This IS "the Avengers". Or "Bowler hat and leather boots", or "With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler Hat" or "A Revolver and a Bowler Hat", depending on which language you used to watch the show. John Steed worked alongside several partners, including Emma Peel and Tara King.

This show's original run covered the 60s in its entirety- but the syndication only covered the later part of the 60s. Decisions to end syndication by the networks signaled the end of the series because that crippled the show's budget. It featured 2 main characters- which ones changed as the series progressed. Its greatest successes where when it was treated as a light comedy and not a serious show of any kind, and they freely adapted old episodes and old movies for plots-which worked for them. At one point, Pierre Cardin was designing for both main characters. The French title for the series mentions leather boots, the Polish one mentions a revolver (both of one character) while both also mention the hat worn by the other character.

Ok, got another stealth triple. In this TV-movie, a domestic terrorist and sociopath targets the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team. An FBI Special Agent, desperate to catch him, enlists the aid of a panel of prosthetic makeup artists, who compete to see who is the best-qualified to help him disguise himself as and impersonate a rookie on the team. Stars include Art Hindle, John Vernon, and Nicolas Cage.

Good quotes, both from "Austin Powers- International Man of Mystery." In fact, the latter is probably my favorite quote from the movie.

The main characters now are Character A and Character B. Now, they're Character B and Character C. Now, they're Character B and Character H. (That type of thing, with 2 leading roles at a time.)

Are you kidding? I just showed Mrs Wolf some drawings of Ra's (from the "Legacy" storyline), and she agreed that Siddig had it down except for the chin-hair. Frankly, if someone told me Siddig had sat and posed for reference drawings of Ra's for that storyline (the only Ra;s stuff I have handy), I would totally believe it. He has the hair down to a tee,and his facial structure and skin tone are a match. I even think Ra's should sound either Middle Eastern or British, depending on the interpretation.

That's it. Your turn.

I've been out of the discussion for a while, but I've a few things to say now. First of all, reducing EVERYTHING to dualities and polarizing them is bad. There are many issues where the extremes are wrong and the truth is in the middle. We've touched on a few here. Concerning the twi approach to Psychology and Psychiatry, there's at least 2 problems with it. One, inadequate preparation for even basic first aid. They had a person have some sort of episode, and the response was neither "give medical attention" nor "get him to the hospital and let THEM give medical attention." This was never corrected with a medical contingency for when hundreds of people lived on grounds. The second thing was that all the actual "psychology" the did was neither TRAINED nor COMPREHENSIVE. It was the result of READING A SINGLE BOOK- Jay Adams' "Competent to Counsel", and that was the entirety of their preparation. Now, his "nouthetic" technique, IMHO, would work well for certain people, less well for certain other people, and horrendously for everyone with an actual physical problem. Counseling someone for a chemical imbalance is like counseling someone for a broken arm. Now, if they're given the right chemicals, THEN some counseling might be of great use. However, treating them without the medication is as effective as treating ANYTHING and leaving out the necessary medication. twi's method is lazy, ineffective, and criminally negligent. It is true that the other extreme is equally bad- just dumping chemicals on people and sending them off. Many people seem to have had that as well- given medication and no counseling alongside the medication. That can be as bad as no medication alongside the counseling. However, the answer is neither "stop giving medication" nor "stop counseling", but use both in harmony. Scientology denigrates Psychiatry even more than twi does-because more Psychiatry means more people who can't be fleeced by their groups- and Scientology masks itself as a psychological treatment program among other things. According to Scientology, it would be a benefit to get ALL the psychiatric patients OFF drugs. I've known some nice Christians who WERE on psychiatric medications, and you'd never guess it to know from them. I know what they'd say about dropping the medication. True-if they were healed, they wouldn't need the drugs any more. So, don't like them taking drugs? Heal them. Don't expect Scientologists to do it, either. They don't believe in faith healing. As to solving everyone's problems with enough Bible verses, I'd have to disagree. James 2:15-16 (NASB) 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, [o]be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? I think the answer is plain-that sometimes actions are called for. (If you're unsure, James 2 goes into that pretty clearly.)

