The Mandela Effect and Moonraker

Who remembers Jaw's girlfriend in Moonraker having braces? Thousands of fans do, even though the producer/script and the actress say she didn't wear any, plus there is no visual evidence.

Nah... she absolutely 100% had braces in original release. Every single movie review done for the films release that mentions her also mentions the braces. Friends always talked about "braces girl".

her braces were shopped out in the "original 35mm print"

I don't know how we've gone to "gaslighting people about mediocre Bond movies" but here we fucking are

Everyone remembers it, but no one has any actual pics. The original 35mm print, VHS (plus recordings off TV broadcasts), LaserDisc, DVD, Blu-Ray......nada. The actress says she never wore any braces.

She didn't have braces?

Or maybe she did and not in every scene?

Just google it. Zero evidence of any braces.

Here's the thing. Our brains constantly play tricks on us. I'm sure that everyone does remember her having braces... because for whatever reason that's what their brains were feeding them. Some combination of the shit in Jaws' mouth, combined with her looking like a young girl who would have braces. Who knows.

When I was a kid I had a business card that, and this is gonna sound weird, a guy in a gas station in New Mexico gave to my dad on a trip (gas station dude was apparently so taken by this that he had a bunch made to hand out). The idea was to count the vowels on the card. So you counted, and got 12 or whatever. Nope. The actual answer was something like 22. And everyone would say "No I just counted. It's 12." But when they would count again with the number 22 in their heads.... they would get 22. It was a real mind fuck, that has nothing to do with this topic other than that our brains process information pretty weirdly.

The one I will die on is Meadow walking in the door of the diner in the final scene of The Sopranos. Apparently it didn't happen, but me and a shitload of other people remember it happening.

I think you see her coming into Holsten's from the outside, but then (interior shot) you see the door, the bell rings (Tony's POV) blackout.

 

Tony dies.

Mandela?  Is that the one where people remembered being at his funeral but he was still alive?

No, they remember him dying in prison in the 80's, which never happened.

Han shot first.

Not the Mandela Effect because it actually happened and we have evidence.

That's an odd name for this effect which seems to be about people being mistaken about a minor detail (Mirror mirror on the wall).  That would have precluded his tenure as President of South Africa, which is why he is famous.

uh, how old are you? 

He is famous for being a radical anti-apartheid activist/leader who was imprisoned for almost 30 years.

My only personal experience with this is that I have a memory of John Larroquette dying. Like I remember reading about it at my desk at work. Only problem is that he isn't dead. Not sure if it was a dream or what, but I was pretty confused a few years ago when he had some new project come out. "Was this made before he died? Wait what do you mean he's not dead?"

Harry Anderson died in 2018, maybe that is the day you are remembering?

Happened to me too...could have sworn he had passed away.

 

Guess I mixed him up with Phil Hartman for some reason.
