Oops. That can happen when posting close to dawn.

Hey, George, since I posted the answer on the wrong thread, was it invalidated, making Raf's the first correct answer?

"INDIANA JONES and the LAST CRUSADE."

Mark Hamon? (In Spanish, "jamon" with a sound like "hamon" means "HAM" in English. In Spanish, the letter 'j' has a sound like a hard h.) Mark the Ham? As for the current round, no need to jump to the obvious answer. "Arnold Strong" was the original billing for Ah-nuld when he played this role. The studio didn't think "Schwarzenegger" would work for US audiences. They dubbed his voice, too. Then again, I heard Jean-Claude Van Damme's voice as the Canadian Frank Dux in " Bloodsport", and perhaps the studio was on to something with dubbing AS. This role is "HERCULES." AS was introduced to US audiences, IIRC, in this role. Kevin Sorbo played him in "Hercules- the Legendary Journeys. I'm sure Lou Ferrigno played him in some version, but I don't know which. I don't know about the other actors. Disney had a movie and animated series, so that's room for 1 or 2, and Trans-Lux (who brought you "Speed Racer" had a Hercules cartoon I used to watch.

He chose poorly.

Louis Black is a Caucasian stand-up comedian. He sounds exasperated and occasionally yells. On " Big Bang Theory", he played the entomologist Professor "Creepy" Crawley, the discoverer of the Crawley Dung Beetle. He settled Sheldon and Howard's cricket bet while packing. The university had eliminated his job and he was going to move to Bakersfield. In the cartoon "Inside Out", he did the voice for Anger. He was in a few other movies here and there, but I still remember him from his stand-up days.

I make no claim to being any real "scholar,", but I've learned some things, some of them by study. I also appreciate good manners. What I know on this subject, I don't mind passing along.

Splintering and Subjugating.......as night follows day
WordWolf replied to skyrider's topic in Out of the Way: The Offshoots
1) I think glossing over their complicity to the Martindale purges and rfr's draconian policies that are only reined in when a lawyer insists they must be is the wrong approach. (If your "Christian" group exploits its workers and only stops when lawyers and law enforcement say they have to stop- as with twi- then your group is not as "Christian" as it claims to be.) They were perfectly comfortable with that for DECADES. That's not some piddling little detail. It says a lot about what they value more. 2) Nobody said it was "ALL about money." Some is about money- thus the timing when retirement is looming. Some is about POWER- now they can make the decisions. Some of it is about AUTHORITY- now other people hang on what THEY say. Some of it is about prestige and privilege- they have titles with cachet now, and possibly some of the chief seats. But dismissing all of that because itá not "ALL about money" is a convenient way to blow off a position you don't like. (Make up a caricature of that position, knock it down, then pretend that was the actual position, and you can dismiss the original position casually.) I don't think you MEANT to do that, but it looks like you were definitely in that neighborhood. 3) Last I heard, there was a "donate" button on R&R's Facebook page, which you can't see unless logged in. So, casual inspection may not make it obvious. BTW, just because they ALSO have normal jobs doesn't mean much. Having a standard source of income, among other things, makes it easier to hide "slush fund" expenditures. It also keeps the lights on at home. -
I meant to use both terms (still/frame) interchangeably. So, I meant it was one that wasn't captured the specified way, but since it was one regardless, who cares how I got it? I still posted it. In other news, yes, that's exactly that moment. Why did I go with that one? It was a split-second decision in George McFly's life, but, as we saw later, it COMPLETELY changed the direction he took. (For that matter, it completely changed the direction Biff Tannen's life took.) (BTW, the "insert other media" command on a post gave me an option to insert either of 2 images I've added to posts sometime in the last 2 decades. So I think that images might be somewhere even if we don't know links to their galleries.)

This is a still from a movie, just not one captured the aforementioned way.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I'M GLAD I GOT IN, AND I'M GLAD I GOT OUT. That having been said, the R&R people aren't the worst of the splinters, but they're hardly trustworthy, either. This is the group of people who planned to jump ship rather deliberately. Months before the meeting where they claimed it was about PRIMARILY trying to get twi to change, they registered "revivalandrestoration.com" as a URL. They also scouted around the top brass that weren't directly in charge, and tested the waters, asking who was interested in leaving and making a new organization. Months after THAT came the meeting where they claimed to want to reform twi and that's it. Monhs after THAT came the notice that rfr and the others weren't going to budge, so now we had to consider our options. At least a month after THAT was the announcement that they were going to start up R&R. So, don't think you were dealt with entirely honestly. Their pfficial story was that they did their best to get twi to change. Only after that failed did they consider splitting off and starting a new group. The opposite was true- they set things up to start a new group, then went to twi and failed to get change to happen. These are the same leaders who were fine with things for decades. As they approached retirement, they reconsidered their options, and now they're running their own show. Things were fine until it was convenient for them to leave, then SUDDENLY things needed to be addressed. -
I should get to this within the next 12 hours or so. (I hope.) If anyone's in a hurry, they can take it.

Even when I was IN twi, I didn't think they knew EVERYTHING, even though I thought they knew better than the rest. I wasn't above learning spot-skills from all sorts of Christians, and I've considered myself an eclectic Christian all along, free to borrow from this and that and not forced to conform to a single style or brand. Granted, I was only in for a few years, and it was in NYC, where there were a lot of mavericks as far as twi went. I do think that, had I stayed for another 5-10 years, the chain would have chafed and I might have left on my own and not just when craig was acting visibly and obviously crazy.

Cesar Romero Batman- the Movie Burgess Meredith (I don't know about anyone else, but I know him from at least 2 other roles, so I know he's link-able.)

Ultimately, they're not going to care what I think. (The comics people who brought back Barry Allen after decades of Wally didn't care, and neither do these people.) I think whoever replaces her, statistically speaking, has a good chance of being a better actress, statistically speaking. She has a reasonably good chance of looking more like Kate Kane/Batwoman are SUPPOSED to look. (Like the guy who's playing John Constantine was a much better choice than Keanu.) The problem here is that NOW they've established that Kate Kane looks nothing like the original comic book character (except in a general way- female, brunette.) So, whether they cast for "she looks more like the comics character" or "she looks like the actress she replaced", there's going to be disappointed people. I'm keeping my expectations low- this way, I can only be PLEASANTLY surprised! :)

Why did you pick this scene? Not why you picked that shot.... You wanted something with Grand Central Terminal behind it but completely out-of-shot?

Human correctly identifies this as "BORN IN THE USA.": So, it's Human's turn.

Human correctly identified this as "BORN TO RUN."

"ROSALITA'". Clarence Clemons has a great saxophone solo towards the end.

This was "SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT."

George got verbal acknowledgement of guessing the artist. You correctly named TWO of the songs. So, it is your turn.
