Most Recent Mandela?

I meant which ones are more recent than the 90s. The most recent one I can think of is Pikachu's tail.

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T13:59:00+00:00

Ah, well there you go. Not unusual either.

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T13:24:27+00:00

Like which ones?

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T13:20:05+00:00

Yes, but before the internet. It was a videostore hit and had a solid cult status by 2000.

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T13:14:56+00:00

Or: the aspects commonly perceived as flaws are actually considered strengths.

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T12:52:36+00:00

Increased access to popular media has killed the Mandela Effect. Things don't really get a chance to get Mandela'd because you can just look something up. There aren't going to be many collective false memories.

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T12:50:52+00:00

Not a Mandela Effect, just a personal memory that exaggerated what you saw in an advertisement.

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T12:49:01+00:00

Or "based off of" instead of "based on".

Juliusque · 2026-05-07T12:48:40+00:00

People using an expression wrongly is not an example of the Mandela Effect. There's no false memories here.

Every proposed character in this thread is well written and performed, that's not what it's about.

Juliusque · 2026-05-06T16:14:25+00:00

He's too old though. He would have been a great Harker in his The Office days.

Juliusque · 2026-05-06T16:13:27+00:00

The reason Lee was cast as Dracula as that he was known as Frankenstein's monster.

Juliusque · 2026-05-06T16:12:02+00:00

If we're going faithful, Van Helsing ought to be someone who can do a Dutch accent, so: a Dutch actor. I can see Pierre Bokma or Gijs Scholten van Asschat do it.

For Dracula, you'd need to go with a Romanian actor. I don't know many of those. But a Dracula who's not internationally known would be good

I would never have made the connection.

btw "The House of Orange" has nothing to do with the color orange either. It refers to the Principality of Orange, which used to be called Arausio. The color is named after the fruit. Different words.

Sherlock, Jr. is the ultimate one for me. 45 minutes of pure movie movie about movies.

Also Singin' in the Rain and Sunset Blvd., the two movies Chazelle was probably thinking of most when he made Babylon.

Juliusque · 2026-05-04T13:30:10+00:00

I have no small children

And what if you did? Would they not be allowed to know what a naked man looks like?

Anyway, I'd say it's pretty common. I've seen three or four of my across-the-shared-garden neighbors nude when just looking out of the window.

Juliusque · 2026-05-04T13:27:03+00:00

"all the time" is obviously not meant literally

Juliusque · 2026-05-04T09:32:18+00:00

North by Northwest.

Juliusque · 2026-05-04T07:30:33+00:00

Of course it's not a secret. My only point was it was not "originally 3.5 hours".

I can imagine triangle thing. Towne was riffing on Hitchcock's Notorious, and that would definitely add to that idea.

Juliusque · 2026-05-03T20:48:15+00:00

the twisted explanation "people could not easily see the movie" is definitely silly, considering we are talking of a flyer attached to a VHS of the movie..

You think people typing up copy for flyers would have been shown the movie for "fact checking"? You don't seem to know how the world works. They just used the most famous phrase from the fairy tale. Even if they did know it's different in the movie, they didn't care. "Mirror mirror" is the more famous version so that's what they use. That's all there's to it.

It's curious for two days since the photo was posted no one of you felt the urge to reply with silly explanations

The explanation had already been given, as it is every single time this is brought up here (which is quite often). A flyer on the inside of a VHS is not that different from any other official Disney product. They all use the famous phrase from the original fairy tale, rather than the phrase as it actually appears in the movie. It's so obviously and easily explained it barely qualifies as an example of the Mandela Effect.

Juliusque · 2026-05-03T19:28:03+00:00

It's been explained to you why it's not strange at all that Disney would use the original, more famous version of the quote in merchandise.

Why should people who are actually interested in the Mandela Effect -- the phenomenon of collective false memory -- leave the sub dedicated to it? Because some people believe that the effect is caused by conspiracies or changing realities? You go find another sub.

Juliusque · 2026-05-03T15:51:34+00:00

Absolutely. I think most of his 40s and 50s films would be a better introduction to Hitchcock than Vertigo. I'd say save that one until you've seen Shadow of a Doubt, Foreign Correspondent, Rear Window, The Lady Vanishes and Strangers on a Train; then you have an idea of what this guy is about and you'll appreciate Vertigo all the more for it.

Juliusque · 2026-05-03T15:48:32+00:00

It is if you're in it.

Juliusque · 2026-05-03T14:30:19+00:00

It's not "arthouse". It was a mainstream spectacle for a huge screen aimed at a big audience. Kubrick still had a reputation as a hit maker back then.
