Oh, that's, um, Uma Thurman.

Not even close.

You might as well go. Raf will return eventually, and generally appreciates it if someone moves the thread along.

Any chance this was "Scarlett Johansen"??????

Let's see.... A Marvel movie that was a political thriller. Anthony Mackie (I always get his first name wrong) appearing as the Falcon. This is probably "Captain America- Winter Soldier."

How about "Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio"??????

Ok, next round. ============================== No matter who was the target audience of the show, few people seem to remember "Dixie." They DO remember "Bo Peep", but rarely by that code-name. Most also forget the "Lost Sheep" and "Shepherd" by their code-names, but remember them by their actual names. (The names of the characters, not the actors, in case that wasn't clear.)

This prequel to a very popular show (itself a re-imagining of another sci-fi show decades earlier) centers on the happenings of one planet of the Twelve Colonies of Kobal. Due to low ratings, the show was cancelled without showing the final five episodes. All episodes are available on DVD. ["Battlestar Galactica" reimagined the classic 70s show of the same name. IIRC, the prequel show was named "CAPRICA", a name of one of the 12 colonies (at least in the classic.) ] This show centers around Bo, a succubus, and all sorts of good and bad fae (werewolves, gnomes, valkyries, etc. The voice-over introduction to each episode is: "Life is hard when you don't know who you are. It's harder when you don't know what you are. My love carries a death sentence. I was lost for years, searching while hiding; only to find that I belong to a world hidden from humans. I won't hide anymore. I will live the life I choose." [That's "Lost Girl." I might watch it, if SyFy here airs it. I watched a little when it was a new show. A "lost" faerie, who was given the choice of joining either the Winter Court or Summer Court, and chose "NEITHER". Except they didn't call the courts "Winter and Summer" nor "Unseelie and Seelie", but "Light and Shadow", I think.] This series follows five people with superhuman abilities, led by noted neurologist and psychiatrist Lee Rosen (David Strathairn), as they investigate criminal cases involving other suspected super-powered people. Rosen and his team operate under the auspices of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the criminal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Defense. While investigating these crimes, it does not take the team too long to discover that a group known as "Red Flag", which was thought defeated and eliminated long ago, is using other super-powered people to commit crimes. Incidentally, I found out that this series had been cancelled when its cancellation was mentioned on "The Big Bang Theory." [IIRC, Sheldon was going nuts trying to find out the conclusion to "ALPHAS" and wanted another season just to resolve the story.]

CORRECT. "The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead backfires by increasing public awareness of the information. The effect is named for American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress a photographer's publication of a photograph showing her clifftop residence in Malibu, California, taken to document coastal erosion in California, inadvertently drew far greater attention to the previously obscure photograph.[" "The Streisand effect is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, they are significantly more motivated to acquire and spread it." That's courtesy of the wikipedia page on the effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

No. Does Busey actually mind if people know where he lives? Most celebrities might, but he might not.

"YouTube is free. YouTube “entrepreneurs” need about 250k subscribers to even make a partial living, which is about 150k more than the greatest reach the cult ever had. He is at 500. " [Sorry, I need to correct that. As always, vpw wildly exaggerated his importance. He claimed the 100,000 figure as total number of people who EVER SIGNED UP for pfal. That number is higher than the number of people who showed up for Session 1, which is higher than the number of people who showed up for Session 12 and "graduated", which is higher than the number of people who stuck around for at least 3 months after that, which is higher than the number of people who stuck around for a whole year (if not MUCH higher, that last one is still higher.) The best estimate for total number of people in twi at any time was double the ROA attendance of any year. IIRC, that gave us a ceiling of 47,000=48,000 on their most populous year, so rounded up to give them the benefit of the doubt, that gave them the greatest reach of 50,000, not 100,000. So, the "partial living" figure is about 200k more than the greatest reach twi ever had, at least concerning US figures. Figures overseas are harder to get because of so many factors making the numbers fluctuate. (vpw complained about "rice Christians" in "the Dilemma of Foreign Missions", but he had no compunctions on using them later for twi, inflating his numbers by those who weren't there because of their faith, but there for what they could get from twi.] "He is not an isolated instance either. Paul talking about the family faith being made shipwreck, you probably have even up to a hundred other mini moglets from a Way background with their own little isolated mental realities teaching their version of Way interpreted scripture, paying homage to “the doctor” and trying to carve out their own little subsistence off of shipwrecked tithes. " [I agree, but this is largely self-correcting over time. A number of those moglets have dropped dead of old age by now. More will do so in the next 20-40 years, and twi itself is increasingly more of a footnote in history, something where an asterisk directs you to the bottom of the page, where their name is mentioned, but not worth including in the main body of the text.]

While we wait..... One celebrity learned- the hard way- not to be offended that something is knowable, and respond by throwing a public tantrum. That only results in everyone trying to find what you're talking about- which means you ADVERTISED what you wanted left unknown. This celebrity saw a number of photos of an area, and the photos included a number of houses. They became OUTRAGED that their house was included, since they didn't want its location known. (Even though none of the photos indicated whose house this was at all, and the photographer didn't know either.) What did they do? They made a public spectacle. Naturally, the public all began looking for it, and the result was the celebrity as good as announcing their street address online. This cause-and-effect situation has become known with the last name of this celebrity, because of this situation. Which celebrity was this?

Yes, it is.

Ok, some British song I probably should know better than I do. (Scratch "Aerosmith" since they're not British.) On the other extreme, I don't think it fits Pink Floyd. Somebody prolific. Possibly The Who.

Consider a different author.

It sounds Beatle-ish, but I'm probably far off.

Gran Torino???

No, but you're not terribly far off.
