Um, was this Elvis Presley singing "IN THE GHETTO"?

I learned how in Primary school, George. ;) (Let's see who gets it.)

Ah, you linked from PHANTOM MENACE to PHANTOM MENACE. Linking from there to Natalie Portman, and NP to "the Professional" were correct moves, but you need to add one other actor from that movie to complete the triple. The actor who played Leon is the obvious choice (at least it would be for me- I've never seen the movie and know exactly 2 actors from it, and you named one.)

As fans of SH, I speak for myself and the Mrs when I thank you for warning us away from this turkey. She dislikes Will Farrell to begin with, and doesn''t like O'Reilly, and the news just goes downhill from there.

Is this one of the "Mummy" films? I know there was a more recent Tom Cruise one or something, an attempt to use the Universal monsters for a shared universe.

All a bunch of Brits. Mark Gatiss works/ worked on Doctor Who and on Sherlock. Christopher Lee's done everything. the name "Rhys Ifans" rings a bell, faintly. Ok, the "most helpful actors" didn't include Jude Law and Martin Freeman, so I'm thinking this isn't John Watson. Likewise, I'd recognize the Sherlocks- Mrs Wolf is a bigger fan of SH than I am, so I at least can recognize a number of names of the Sherlocks. If Rhys Ifans worked/works on "Elementary" (which we stopped watching), that would explain why I've heard of him before. Stephen Fry definitely played MYCROFT HOLMES in "Sherlock Holmes- Game of Shadows." So, I'm thinking this is Mycroft Holmes, the brother to Sherlock Holmes, who works for the British Government, and is as smart as Holmes but a lot less excitable. This makes him valuable in government offices and in getting the work done, but both he and Sherlock freely admit he lacks the drive to chase down clues that Sherlock has (both a blessing and a curse, IMHO). (It's interesting, to me, to note that SH main characters don't seem to have kids. Sherlock and Mycroft seem confirmed bachelors and disinterested. John Watson doesn't seem to have had any despite at least 2 marriages- is that due to a wound he took in Afghanistan? Irene Adler, for all her marriages and whatnot, likewise seemed childless. One has to go far afield to find any canonical possibilities of a relative of SH making it to the present day. OTOH, Moriarity also seemed to have no kids.)

When I checked this morning, I had the button allowing me to post a question while logged out, and the thread showed the button allowing me to reply. So, in theory, someone can post a question to us without logging in, or reply to one. Obviously, the staff will be watching for potential vandalism, so this is (also obviously) an "experiment." There may be no problems, or one fool may ruin things for everyone as staff has to delete their stuff immediately. We'll all have to wait and see what happens.

Uh....there's this film that came out in the last few years, "in the tradition of the Kentucky Fried Movie", that is, filled with sketch comedy. I just heard about it the other day, in passing. Is that THIS movie, by chance?

Wild shot here.... "Finding Forrester"????

There's plenty of real horror stories among Momentus survivors. You are not overreacting. They're interested in filling all the seats and getting the money, not actually helping people.

If it's about practice and experience of faith, and not doctrine, with no preference for WHICH faith, how about "Walks of Faith" as a title? With a plural, there's no suggestion that this is about the One Right Walk of Faith, but the different paths followed by individuals.

*checks* Correct, on both title and artist! I was going to post Del Shannon's "Little Runaway," since "Running Down a Dream" mentioned it. Then I realized I could do a less obvious song, also from Del Shannon. Turns out both he and Dion DiMucci did "Runaround Sue". So, obviously, either was correct and it's George's turn. (I hope my internet's done being quarrelsome henceforth.)

My thoughts (which are probably worth what you paid for them) are along some simple lines. Perhaps this could be similar to the "Questioning Faith" subforum. That's meant to be a place to post in an agnostic or atheistic framework without getting static about that, so long as one is on-topic. Similarly, this could be a place to post in a theistic or monotheistic framework (depending on the focus, either for all faiths or more for "people of the Book" without getting static for that position, as long as one is on-topic. Naturally, people would have to agree to be courteous about other people's positions- no poking fun at someone who keeps a kosher table or sticks to halal, no cheap shots at those speaking in tongues (or not), and so on. This would at least provide a framework for discussions that left out, say, dragging off-topic to defend one's faith if that's not the topic (and that probably belongs in the main Doctrinal anyway), and would hopefully leave street corner rants and polemics in the main Doctrinal forum. I miss the Decaffeinated Politics forum because we could discuss things that were vaguely political but not prone to arguments (I posted on the anniversary of the Kent State 4 once.) Then again, that stuff might do just as well in Open now, depending on the subject. I went off-course. Anyway, I think dividing the discussions that way would encourage more discussions of that type. (Plenty of flame-wars certainly discouraged them in the past,)

Petty once said, of that song, that he'd stumbled across a riff that somehow escaped Led Zeppelin discovering it first. (Something to that effect, I don't have the exact wording.) Ok, next song. "She likes to travel around. She'll love you and she'll put you down. Now people let me put you wise- She goes out with other guys."

