Ok, the Timecop one had me, but this should be "the Fantastic Four." Alex Hyde-White played a Mr Fantastic whose movie never hit the theaters. Stan Lee mentioned it in "Stan's Soapbox" and said it was coming soon, and that's the last he ever said about it, IIRC.
-
That's it, of course. Heather's recorded apology's been ripped off since then. And there's ANOTHER sequel hitting the theaters.
-
Human was correct. King Arthur and knights approached Camelot ("It's only a model.") King Arthur said they were going there. Then there was a musical number ("We're Knights of the Round Table...") . At the end of the song, Arthur said the line I quoted.
-
A shame. Some people (I would expect a lot) think this was his best song.
-
No, this was not a comedy. And I included its most famous line, from a moment that's been parodied since. And this movie's had at least 1 sequel already.
-
"On second thought, let's NOT go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place."

""Let's not call him "the Captain," you illiterate TV people. It's "the Skipper." "I gave you back the map, Heather." "I gave you the map." "I gave you BACK...THE MAP." "We need to do an equipment check." "Right. I've got a bag of Utz and a beer." "I just want to apologize to Mike's mom, Josh's mom, and my mom. And I'm sorry to everyone. I was very naive. I am so so sorry for everything that has happened. Because in spite of what Mike says now, it is my fault. Because it was my project and I insisted. I insisted on everything. I insisted that we weren't lost. I insisted that we keep going. I insisted that we walk south. Everything had to be my way. And this is where we've ended up and it's all because of me that we're here now - hungry, cold, and hunted. I love you mom, dad. I am so sorry. What is that? I'm scared to close my eyes, I'm scared to open them! We're gonna die out here!"

"May The Good Lord be with you Down every road you roam. And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home. And may you grow to be proud Dignified and true. And do unto others As you'd have done to you." "May good fortune be with you, May your guiding light be strong. Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond. And may you never love in vain." "And when you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well. For all the wisdom of a lifetime No one can ever tell. But whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you- win or lose."

Maybe you should have added Arnie's accent. "Kindergarten Cop." Another line that can be recognized without having seen the movie. (I've never seen the movie, and I know the line well from the commercials.)
-
Next movie. "Let's not call him "the Captain," you illiterate TV people. It's "the Skipper." "I gave you back the map, Heather." "I gave you the map." "I gave you BACK...THE MAP."

God bless you. Here's some things you may want to know. 1) This messageboard has Christians of a variety of beliefs, as well as non-Christians and atheists, Almost all will agree that getting someone out of twi is something they'd like to help if possible-or at least agree with. If you can only relate to Christians with your exact self-same beliefs, you won't empathize with us much. I suspect you can at least get useful information from those of us you'd be comfortable labeling as errant Christians of one form or another, so I'll offer what advice and information I can. 2) Last we heard, twi has an employee read all the posts here, so assume they're reading this thread and trying to figure out who and what. Some of us (like me) will be willing to communicate with you by private messages here (pm's) in order to keep "the WayGB" (our nickname for their thought police) from reading everything. 3) Lots of people reported that they were recommended to cut all ties with all family who didn't join-and only contact them to invite them to events or try to get them to pay for things. (No, I'm not making that up. They recommend no savings for college/a house/retirement, and suggest begging "unbeliever" family members for money for college as well as discouraging college.) When many of us woke up, having cut all ties with our family and friends made it harder to leave twi, so keeping avenues of communication open-and pathos- will assist when she decides to exit. A lot of this was harder before the internet, but lines of communication can remain open so long as she doesn't live "on-grounds" at their headquarters, where communication is crippled AND monitored. So, yes, stay in touch and consistent that you can be contacted no matter what. (Remember the "Prodigal Son"/"Forgiving Father" if you need a motivation,) 4) twi, like all thought-control groups, has its own little vocabulary, some of which changes over the decades. Some of it is documented here: I'd recommend lots of reading-up. We have lots of resources. I personally recommend some threads meant specifically for new arrivals. (I'm also partial to them because I started them-but I started them because I thought new arrivals could really, really use them. Besides the thread above, I recommend the "Wonderland" threads. "The Way-Living in Wonderland" took a look at twi's own promotional book, "The Way-Living in Love", with lots of commentary and corrections, and ended with attempts at a twi timeline. vpw/ victor paul wierwille was the man who founded twi. He chose his successor, lcm/loy craig martindale- as much for his willingness to follow commands to jump off a cliff as anything else. After lcm took over, he released his own book, "VP and Me." It contained a lot of details of vpw's life when the cameras were off-accidentally exposing some of the asinine things he's said. "VP and Me in Wonderland" discussed that book. I also separated out the vpw timeline as a separate thread for easy reading, in "A VPW HIstorical Timeline." I think you'll have even more questions after reading through those threads, but they'll be better questions. :) Ok, links to the other threads. Feel free to contact me by pm's with questions of every kind even vaguely related to twi.

If you don't mind. That rule was as much for technical reasons as for theatrical releases being more famous (generally) than mini-series'. So, if you'd be so kind?
-
*checks* Gregory Peck was in the 1956 film. William Hurt was in the 2011 mini-series. Do mini-series count if they never had a theatrical release?
-
That's it, Episode 7. The commercials kept showing that line, probably because it proved to the fans that Harrison Ford appeared in the movie.

Here's a pair of links about the pushy people we referred to in the first 2 posts: http://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/30/nyregion/ex-members-compare-campus-ministry-to-a-cult.html http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=269&Itemid=8 Please make a new thread somewhere if you want to continue this discussion.

It's probably the most-identifiable line of one of them, certainly the line that appeared the most in promotional clips and commercials.

We're getting off-topic here, but since you asked... The first post mentioned "Church of Christ" and the 2nd replied with "CoC." It's another independent religious group that reads the Bible and meets in homes sometimes. It apparently had a splinter group, "NYC Church of Christ" that resembled young twi a LOT more, with pushy evangelicals and high turnover and lots of arrogance. (I would have been a lot more forgiving of the arrogance if they were really as hot as they thought they were, but it really was a lot of hot air and Sociology.) So, in NYC, there were at least 2 groups using "Church of Christ" as their name, one with "NYC" in front, and one not. The initial poster and I had run-ins with the "NYC" branch, and Raf probably never realized there were 2 similar groups with almost identical names.
