  1. *looks all of that over* This definitely looks up my alley. Perhaps "justifieth" is more apt than "avengeth". in this instance.
  2. "99 knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters. Every one's a super-hero, every one's a Captain Kirk. "With orders to identify, to clarify and classify. Scramble in the summer sky"
  3. " Instead of participating?" In this round, if you posted his entire filmography and what role he played in each movie, I'd have been forced to throw up my hands, unable to answer. I've heard of Joe Kennedy (the family patriarch, if I have the correct Joe, JFK's dad, and so on), and "Tom Buchanan" is a character in "The Great Gatsby" (assigned reading in high school.) BTW, I'm not THAT young, and we've all seen movies that the others here have NOT seen. I prefer to focus on what I think the other players can answer- which, of course, is no guarantee is what the other players CAN answer. Hollywood alone has had many, many actors, with most fading into obscurity over time without 1 or 2 roles to anchor them to fame and collective memory.
  4. Next song. 99 knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters. Every one's a super-hero, every one's a Captain Kirk."
  5. Jennifer Garner 13 Going On 30 Andy Serkis
  6. *looks him up and disqualifies himself* I've never seen ANY of his movies. I've barely heard his name.
  7. Um, "Dora the Explorer something something"????
  8. A lot of actors showed up in "LOVE AMERICAN STYLE."
  9. Ok, the other quotes may have sounded familiar, but I've thought that and never seen the movie. That last quote is definitely "Star Trek 3- the Search for Spock."
  10. With 20/20 hindsight, we know the difference NOW, But, at the time, I would have found an openly eclectic approach a selling=point. Of course, vpw was busy trying to convince people that the ONLY place to get answers was twi, so he went in the opposite direction. BTW, it would have been a better con if vpw had understood everything Stiles, Bullinger and Leonard had taught. He mashed together what he understood, and deprecated what he didn't understand.
  11. Ok. The wrestling part rang a bell. *thinks* 80s music.....David Byrne.... This is the Talking Heads doing "Wild Life."
  12. The pfal Foundational class was billed as "foundational." It would be more fair to the material to point out that the class is a mix of material from BG Leonard's class, Bullinger's books ("How To Enjoy the Bible" early on, "Gifts of the Holy Spirit" later on) abd Stiles' "Gifts of the Spiirit" book, along with a few things tossed in here and there. Then it should look a little disjointed- because it IS. Look- I'm an eclectic. I LIKE the idea of drawing from diverse backgrounds. That's a SELLING POINT to me- you did the work and are trying to get the best, or the most relevant, to present here and now. Unfortunately, this wasn't what was done with pfal- it was sort-of thrown together, and the main organizing of the thoughts was done by the people who transcribed and then edited vpw's ramblings, making it all look planned. Leonard's class was never meant for the common student- it was meant for the minister so he could go back and bless his congregation. Bullinger's books were never meant to be read by the common people- he wrote, as was common for his time, to the intelligentsia who could FIND his book. He and his contemporaries would do things like quote Latin in their books and never translate it to English, since all of them studied Latin in school and thought all their readers would do so in perpetuity (forever). Stiles was at a big conference of ministers, and probably spent more time there working with ministers. pfal was sold to the common people because that's where the money was. The others thought "Bless God's People" and acted accordingly. vpw thought "God's People are a comfortable living for me" and acted accordingly. So, his "Foundational" class misses a LOT that a STARTING Christian should learn, and this should NOW surprise no one.
  13. I get the feeling I should recognize "Mr Businessman" but the rest isn't ringing a bell. I might be missing a line somewhere.
  14. This is an advertisement, not a post. This is an advertising account, not a new poster who wants to discuss things.
  15. This movie was based on another story- which in turn was based on yet another story. ;) A similar production, called "Dearest Enemy", and another called "Arms and the Girl", predated this movie and its direct predecessor by decades. The script includes the line "If we give in on this issue, posterity will never forgive us." What was actually said was " If we give in on this issue, there will be trouble one hundred years hence. Posterity will never forgive us." It was not included in the movie's script because it seemed like unbelievably transparent foreshadowing and 20/20 hindsight, in other words, bad writing.....yet that's what was actually said. "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress!" "Gentlemen, forgive me if I don't join in the merriment, but if we are arrested now, my name is STILL THE ONLY ONE ON THE D* THING!"
  16. I've at least heard of George Strait, but I don't know ANY of his songs. C & W is not my usual fare.
  17. George meant that- and you can check the thread's first post- that we either post actors for someone to name a role they had in common, or we post roles for someone to name an actor they have in common.
