I feel bad for JIM HENSON PRODUCTIONS. They did a great job on this movie, and it still flopped at the box office. (It did poorly in the US, no word how it did in Greece, let alone Crete.)

You appear to know both the babe and the correct movie.

Took me a bit, but I agree "Friday" isn't a bad guess, either. And the casting there was definitely meant to include a bit of an inside joke, considering her husband.

I beheld entirely too much of him in "A Knight's Tale." Mrs Wolf says that some British guys have an obsession with their rear, which leads to them showing up in movies and so on. Then again, in some other movies I like, I didn't see him at all. Considering a later role, there's a bit of irony of not being able to use sight to recognize him.

Yes. I was getting ready to mention that "Harry Alonzo Longabaugh" is also known as "The Sundance Kid."

This movie eventually gained a cult following. When it was released, it was a box office disappointment- it had a budget of $25 million and the US theatrical run resulted in a box office of $12.9 million. The director was quite despondent about that- he had been hoping to direct serious and weighty films, and that never worked (neither did this), so he gave up directing and his career went into a rough patch. Personally, I think that's a shame, because he had a genuine gift for making millions of people happy, and entertaining children and families. The first draft of the script was by Terry Jones, and a number of people did work on later drafts (like George Lucas) but received no writing credit for it. The film has a main actor and a main actress. Nobody seems to be able to remember any other actors from the movie unless they're really fans of the movie. Both the main actor and main actress were in a few roles before this. IMHO, this is the first movie that either of them is actually REMEMBERED FOR. Both have acted since, and both have had successful careers (although his was not primarily in acting, hers is.) He has passed away, she's still alive. This 1980s film's main actress uses her legal name as her stage name. This movie put her on the map, but an early 1990s film re-introduced her to Hollywood's short attention span. The main actor's legal name is David Jones, but he changed it to David Bowie so he wouldn't be confused with Davy Jones of The Monkees. This movie was produced by George Lucas. The main actress was introduced to the public with this movie. In between doing lots of indie films, she's been re-introduced, so to speak, in a blockbuster alongside Timothy Dalton, a different one alongside Keanu Reeves, and was in 2 different Marvel movies, playing 2 different characters (the second time, you may not have recognized her at all.) She's currently doing television- for some value of "television."

This is definitely not "The Man Who Fell to Earth." This is also not "Legend."

Ok here's an older one that I THINK is easy to recognize. "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small." -
The "Second Wave" of returning to PFAL has started
WordWolf replied to Mike's topic in About The Way
"Sorry, Twinky. I just don't buy your perspective, that the PFAL class (and books) is merely man-given." Try not to be too shocked that nearly everybody else doesn't buy that pfal was 'the God-given PFAL class.' "If you look at my perspective, OF COURSE God is allowed to give revelation for a class that would bless many." I'd say we all agree that God is "ALLOWED" to do so, that He COULD do so. He can also make purple cows and flying buffaloes from which we would get buffalo wings. Hard to get converts when you don't go past "He COULD do this, therefore he DID do this, and you'd see that if you adopted my worldview for a few months." " I saw its benefits in the past, as well as currently." Twinky asked a legitimate question of you, and tossed you a "softball." You declined to answer, and are just being vague on that. Your choice, but it stifles discussion and weakens your case that you REFUSE to get specific at your leisure. " But we debated this for many years. You are not bringing up anything new." But he asked about your experience. That wasn't "debating." Other people recognize parts of a conversation. We can discuss things in a manner that they aren't continuous commercials for our pet cause. We can also have casual discussions ABOUT our pet causes. It's not too late for you to TRY to pick up those skills. "Sorry to ignore you Wordwolf. Too many details; too many repeats." "Too many repeats" is probably not the best complaint for you, of all people, to lead with. On the other hand, you didn't need to comment on what I said- I just recapped for those tuning in late. You could just stipulate to all that and move on, which is what I expected and you pretty much did. I did post that I was recapping for the others. "I hope your attention to detail helps in your ministering to people." It does, and generally in ways you wouldn't expect it to. I've also found it seems to work best when mixed with humility. "Why would you be more curious about my publishing success than in my little mirror explanation to cman here? " I thought you'd said all there was to say on your mirror explanation, and I didn't think there was anything to add that wasn't already said. So, I thought of that as an effectively-closed topic. On the other hand, your casual mention of both publishing AND being quoted in someone's reference work raised a few OBVIOUS questions. Since you normally refuse to give direct answers, I thought I'd try a direct question AGAIN and see if, just maybe, you'd answer directly anyway. You're also not the first person I've asked about a book they'd written, and you probably won't be the last. "Writing a book is one thing; publishing another. Self-publishing is easy and free nowadays. I'm more interested in the circulation of the ideas than paper printing and "official" fame. Most of what I write in recent years on free will first appears in discussion forums with others who are focused on this difficult topic." See, that's a persistent problem, and one that undermines your credibility. There's no attempt at CLEAR communication- there was an IMPLICATION, DELIBERATE "wiggle-room" was inserted, all to make people GUESS at what you meant, all so later you could deny it and accuse people of misunderstanding you after your DELIBERATE poor communication. Did you self-publish? Was it a print book, or an e-book if you did self-publish? The reference book- was it also self-published by an amateur author, or did a professional publishing house sign off on the thing? You INSINUATED that it was all self-publishing, that you made an e-book or something, and someone else did the same and quoted yours. There's no clear statement to that effect, either way. BTW, if you DID self-publish an e-book, there's nothing wrong with that. However, your casual mention of the book's publication sure made it look like you wanted people to think you were a formally-published writer- which is a much bigger accomplishment and, it seems, wasn't warranted. -

I was typing in a hurry, so, yes, I ended up with a typo. (If you rush with an international keyboard, you sometimes have typos that cluster around where you put quotation marks.) The current one isn't universally-known, but I happen to like it. "MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE", by Tom Petty. (The mention of "Indiana" in the opening line makes it easier to connect to a later line, of course.) BTW, even for Petty, that was a weird-@$$ video. -

Let's call that "close enough." It's "the Immigrant Song." I think a lot of people know the song who don't know the name, if only because of the Viking Kittens. -
BTW, I've heard people refer to people after Gen X as in Gen Y and Gen Z, but not with any regularity.
-
Not that I know of. Definitely not who I'm looking for.

Well, I'm with you so far, but your memory may surprise you. (Or it may not.) You have the actor, getting the actress is tougher- any thoughts on whose career found this a great opportunity?

Of course you can still subscribe! A) They're charging for everything because twi, traditionally, has always charged for everything. There was a tiny window when that wasn't the case, and that was gone by 1990. They're determined to MAKE A PROFIT off their data connection, same as with anything else. B) Of course you're still able to buy the CDs or DVDS. Under Rosa-lie if not sooner, everyone was REQUIRED to get the CDs/DVDs/tapes in some form whether or not they'd heard the connection live. Again, it's all organized to turn a profit. Someone could show up Sunday and listen to the audio hookup, then participate during the week when the local twig went over the content, and ALSO have a copy for personal use., As the substance thinned, it became mandatory to buy the same thing multiple times in different forms.
