Shared false memories are often perpetuated when one person's false memory, misquote, joke or inaccurate reference makes it into pop culture where it is seen by millions.
SHATNER, SALLY FIELD & HANNIBAL Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura calling a monacled man the Monopoly guy, or doing Shatner from The Twilight Zone, "There's... someone on the wing! Some... THING!" or imitating Sally Field in The Mask and Hannibal Lecter in The Cable Guy: these were comedic impressions, not quotes.
TANK MAN & THE LINDBERGH BABY I was recently watching episodes of The West Wing which perpetuated 2 more common MEs. Richard Schiff's character mentions people watching TV and seeing a man get run over by a tank - a reference to Tiananmen square. A woman sarcastically confesses to a crime, adding that if you search her house, you'll find the Lindbergh baby. People watching could easily remember these events incorrectly.
GHOST POTTERY Patrick Swayze was still alive during the pottery scene. Family Guy spoofed this scene with Swayze's character as a ghost, and you have probably seen similar spoofs, leading to the false memory that he was a ghost in that scene. YOU WANT SOME CORNBREAD, MR. JINGLES? Michael Clarke Duncan's character rarely interacted with Mr. Jingles and never fed him cornbread. That was a different inmate. The Simpsons spoofed this, with MCD saying "You want some cornbread, Mr. Jingles?" which is how many people remember the movie. SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR'S DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE In I Know What You Did Last Summer, SMG witnesses a murder while performing on stage, to a stunned audience who remain silent. Some people remember the audience erupting in applause. That was a parody scene in Scary Movie.
You may have seen a different version of a popular movie as a child.
PHILOSOPHER'S STONE There are 2 versions of the first Harry Potter movie. The title macguffin is called the Sorcerer's Stone in American releases, the Philosopher's Stone in UK and Canada.
AUSTRALIAN PETER PAN If you remember Peter Pan having a British accent, Tinkerbell saving him from a poisoned cake, and Smee going home to his mother at the end, the you saw an Australian version not made by Disney. This one MESSED with my head after watching the Disney version as an adult.
CALIGULA There are MANY different edits of this film based on it's country and time of release and censorship laws. Some versions include hard-core pornographic scenes which were cut in other versions. Some versions have the order of scenes mixed up. You could watch 2 versions edited so differently that the plot is not even the same. I have seen 2: one that starts with Caligula in bed with his sister, the other that starts with a hunting scene intended to come later.
BRIAN COX AS HANNIBAL LECTER? You may have seen either or both Manhunter and Red Dragon - 2 adaptations of the same novel. Manhunter came out before Silence of the Lambs and featured Brian Cox. Red Dragon was made later as a prequel featuring Anthony Hopkins. There could be many instances of people confusing originals and remakes.
If you tend to watch DVD special features, you may remember deleted or alternate scenes more vividly than the actual movie.
DON'T DROP THAT NECKLACE, ROSE! Yes, there was an alternate ending of Titanic in which Bill Paxton confronted Old Rose on the back of the ship, but it completely messed with the flow and the audience's catharsis. Bravo to James Cameron for chosing the better ending. One of my Favorite movies.
IT'S THE DIRTIEST JOKES THAT STAY WITH YOU Years after watching Team America: World Police on DVD, the only 2 scenes I remembered were a disgustingly graphic scat sex scene between two marionettes, and a scene of man-on-man oral sex that ended with the superior saying it would be hard to make his subordinate into the perfect soldier... because he's gay now. I was dismayed when I watched it a second time and both these scenes were absent. Turns out, years ago, I watched the deleted scenes in the DVD special features.
Historical films VS reenactments
HOUSTON, WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM This is the line as it was actually spoken in real life and, subsequently, in several dramatic reenactments. In the popular movie, Tom Hanks says "Houston, we HAVE a problem."
THAT'S NOT HOW THEY KILLED BIN LADEN! Shortly after it happened, you may have watched one of several dramatic reenactments of the raid, including an animated recreation of the actual helmet cam footage, which differed drastically from how it was portrayed in Zero Dark Thirty. Aside from the production quality, the reenactments were far more enthralling.
