![]() I don’t know if I’m blocking the mother out or if this was just another child film where the mom is dead. John is a sassy and annoying kid who fights with his younger sister and complains his dad doesn’t care about him. He takes it downstairs and puts it in his room without telling anyone. John brings a box to the attic and there he finds THEE lamp. He’s just a baby.” I loved that line because she was roughly the same age and I thought it was cute. The new kid (I’m going to just call him John from now on, because I don’t remember his name), is about to walk over when his little sister (7ish) says, “leave him alone. The next-door kid also played Teddy, Michelle’s friend on FULL HOUSE. The son (12ish) automatically doesn’t like his neighbor because the boy over there (7ish) sprayed him with a squirt gun and made a face. Once the credits are over, the main family is moving in to a new house because the dad got a better job. ![]() I don’t recall hearing it on MTV or the radio, but if I heard it today, I’d know it. The song that played reminded me of the theme of THE ADDAMS FAMILY movie, but it wasn’t the same tune. It zooms in as the opening credits roll on the TV. Sinbad says, “let’s see what’s on TV” and turns it on via remote. Sinbad saunters over, sits on the bed with two waiting female genies hanging out with him. A large round bed and a TV across from it. There were purple curtains or blankets on the wall. He film starts with Sinbad (genie) in his lamp/man cave. A couple of years ago, thinking about purchasing research papers for college, I was going to order a paper about it. It aired on TV, it was in video stores I worked at, and it was a fun little film. Somehow this film disappeared off the face of the earth so knowing I’ll be called a nut, I’ve decided to write what I remember because I saw this movie several times. The genie is out of the bottle.After talking with a few of my movie-buff friends who are tearing their hair out and feeling insane while remembering the controversial film SHAZAM, I decided I’d put myself 100% out there. Maybe that is actually Shaquille O’Neal, not Will Smith, in the new Aladdin. But good luck finding a copy of any of these movies to prove it: the offending frames have all been removed from reissues. Rumours of a hidden message in the original Aladdin saying “good teenagers take off your clothes” turned out to be untrue, but The Lion King really did feature the words “S-E-X” spelled out in dust (well, the animators claimed it said “S-F-X”) there really was a photo of a topless woman in the background of The Rescuers and we really did see that Jessica Rabbit was wearing no underwear in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Forrest Gump never says the words “life is like a box of chocolates”.ĭisney films are no stranger to this territory, either. The Amityville Horror is not based on a true story. Bogart never says “Play it again, Sam” in Casablanca. ![]() Having outsourced our pop-culture memory bank to the web, we can no longer separate myth from fact, especially when it comes to movies. You could also call it the “internet makes us all dumber effect”. This collective misremembering is known as the “ Mandela Effect” – based on the fact that many people (supposedly) believe that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s. Then, in 2017, excerpts emerged online from a “rediscovered” VHS copy of Shazaam! – with the actual Sinbad playing a genie! Unfortunately, the clip was an April Fools’ spoof, courtesy of US website CollegeHumor. Or at least the internet says he did – who knows? As a result of the Shazaam! chatter, someone Photoshopped the fake video box cover. Contributing factors include the time in 1994 when Sinbad introduced Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger on cable TV, dressed as a genie.