If the rules somewhere are truly so repugnant to someone that the feel they can't post there without clashing with the moderators or breaking them, the only sensible thing to do is to post elsewhere, and, if necessary, to make their OWN messageboard where they can A) make the rules B) deal with any repercussions if anything happens for any reason (technical, legal, etc) There is no constitutional right to post on this or any other messageboard.

My internet connection's a little wonky, but I'll give it a shot at posting. This is the great guitar riff and accompanying song. "Running Down a Dream," by Tom Petty. It was one of the hits off of "Full Moon Fever."

Just to say I asked, Tony Shaloub?

James Cameron's career possibly took off after this film. He and Gale Ann Hurd both worked on this film, other films later, and a marriage. "Space Raiders" re-used a lot of the effects (plus the score), and "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" reused the score. There were some Jewish inside jokes. Some alien script was Hebrew, one character was "GELT", and his assistants were "URIM" and "THUMMIM." Nestor (all 5 we met) agree to fight for Akir because, as a hive mind, they are never surprised, and need to find interesting things to do. Gelt was rich, but a wanted man everywhere (for the same reason.) So, he worked for the Akir for a place he could sit down, eat decent food, and hide without having to watch his back. Space Cowboy, of Earth, was played by George Peppard. Naturally, the character smoked cigars. Robert Vaughn's "Gelt" was based on his character in "the Magnificent Seven", complete with some repeated dialogue. BTW, I would have gotten it just from the Valkyrie's quote. She had a fast, maneuverable ship. She could outfly other ships even if they were much better armed. Shooting them down, however, is a lot harder that way. George's turn!

RIGHT! In Spanish, it's sometimes known as "The Magnificent Seven in Space." Sometimes Spanish movie titles make more sense than the English, sometimes less. Sometimes they're the same or approximately the same. This movie was Roger Corman's attempt to capitalize on Star Wars' success and make a space flick, using the same strategy "The Magnificent Seven" did. Instead of turning Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" into a Western, he turned it into an SF flick.

From what we've seen, vpw never actually DENIED the Holocaust. Behind closed doors, he said Hitler had the right idea and that the US fought on the wrong side in WW2. He recommended books, and echoed books- that said the modern Jews were not the historical Jews (proven wrong since then), and that the numbers of deaths in the Holocaust were greatly exaggerated (if anything, they were UNDERstated.) I don't know if actually DENYING the Holocaust would be worse than all that, but I've never heard of him actually deny the Holocaust.

-There's a director and producer that worked on "Terminator", "Aliens", and "The Abyss". They met working on THIS film. (Not as producer nor director.) -The executive producer normally worked on lower-budget films than this, but the film zeitgeist that year suggested this setting of film might also be an automatic success if made, so he was granted a real budget for this one. -Among the extras was comedienne Kathy Griffin, in her first acting role as anything in a film. -A number of the special effects made for this movie were later reused in a low-budget film, as was the score (in that and in ANOTHER low-budget film.) -One character's assistants are named "Urim" and "Thummim". -John Saxon -Sybil Danning -Sam Jaffe -Robert Vaughn -Richard Thomas -George Peppard -This film was not a cowboy film. (This is a comment on the setting and the genre, not a comment on the dramatis personae.) -This film was not a Japanese period piece. -Despite being a rubbish negotiator, the protagonist managed to hire 2 people based on (1) avoiding being "bored to death", and (2) "a meal and a place to hide." "Is that real smoke you're putting into your lungs?" "Yup. And before ya ask, it is the worst thing in the world for me." "Well, I don't think you should do it." The natives of Akir are known as the Akira. There's a perfectly good reason for the Powers That Be to make a nod to Akira Kurosawa. Robert Vaughn's character was based on a different character he played in a different movie, complete with a few of the same lines. "Shad, did you see me on the monitor? There was a drone right on my tail. I pulled out; he smashed into an asteroid! " "We are Nestor." "All of you?"
