If Raf doesn't get it and nobody else chimes in with the full answer, I would recommend T-Bone get it as the closest correct answer achieved without looking it up (and being disqualified like I did.)

You are correct! I had no idea that show was that widely shown. I only saw it broadcast on Spanish TV when I grew up. (I found it recently online.) Can you guess any of the others, while we're on the subject, or do you just want to post the next one?

"Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation. It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation."

Ok, here's another multiple-choice round. Answer any to take the round. A) Here was a cartoon for a kid who can't wait for the next Olympics. 3 teams of cartoon characters, competing in challenges with each other all over the world. Next week, they go all over the world to do it again. B) This was a cartoon about a Canadian mountie, and had no connection whatsoever with Dudley-Do-Right. C) De Patie-Freling produced this team of a half-dozen superheroes, who apparently were for hire, even their trainee who rode a flying guitar. D) This Middle Eastern team included a strongman, an acrobat, a disguise expert, and 2 magicians, not counting the cute animal. E) This hero-and-sidekick team had a martial artist sidekick, and a superhero with a themed car. The hero's theme was NOT insect-based.

I'll chime in and say I had no idea about either half. I looked up the Nicole Kidman thing and I've never heard of it other than when I looked it up. I have no idea what it could link up with.

When it comes to figuring out what someone's thinking, 2 completely mundane methods are the COLD READ and the HOT READ. Both are used by so-called psychics all the time. The COLD READ begins with generic messages that could apply to most people, while the mentalist watches all the reactions of the person, and tailors his responses accordingly. "I see him dressed formally.... *person hesitates as if that's incorrect*....which is odd because I sense he normally doesn't dress up." The person gives things away in their reactions, and often in the responses they give. Someone saying that a child is in trouble may get the pigeon to blurt out a name-after which it's incorporated into the reading. The next thing they know, the person's agreeing to pay lots of money because they're convinced the mentalist knew things. A HOT READ is rarer, but more effective, especially when added to a cold-read. In a Hot Read, the mentalist has gotten ahold of information about the other person, like a diary, or an autobiography ("From Birth to the Corps") or someone else hands them a personal history of the pigeon. It's FAR more effective because the person has no clue that the mentalist has a mundane information source so they're more convinced. (Like when someone told cg about some problems at HQ, and the clueless people automatically assumed that God Almighty snitched on their issues because they couldn't imagine a mundane reason he would know-but we had the person who told him speak up to us, and also to them when they started imagining that.) Depending on the specifics, the skill of the mentalist, and the gullability of the audience, a mentalist can develop quite a following. We had a thread where both types were demonstrated (mostly the cold read in its most basic form) in response to the supposed "personal prophecy" nonsense that ces/stfi peddles and refuses to discuss. We saw how easy it is to set up the basics for that and make it look like it's really special knowledge of the pigeon. (Raf also demonstrated the "hot read" at one point, purely as illustration.) "Step Right Up, Get your own Personal Prophecy" was the thread.

Next round. Name the role. Ted Knight Danny Dark Lennie Weinrib

Another quote might help.

We may not know this one.

Indeed. At least one poster once said that vpw called her in to put the moves on her-and had her "From Birth to the Corps" paper IN HIS HAND when she arrived. Can't get much more overt than that.... I never thought about OTHER PEOPLE having access to those. If I'd ever had to write one, I'm sure I deliberately would have left some things out and invented some things specifically for privacy and revelation reasons- if they know the actual and not the written version, they might know by revelation....

Welcome! Many or most of us have been there. Even down to the "CoC in Upper Manhattan" thing. (They really liked Upper Manhattan, apparently.) Hope you like it here. If you want, you can even join the games we're playing. They're currently paused because we're all watching the Olympics, but I think that's going to taper off by Monday morning, so it's a good time to join the games. Whether or not you do, feel free to join in any discussion and share your thoughts-even if they're unpopular. It's nice to be free to agree to disagree.

Been following the Olympics!

Look at the end of the post. Hit "quote." Seems equivalent to me. Actually, I'm more annoyed by the inability to start a new line without skipping a line. That's obviously a formatting issue.

Vague memory of an 80s flick... "Black Moon Rising Sun"? Some movie about a car. Something moon rising. Saw it in the theater and that was it.

Mrs Wolf and I agree Jinx was played by Halle Berry in a Pierce Brosnan film. She said it was his second, which I THINK is "Die Another Day." We think she survives. Octopussy is from "Octopussy", and we THINK she survives. Vesper Lind, my memory surfaced. She was in the reboot of "Casino Royale", I THINIK she died.

