"It is no laughing matter! We Draculs have a right to be proud! What devil or witch was ever so great as Atilla, whose blood flows in these veins? Blood... Is too precious a thing in these times. The war-like days are over. The victories of my great race are but a tale to be told. I am the last of my kind." "Listen to them: the children of the night. What sweet music they make." "There is much to be learned from beasts."

Some of the lines may remind you of it, but this is not that movie. Odd to say it with those lines, but this movie, in general, was NOT played for laughs.

Yes. Played Poirot in the most recent "Murder on the Orient Express", Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter 2, etc. Was getting ready to start running a long list of Shakespearean roles to accompany Iago and Benedick.

If none of the names in the last post didn't give it away (one would have for me, 2 would have for Mrs Wolf), then look over that list. At least 1 name off the last set should point you in the right direction.

Mrs Wolf got it from Wallander, but might have gotten it from Poirot. (Actually, I was surprised she didn't rattle it off from Poirot.) I might have gotten it from Dr Loveless.

That's why it's good to hear alternate points of view- sometimes what you don't see is more important than what you DO. In regards to the GSC: A) the regulars who post here spend a few minutes a week here. (Any spending more are socializing and that's not twi-related.) B) The vast majority of people who've posted here have moved on with their lives and don't even check in here any more. Some places consider that bad for the place. However, since the GSC is partly about helping people move on and prosper after surviving twi, we consider them SUCCESS STORIES. They moved on and spend zero minutes a week on twi. C) We STILL get new posters, so it's good to answer their questions and point to previous discussions on some of their questions. This helps them get to where they can move on.

We've all become God's Madmen. All of us." "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." "Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things." I... love you too much to condemn you." "I'm no lunatic man. I'm a sane man fighting for his soul." "Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks upon this earth is the one who finds... True love?" "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me." "Hear me out, young man. Lucy is not a random victim, attacked by mere accident, you understand? No. She is a willing recruit, a breathless follower, a wanton follower. I dare say, a devoted disciple." "Mr. Morris, your bullets will not harm him. He must be beheaded. I suggest that you use your big Bowie knife." "Well, I wasn't plan on getting that close, Doc." ""I want you to bring me, before nightfall, a set of postmortem knives." "An autopsy? On Lucy?" "No, no, no. Not exactly. I just want to cut off her head and take out her heart." "Was she in great pain?" "Yes, she was in great pain. Then we cut off her head, and drove a stake through her heart, and burned it, and then she found peace."

The movie "Van Helsing" was inspired by the original book, but, other than, say, Drac himself, did not feature the book's characters like Lucy.

"Whoa." (Actually, no actor said this in this movie.)

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pilot/magic.html You probably only remember the chorus, but I quoted the non-chorus parts of the song. Your turn.

Congratulations, Human, you correctly named the song title- "Magic"- and the song artist- "Pilot."

No, but it's good to occasionally remind people that there's no guarantee anyone will agree with them, and they can't demand that they do. Claims should be supported, and someone should call a claimant out when they do not. Some of us may need reminders of that more than others.

For those arriving late, this was a quote from MRS WIERWILLE, at vpw's FUNERAL.

Any chance this was Monty Python's "The Life of Brian"?????

If you were correct about the title, do you know who the artist of that song would be? (It would STILL not be "Sully" Sullenberger.)

"Never been awake. Never seen a day break. Leaning on my pillow in the morning. Lazy day in bed. Music in my head. Crazy music playing in the morning light." "I love a sunny day. Dream of far away. Dreaming on my pillow in the morning. Never been awake. Never seen a day break. Leaning on my pillow in the morning light." "Never believe it's not so."

If you're hearing "Sully" Sullenberger in your head, he wasn't the singer. This song was not on the soundtrack of any Harry Potter movie, either.

As for vpw...... for all his talk about "the manifestations", he wasn't seen to operate the "power" manifestations, I'd like to point out that we KNOW he faked the other 6 at different times. He PRETENDED to receive "word of knowledge" about things all the time. He didn't say "I'm receiving a word of knowledge right now" - but he pretended he was, and then came out with something from the John Birch Society, or some Christian writer of whom we'd never heard. He claimed to receive word of wisdom....yet, on his deathbed, he told someone that he was desperately trying to remember or figure out where he'd disappointed God and gotten refusals for a miraculous healing at the time. That was the same man with a laundry list of sins- simony, rape, sexual assault, menacing, addictionS to alcohol and tobacco, etc. If the man was at all "tuned in", he would have known when he was PLANNING the sins that he was displeasing God. He didn't even need divine revelation to know it was displeasing to God. Asking afterwards certainly would have gotten him an answer- if he really wanted one. As for discerning of spirits, he was fooled about stage magic charlatan tricks to make things appear- claiming they were supernatural when they were sleight-of-hand and someone CLAIMING they were supernatural. For that matter, he died a slow death over a few years, with cancer attacking his cells. (Decades of abusing his immune system with alcohol during decades of abusing his cells with tobacco caught up to him.) The man who supposedly taught the gifts of healings wore glasses through the 70s and 80s, certainly, had a stroke, had to have an eye surgically removed, then had cancer spread to organs, killing him slowly. How much would you trust dieting advice from a "diet doctor" who was morbidly obese? If vpw really knew about healing as he claimed, he would have survived. (For that matter, how about word of knowledge or word of wisdom that he had to stop alcohol and tobacco because they were killing him?) If one only had wierwille's example to go by, it's easy to conclude there's no miraculous healings. So, all we saw were the utterance manifestations- which he faked also. And did a sloppy job of it, too. The same handful of syllables he spoke in the taped class where the same handful of syllables he spoke whenever he claimed to speak in tongues spontaneously at the microphone. "Lo SHON-ta ma la ka SI-to la SHAWN-ta." The man faked speaking in tongues all the time. If one tries, it's easy to fake interpretation and prophecy. In fact, he admitted he'd faked tongues, earlier in the day that he claimed JE Stiles led him into speaking in tongues. So, I question whether vpw EVER did anything supernatural. I think it was ALL an act, a fake, a charlatan gulling a crowd. I think he sometimes spoke correctly ABOUT supernatural occurrences- when he plagiarized Christian authors who were the real deal. That's why he SOUNDED legit. He was quoting people who WERE legit and claiming the words were his own.

It was actually your first clue that sent me in that direction. The others made it clearer. BTW, I was thinking the other day that it's strange NOBODY ever called "Constable Odo" by his personal name, "Ital." Sisko sometimes called Major Kira Nerise "Nerise" (like calling you "George.") "Odo" was the Constable's family name, such as it was. Odo's pretty formal, but even Major Kira never called him anything but " Odo". Perhaps she felt silly, since he got the name almost by accident. The Bajoran for "unknown sample" is "odoital." So, when the unknown sample turned out to be a being, they kept calling him Odo Ital, as if it was a Bajoran name, and it stuck.

I forget how long ago I learned, and where I learned that one, actually. I've known for more than a decade. Raf may have told me face-to-face when DS9 was airing, for all I remember. Phil Farrand may have mentioned it in one of his books. It was probably one or the other.

Good guess, but no. It's probably sad I know Ustinov mostly from his appearances with the Muppets. (He hosted an episode and did a cameo in "The Great Muppet Caper.")