FALSE TRAILERS Yes, sometimes a movie trailer is made using whatever footage is available, before the final cut of the film is finished. Therefore, it is not uncommon for scenes from the trailer to be missing from the movie.
WATCH OUT FOR THAT TIE FIGHTER! That's right, Jyn never comes face-to-face with a TIE fighter in Rogue One, despite it being one of the most exciting shots from the trailer.
LIVE. DIE. REPEAT. Not the title of the movie. It was called Edge of Tomorrow, though you wouldn't know it from the constant repetition of the tag line in the trailer and minimal use of the actual title. Most DVD/Blu-ray releases have this tag line prominently on the cover art, so viewers know what movie it is.
SOUNDS LIKE A SEXY HAMBURGER! Seth Rogen never says this in Superbad, in reference to the fake name McLovin, but it is one of the most memorable lines from the time of the film's release.
False memories sometimes form from combining several related ones.
TINKERBELL DOTS THE I No, she doesn't. But you've seen her flitting across the screen and flicking a wand to make words appear or the castle disappear in several different title sequences. See the Disney home video one, for example.
I SEE WHITE PEOPLE! No, the line spoofing The Sixth Sense was not spoken in Scary Movie, but you DID hear it the same year. At the 2000 Oscars, host Billy Crystal did a bit where he had the camera zoom up on celebrities in the audience and he said what they were thinking in that moment. He spoke this line when the camera was zoomed in on Michael Clarke Duncan, to much laughter.
SINBAD THE... SUPERVILLAIN? Sinbad did not play a genie called Shazaam, but in 1996, the same year Shaq played Kazaam, Sinbad played a mischievous character in a ridiculous costume as the main antagonist in the Christmas film Jingle All the Way. You may have combined these 2 images in your memory.
THAT DARN CORNUCOPIA No, it wasn't part of the Fruit of the Loom logo, but it was a frequently reproduced image every kid saw in school when they learned about Thanksgiving. The 2 images were so similar that many teachers made the assumption they were the same, telling kids they may have seen it on their underwear. In fact, the cornucopia image was so common, it seems to have even been used on some knock-off brands of socks and underwear, making this MA totally understandable.
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL... The evil queen never said it when you were a kid, but Lord Farquad did in Shrek when you were a bit older, which probably misinformed your memory of the original line.
IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER... Does the song make you think of the movie Rocky? It shouldn't. It was never used in the original film, only the sequels. Although Rocky's original theme music is just as iconic.
OH, NO! NOT PLASTIC SHEETS! There were none on the floor for Tommy's hit in Goodfellas, but you may be thinking of a similar scene in Lethal Weapon 2.
IS LIBERTY ISLAND A THING? Yes, it always was. You always associated it with the immigrants who came over through Ellis Island when you learned about them in school. Your teachers may not have bothered telling you the name of the island that houses the statue and you assumed it was the same. And here's something else to think about: Liberty Island is located in the waters of New Jersey, not New York.
THAT'S THE WRONG ACTOR! Meg Ryan was not Maverick's love iterest in Top Gun; she was Goose's wife. Some people made that mistake as Ryan soon became a household name and was mentioned in a lot of the film's marketing, especially for the home video release. Ben Affleck was not in Saving Private Ryan, but you have seen him collaborate with Matt Damon many times, and there was an actor named Edward Burns who bares a bit of a resemblance to him. I hope not many of you have made this mistake, but some people remember Angelina Jolie in the original Mission Impossible. It was an actress named Emanuelle Beart... thank God, since she was playing the wife of Jon Voight - Jolie's father. And of course, anyone who watched The X-Files as a kid might remember some episodes with David Duchovney as Agent Mulder, when it was really his replacement, Robert Patrick as Agent Doggett.
Sometimes, a movie or show doesn't go the way you were expecting, or you think "wouldn't this have been better" and your mind dwells on your own version more than on how it actually happened, then, years later, you only remember your version. In some cases, so many people were thinking the same thing, that when you mention your ending later, others say "Oh, yeah! That was great!"