I'm catching up on some stuff. Almost caught up on Gotham, about a week behind on Arrow, Flash and Legends because I watch them with the Mrs. I will probably catch up on Supergirl, then drop the series and try to see Gifted and Inhumans and see if either is worth the time. I'll need at least a season to catch up to Agents of SHIELD. For the slow seasons or if I catch up, I'll see the Marvel netflix stuff. I made it through Iron Fist at least. (Bride of 9 Spiders was at least visually correct- I identified her when she appeared for the fight.) BTW, it was nice to see Alexander Siddig on Gotham- especially because he looked EXACTLY like the character should be expected to look.

"You'll be seeing a lot of changes around here. Papa's got a brand new bag." "No more drugs for that man." "OOEEEE, you're good lookin'! You're hot! It's like looking in a mirror, only not." "Troy?" "Now that is between us. OK?" "But you were, were, uh..." "In a coma? Nothing like having your face cut off to disturb your sleep! Read the newspaper lately?"

Ok, Googling's permitted by now. Wow, amazing who's in this one. I'll take a hard turn, though. Tim Burton The Muppet Movie Steve Martin

Ok, that was "Maleva the Gypsy", Maria Ouspenskaya's classic character. FREE POST.

twi's running on inertia, and retaining people who were introduced in the 70s and 80s when there were real Christians on the field. Without that, they've got squat, and they haven't HAD squat for well over a decade. twi has nothing to induce GROWTH in any sizeable numbers, and is dying off as members get old and are kicked out as liabilities, or just plain drop dead even if they decide to stick around due to inertia.

Since you've written out the full name before, I knew it was fair game. In other news, your turn!

His most famous roles were probably Charlie Chaplin and Tony Stark, both of which are in the list of roles I posted. So, yes, Robert Downey Jr. He was in a lot of stuff, wasn't he? I was getting ready to add Sherlock Holmes, if that was really needed.

No, LT was one of many who may have repeated the first quote, but exactly one character says the second- the character who is the first to say the first quote.

These are all roles. And you're not paying attention.

Hello there! (I keep forgetting to check this forum so I tend to arrive late to the party.) Glad to have you aboard! " My mom first go involved with it back in the 70s/80s in Northern California and then sought it out again in NC when she was going through a particularly tough time in her life." As I see it, twi was a handful of people until the end of the 1960s. vpw read about those hippie Christians who were getting lots of attention and young recruits. He went to Southern Cal and managed to con a handful of Christians in a legitimate Christian movement, and convince them that he was part of one also. So, they became the recruiting arm of twi. He sent them to NY and California. People in both places got exposure to legitimate Christians with love and power, who claimed (falsely but naively) that twi was part of the answers rather than some parasite hanging off those with the answers. So, people exposed to THEM joined, and those people recruited others, and so on. The experience on the field was almost a completely different organization than the experience from twi HQ and so on. The closer anyone got to HQ, the more damaged they got. The closer people from HQ got to people on the field, the more damaged they got (the people on the field.) About 1988-1989 was when craig managed to chase off 80% of the remaining membership. With them left pretty much anyone who'd "descended" from those original Christians, and since then, all twi has had was a legalistic organization that cracks the whip and forces conformity. So, if anything has changed most radically over the decades (and there have been changes), I would say the biggest one was bringing in the legitimate Christians, and chasing off the legitimate Christians. In between was telling people that those people's successes were due to twi and not completely unrelated to twi itself. That's how your Mom got hooked. She remembered legitimate Christians from the 70s/80s who were all chased off by the 90s, and didn't notice the difference. (I went to ROA 88 and ROA 89, before and after the big chase-off, and the difference was shocking. Like a number of people, I exited completely at the end of ROA 89.) I'm sorry you had to live through twi post-Christianity.
