Strange misconceptions you had about a film or filmmaking when you were young

Nah he was just some tall dude with green hair. What you’re saying makes no sense.

I thought that Bane meant it would be painful for CIA, rather than that he's a big guy for him.

i love the original TLoZ artwork and NES era concept art work in general

when did you became a retard then

Pic on the left is better.
Pic on the right looks like CalArts garbage.
Vidya used to look like vidya (like how a painting should look like a painting).

When I was younger for a bit I really really thought that the world was in black and white before the 70s due to all the black and white films and photographs from years and years ago.

Me too. Thought he was a fat Roy Orbison lookin' MFer.

Are you baiting or can't you grasp the point of the image?

When very very young, like 3, I for some reason thought briefly that films on TV were like plays, being performed and broadcast. But only films on TV, not in cinemas. So when an actor died, I think it was John Candy, I thought films couldn't be shown with him on TV anymore because he couldn't perform them.

Literally all the lyrics except "Frankie".

Just stating that the left image looks better (for a videogame).

Also, I became really really convinced for a while about the existence/belief in aliens after watching Carpenter's the thing after it came out, felt really paranoid for a bit.

I used to think Greyskull was Skeltor's house that He-Man and his friends moved into when Skeltor was on vacation. That's why Skeltor hates He-Man

i sort of thought the same and when characters inevitably did an action i always hoped they would do something else. I vividly remember a chip and dale episode where a character grabs a sword off the wall and i would always hope that next rewatch he would grab the axe next to the sword instead but of course he never did

that's actually pretty reasonable

The right image isn't even from a game

good bait friend

>The right image isn't even from a game
It looks like every fucking Nintendo game since 2004

As a small child (4-5 maybe?) I was utterly convinced that when I watched a video tape the whole episode of whatever it was was being reshot rebroadcast live each time with the cast and crew. It meant I worried about watching things too many times in case the cast got annoyed redoing the same stuff.

For years when I was a kid I didn't make the connection that misled (written) and misled (spoken) were the same word

I thought misled (written) was pronounced "mistled" (as in mistletoe)

holy shit thats hilarious, that would be an autistic dream tho, ultimate live kino theater.

I used to think that in movies they used the same actor for all the ages and they had to wait years to shoot the next scene lol.

Sometimes I'm amazed I function as well as I do when I remember I thought that at one point.

dont worry at least you arent the guy i knew in middle school who thought the tv was a camera of sorts that showed what was happening on other planets and that every show was actually real events happening

Yeah I used to think pretty much the same thing. That it was his castle and He-Man was stopping him from getting his full powers back

chrischan genuinely believes that now

I thought Forrest Gump was about a guy who could run so fast he could go back in time, I guess the only parts I grasped were his running and his showing up in old news footage.

I referred to vaginas as "faginas" for quite some time because of this movie...

As autistic as your friend is there's been a few stories like that where fiction is just the reality of an alternate universe leaking through. I remember the Justice League cartoon doing it once

Are you simple?

whats going on with good old cwc? last i heard he was hanging out with these teenagers who were getting him to smoke pot

I remember as a 6 year old being baffled by the "bloopers" at the end of a Toy Story. I couldn't comprehend how an animated film could have bloopers.

I guess that's not that absurd, because tv movies genuinely worked like that in the 50s.

When I was 4-5 years old I used the thinks shows on at 3am/late at night were done by actors staying up to film them at that time

He believes an interdimensional convergence is about to happen and he will meet the sonichu characters

meanwhile barb is dying and he's having to beg fans for money

>Film released in theatres - 1983
>Film released on VHS - 1984
>Film shown on TV - 1986

I thought that teams of technicians, dedicating thousands of man hours were needed to convert a film from the original cinema version to something that would work on your VHS or TV.
Thats why i thought it took so fucking long

Agahnim is not ganon.

I had that with misshapen. Thought it was the same as mishappen.

not that user ts not ever stated but when aghanim dies you see ganons soul or spirit pop out of him i always figured aghanim was an avatar or was possesed by ganon

When I first saw the Truman show I began to question if it was real, like I legit thought "Jim Carrey" was Truman and was both confused and amazed

I also had a friend who thought Vincent survived the movie because he was there in the end in Pulp Fiction

A really weird specific one. In Home Alone 2, Kevin uses his Talkboy slowed down to pose as his dad and order a luxury hotel room. HOWDY DOO, and all that.
But when it goes "This is Peter McAlister, the faaatherrr", even though I knew what father meant, I for some bizarre reason took it as him announcing it like a title, as though he was some spiritual guru or something nicknamed The Father. I guess I thought announcing yourself as a father over the phone to a stranger would make you sound crazy so my brain interpreted it as something else.

