Digression: You may find it mildly interesting what names get changed where. Long ago, Kermit the Frog was "La Rana Rene", Rene the Frog. He's rendered that in captions for "Big Bang Theory." But for the movie "the Muppets", he was "Kermit" in all the promotional material as well as the movie. And the Disney Channel had Kermit show up during some commercial break and announce he used to be known as "La Rana Rene" but would now be known as "Kermit." (Apparently, this announcement was for the parents, since the kids may have been unfamiliar with the Muppets until this movie came out.) As for the Batman TV show, it's one example of where Batman's name was rendered differently. There-and cartoons that came after- he was BRUNO DIAZ, and his faithful young ward was RICARDO TAPIA. ("Ricardo" is a translation of "Richard", and "Bruno" may have been an attempt to make the first name closer for Bruce. As for the last names, I've got nuthin'.) As for Alfred and Aunt Harriet, they were "Alfred" and "Aunt Harriet." No "Alfredo"-we think it's because he was a British butler and so "needed" the British name.

*studies the clues* This isn't reminding me of anything. Usually, I can be reminded of a movie I didn't see, if I know something about it. Country musician made me think of a few women singers, but you said this was a guy, which limits the field considerably for those who went into movies as well. So, I'm left with a wild swing. If it hits, I will be genuinely shocked. "2000 Miles From Graceland?"

If you're looking for good material for clues, I always recommend going to Wikipedia or IMdB, typing in the name of the movie, then reading things over until you find something you like and might tip off someone trying to guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page https://www.imdb.com/

I also do not know IF they did it. However, we do know that they did that type of thing, and things more distressing than that. IF they did it, as waysider pointed out, it was with the goals of building a sense of group identity (the group all did it together), obedience (do this silly thing and don't question it) and developing peer pressure to promote social conformity in the corps (if ONE of you fails, ALL of you fail, and ALL of you will know who failed and obviously will give him/her static over it.)

Ok, the first time, the Mrs and I were lost. I've got it now. This movie is "Harriet the Spy Kids."

Contrary to what was OCCASIONALLY said here and there, twi was pretty anti-family and anti-community. twi'ers who started a family or had ties to their community had less time to devote to twi, and twi considered/considers itself to OWN ITS MEMBERSHIP. ("We don't have 'members', we have 'followers'" really meant they didn't have members but rather SERVANTS, but that's a much harder thing to get people to agree to if you're being candid with them.) So, corps were surprised to find out, after graduating, that twi expected them to get up and move to another city or state whenever they directed. They thought "a lifetime of service" meant a lifetime of serving God Almighty at their discretion but obviously in some twi context, as a twig coordinator, branch coordinator, runner of classes, etc. twi actually meant "you serve US the rest of your life, entirely at our discretion and entirely at your expense." Of course, that was never written up anywhere. lcm himself considered "following him BLINDLY" to be the NORMAL STATE OF THINGS once he was the head honcho of twi, and said so when asked. But, yes, twi was made uncomfortable by children. Children are incapable of the lockstep obedience twi expects. Children can't stay silent and still for an hour or more at a time when twi wants them to. So they're considered a liability for meetings of any size, and when twi opened their "Family Corps", they were ill-equipped to do so and we ended up with horror stories of children not permitted to see their parents on-grounds, and children who could be beaten freely at any time by any adult on-grounds. (Except for children of the top cadre-those children got away with all kinds of things and probably came out worse off than the brutalized ones.) twi has always had this nebulous vision of ideas that can be announced and will somehow come to fruition, with the necessary tools, supplies and skills just materializing when needed. We can all testify to how well that worked....

The black-and-white stuff can leave some of us behind completely.

Which would make it Human's turn.

When there were more people than now, graduating classes were five people. If there's more than a dozen across 4 years, I'd be shocked and suspect those numbers were cooked. They did that sort of thing when still releasing numbers- they stated "20% will do this" which meant 1 person. They also took the group photos loaded with staff, so there were more staff than graduates for the graduating class photo. Now, there may not even BE 5 across the entire program.

Tom Cruise Interview With the Vampire Christian Slater

It's basically an announcement of that. It follows logically, yes. That's it. Peter Pan + Pan's Labyrinth + Labyrinth. Labyrinth is remembered for David Bowie's role as The Goblin King. Among people who never watched it. I figured having the entire name of the second movie would make it possible to fill in even without trying to give the second name. I also didn't think "Pan's Labyrinth" would have been such a hard target. Here, it's "Faun's Labyrinth", but the concept is the same. (Maybe if I'd used 'satyr' I'd have shaken something loose.)

You're missing everything up to and including the word "Faun." But the glam-rock "Goblin King" might ring a bell. No idea, but it has nothing to do with this round.

I made it a triple, and it may get easier now. In this movie, the stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer is spirited away into an eerie fantasy world by a faun and a flying, immortal boy. She ends up in a conflict between pirates, orphans, and The Goblin King. (Title-order police, get lost.)

IIRC, the "Christian Family & Sex" class (about 1 session on Christian Family at most and 6 sessions on sex) was a required prerequisite for the Advanced Class. vpw's doctorate was from an unaccredited source. What does that mean? That means his doctorate in Theology is as legitimate in my 3 unaccredited doctorates. I was granted 3 doctorates on this messageboard. 1 was in Theology, 1 was in Bible Truths, 1 was in Using Boldface To Make Your Posts Easier To Read. It also means I'm three times the doctor he was, or 2x the doctor he was in subjects relating to the Bible. He actually preferred being called "THE Teacher" when he got away with it. Calling him "Doctor" Wierwille was actually a compromise. (Thus saith Doctor WordWolf.)

Anne Hathaway the Dark Knight Rises Michael Caine

No, I was reminded of a television show where one episode, someone did just that. I don't want to name it because I may use it soon on a thread.

This had to be the late 60s/early 70s. So, I'll go with "Love American Style."

Another hint would not go amiss....

I imagine it's a Free Post by now...

Warner will do the same thing here. In fact, they did marathons of the new shows on the weekends periodically so people who missed a few episodes could catch up. Jim Gordon as Batman is obviously because of the "Gotham" show making him an action hero to some people. This isn't new- remember the Shazam! television series? When Billy and Mentor on that show drove around the country, it wasn't long before Billy and Uncle Dudley got a winnebago and the same "contact the gods" collander and drove around the county.