DOLLY'S BRACES She never had any. But she did have pigtails which, like braces, are often associated with youth and feminine cuteness. Add to that the fact that Jaws had metal teeth and you were rooting for them to get together, and it would have given them some great common ground. So when she gave that slow, shy smile at the end, you saw what you wanted to see.
THEY WERE DEAD THE WHOLE TIME! That's not how Lost ended. Whine all you want, or just go and watch it again and pay attention. It was such a popular theory that people were simply expecting it. The popularity of the theory inspired the producers to give us a glimpse into the afterlife in the last season, but by the end, it was made very clear that everything that happened on the island really happened. Christian might as well have been looking directly into the camera when he spelled it out for his son. But many of you couldn't accept that your theory was wrong. If you watched the Jimmy Kimmel Live special that immediately followed the finale, you saw that even Jimmy subscribed to this theory and refused to let it go. It was a classy move for the cast to refrain from berating him about it on his own show.
AVE SOL INVICTUS! The Sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star, which is why it has always been drawn yellow. Since you were a kid, you drew the Sun with a yellow crayon. When you were older, you learned that sunlight is white light, which is composed of every color in the spectrum. White light surrounds us all the time, but we don't see it. We only see the colors that are reflected off surfaces based on their material composition. The Sun EMITS white light, but it APPEARS yellow, or orange-yellow.
That's all I've got for now. I hope I've given you lots to think about and would love to hear your responses!

So my boyfriend Jim (16M) and I (16F) have been having a disagreement recently about our upcoming halloween costume. I love Halloween and have dressed up every year, even when my friends thought it was lame. I have always wanted to do a couples costume but I have never gotten the chance to until this year. Last year, Jim had planned to go as the two leads from ‘Brokeback Mountain’ with his friend Robby (16M). However, he had to go to visit family down the country and was unable to do this. We have been dating for a few months and early enough into the relationship, we were discussing our Halloween costume and he mentioned that Robby wants to go as Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar this year, since they couldn’t last year. I laughed it off because I assumed that, from his tone, he wasn’t serious. A few months later the subject was brought back up and suddenly it was a very serious plan and the cowboy hats had been bought since last year. I wasn’t all too pleased to hear about this because I had gotten excited about having a ‘couple’s costume’ this year, as it’s my first Halloween in a relationship. As well as this, my close friends are all in relationships too and are doing cute costumes with their boyfriends, so I would be on my own in that regard. I’m trying to be patient because at the end of the day, it is ultimately Jim’s decision but I feel like he’s not taking into consideration that I have wanted this for so long and it probably doesn’t mean too much to Robby at all. AITA?
Edit : before the truck load of keyboard warriors, this plan between my boyfriend and his friend was somewhat of a ‘joke’. They didn’t quite mean it when they had the opportunity to do it but it’s suddenly an issue when I want to do a costume with Jim. I’ve also made the suggestion of going as the wife from the film, which was not received well. Finally, of course I’m envious of my friends, who wouldn’t be? I’m just a girl, let me live!

I’ve got a bunch of extra parts of this line and a few Marvel Legends pieces. I’m wanting to make a figure of Jim Henson, to go with my Diamond Select Muppet toys.
Marvel Legends and Gi Joe Classified are roughly in the same scale for a human compared to the muppets.
I have an Everett K Ross (ML) or Agent Jimmy Woo (ML) for the body. I can’t figure out what to use for the head. Maybe modify a AEW Daniel Bryanson head and use Metal Head’s extra hair? Maybe find an extra Rock N Roll and use that head?
Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks.

My wife told me something today that made me laugh, I wanted to share it with you and see what silly stories y'all have about your significant others.
My wife says that the Gelflings from dark crystal are way creepier than the Skeksis.
As an unrepentant Jim Henson fan I love all types of puppets but Gelflings are nowhere on my "Top Creepy Jim Henson Puppets" list 😂 She is a "most puppets are creepy" person but is okay with classic Muppets and Sesame Street monsters. Sometimes opposites really do attract.
Please share your own or your partners silly hot takes and bad opinions. Keep it light please!