Replying SOLELY to its use in Psychology, At best, it's a band-aid solution. With compulsive behaviors troubling the patient, it is possible to use hypnosis to TEMPORARILY mask a symptom, but then therapy must take over. The hypnosis, at best, buys time to continue treatment and get lasting results. That having been said, for anything less than that, I consider using hypnosis or other forms of mind control to be akin to using a hammer to kill a flea. It's not good for the mind for someone to try to hack into it.

Ok, so at least part of the time, he just called it "Princeton," and probably more than 1/2 the time, he called it "Princeton Theological". That's what I really wanted to know. This is striking against something peculiar. At some point in his ramblings, vpw said some things about getting awarded his doctorate while still working on his masters- which doesn't match the twi timelines. When trying to remember the specifics, I recall he mentioning the phrase "of Divinity" at least once there. By that, I mean he either said he was working on, or granted, a "Masters of Divinity", a "Doctorate of Divinity", or both. Does anyone else recall something like that? It's not in the official timeline. Then again, his claim of taking all of Moody's available correspondence classes isn't listed in their official timeline, and he definitely claimed that (it's in TW:LiL, for example.) It would not surprise me if he claimed he had a Masters and a Doctorate in both Divinity and Theology, as well as a PhD in Theology (a PhD as well as a ThD). We know he claimed to teach at some campus he visited-and was a guest-speaker, which is the work of an hour, not the work of a semester or 2.

On the one hand, Princeton Theological Seminary is a real organization. Plotinus and Goey have both mentioned it's respected in theological circles (thus, was no diploma mill, unlike Pike's Peak.) On the other hand, it lacks the name recognition among the public and cachet that Princeton University has. I, personally, heard lcm say "Princeton" and leave people presuming vpw went to Princeton University. I supposed he got that from vpw since it's right out of his playbook (IMPLY a lie when you can rather than say it), but never actually heard vpw say it. You heard vpw say that one, that he went to "Princeton" and left it at that? (I'd appreciate confirmation, since I have "he said stuff LIKE this" and "sounds like what he'd say", but none of that is conclusive.

I thought it was "trust me", but I thought he confirmed his quote so I just trusted him. I went from memory also, but that particular line stayed with me. (Saw it 4x in the theater, 2x on 2 different days, back when.)

I think part of it is "Rising Sun."

Ok, I'm almost useless with this list, but here's what I've got. Goodnight was in "Man With the Golden Gun." She survived to the closing credits and showed signs of being very healthy at that point. Bibi Dahl was in "For Your Eyes Only", and survived, AFAIK. She's not the official Bond girl, so this movie has another woman, but I don't remember which. (Corinne duFour???) The other one survives, also. Strawberry Fields is from one of the Daniel Craig ones, possibly "Spectre."

This movie featured a return of the title character to the big screen (but was not a sequel.) The title character appears 48 minutes into the film. The title is first heard 1 hour, 33 minutes into the film. Superman had been in the theaters, serialized (not in a feature film, so I phrased this awkwardly.) Christopher Reeve appears in the movie 48 minutes in, and is only named 'Superman' when Lois composes her exclusive. The title character's tagline (an alternate version) is illustrated, in parts, across the movie. The actor who portrayed the title character the previous time he was in cinema had a cameo in this movie. Clark catches a bullet fired at Lois, (later circling the Earth in seconds), outraces a train and saves another when its track is gapped, rescues Lois and returns the helicopter to the roof in one motion. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. A variation of that was "able to soar higher than any plane!" and he carried the missile to the end of the Earth's atmosphere.

Ratzenberger was in air traffic control (and mission control in the second movie.) Hagman was the General moving the nuke by truck. If Hoover Dam was really in danger, there would be no risk of flooding nearby towns downstream. In the movie, however, there were towns downstream of the dam where there are none IRL. If Air Force One lost ONE engine, it would still fly fine and need no rescue. Air Force One is only AF1 when the US President is aboard, so there's no need to announce that they're Air Force One and the President is aboard.

"Fly. Don't look, just...fly. We got something out there. I'm not saying what. Just...something." Correct. And Noel Neill played Lois Lane's mom. (Lois was the girl who saw the boy outrun her train.)

Taking a semi-wild swing here, is this "Terminator:Salvation Run"?
