This is why I like to replay a DVD or re-read a book. I'll find that I've mis-remembered certain details. But if it's from a DVD of a TV series that I've watched, I'll insist that plot on the DVD was altered. In fact, that was true for the movie "Brazil," where the made-for-TV version was missing the last 15 minutes, entirely changing the movie's impact.

But "Create memories of crap that didn't happen" comes naturally to me, except I don't consider them memories. I start out distinguishing my inner fantasy life from real life pretty well. But I suppose as time goes by, how can I be sure to remember what was the fantasy?
