Amy Adams and Gal Gadot

Early in May this year (2017), one of my dearest friends and I talked about superhero films.  Jho is already a golden gurrl.  We planned to watch Wonder Woman together (we did on June 4).  Wonder Woman opened in Philippine theaters on June 1.

Jho mentioned the person playing Wonder Woman in the films Man of Steel and Batman v Superman.  Wonder Woman is not part of Man of Steel.

Jho said, “Yung gumanap na Wonder Woman, si Amy A… (The one who played Wonder Woman, Amy A)…”

“What?!” was my reply before he could finish his sentence.

“Amy Adams,” he finished nevertheless.

Jho misattributed Amy Adams.

Amy Adams played Lois Lane in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman.  Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman.  The two women will reprise their roles in the upcoming Justice League movie.

No matter how fresh our memories are, we can still make mistakes.  What more with old memories that happened decades ago?

Memory errors are not as uncommon as some might think.  That is why it is important to document stuff as they happen.

My gurrl friend made a mistake.  That is no cause for committing herr to an asylum.  Didn’t you forget your keys at some point in your life?

To err is human, to forget more so.
