Bump George

"My family is with me today. They wanted to come with me. To be honest with you, I wasn't sure how I'd feel coming back here. Every day I think about what you said to me that day on the bridge. I tried to live my life the best that I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that, at least in your eyes, I've earned what all of you have done for me." "Sir... I have an opinion on this matter." "Well, by all means, share it with the squad." "Well, from my way of thinking, sir, this entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources." "Yeah. Go on." "Well, it seems to me, sir, that God gave me a special gift, made me a fine instrument of warfare." "Reiben, pay attention. Now, this is the way to gripe. Continue, Jackson." "Well, what I mean by that, sir, is... if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, sir... pack your bags, fellas, war's over. Amen." George

Okay, I'm going to make my comment about Gotham, now. Hopefully, WW isn't more than a week behind. So, Galvan has evidence of the Waynes' killer, and offers it to Bruce in trade for Bruce's company. So, why didn't Bruce (or at least Alfred, for crying out loud) ask Galvan why he wouldn't turn the evidence over to the police or, for that matter, give it to Bruce for free? He (Galvan) was painting himself as this noble savior of Gotham city; but this act alone would show that he isn't. George PS My DVR didn't pick up Supergirl last week, and my lady-friend backup either missed it, too, or deleted it. I'll try to find it on the internet, so please try not to give spoilers. If I haven't seen it by this time next week, go ahead and post.

"Plan 9 from Outer Space"? George

Name one of these shows to win. They all have a similar basis, though I doubt they are derivative of each other. 1. An NSA computer tech is accidentally infused with a serum containing nanomites, which give him enhanced strength, senses, healing, etc. Naturally, the government uses him as a secret weapon. 2. A computer geek accidentally has a secret government program downloaded into his brain, which gives him knowledge of all US government secrets and programs. Naturally, the government uses him as a secret weapon. 3. A man is given a pill which allows him to use all of his brain's power..Naturally, the government uses him as a secret weapon. George

WW is up... George

Queen Elizabeth? George

Well, the last two will make it obvious to fans of this actor. Jack Styles Bill Church, Jr. Ed Billik Sam Axe Ashley Williams Autylocus Briscoe County, Jr. George

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Alone (?) George

You can't handle the truth! :lol: George

Right. We are only "evidence" of VPW's charisma, if, in fact, that was the reason for being in TWI. I suspect that MOST people hung around because of love shown to them at the local level, and a desire to understand God's Word. At best, one can conclude that VPW's style was not so off-putting as to drive us all out. George

Don't we all! ;) You're up! George

Not getting it. Sorry. George

Two musicians witness a mob hit and go into hiding in an all girl band. They come across a talking horse who seems particularly adept at stock market tips. George

I had no personal (up-close) contact with VPW, but on tape and on stage he had a very avuncular manner, which I would characterize as charismatic. I'm sure he "went off" at Corps and staff, a lot; but that side was rarely seen by the general public. His most public tirades were against the media and "organized" religion, which made him sympathetic as the "little guy" standing up to the "bully." As time went on, and more was revealed about him (mostly posthumously), it became clear that his "charisma" was that of a con man, and that he, himself, was the bully. But I would still contend that he was, in fact, charismatic. George

I'm not sure which is the chicken, and which is the egg. Are comics today more adult, because only adults can afford them; or are they priced higher because of adult content? I just ran a back-of-the envelope estimate on what a 12-cent, 1965 comic would cost, assuming a doubling every ten years (roughly 7% inflation): five doublings (to 2015) equals 32, so the comic would be $3.84, not that out-of-line with current prices. 6% inflation (doubling every 12 years) would give a price at about $2.00. My weekly run to the comic store costs me about $45. That was about a year-and-a-half's worth, in 1965. (Of course, the higher expenditure is due not just to higher prices, but also to the much greater number of titles I now purchase.) George

I hadn't given much thought to the Gotham time slot, but you make a good point. (Even worse, it's on at 7 PM in my time zone.) Arrow is a bit darker than Flash, but still a lot cheerier than Gotham. Oliver doesn't have a boxing glove arrow, but he does use some trick arrows (EMP, gas, rope). After "Man of Steel," I suspect that bright colors (and yellow in the "shield") are gone forever. (I did enjoy the sequence where Kara tried on a few alternative costumes.) FYI, I started reading comic books in early 1962, just after the price went up from 10 to 12 cents. As I recall, they stayed there until about 1968, and then stayed at 15 cents until the early-mid 70's. After that, all bets were off. Now comics cost anywhere from 2 to 5 dollars (with graphic novels, etc., costing as much as 25 dollars). It's a shame that kids can't afford comics, anymore. George

"2001: A Space Odyssey" "You're from outer space?" "No, I'm from Iowa. I just work in outer space." George

"Frankenstein"? George

It's WW who usually has to wait a bit to see the episodes. George

Name the actor Jack Styles Bill Church, Jr. Ed Billik George

Well, Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Gotham ALL had great episodes this week. I'd like to talk about a certain aspect of Gotham, so, WW, let us know when you've seen it. :) George

"Star Trek"? I believe that the theme song (with lyrics) was called "Beyond Antares." George
