  1. Next song. "Hand me down my walking cane, hand me down my hat. Hurry now and don't be late 'cause we ain't got time to chat. You and me, we're going out to catch the latest sounds. Guaranteed to blow your mind so high, you won't come down, no."
  2. As I said, the opening and title might be translated- and that's why people note what "language" it's in. The actual show isn't effected, and I watched one episode "in German" because they never aired it in English, neither in the US nor in the UK.
  3. That movie was in the 80s. If it included 2 characters that were introduced in 1992, I'm sure you'd remember that. This movie is more recent. BTW, there's a reason some characters were introduced, but weren't PORTRAYED until years or decades later. That should narrow the possibilities down somewhat.
  4. This movie had an unusually long name. It had an ensemble cast that had appeared in other media previously. One character (named in the title) was introduced and portrayed first in 1992. Two other members of the ensemble were introduced long before that , and were first portrayed in 1979 (together, I might add.) Another was first portrayed in 1992, but was introduced a few years before that. This film was rated "R". Financially, it didn't break even at the box office, but I think the decision of when they released it had a lot to do with that.
  5. I read too fast and didn't realize you'd changed songs. Ok, that 2nd verse I recognize. This is Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."
  6. I at least think I've heard this one, but I'd probably only recognize the chorus.
  7. Shame on you, I've recommended this show before. You would enjoy it. It's on freaking YT. In multiple languages.
  8. This role is not "legendary." Also, few people would consider this role British, least of all himself.

  10. AFAIK, the site wasn't "down." The certificate (whatever that is) expired. Since it had an expired certificate, some browsers will warn you and you need to choose to load the site, or possibly it may block the site if the certificate isn't current (or is incorrect or forged.) I suspect someone updated the certificate and everybody gets in normally now. (I suspect that because I'm no longer getting a warning.)
  11. This is a show that wasn't too hard to sell to international markets. It's got a broad appeal- partly because it's slice-of-life (believe it or not) and partly because the actual episodes require NO TRANSLATION WHATSOEVER (the opening and title might need them, however.) It started as a spin-off of a series of shorts, and itself spun off a children's show. This show, technically, IS a children's show, but has broad appeal to the adults that understand it better than the children. It's got voice actors, which is a little surreal for the actors sometimes since there are no spoken words during the episodes. It proved popular enough to be the basis of a few movies- at least one of which got an international, theatrical release. This show has also had a sequel show- new episodes with no substantial changes except arguably the show's opening- courtesy of Netflix. The sequel show is the 6th season, and has the subtitle "Adventures From Mossy Bottom." Additionally, this show's theatrical release was followed by a sequel- "Farmageddon." The 2 television specials were "The Farmer's Llamas" and "The Flight Before Christmas." The children's show, which spun off from it, was called "Timmy Time."

  14. That moustache thing was about Henry Cavill. This is about the two versions of the "JUSTICE LEAGUE" movie.
  15. T-Bone, 2 posts up..... "Twinky said “We know that many of those OT prophets thought they were forsaken by God, at times. They despaired of their own lives. They must have thought God was backing off from his promises.” I think that’s a fair assumption to make. But in retrospect it seems to me wierwille put a law-of-believing-spin on Romans 8 - perhaps intentionally making light of Old Testament believers and their experiences/hardships to seem of little importance or value – because he zeros in on the idea that WE instead are more than conquerors and don’t have to put up with and endure all that distress, deprivation, misfortune –" =================================================== A number of times- including one ROA evening teaching-("Believing- Hebrews 11") wierwille was rather specific. When he taught on Hebrews 11, he stopped briefly on Hebrews 11:35. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: wierwille then expounded some very specific error. He taught that they COULD have been delivered, but they chose not to ask God Almighty for deliverance, because they were "tired of the fight" and just wanted to die and get it over with, so that they'd just get to a better resurrection. So, yes, he taught that the suffering prophets of old could have believed their way out of suffering and stuff. This error was SO egregious that chris geer later, in between making it sound like wierwille regularly walked on water, taught this differently- without mentioning that wierwille taught it wrong. ("Principles for Victorious Christian Living 1- God's Roll Call of Honour." ) The "deliverance" mentioned in verse 35 was a secular deliverance. Those torturing them would have stopped if the prophets would have recanted. The prophets refused to renounce God- and obtained a better resurrection. vpw's blind spot due to his insistence on his fictional "law" of believing tainted even the reading of relatively-straightforward sections of Scripture.
  16. One rule we've agreed upon for the thread as a whole is that the songs have to have had actual airplay, and not just have been album cuts. The idea is that album cuts will only be heard by those who have the album, but airplay includes a LOT more people. I've loved songs that never got airplay, so I've never used them in this game. Keep in mind that if one song on an album gets airplay, that doesn't mean ALL the songs on the album got airplay. Even albums where most of the songs were hit singles usually had at least 1 or 2 songs that never got airplay. George never said this was one such song, just that it might not have been- and if it was, it's outside the convention for this thread. Honestly, it's not fair to expect people to know songs that never got airplay no matter how famous their albums got. I'm sure you'd complain about that if others posted album cuts you never heard nor heard of.
  17. *looks it up* Never heard this one, either. You know, there's quite a few songs I like that I could post but I don't because they came out in the 90s and I don't think any of you have heard them. I don't get on you about that, I just post a different song that you probably HAVE heard. For me, I set my cutoff, as a rule of thumb, for 1985. After that, unless the song blew up, I don't think you've heard it. On the other side, unless the song had airplay from the late 70s on, I have no chance whatsoever to have heard it. (Unless I've heard the album, which is pretty rare, but possible if rare for the Beatles because Mrs Wolf likes the Beatles.)
  18. I got that it was a Beatles song. *looks it up* I've never heard this song get airplay, and I've never heard this album. I recognize classic rock songs that have had airplay SINCE then, not songs that only had airplay in the 60s or early 70s. With the Beatles, I've a chance to have heard SOME of their albums, but not ALL of their albums.
  19. I can answer that I have no idea what song this is. I doubt Raf knows any better. Unless he's married to a Beatles fan, he's listening to less of their stuff than I am, now.

  21. Those are all actors. This is not a list of roles, it's one role shared by those actors.
  22. How confident are you that Mark Harmon was in a movie called Kirstie Alley?
  23. A guess... "Walker Texas Ranger?"