Wikipedia / IMDb / Official Trailer / Disney+ ((we’re switching off, for now - catch you later Disney+… probably?))
Who influenced you? Now, I’m not talking encouraged (that’s different), I’m talking about someone you looked to and thought, “That dude’s got their hat on straight, I’d like to be like them!” ((Keeping in mind, “dude” is a unisex word in this house)). For myself, I don’t know why, but I’ve been naturally resistant to being influenced. I don’t cotton to the way it feels - thoughts/sounds/words/music/colors (doesn’t matter) which aren’t mine, being pushed on me. Bleck!
If you are you, then influence is the rain that makes your hair and clothes wet. I was born with an umbrella in my hand…
From IMDb: This Documentary will feature interviews of fans of Jim Henson’s work, interspersed with footage from Jim Henson's works, including Wilkins and Wontkins Commercials that were previously lost.
((What a terrible description - in fact, I’ve noticed IMDb’s descriptions have all been kind of crap lately, especially with new productions - there’s an economy of words, descriptions in recession. I might need to rethink my formula.))
… but then there are times, umbrella or no, that rain splashes onto your pants, soaks through shoes, or some other force - like a mischievous wind - blows a little precipitation into your face and that influence changes your thinking - your perceptions - and you internalize the influence. ((Precipitation perception… see what I did there?))
Jim Henson was a rare, exceptional person - well, that goes without saying - I’m saying he’s rare and exceptional for a different reason - I knew his name, even when I was quite small. That’s maybe more significant than it sounds, you don’t understand, I’m terrible with names.
I forgot Mrs. Lady Zedd’s middle name (that was a fun argument), hell - I forgot my grandmothers name (you mean her name isn’t Grandma?). I have to make up games to remember people’s monikers or they slip away… Just ask Jen(n) not Jenny or William the 3rd or that lady whose middle name is Ann(e) ((looks around innocently)) - the parenthesis means don’t forget the introverted letter that’s just silently hanging out, doesn’t make a sound.
If I’ve bothered to learn your name, you’re important to me. That’s all I’m saying. Jim Henson was known to me and his antics, whether on Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, or any of his movies - they resonated. Walt Disney was a man I had a soft spot for, Jim Henson was a man I felt admiration and love for.
His influence? Henson taught me that it’s ok to be vulnerable through being “silly” - and if you’ve read more than 2 of my write ups, you know silly is my mainstay, my go to, my stock and trade - my style. As an awkward child, I appreciated his take on what it was to be human, paradoxically by demonstrating those egalitarian qualities and ideals through puppets.
Mrs. Lady Zedd felt he was a very interesting man. A complex figure, quiet and deeply feeling person who was largely responsible for much of her childhood favorites. We’re 4 years apart and I have always found it interesting we’re both fans of Jim Henson but our angles of interest are different. She’s very Fraggle Rock, Emmet Otter / I’m very Muppet Show and movies.
If there’s something that I truly love it’s how we both shared our love of Jim Henson’s creations with our kidlet, Little Miss Zedd. My word, she got the absolute best of both worlds and we added new productions neither MLZ or I had experienced like The Storyteller - yes, Little Miss got the full Jim Henson Experience.
This documentary, directed by Ron Howard, ran a bit slow in spots, certainly is sad (I’m the same age now that he was when he passed), and maybe didn’t necessarily tell the whole story (as you’d likely expect from Disney) but the mix of interviews, family films, experimental art, and “a look back” view certainly gave us a very good feel of the man we call Henson and the world of creatures he created.
Thanks for teaching me it was ok to be silly, Jim (whichever dimension you slipped off to)… MLZ says she’d just want to tell him - thank you, just thank you for so much.
Hi-de-ho there and movie on. :]

What the question asks. Been keen on getting Studio, and I'm curious how well the magic mask function would work on animation?
Could you easily get a mask of a character from The Lion King from a scene? How about CGI animation, like Nick Wilde from Zootopia? Or how about Jim Henson type characters, like Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House?
Can it handle all of those well? Or does it only work well for humans and various real life objects?