I dunno.

I was so convinced I could see her nipples as a kid in this scene. So much rewinding. Even now I think I can see them.

I'm new to Chris, what is lumberjack Bob?

In Matilda, Trunchbull says she put her blood, sweat and tears into making a cake and I was the only obe who did not take it literally but was too young to explain what a metaphor was. The other kids got really angry when I'd point out that she didn't put her actual fluids in the cake.

Much too good for children.

his (now deceased) father who infamously caught chris fapping and threatened chris that he will get rid of chris' internet with the threat "i'm cutting it down!" and was immortalized as the internet lumberjack. Of the chadler family he was by far the least fucked and was always a ray of humour and normalxy when he died in 2011 it was an end of an era.

I use to thunk that if you had a big screen TV you could see more of the picture. Like if people were just off screen on a regular tv, you would be able to see all of them if you had a big screen tv.

I knew I'd heard that joke before, thanks user.

I have my own Home Alone 2 one, which is that I thought "giving a tip" is giving someone chewing gum.

A film released in 83 would take a couple years at least to make it to video. Because they had to remake it for smaller screens. That's why the screen is cut off on the sides.

I thought every movie ever had to be filmed in hollywood

I thought they used terminally ill cancer patients for the death scenes like Jaws.

wait, i watched the latin american version and they make a point of the cake having actual blook and sweat to make it clear is some kind of punishment, am i missing something?

I thought people that had sex in movies were actually having sex with each other.

I thought Gennaro in Jurassic Park actually was going for a shit when the T-Rex found him.
Also that the cubicles collapsed because he slammed the door too hard, and exposed himself.

I thought the same thing

Maybe I'm the asshole then lol

just watched and she says something like "cafeteria lady made this cake with blood and sweat" so I guess im one of those dumbasses that took that literally back then

This is official Nintendo artwork of Agahnim. There is also the fucking quote from Ganon himself during the last boss battle in ALTTP:

Oh and a related one for the same scene but not for me, my brother insisted that the Rex was wrenching him around the place to build up momentum to fling him and see how far she could toss the lawyer.
In hindsight imagining the Rex thinking like that is hilarious.

Listening to all the courtroom dramas I thought hearsay was some old timely legal phrase. I always knew what it meant but I only actually made the connection that its term is literally repeating what someone else told you, hence Hear Say, a few weeks ago

You weren't the only one.

>I thought Gennaro in Jurassic Park actually was going for a shit when the T-Rex found him.
I'm realizing this for the first time. Also that he's still wearing his pants.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

When I was the same age I thought that if you clapped when you watched live television the sound would be absorbed by the TV and sent as a signal back to the live studio and your claps could be heard.

I had Mission Impossible and Independence Day confused for some reason. So when we went to see Independence Day I was expecting, you know, Tom Cruise dangling from wires and whatnot. Also MI was already on TV at this stage so I didn't know why we were going to see it in the cinema. Then aliens showed up and I was confused.

After the first time I saw The Truman Show as a kid I was convinced that my own life was like the movie
As in I was secretly being filmed and the star of my own TV show

As a kid I thought he was about to shit himself from fear, so in panic his mind took the dumb decision to find a bathroom because it was also a "safe space"

It is

I thought the director's only job was to hold the camera so I couldn't understand how actors could direct episodes they appeared in.

I watched you poast that

When I was young I thought that anyone killed in a movie or show was just knocked unconscious and would wake up later.
The movie that made me realise that the character's were actually dead dead was pic related and it wasn't the part where the protaganist goes nuts and murders the crew but when one of the droids is lost during a meteor storm. Traumatised the shit out of me

Attached: Silent_running.jpg (267x373, 35K)

I always thought villains had to die in the movie, no matter what movie, and so I'd manage to take any sort of defeat of them as their death. For instance, in Beethoven, a children's film, the villain gets a tray of syringes launched into him (which is pretty fuckin brutal now that I think of it), and I just assumed that killed him, while his henchmen are attacked by guard dogs and I assumed they were killed. Even though they're all shown alive and being arrested at the very end.

