  1. I think I'm caught up with Supergirl and LoT, and exactly 1 behind on Arrow, Flash and Powerless. Since this will be a short week, we should have little trouble watching the remaining episodes and possibly any that air in the next few days.
  2. IIRC, the third movie's soundtrack includes a song by that name. I get practice with alternate movie titles when I channel-surf. On 2 different channels, one of them was showing "Airplane 2-the Sequel" while another was showing "Where is the Pilot 2". Their plots were oddly similar, as were their casts. And release years.
  3. Yes. I was about to start adding clues to your other reply. In LotR:FotR, Gandalf said both lines as he faced The Balrog. Myself, I would have gotten it from either, since even "Fly, you fools!" was an oft-remembered line by fans.
  4. Brain finally kicked in an answer. Is this "I'm Just Sitting Here Watching the Wheels Go Round and Round", and, if so, is this a Beatles song?
  5. The movie that IS known here as "Pistolero" is "Desperado", the semi-sequel to "El Mariachi."
  6. Apparently, I don't know who's under the Vigilante gunman's mask, but I know who's under the Prometheus mask. BTW, the scene before they revealed that, I began to get suspicious because they dropped a clue in the dialogue.
  7. We liked it. Then again, we've been watching "the Calypso Singer"- the cartoon someone made to Stan Freberg's audio skit of the Banana Boat song, for a few months. Every time they let Garber sing, so far it's been something we were recently caught up on. (We all saw "the Sound of Music" last year.) Not all gags will appeal to all or even most of the audience. I still think "Darmok and Julad at Tenagra!" was one of the funniest moments of any DC series, but it obviously appealed to a very small audience. We're still catching up all around, but we've seen "Duet" in Flash (and the Supergirl episode that led into it), Arrow's "Fight Fire With Fire", Legends "Moonshot", So we are approximately up on Supergirl and Powerless and Big Bang Theory. The others, it's a horse-race.
  8. And utilized the 3 established singers in musical numbers. Barrowman was the best-but then he's done Broadway-level shows.
  9. It's "Warner" here, but IIRC, the NYC channel wasn't using "CW" when I left, so I thought they were all just sort-of going with a Warner connection, so I guessed it was back to WB. And Supergirl started on Warner here and stayed here. Warner's got BBT, plus all the DC shows. Sony has SHIELD and Legion. Warner will premiere "Riverdale" soon, and nobody's airing "Powerless", I think. (But we're all caught up on it because we think it's cheese-tastic. I loved the explanation involving "Pedro.")
  10. For the curious,. Mason Capwell was from "Santa Barbara", Gsry Buckman from "Parenthood" and Luke Brower from "Growing Pains", all TV shows. Tobias Wolff was from "This Boy's Life", Jim Carroll from "The Basketball Diaries", and Arthur RImbaud from "Total Eclipse." Arnie Grape was Gilbert Grape's brother, Fee "the Kid" Herod was from "the Quick and the Dead," Brandon Darrow was from "Celebrity", Amsterdam Vallon was from "Gangs of New York," William Costigan was from "The Departed", Danny Archer was from Blood DIamond", Roger Ferris was from "Body of Lies",. Frank Wheeler was from "Revolutionary Road and Dominick Cobb was from "Inception." Which roles did you recognize, H w/o B?

  12. "You cannot pass! I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow. You shall not pass!" "Fly, you fools!"

  16. Never heard of the show, but from the title, it was obviously about card-playing ("a stacked deck.")
  17. " However, I've given up trying to steer any further discussion of this towards a consideration of what effect or benefits Paul might have written in scripture about SIT. (None here appear to have any interest in or concern about that, as long as there's no "proof" of a language.) " If we were discussing the Gifts of Healings, and you came in, and insisted they referred to the miraculous deliverance that occurred after bed-rest and drinking fluids, we wouldn't consider that an appropriate direction to "steer" the discussion. There's a demonstrable difference between an instant miracle of healing (or a healing in seconds rather than days, say) and what anyone else can do. And if the mundane was labelled "The Gifts of Healings" by your favorite teacher, the only real connection between them would be the label that was added to the mundane. It does a disservice to the supernatural. It is an insult to the miraculous. And if it's the best you can do if someone's looking to discuss something GENUINELY miraculous, then it certainly makes it look like you've got squat rather than a divine connection.
  18. Not everyone's going to want to get into your personal journey. Even if they did, it's easy to go from curiosity into what ends up becoming barbed, even if it was never intended. But not everyone will want to get that personal. I never got into you about my own journey, and you never asked why I went into the Summer of 1985 as anti-Christian and openly contemptuous about the Bible (and all "holy" books) and returned from that Summer trying to memorize that self-same Bible. More recently, I'd wondered if I'd done you a disservice by keeping the strangest and most odd things from you, even when they happened under your nose. I concluded that I'd take responsibility for your journey if I thought so, and I certainly respect your right to make your own decisions and draw your own conclusions.
  19. You cannot pass! I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow. You shall not pass!"

  21. Based on what I've seen, the stuff I've seen/done in twi/ in the twi style bears little real resemblance to the Biblical practice. That means I have neither seen nor done the Biblical practice. I am open to the idea that it is still "available", but I'm not going to just run up and embrace the next new thing as actually that. I'm going to give it a long, hard look and see if it can pass for the Biblical thing before forming an INFORMED OPINION. So, you can call me "agnostic" as to whether it CAN be done now. I say the twi-style thing is NOT it. If it's practiced elsewhere in the correct manner, that would be WELCOME NEWS to me-which I would examine very, very closely because the stakes are too high to just leap to another conclusion.
  22. It's embarrassing that this point still has to be made, when even vpw made it one of the most basic ones. The Biblical SIT was unintelligible TO THE SPEAKER. He trusted that God provided an utterance, and God responded by providing an utterance in a language the speaker did not speak. In Acts 2, the Jewish eyewitnesses were rather clear that they understood the meaning of what those Galileans were saying, in a variety of languages, and that they were confused because they didn't think it was perfectly normal for them to have known more than a dozen represented languages, which they were speaking correctly. So, Paul was clear that HE didn't understand tongues when he prayed alone. (Potentially, if someone eavesdropped on his private prayer, they might have understood every word-providing the utterances were provided in a language they knew but Paul did not.) If you don't want Raf to think anyone's attacking him, stop making personal attacks on him. That should improve his mood considerably. Making the thread about him is just another smokescreen. BTW, in case I haven't repeated it enough, I'm a Christian who is now fully persuaded that the "SIT" we were taught is nothing like the Biblical example- but I'd sure like to find the real thing if it's actually out there here and now.
  23. Not phrased precisely that way, no. However, without identifiable languages, both the incidents in Acts 2 (Pentecost) and Acts 10 (household of Cornelius and the first Gentile converts) would be forgotten moments in history where some people prayed and then went their separate ways.
