So you think that your memory of separate items from the 60's, the 70's, the 80's and the 90's are all due to a timeline shift...are you shifting back and forth? This whole timeline thing has just been one massive "I have a bad memory and don't want to admit it" scapegoat.

You would have a great point, if me and millions of others had NOT watched star wars since the 70's or 80's, but when you watch it every christmas, and like I said earlier, just can't WAIT to join in at the line you know, like I said I do with Wayne's world and Princess bride, or owning the chorus in a song you know etc.... well, I would have noticed by now, one of the 500 times I watched it, and couldn't WAIT to put my Darth voice on! I would have been shocked already, and been through this already... it would be like in princess bride, the line changing from " Stop that rhyming I meant it! Anybody want a peanut?" To " Anyone want peanuts? or something stupid like that. With some things, you have said while watching it, enough times to KNOW.
if while singing bohemian rhapsody, Garth didn't know the words and mouth "rarararara" at a a different spot than at " anyone can see".... etc it is BURNED into my brain... I bet most people didn't even notice Garth wording "Rarararara" at "anyone can see", but I even do it when I sing the karaoke version.
Do you see what I am saying?

Oooh ooh let me.... let me....
You would have gotten away with this if you had used any film but the Princess Bride but that is probably my most watched film.
So I can only assume you mean the line....
"No more rhymes, now, I mean it"?
Even when showing how you cannot misremember certain things, you managed to misremember one. How did you put it?
"With some things, you have said while watching it, enough times to KNOW. "
Oops

I understand that like every other person on this planet, your memory is imperfect.
Every time you remember an event from the past, your brain networks change in ways that can alter the later recall of the event. Thus, the next time you remember it, you might recall not the original event but what you remembered the previous time. The Northwestern study is the first to show this.
“A memory is not simply an image produced by time traveling back to the original event -- it can be an image that is somewhat distorted because of the prior times you remembered it,” said Donna Bridge, a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and lead author of the paper on the study recently published in the Journal of Neuroscience. “Your memory of an event can grow less precise even to the point of being totally false with each retrieval.”

"sigh"..... just wait until it happens to you...... I am starting to think this is something everybody is going to have to face pretty soon.... you can only explain away so much, until it happens to you. Then you want some better answers than " ohhh poor memory... " No $^&*???? really, do you think if it were that simple this amount to people
would be having these problem, out of the blue??

I think "timeline" would not be the right word. Dimensional shift perhaps.
Big Star Wars fan here. Must have seen them 100's of times as a kid. As far as I am concerned it has always been "Luke I am your father".

Not really that big of a fan then are you. When was the last time you actually watched it, since you're so sure it's "Luke, I am your father" ?

The ommitted comma is of no relevance here, I just forgot to put in there in my reply.