I still can't spot good acting. I can spot bad acting. But whether a performance is average or Oscar worthy? I have no idea.

Most "good acting" bears no resemblance to how people behave IRL, so I wouldn't blame you.

Not a misconception but I used to think that movie monsters could be created by our fear. That they existed in some other plane of existence and your fear would manifest them and bring them to your room in the dark. This is why it never mattered if the adults said that it was just a movie and not real.

>>tv would pause when you switched channels or turned the set off
That seems like the first thing you'd unlearn.

When Harry and Marv had a hold of Kevin in Home Alone 2, Marv starts blabbing about their plans and Harry tells him to shut up, but Marv says it doesn't matter because Kevin won't be talking to anyone, "except maybe a fish, or the undertaker!" to which Kevin gasps.
I had no idea what an undertaker actually was, so I thought he meant like, the wrestler. Why they would take him to a wrestler I don't know but I thought Kevin was scared of him.

I had to make a thread here to ask what "the same goes with God" line from The Life of Pi meaned.
I never considered that guy from the support group in the beginning of Endgame was gay until I saw people talking about it, I thought he was discussing how sad he was after his brother (or another family member) disappeared.
I never understood the food fight scenes in movies, I thought it was rotten food people saved to throw around.
I used to think schools with musical instruments and chemical classes (with those glasses full of green stuff and all) showed in films were fake schools like Hogwarts.

big think

Like a stage play, 3 sided set with an area for the audience to sit

My friend is 36 and still believes there's room in the "ears" of Wolverine's mask where he can put his winged hair so it won't have to get flattened and ruined.

I remember when VHS/DVD versions would come out almost a year after the movie was in theaters. I’m still surprised sometimes when I see a BD or streaming site have a movie that just came out a few months ago

your friend is right

That's practicality.

when i was very very young i used to think all tv was live. i couldn't wrap my head around the concept of recording something and playing it back

What would be the alternative then?

He shaves his head bald and uses his healing powers to regrow it fast.

The first one that comes to mind was me watching saving private ryan when I was 8 and looking through various german dictionaries for FUBAR every time I went to the library for several months. I don't know when I finally figured it out.

Flashbacks were a difficult concept. The fact that there was ANOTHER actor playing a younger version of a character always felt odd. Sometimes they would even appear together (in behind-the-scenes material) and I would be confused.

All of these are relatable.

I saw Ace Ventura when I was 6 or 7 years old and when they show the back of the trannie's panties I thought he had crapped himself or something. For a long time I couldn't process that people actually try to change genders.

Same. I thought it was literally was just a really bad case of hemorrhoids, and that was gross enough to make him flip out in the earlier montage.

>I still believe that I am sometimes

If you can tell me what word is on the shirt I'm wearing I'll kill myself on live TV

Oh yeah, you're right. I thought they were hemorrhoids too because Ace actually mentions it, even though for him it's only a joke. Although to be fair I wasn't really sure what hemorrhoids were either.

Don't forget the billion formats that they also had to optimize and mass produce for

But that's is the correct answer. Yes, comics are retard. Also few people seems to notice that the overall motif of Logan's costume/powers is a tiger, always associating him with wolves

In Angels in the Outfield, I could never understand why the Angels needed to win the pennant for the son to be together with his father.

I didn't realize that the father was being sarcastic, until I got older, and suddenly the movie's plot became utterly stupid.

I'd watch a Mission Impossible x Independence Day crossover

What does a wolverine have to do with a wolf?

a wolverine is a mix of a wolf and a rine. Bred for its skills in magic.

In the comics he is always running with wolfs, being called "lone wolf" or if he morph into a animal (pretty common in comics) its always some kind of wolf. Comic fags are also /fit/ furries

I thought "Epitome" was spelled "Epidemy" until I was a sophomore in college.

