I was told if I built a pickle ball court they would come. Then I remembered I didn't want them too.

Talking about movies where the other person hasnt seen it or where there is clearly an enthusiasm gap, is one of the most irritating social interactions regardless of whether i'm a participant or just an observer

Sword in the Stone (1963) is a true story. Right now, today, in England, there is a hermetically sealed room and in that room is a sword cast into a stone. One piece, the top is a sword with a hilt and golden engravings and the bottom is a rock. This exists right now in England. A lot of stories that we think are made up are not, all stories are true in an infinite timeline.

[@wildebeestwright]

That Polaroid shirt is fire

[@markb3786]

[@travelthroughart]

I haven't seen this movie but I heard there's a Mandela effect about it. Julie said the famous phrase too "if you build it they will come" as everyone remembers it. But allegedly in the movie they actually say "if you build it HE will come" so everyone remembers it wrong. Can anyone comfirm? Or do I have to watch it myself? :D

[@charlie2640]

I never really thought that "Field of Dreams" was really a baseball movie. It was a movie with baseball in it but I didn't think that was the point. Well that's just me, perhaps.

[@zapveresepa1]

Look, just because you don't *believe* it was based on a true story doesn't mean you should crush other people's baseball-ghost dreams!

To be fair, there're a lot of baseball movies base on true stories 42, Moneyball, A League of Their Own...

[@NicolaLarosa]

Polaroid might have been a sponsor, but it may be more that the two shirts match their personalities. Who knows, maybe the shirts were an inspiration for the sketch.

[@Maningray1960]

The movie is based on a Canadian novel. So, go Canada!

[@emmeeemm]

Damn, I watched this entire sketch with "A League of Their Own" in my mind the whole time. I was so confused! Maybe I need to go watch "Field of Dreams". Or maybe I just prefer the baseball movie that is inspired by a true story, if not terribly strictly based on it. Or maybe two things can be true.

I mean, it *is* based on real people. Shoeless Joe Jackson and Archibald "Moonlight" Graham were both real people. And, in the novel that the film is based on, the author that Ray meets is real author J.D. Salinger.
