  1. That actually sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it. George
  2. "Spinning Wheel" Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya... George
  3. The Fabulous Baker Boys Jeff Bridges Iron Man George
  4. Unless a line appears in a trailer shown over and over, it's probably not best to use a movie in current (or near-current) release (in this thread), as it won't be known to most people. Might be better for "Name That Flick." George
  5. These should make it easier... "There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories! Every piece of Greek parchment shall be burned. Every Greek historian, and every scribe shall have their eyes pulled out, and their tongues cut from their mouths. Why, uttering the very name of Sparta, or Leonidas, will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all!" "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed." "A thousand nations of the Persian empire descend upon you. Our arrows will blot out the sun!" "Then we will fight in the shade." "'Remember us.' As simple an order as a king can give. 'Remember why we died.' For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. 'Remember us,' he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be." "It's an honor to die at your side." "It's an honor to have lived at yours." "Immortals... they fail our king's test. And a man who fancies himself a god feels a very human chill crawl up his spine." George
  6. The Birdcage Robin Williams Mrs. Doubtfire George
  7. "Aye. The haggis is in the fire for sure, but I'll not lower my defenses on the word of that mealy-mouthed gentleman down below. Not until I know what happened to the captain." "Once your ship was in orbit about our planet, it became a legitimate target. It has been classified destroyed by a tri-cobalt satellite explosion. All persons aboard your ship have twenty-four hours to report to our disintegration machines. In order to ensure their cooperation, I have ordered you, Captain, and your party held in custody until they surrender. If possible, we shall spare your ship, Captain, but its passengers and crew are already dead." "Death, destruction, disease, horror. That's what war is all about, Anan. That's what makes it a thing to be avoided." "Diplomats! The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank!" "Yeoman Tamura, you stay here and prevent this young lady from immolating herself. Knock her down and sit on her if necessary." "What kind of monster are you?" "I'm a barbarian. You said it yourself." "An entrance, captain, but no exit. They go in, but they do not come out." "A killer first, a builder second. A hunter, a warrior. And let's be honest, a murderer. That is our joint heritage, is it not?" George
  8. The Professional Jean Reno Godzilla (1998) George
  9. "Dock of the Bay" When I was just a boy, and the Devil would call my name... George
  10. In general, I would be upset with someone who gives away the answer but doesn't post a clue. One particular poster used to do that all the time in the "Name that..." threads. Here, I'm just happy that we have more than two people playing. But, yes, I did explain how to post the pictures in the thread bfh mentioned. Basically, you open another tab (or window) to google the images, right-click the desired image to get its "Properties," and copy the URL. Then, you use the little "painting" icon in the Reply window (back in this tab/window -- it's the second after the "smiley" icon. Paste the URL where requested and post the picture. In the Reply window, you won't see the picture, just the URL. Don't sweat it. Repeat the process until you have all your pictures. At this point, I suggest clicking "Preview Post," because sometimes pictures don't come out right (or at all). When it looks the way you want it, click "Add Reply." It's really not that hard, Trefor (and any lurkers!). Give it a try! George
  11. Lethal Weapon Mel Gibson Mad Max at Thunderdome George
  12. Yes. GO + STRIDE + R You're up! George
  13. There already is a thread "Name that TV Show," using dialogue to represent a show. It sort of died away, but could be brought back. On the other hand, giving other types of clues might be a good, new thread. (It's reminiscent of the old Nostalgia Thread.) Anyway, bfh's show is obviously "The Brady Bunch." This one may be a LITTLE tougher, though I expect several people here will get it quickly: Jack Larson Phyllis Coates John Hamilton George
  14. Orlando Bloom Lord of the Rings (any) Viggo Mortenson George
  15. They simply said the job wasn't available. I get the impression they pretended that the job was never offered. It wasn't because he and his wife weren't "in good standing." They tithed, abundantly shared, and were at EVERY event. They were simply lied to. George
  16. Yep. He went into a deep depression. After he went through his and his wife's savings, he killed himself. Ultimately, he was responsible for his choice; but that doesn't absolve TWI. His wife is doing well, these days. George
  17. I personally know four people who committed suicide, two men and two women. All of them had been associated with TWI at one time or another. Only one of the suicides, though, would I consider a direct result of TWI. (He quit a high-paying job to take a staff position at HQ, only to be turned away when he and his wife arrived there.) :( George

  19. "I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you! Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam." George
