Barbarella Marcel Marceau Silent Movie Thank you, I'll be here all week.

You are, but you're helping me agree to watch the shows at all. (I think I'm going to catch up to "Moon Knight" first, since I was a big fan of his long ago.)

If you want me to do another, give me a bit more time...

I don't know anyone who's played all of those roles before. Just going from their range, I'm going to guess "GARY OLDMAN" because he's willing to sit in a chair for hours each day to play any of those roles.

|"Not all that Wierwille writes will necessarily be God-breathed; not what 'Calvin said, nor Luther, nor Wesley, nor Graham, nor Roberts; but the Scriptures - they are God-breathed." As was pointed out long ago, this sentence- when read in its entirety, is clear and straightforward. vpw HIMSELF said that the word "BUT" puts into contrast that which precedes it and that which it precedes. (Anyone who doesn't know this needs remedial English.) After this was "the Scriptures- they are God-breathed." This is placed in very obvious contrast with what precedes it, which is NOT God-breathed. For the student who needs remedial English, I will point out that figures of speech exist in English as in other languages, and exist in 3 types just as in other languages. There's figures of addition, figures of subtraction, and figures of substitution. You don't need their names to recognize them. All of them have the purpose of emphasizing something. In the case of this sentence, we had a figure of subtraction. The sentence, written out plainly but awkwardly, would have been: "Not all that Wierwille writes will necessarily be God-breathed, not all that Calvin said was necessarily God-breathed, nor all that Luther said was necessarily God- breathed, nor all that Graham says is necessarily God-breathed, nor all that Roberts says is necessarily God-breathed, but the Scriptures- they are God-breathed." That the phrase is shortened is obvious when you look at the entire phrase, since it included dead authors in the past tense and living authors in the present tense. The sentence was specifically contrasting "the Scriptures"- and in pfal in both forms, that was used for Genesis to Revelation- with the words, whether spoken or written, of various Christian writers, teachers or speakers. The exact same point would have been made, more grammatically and making the exact same point, if it were phrased thusly, with no added meanings whatsoever: "Although the Scriptures are God-breathed, not every writing or speech of Wierwille, Calvin, Luther, Wesley, Graham, Roberts (or any other Christian writer) will be God-breathed." If Wierwille himself hadn't stressed the use of contrast by "but", and if he hadn't been so obvious in drawing a contrast here, there might be room to insert one's own ideas here. However, it's the poor student of English- or of wierwille for that matter- who can bring himself to do so. THAT'S why it doesn't come up. Few students are this slipshod or in need of remedial work. wierwille could have phrased himself more clearly- if his use of English was more precise. He was never that accomplished a writer, speaker or linguist, so his phraseology remained mediocre. So long as one isn't reading too closely into it, this is not a problem. Reading too closely into wierwille's exact wording when he was never that exact- as if wierwille's writings were "God-breathed", is as sure to cause problems as wrangling extensively over the exact phrasing of 450-year old wordings in the KJV when the Greek texts read differently.

Mike: "I'm curious how they will handle PFAL page 83 where it says: "Not all that Wierwille writes will necessarily be God-breathed."" =========================================================== I'm not. As Goey pointed out the first time you mentioned this sentence, long ago (even wierwille would have dinged you for isolating it from its context- as in "why don't they ever read the next verse?" ) , vpw was contrasting "THE SCRIPTURES"- which he said are "GOD-BREATHED" - with his own writings and the writings of a number of men. Looking for HIDDEN meanings in sentences with OBVIOUS meanings takes one down the rabbit hole very quickly.

Wagon Train aired from 1957 to 1965. Gene Roddenberry claimed that Star Trek (TOS) was meant to be "Wagon Train in the stars". A wagon train takes a journey as a group to a distant location, through dangers and undeveloped territory, which was nothing like Star Trek. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (the original) was definitely this and meant to be this. It had a fleet largely of civilian vessels in a long-term convoy, representing 12 planets of humans, seeking their lost colony's planet, the legendary colony of EARTH. ("Fleeing from the Cylon tyrrany, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest, for a shining planet known as Earth.") Star Trek's original run was over long before Battlestar Galactica premiered. Roddenberry sued Universal over copyright infringement over BG. With no obvious similarities, they said it looked like Roddenberry was claiming he had copyright over TV shows taking place in space. (Seeing no other similarity, I agree.) Wagon Train was black-and-white, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica were color shows that were also well-known. BTW, Roddenberry claimed that ST-TOS' pattern of traveling, having new encounters and solving new problems made it similar to Wagon Train, despite being a single ship sent by a government on a 5-year open-ended program of discovery and exploration but not colonization. I like TOS, but it's not what Roddenberry imagined- in fact, if it wasn't for Geen Coon's contributions, Roddenberry's dream probably would have resulted in a "cultural phenomenon" that became a cult classic and a niche show that appealed to dozens of fans across the US, but not more.