When I was in school I had a backwards way of figuring things out I didn't understand: I assumed it was a sex thing
When kids would just shout out "MIKE JONES," I overthought the whole thing and in my mind it was "huh Mike Jones... kind of like that Mike Hunt joke my dad pulled on me. What could Mike Jones be misheard as? Mike Jones... My kuh Jones.... My cajones?"

when I was little I thought that all media had to be filmed live, so any time you popped in a VHS an alarm would ring and all the actors would have to get into costume and character and act out the movie for me. I mean how else is acting a full time gig unless you are on 24/7 call to act for the amusement of kids around the world

I was opposite I thought all songs and media were like 100 years old. LIke star wars I thought was 80 years old and its creator long dead when I watched the 97 re-release

I also thought radio songs were all like storied songs of our human history and like 80% of radio songs were like 50 years old minumum and only 20% were like the experimental shit that was quickly bottled and forgotten if it sucked balls

it wasnt until I was 20 years old I realized all those red hot chilli peppers songs were all contemporary hits from my childhood

I have a vivid memory of playing red faction 2 late at night and I got this glitch where every npc's head was titled to the side. I remember feeling bad for them because I thought I woke them up from sleep.

When I was really super young, I thought they actually killed actors in death scenes.
A much more interesting one from when I was a bit older, I thought musical scenes were actually sung and not lip synced.

Maybe someone here can answer this
What do they do in shows with a "live studio audience" when an actor fucks up and they have to do a scene over and over or when a joke falls flat? Do they just tell them to laugh at it or do they just dub in fake laughter?

I was like 10 or something too so there's really no excuse other than autism, I'd never heard that sort of phrase used and I couldn't figure out the irony

You have to laugh or they'll shock your seat.

Either, depending on convenience. May even be both if the editors aren't happy with the live track.

Nope. Most seasons are usually made in like 3-4 months during the off season.

Some shows do it though, and you can tell.

It made me want an anime so bad. Still do

Youd think right?

I remember turning the tv off while my mom was vaccuming and then getting surprised that it didnt pause. I thought it was a mistake.

Yeah, I thought the same thing, until I saw a movie where the bad guy gets a rocket shot at him and my brain went
>he's dead

What about when they have to film stuff out of sequence and some of the jokes don't make sense? I always pictured someone coming out to explain to them the context of a scene before they start so they'll get all the jokes. do they ever do that?

They're made clearly aware of the designated shooter if they don't react as intended.

I remember they used the Boy Meets World opening from the later seasons for early episodes in syndication, and little kid me was extremely confused about how that was possible. I thought maybe they found actors that they thought the kids would look like eventually and filmed them to make the opening.
Pre-internet days led to some dumb but imaginative ideas in kids' heads.

I used to believe that films and TV were produced in order to tell a story and advertising was a necessary part of funding, as opposed to the reality that most productions are straight up money laundering operations and convenient vehicles for producers and execs to get all the drugs, sex, power, and tax free shekels they can handle; along the way if something tangible results then thats a bonus and that mrpeans more drugs, sex, power, and tax free shekels.

I thought literally everything was filmed on a set. Even if it's an outdoor city or landscape, I thought they were just on a huge set.

Raptors can't breathe in the wild

I didn't understand the whole tranny thing at all as a kid, even now I still don't fully get the logistics of her dick being tucked all the way behind her ass like that. My brother told me that as a kid he thought that Ace was showing them that she shat her pants and that was the big reveal.

Ganon wasn't that large

Yet another Jurassic Park one. My VHS copy was taped from the TV and not the best sound, so I misheard Hammond at the start somehow, when he appears in Grant's trailer and opens their champagne, Grant protests that they were saving it and Hammond goes "For today, I guarantee it".
But I heard "Well I found it first", which rather gives a completely different first impression of him.

I was 10 when I saw the phantom menace, in the conversation between Anakin mom and Qui Gon she tells him that she raise Anakin alone and that there was no father which I took to mean that Anakin dad do a nigger move and bail, years later I realized that Anakin was supposed to been born like Jesus. I prefer the nigger way.

What the fuck? Even as a kid I never saw it like this? I mean, is it not obvious as fuck where his eyes are and that he is wearing a tiara thing on his head?

His character was originally an arrogant asshole in the book, that line would have suited him.

If you're looking at that sprite on a little crappy CRT TV in 1992, it's not so easy

I always thought Donald Duck's voice was done sort of special effect like with Alvin and the Chipmunks. It legitimately blew my mind to find out that his voice actors can actually talk like that.

>pixels on face VERY CLEARLY the same color s the pixels on hands/arms

Anyone who unironically thought Agahnim looks like the one on the right deserves a fucking bullet.

No surprise that he became more and more miserable the further he fell into SJW tranny shit.

yes because 6 year old children playing on a little CRT TV in 1991 definitely check by pixel color there

This artist produced all kinds of comfy Western-ish, sorta-non-anime aesthetic 80s artwork for Nintendo.
