  1. "Henry - In the name of God!" "Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!" "Dangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if no one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have your never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy."
  2. This 1941 movie later had 4 sequels (all with the same actor). Actors in it include Claude Rains, Patric Knowles, and Ralph Bellamy. It also included Bela Lugosi as "Bela." However, nobody ever seems to remember he was in this movie- most remember it for exactly one actor and Maria Ouspenskaya (who do not play "a couple" at any point, neither in this movie nor real life.) It was written by Curt Siodmak. It also had a remake in 2010 with some recognizable actors. "The way you walked was thorny though no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end."

  5. That's it. And I must say, this is one of my all-time favorite short stories from television:
  6. There's been multiple versions of this show. One was hosted by Forrest Whitaker. A different version was black-and-white. And we've all seen at least an episode or 2, if we grew up in the US (probably if we didn't, also.)
  7. I should have figured out Austin Powers' dad. Then again, I wasn't a big fan of that series.
  8. This was obviously "Wayne's World." Oddly enough, the other day, I was multi-tasking and watching the video from the "Wayne's World" vcr game. The game was described as uninspired and uninteresting. Judging from the video, that's probably correct. So, this was on my mind.
  9. Alicia Silverstone the Crush Cary Elwes
  10. Romancing the Stone Kathleen Turner Undercover Blues
  11. Just so I can say I asked, that's not "Zeppo" Marx, is it?
  12. I remember this because I knew a guy that had a gun-rack but no longer had A gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate a gun-rack.
  13. No idea, but I've at least heard it before.
  14. Colin Clive played him in the Universal films, Peter Cushing played him in the Hammer films. The first 3 I named all played him in different adaptations from 1973, if you can believe it. "Sting" played him in "The Bride." Raul Julia was in Roger Corman's "Frankenstein Unbound." Kenneth Branagh was in "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein." Samuel West was in "Van Helsing." Alec Newman played him in 2004. Aden Young is in "I, Frankenstein" (2014) and James McAvoy in "Victor Frankenstein" (2015). That's slated for this year with Daniel Radcliffe as Igor.

  16. The humble peons heard it out on the field, as well. Once again, vpw took a single verse and invented an entire UNBIBLICAL doctrine around it. We were told we were "the household" and were better than other Christians because we WERE "the household." In fact, one tape on giving broke down giving into the following priorities: A) the household, first and foremost. Give there FIRST. B) other Christians. If you can't FIND another "believer" to give to, give to another Christian. "Even if he does believe there's 800 gods..." C) Anyone else. "If you can't find any Christians....um, help the nicest pagan you know." Whether other Christians could even be called "believers" was a subject of disagreement. Certainly they were to be derided whenever possible, since they were referred to with names like "churchianity" and their leaders educated in "theological cemeteries". But we were definitely in a higher tier than all other Christians- that was straight from vpw and came up in a variety of ways throughout twi- and continues to come up in groups led by ex-twi survivors, especially leaders trained in twi.
  17. Branagh HAS done a lot of Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean ALL his roles have been Shakespeare. This is not one of them.
  18. I'm still curious about something. If that current stfi office-holder ever posts again, I'm curious what he thinks about the lack of disclosure. He's one of the people in charge of a group that has had at least 2 public scandals of doctrine and practice, and he seems completely uninformed of them! He said he was uninformed about MOMENTUS, and that's remarkable. (We have plenty of information about it here for him.) I didn't get to ask him about the "personal prophecy" boondoggle that Lynn even allowed to trash his own marriage. (We have plenty of information about it here for him.)

  20. "Arrow" seems to have survived the recurring role nicely.
  21. Got to be that movie I slept through, what was it again? "Superman Returns." With Ray Palmer and Kevin Spacey.