The answer IS "WAGON TRAIN."

As far as I know, this show hasn't been in syndication in a long time. (I haven't even seen 1 episode.) However, it was famous in its time. The part that confuses me is how, later, 2 completely-different TV shows would air- shows in a different genre than this show, shows that had marked differences from each other but shared a genre, and it was claimed that both were meant to be inspired by this show. The first of those shows, IMHO, didn't sound like it resembled the original show at all. The second of those shows, IMHO, looks to have been some sort of adaptation or closely inspired by this show. Despite the 2 shows not airing in the same years as each other (NOT COUNTING SYNDICATION, one ended before the other began), the second show was sued for supposedly ripping off the first show. Some of us think the people who did the first show were claiming that to make a TV show in the same genre was automatically ripping them off because the shows really didn't resemble each other. What I want is the name of the ORIGINAL show. BTW, it was a black-and-white TV show, but the other 2 were not. Both of the color shows were well-known as well.

Busy week, busy weekend... give me 12 more hours....

It's the "reality" show from SyFy that I remembered more than the other. Whose turn is it?

If you deliberately lived a life indulging in everything with the deliberate intention of a deathbed conversion wiping all of that out, when it came time, you might recite the words with a convincing sound like any actor, but you certainly wouldn't mean them. You'd have your deathbed, but no "conversion." There certainly would be no repentance, so there would be no sincerity. We know vpw was a great big fraud who thought sincerity was something a faker could actually do- but a faker can only FAKE sincerity. Any actor can FAKE an emotion, but that wouldn't be their true feeling and a reflection of their heart. Any fraud or conman like vpw could fake sincerity but could not actually produce it. When it comes down to the difference between what is in the heart- and not what is reflected on the face for any person- vs what someone CLAIMS is in the heart, the difference is dramatic. Jesus even warned us about fakers who claimed to do supernatural things in Jesus' name (they're out there...) He knew that fakers will try to get salvation by faking it, or trying to fast-talk God, or trying to fool Him. That's an awful time for someone to learn that they backed the wrong horse. Besides, obeying God isn't about trying to EARN SALVATION. It's about a deliberate choice to do the right thing- whether to make God happy, or simply because the right thing IS the right thing to do. There's also additional rewards, but I have trouble picturing most sincere Christians really being motivated solely by racking up rewards points.

Ok, I thought it was "Scream Queens" so I should have jumped in with a guess. I can at least get partial credit if I'm correct that the actress was JAMIE LEE CURTIS.

Gene Hackman ("I was gonna make espresso!") Superman-The Movie Terrence Stamp

That was a reference to "The Distinguished Gentleman" and how he got elected.

Danny DeVito Batman Returns Michael Keaton

His was the name you know? XD Well, it was correct. ("Jeff" Johnson)

We need more clues so we (George) have some kind of shot at answering this.

"Was it Ramona's husband who offed himself? After her affair with LCM? " Yes, it was. (I followed the story because I'd met the guy when he did his interim year.) He had found out about the affair, and was trying to leave the grounds with his wife. He was talking to her, trying to get her to agree with him, and apparently was successful. lcm heard about this. (Overheard were comments like how he couldn't compete with lcm.) lcm sent someone who knew her and told him to stop her from leaving. Apparently, he was successful, and she changed her mind and decided to stay. T0m M1tch311 found out she was going to stay after all. He chose to respond by blowing his own brains out. I imagine shortly after that, she no longer was considered Ramona M1thch3ll.

This reminds me of a conversation Mrs Wolf and I had the other day. Was this "WAG THE DOG"???
