Ok, we have a new movie triple coming up. It's a stealth triple and is a little sneaky even so. Don Knotts plays a man who wishes to become a fish- and does so! He becomes a superhero and founds a superhero family, eventually retiring and having to come out of retirement later for one last case. Much later, his fish-corpse is buried, but in a graveyard where the animals sometimes come back as zombies!

Unfaithful Richard Gere First Knight (I blame these threads for me knowing either of them was in "Unfaithful." Frankly, I was surprised I didn't imagine that.)

That's him. And I didn't even need to post "Danny Ocean." I named a few eponymous roles (the character was named in the title) and a few like "Guys and Dolls" and "Robin and the 7 Hoods". so I thought this wasn't so impossible. Quite a few roles were him playing himself or someone named "Frank" with no last name. (Technically, Cannonball Run 2 had him playing "Frank" with no last name.)

I did a doubletake when I saw the name for just that reason. Nathan Detroit is not Doctor Detroit. This is not Dan Akroyd. AFAIK, Nathan Detroit is not a doctor, he's a "professional" gambler.

He might have been referring to Corps student who were raped or killed as a result of hitchhiking, which was required for the Corps. No, he was talking about the deaths on the WOW field?

He's entitled to his opinion, and the damage from twi/vpw is enough to get one angry. That having been said, personally, I would prefer that posts that antagonistic not be posted by people who have the freedom to do so or to refrain from doing so. He's lashing out at his fellow posters and any lurkers who disagree with him, and most of them had nothing to do with why he's angry. Hurting people's feelings has never been THE dividing line between what's acceptable here and what isn't- remember the women who were chased off by men (always men) who accused women who were victimized by vpw? They never allowed vpw to be blamed, only the women, and had no problems calling them liars. Those posters were rarely run off, also. IMHO, they were more hurtful than this general screed against everyone of faith who reads here.

The spoken three were possible to fake! Anyone can pronounce syllables with conviction-that's just basic improv acting! Adding a supposed message from God with conviction-that's slightly better improv acting! Just speaking a supposed message from God with conviction-improv acting at that same level! It wasn't like vpw was even GOOD at faking them. Whenever he supposedly began SIT in public, it sounded like EXACTLY THE SAME SENTENCE most of the time. Then people come along and say "I know he was the real deal because I saw him speak in tongues." Naturally, they know that's what they saw because HE said that's what it looks like when you do it, and they never thought to check if he was mistaken or lying because he supposedly had this fantastic connection to God Almighty. Whether or not one believes it is possible to do them for real nowadays, it's plainly obvious they can be FAKED nowadays. vpw faked them, and didn't even do a good job of it. As for the others, how can you fake instant healing, or healing days of damage in hours? Why did vpw need glasses if he could heal whenever he wanted? Why did he have eye damage if he could heal whenever he wanted? Why did he have liver damage if he could heal whenever he wanted? Why did he die slowly and painfully of cancer if he could heal whenever he wanted? If any of you think the answer is "Because he refused to heal," I freaking feel sorry for you. He certainly would not have chosen the extended pain of enduring cancer. It's rather obvious he could NOT heal whenever he wanted to- because he could have reversed the slow killing of his body by the illnesses he cultivated through poor stewardship of his body, through chronic drink and chronic smoking. Even ONE "miracle" of healing would have reversed it all. And he never WANTED to hear from God, because God disapproves of much of the policies vpw showed he thought he should get away with- raping, drugging, molesting, plagiarizing, gluttony of vices, etc. Even one message of "the alcohol and cigarettes are killing you" would have been enough- if he wanted to hear from God, and if he would heed a warning from God and not cling to his vices. So, vpw couldn't fake the big 6, so he never tried to fool people on those- at least not that often and not that many people at a time. You were lied to. You were promised that all of those were at the core of twi, when, if anything, they were more at the local levels-and always were.

ARRRRMY training, SIR!

I hope I'm not inventing a show here. "77 Sunset Striptease"??

I don't know if shiftthis' reasoning is "selective" as much as it is UNBIBLICAL and UNSOUND. This whole "I didn't see it so it didn't happen" thing is so obviously faulty that no court in the US would accept it as evidence- you don't "prove a negative." The affirmative has to make its case. Several eyewitnesses is generally sufficient to prove a case of something happening. Several came forward here and now, and far more came forth over the decades, just counting the ones posting here. Both Jesus Christ and Paul spoke of accepting the word of 2-3 witnesses as "established." Matthew 18:16King James Version (KJV) 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 2 Corinthians 13:1King James Version (KJV) 13 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. I'm not sure what it says about a person who would discount both of those to defend a religious leader or a religion, but I know it's not a good thing. By shiftthis' silly illogic of "I didn't see it so it didn't happen," we can equally say that shiftthis never went into the Corps. I didn't see him there, so it didn't happen! But really, what can be done when someone's being that silly? (Other than misrepresent me and take me out of context to try to make me sound equally silly, that is-that's dishonorable and dishonest.)

No, I found Forrester. He was behind the couch the whole time! That guy can play Hide-And-Seek like nobody's business!

Found him! That's "FINDING FORRESTER."

Trevor Slattery appeared in "Iron Man 3" and the short, "All Hail the King." That made him easier to remember.

