Whenever I see this thread title I think of Dolly's Brae, a loyalist song about slaughtering Catholics.
These?Agree with the above posts. I think a lot of this is just a reflection of the woeful geographical ignorance of a lot of North Americans, in particular. Also the diferences between the appearance of maps on a globe and flat maps.
However, I can't account for the lack of New Zealand on the map in `Dazed and Confused`!Likewise there's a woman on Facebook who grew up in Galveston inTexas who is adamant that Pelican Island, off the coast there is radically different than the one she knew as a child. (I've been trying to post the link for this but, for some reason it just doesn't take. Just Type in Mandela Effect, Galveston. New Pelican Island and that should take you there). Either she's totally barmy, or there's more to this than one might at fisrt suppose.
Wouldn't Russia now be at war with North Korea if the unthinkable happened?https://themoscowtimes.com/news/rus...from-online-maps-as-north-korea-fires-missile
And now the pacific Island of Sakhalin - near Japan, but owned by Russia - has disappeared from the Yandex map service (the Russian equivalent of google maps). This has been blamed on a `technical glitch`, but it does coincide with North Korea's testing of missiles in the region.
Make of that what you will.
I have an open mind towards alternate universe theories, but it seems that this alternate ending has never existed in this universe.Some believe that a home video release of this movie in New Zealand included an alternate ending. The alternate ending allegedly shows young Josh sitting in his classroom at school when he turns around to notice a young female classmate of whom who he recognizes as Susan- who went back to the fairground machine and wished that she was Josh's age. Some claim that this version was also seen on Latin American television. The Book of Lists, Canadian Edition, 2005 includes the following account: "During test screenings, an additional scene was included at the end, in which Josh is back at school, and a new girl named Susan arrives. The implication is that Susan used the same machine to make herself young to grow up with Josh. Due to audience feedback, this scene was cut, and so the movie ends when Josh goes back home."
you mean, apart from the aforementioned test reels ?Has anyone mentioned the alternate ending to Big (1988) yet?

A whole host of people - some with very detailed memories of the "original" version - shocked to notice South America seems to not be where it used to be!

so there was no inclusion in the book of lists canada ?There were none. That is part of the myth.
That's the weird part - the 'Book of Lists' did mention this 'alternate version, but they were only repeating the myth. There is, and never has been, an alternate version where the woman becomes Small, but lots of people remember it.so there was no inclusion in the book of lists canada ?
REBRACIFICATION! Molly has braces and all is well with the world! (Sigh!)
I feel so much better now.
So someone just made this, right?
REBRACIFICATION! Molly has braces and all is well with the world! (Sigh!)
Probably not! Quoting from the wikipedia page:its weaker writing to give her braces anyway, might as well have gone the whole hog and given her gigantism ... surely some 007 nerds can confirm from the book ?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_and_Moonraker
The only noticeable differences between the novelization and the screenplay for Moonraker is that there is no mention of Dolly, Jaws' girlfriend, and his characterization stays true to Wood's description as being a mute...
No, what is meant by this is that Dolly was in the film, and Fleming's original book. But she was dropped from the novelisation of the film (written by Christopher Wood, the screenwriter).so the character of dolly wasnt even in the movie until she was mandela-ed in recently ...
Yes, that's noted. But that doesn't make it feel any less correct / familiar.Don't get excited:I do need to make clear that this is just the work of some guy who has - openly - digitally manipulated the image to supply the missing braces.
You think? Seriously? Well, it seemed to be such an effective comedic trope to witness, that many of us remember it fondly, despite theits weaker writing to give her braces anyway
Well, it appears to, in this version of reality and/or in this edit version of the film.it strikes me that the shot showing her teeth isn't held long enough to sell the joke/message. It cuts away too quickly...
I understand your point, but, you know, that doesn't really work. Because Jaws just was exceedingly tall, and she was exceedingly-average in height for her sex/build. That's perilously-close to the reductionist perspective that the visual joke was, she was a woman, and he was a man. Yes, that one fell flat, too.the whole thing was a visual joke on their height difference.

Oh, I don't know. At the time, I thought she looked attractive.But back then, her glasses, her dress, her hair-do all were of the least fashionable variety. She looked terrible by the standards of the day. By 2017, all of these things have come back in and out of fashion, so it doesn't stand out as much.
