that word; I've listened to it three times and couldn't find it. My favorite personal example is actually an inversion: When I was a child, I had a vivid dream about going to the zoo with my grandparents and getting to ride one of the camels. The dream stuck with me for years and years, and one day, talking with my mother, I brought it up - and she pulled out a photo album where there was a photograph of me, as a child, riding a camel at the zoo, with my grandparents alongside. I have no idea why I'd decided it was a dream - maybe at some point in the interim I'd filed it away as being too absurd to have actually happened.

I used to have a recurring nightmare. I'm in an incredibly bright room, I can't move, and I'm not alone There's a monster here. A monster with huge, jagged teeth. All of it is jagged, actually. It looks like nothing I've ever seen, and it's coming towards me. I try to get away but I can't, and its huge face is getting closer and closer. Then it stops inches from my face, and backs away. Then it comes at me again, stops, and backs away. This seems to go on for hours. I had this nightmare for decades, and I always thought it was something invented by my subconscious until I saw photos of my family's trip to Lego Land when I was 11 months old. They strapped me into a stroller and parked it in front of a big motorized lego rocking horse.

I guess this is somewhat related, but my father was absolutely convinced that Ghostbusters completely bombed when it first came out and it didn't get popular until years later on home video. Like this was a thing he was adamant about for decades, it came up bizarrely often, and he would flip the gently caress out if you tried to show him something that stated it was the second-highest grossing movie of 1984.

Those were HUGE at the time and home video wasn’t yet a thing, so once it was out of the theater those were versions of the story people had access too. Hmm, thinking about this that scene may have been in the radio play too... Speaking of, the words "ewok" or "sith" is not spoken in the original trilogy.

https://twitter.com/merrittk/status/1382386648546164737 What the gently caress, the whole point of that scene is that he finds a way to reconnect with her by ghostily guiding her hands from beyond the grave, while simultaneously demonstrating his newfound mastery of ghost telekinesis. If he is alive, the scene serves no narrative purpose. I even remember the cinematography: She is doing pottery alone, but then the camera cuts and we see ghost Swayze behind her, his ghostly hands on hers. While the music plays, the camera cuts back and forth between her alone and Swayze guiding her, and it is implied that she senses his presence.

My sister and I just learned Wayne Gretzky never played for the Red Wings. I have emphatically never been a sports guy, but I’ve lived in Red Wings country for all 36 years of my life (30 for her). I’m not confusing hum with Yzerman, I thought they were both on the team at different points. I just looked up the box art for the Nintendo 64 classic Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey ‘98, which I played at a sleepover or two trying to cause in-game player fights, and that is not what I remember. I wondered if this was a thing, and yeah, at least one Redditor had this revelation too.
