dunno what variation of the Mandella Effect this is, but I had the stomach-bursting scene from ALIEN described to me so many times as a kid (by the one kid at school who had seen it), that when I think of that scene in my head now, I think of it how my brain originally imagined it, rather than the actual scene from the film

In other words, scenes in movies, which you either don't remember right or which weren't there to begin with.

My ME moment is from SOLDIER BLUE.

I haven't seen it since 1983 but I seem to remember a scene with Candice Bergen sitting holding a child and, when she lets the child go, the child's guts spill out.😳

I hope that was me misremembering a scene 😳😳😳

I found it online at ok.ru.

Candice is holding a dead child, the ground is scattered with corpses, and Peter Strauss throws up on camera.

I did misremember the scene.

The "Shazaam" Mandela effect is a prominent false memory where many people vividly recall 1990s comedian Sinbad playing a genie in a movie named Shazaam. This film does not exist. The memory is a confusion with the real 1996 film Kazaam, starring Shaquille O'Neal as a genie, or a costume Sinbad wore during a Sinbad the Sailor marathon.

Its interesting how one person's claim (fabricated, or not) can open a social media avalance of a false memory for thousands. Typically, they created fake Shazaam VHS tapes, adding fuel to the confusion.

Mandela Effect? Not a movie scene, but... All week at work, I had this cheesy, dramatic 1970s song playing in my head called "Dear Michael" by Michael Jackson. I honestly thought I'd made it up. It felt like the perfect "lost" MJ track. After a few days, I convinced myself the idea was too good to be true. I finally looked up his early solo work yesterday and, sure enough, there it was on his 1975 album. I haven't heard that song in ages, but my brain apparently held onto it all this time!

Ghostbusters II. 

Me and a TON of other people SWEAR that at the very end of the movie, it shows Slimer flying out of the Statue of Liberty and right at the screen. 

Nobody is able to find the footage of this anywhere. 

HOWEVER.... the scene is show ... in a coloring book adaption.  So it had to have existed in some format.  Right?

I saw GHOSTBUSTERS 2 in the theater way back when. Never saw that ending.

Slimer does have his / its own credit at the end of this: maybe they're confusing that with the way the original GHOSTBUSTERS ends? 🤔

I'll probably get s**t for this but Steve Perry, former vocalist of Journey. I honestly don't see why people love his vocals, I just find them grating. This is not me being a metal head either, I do listen to other music genres as well. I just cannot stand his vocals.

I'm not a huge fan. I like a few songs.

Couldn't sit there for hours though to listen

just watched a vid by a comedian called Jim Breuer. apparently he's big stuff? he's like someone's mentally slow uncle gatecrashing a barbequeue.

He's not huge, but he's known from Saturday Night Live in the late 90s, same time as Will Ferrel. I neither liked nor disliked him. He had a stoner persona (when he was younger, at least, maybe now he's a slow uncle).

Golgatha (1935) - Yet another movie about Christ's crucifixion and resurrection (sorry for the spoiler). This one is pretty darn straightforward, if not as colorful as "The Sign of the Cross" or something. It includes Jesus standing before Herod from the Gospel of Luke (which most movies don't have), and also shows him before the Sanhedrin and Pilate, so a lot of standing going on. The main way it distinguishes itself is how it goes into detail about, say, the circumstances around the resurrection with the guards and Joseph of Arimathea and so forth. The writer really knows the New Testament and has something they want to say about the whole thing.

It certainly succeeds on an academic level, but there were some powerful cinematic moments as well. That said, you could also see it as just another retelling of a familiar story. Also, when Judas betrays Jesus they do a gratuitous profile of his huge nose, which other film makers have done. They were ALL Jewish, buddy. I appreciated the lack of modernity and the sobriety of the presentation. Ultimately though, it's probably not of much interest to anyone who's not a huge bible geek like myself.

4.5 /5 It would have needed to really bring something new and crazy or have more intense performances to get a 5, but it's pretty top tier.
