*wild swing* "The Big Lebowski"???
-
If it turns out to be "Shirley Temple". I'm going to be VERY surprised. Let's go with "MARILYN MONROE." (Norma Jean something.)
-
Wait a minute! If you've seen ONE crowded, polluted, STINKING town.....

Me, too. Let us know how you want to be addressed (like "Leah", or "Becoming", or "BeMe", or "Snoogy-Woogy Wips" or whatever. (Probably not that last one....) You might have a lot of questions which we might be able to answer. (Or you may not, which is fine.) If we can answer, we will. If you just need to vent with people who get it, well, this would be the place to vent. If there's anything else, well, we'll give it a shot. And we also play games if you just want to play,- see the Music/Movies/Books/Art forum. Stay as long as you need to, or want to.

Yes. Although I was going to switch songs by the same artist if everybody got stuck at this point.

So, Rocky, clear as mud, right? Still don't know what he meant. (I had an easier time with a poster whose 2nd language was English.)

"Can you hear them? They talk about us. Telling lies, Well, that's no surprise. Can you see them? See right through them? They have no shield, No secrets to reveal. It doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play." "There's a weapon That we must use. In our defense Silence reveals. When you look at them, Look right through them. That's when they'll disappear, That's when we'll be feared." "It doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play." "Give no mind to what they say. It doesn't matter anyway." "Hush, my darling, Don't you cry. Quiet, angel Forget their lies. Can you hear them? They talk about us. Telling lies, Well, that's no surprise. Can you see them? See right through them? They have no shield, No secrets to reveal." (Should be a lot easier now. I hope.)

"When you're that confident about the song, you can consider it confirmed and move on." I had no idea you had to "request a new password" every time you need to log in. I have no idea why that would happen. If it was chronic, I'd figure you'd work it out with the staff and eventually get that fixed or whatever.

If he'd wanted it, he would have taken it. It's your turn.

Is it insane that lcm caused so much hurt? It is not. It is human nature to be able to hurt people, and to be able to manipulate people, and to bully people. What's sad is that lcm had the capacity to skip all of those things, and chose not to. He instead chose to bully, manipulate, and hurt people. That's come out of the mouths of many witnesses, and should be considered a matter of public record. I'm curious what unhealthy thoughts on your part triggered a need to go to a discussion about lcm, where no one had posted for months, and renew interest in it, mainly by a vague suggestion that it was wrong to discuss lcm injuring people. (So, to say it was wrong to discuss him injuring people, you posted in a thread about him injuring people, causing people to return to discussing lcm injuring people. We were all doing other things these past several months before you brought this back up. And if that was some sad attempt to accuse ALL of the eyewitnesses and ALL of the victims of being liars, then it failed.

That's the movie. Jimmy Durante and all the other actors appreciate you remembering them.

You don't sound nearly angry enough.

That's fairly common in twi and in ex-twi communities, though. You might hear criticisms of people who volunteer and help others, but exhortations to help them are not nearly as common. They exist, but not in every group, and not all the time. The rank-and-file may already have more impressive track records on that sort of thing. When I was in college, I was in a service organization, and logged some 40 hours of community service, etc per semester (sometimes more.) After a few years of me doing that, the ex-twi group at the time discussed, at the leadership level, the idea that it's good to do that sort of thing. Shocking for all the twi-trained people. For me, the mention from a local leader that this sort of thing was good was in the "and the water was actually wet?" category. I agreed, mentioned I had a few YEARS of experience with that sort of thing, and offered to advise them and pass information if he needed any. He was polite, but his face was easy to read. You'd think I was offering to perform a necessary surgery for him in a garage or something. The idea that I might have actually gotten experience and training they lacked and needed, and got it from a secular source, that was either shocking, repugnant, or shockingly repugnant.

Not even close. (You might want to proceed westward to get there. No, no thanks, I think this thicket in the east is where I'll find the answer....) I've never seen anyone intentionally blow off a hint, then go in the opposite direction before.... George, I don't think you're the right person to try "following your nose."

If you think about the last quote, and think some more, you may either work out which plot this is, or remember one of the actors. I had wanted to use "Scavenger Hunt" this round, but I know that's neither a recent movie nor well-known, so I didn't think it was fair to use.
-
I really do prefer getting a confirmation of some kind before I go. Until then, it's still officially your turn. Since you're confirming it, I can move on with a clear conscience. :)

Uninteresting in a very specific way, for that matter. There's a common style for ex-twi. It can be done in a canned, artificial way, or in an interested, involved way. The latter is how people teach who actually care about who they're teaching and why. The former is how people in twi or ex-twi teach when they feel they're more important than the people they're supposedly teaching. It's accompanied by "phoning it in" in every way, with no remarkable insights marring the plastic teaching. In other words, this isn't even a GOOD ex-twi clone.

We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?" "Will you take us to Santa Rosita state park?" "What's the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?" "We had an accident. We fell into yellow, all right? Hurry up!" "Then what happens next? I'll tell you what happens: Then they all decide that I'm supposed to get a smaller share! That I'm somebody extra special stupid, or something! That they don't even care if it's a democracy! And in a democracy, it don't matter how stupid you are, you still get an equal share!" "Now for the last time. Are we calling Sylvester or not?" "No! We are not! And I'll tell you why not. Because your son Sylvester is an irresponsible, unreliable, big loudmouth no good bum! Who if he isn't a crook? It's because he doesn't have the brains or ambition even to become a crook!" "I must say, if I had the grievous misfortune to be a citizen of this benighted country, I should be the most hesitant at offering any criticism whatever of any other." "Wait a minute, are you knocking this country? Are you saying something against America?" "Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear of anything that could be said FOR it. Why, the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself, and the way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated. They're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis, while their women sit under hairdryers, eating chocolates and arranging for every second Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this wretched, godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all is this preposterous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like: if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight." "You want me to tell you something? As far as I'm concerned the whole British race is practically finished. If it hadn't been for lend-lease. If we hadn't have kept your whole country afloat by giving you billions that you never even said "Thank you" for, the whole phony outfit would be sunk right under the Atlantic years ago. What are you stopping for?" "Get out of this machine." "Get out? You can't..." "It's my machine, I will do as I bloody well please. Out!" "I'm awfully sorry. I've been very edgy today and if I said anything about England, I apologize." "Glad to hear you say so." "They're up to something funny, you hear what I'm telling you? Now, did you see the blonde I brought? All covered with paint and her dressed ripped. Now what was that all about?" "Yeah. And what about the picks and shovels?"

Right- the 1990 movie with Matt Salinger as Cap. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103923/?ref_=nv_sr_4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America_(1990_film) It could have been worse. The old movie serial had a normal cop who put on the costume and carried a gun.
-
I remember liking that the Cap series had Cap remember to wear his helmet when riding a motorcycle. Then again, if I saw the series now, I might be inspired to hurl. Some things age horribly. Clips of the Carol Burnett Show don't seem as funny as they used to. In other news, you might not be very far off, actually. BTW, direct to video doesn't mean "and it never aired on TV or cable", in case someone came to that conclusion somehow. I know it aired on cable here sometime in the past year or so.

Ronny Cox Ned Beatty Bill Mumy This movie was meant to be a major theatrical release. By the time it was 100% completed, it had been re-written and re-written, passed through many hands, and was released in the US as direct-to-video. Overseas, it had a limited theatrical release. It's held to be an awful movie all around. Ronny Cox once said the first script he read was the finest script he'd ever read, and he had no idea how they managed to make a bomb out of it by the time they were done.

So, I wonder when Human's going to... wait, it's my turn, isn't it? Let me think...