Star Trek 6-the Undiscovered Country Christian Slater Very Bad Things (I was going to link through Brando, but I logged in too late..)

Wait, Trevor Slattery.... that was BEN KINGSLEY, wasn't it?

Here's where the quotes are from... "Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy: 'I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained, et cetera, et cetera... Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum!' It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good DAY, sir!" End of the movie, Charlie's being shuffled out by Wonka. "Violet! You're turning violet, Violet! Violet Beauregard chewed the experimental gum with the meal- despite warnings from Wonka and Sam Beauregard. She tasted the entire meal, and then the dessert- blueberry pie. She turned blue and swelled up full of blueberry juice. (The makeup AND the blueberry costume caused problems for the actress-the makeup resurfaced in school weeks later, and she couldn't move in the costume-and the Oompa-Loompa actors didn't have experience in steering giant blueberry costumes so they crashed her a few times. "...Or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining, is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly Reaper mowing? Yes! The danger must be growing 'Cause the rowers keep on rowing And they're certainly not showing ANY SIGN THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!" Wonka, creeping out the audience and the kid actors, on the boat, the Wonkatania, in the tunnel. (The kids thought the actor was having a meltdown at the time.) "Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way!" Same scene, before it got scary. "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." Discussing gin and butterscotch in the inventing room with Mr Salt. "The suspense is terrible, I hope it will last." I think that was when Augustus Gloop was stuck in the tube. "So shines a good deed in a weary world." Wonka, at the end, after Charlie returns to hand back the everlasting gobstopper. "Meine Herrschaften, schenken Sie mir Ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Sie kommen jetzt in den interessantesten und gleichzeitig geheimsten Raum meiner Fabrik. Meine Damen und Herren: der 'Inventing Room'". ["Ladies and gentlemen, please give me your attention. You now come into the most interesting room of my factory, the most secret room at the same time. Ladies and gentlemen: the 'Inventing Room'."] After the WonkaWash (Hsaw Aknow) in that carbonation-car, they arrived at the Inventing Room. Wonka introduced it in German. "99-44-100 percent pure." Wonka, at a combination lock that reminds one of Ivory Soap's advertising.

Figures. Whenever I try to name a musical and have no idea which one it is, I should just guess "South Pacific" because I have a good chance of hitting the mark.

Yes!

No, it's from a 70s family classic, and that specific line is a giveaway.

By an amazing coincidence, that was the same name used all year on-grounds in the Medical Office. If you actually needed medical assistance, you phoned and requested a "third aid." And one of their high muck-a-mucks was the one that I heard explaining that to someone, so it's not like that was just some expression he used. He phrased it as a very specific instruction, something to be repeated verbatim if needed.

When addressing the Way Corps themselves, vpw once said that he used to look at how countries had military forces, and the thing that stayed with him about them, the thing he took away from them, was that they had soldiers who were willing to go do what they were told without argument. (That's really NOT the first thing one should take away from any military organization, and if vpw had any actual exposure to them other than the media, he would have known better.) So, he said sarcastically, that, since there were no Christians he saw willing to go into gunfire at an order, that "the armies are stronger than God, our nations are stronger than God." As if the sole measure of anything is the ability to get people to go over a cliff for it. Let's remember vpw's own "background" in the military... Was he a veteran of any armed force? No. Was he in the National Guard or Reserve? No. (He lacked the military background of a DAN QUAYLE.) Was he in the ROTC program in college? No. So, he lacked any direct military training, even at the most rudimentary, elementary level. Did he come from a military family, where he saw the affects of combat on those who went through it? Did he overhear at the dinner table what it meant to go on training maneuvers? No. So, he lacked any direct exposure to the military, and he lacked any INdirect exposure to the military. What does that leave? On what did he base his (mis-)understanding of the armed forces? That leaves mass media- movies and television. He based his concept about what makes the military work upon freaking movies and television. How many of you think that movies and television-especially back before the 70s- ever reflected the realities of the military, or what made them bad, poor, good or great? That's the measure of a LAZY person, one who doesn't put in the work to learn-but that's vpw from Day One. When he was a child, he was lazy and skipped his chores. When he was in school, he cheated at least part of the time that we know of (he was a serial plagiarist.) He chose to go specifically into preaching, and chose the softest option of Divinity School- homiletics, the craft of spinning a tale. His peers were in classes on Bible Linguistics and so on-fields he later claimed to understand. A year into his career as a preacher, and years after he chose to be a preacher, he was INTRODUCED TO THE IDEA THAT THE BIBLE WAS THE WORD OF GOD. That was around when he first began actually reading the Bible with any regularity. He based virtually everything he was remembered FONDLY FOR ENTIRELY on the works of others- Bullinger, Stiles, Kenyon, Leonard- almost all of it through plagiarism. All the rest he's remembered fondly for was the books "by Victor Paul Wierwille" that were written by the twi research staff. He wrote none of it, nor did he edit, but his name was the sole one on the covers. The man was LAZY-which means he wanted others to do all the work. The heights of twi was when he got people to do it. And his model for getting a dedicated core of individuals to do it? His mangled view of the military, as presented in entertainment. The military was there to be loyal and "don't think-just follow orders"- which is actually WARNED ABOUT rather than lauded- in the REAL US military.
