Or "It's About Time After Time".
-
Are we talking Sylvester Stallone, and some movie like "Cobra" or "Tango & Cash" here?
-
I've got that it's a TV show about astronauts who exceed light-speed and end up in the stone age, and the name either begins or ends with "time."
-
I know the HG Wells/ Jack the Ripper movie, but not the astronaut one.

Are You More Moral Than Yahweh?
WordWolf replied to Raf's topic in Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith
I'd like to point out there was a supposed method to confirm women's virginity, but not men's virginity. (I've heard that some places into the 20th century that didn't follow the Torah still made a deal about it, I have no idea if they still do.) There's a peculiar disconnect, though. There's a written provision specifically that a wife could be stoned if the husband brought her forth and claimed she had not been a virgin when he married her, and her family could not provide the expected proof she had been. It isn't phrased as "the man is required, if she's not a virgin, to do this", but it isn't stated as "here is one option for the man" outright. One might argue that it is IMPLIED, but it's not stated outright. We know it was practiced as optional because Joseph was espoused to Mary, a purported virgin, and she turned up pregnant. We know his intention was to quietly drop this and not have her stoned. So, we know he COULD have had her stoned, and he COULD have had them part quietly. We know his plan to do so quietly was considered "just." Nowadays, we'd want that stated in an unambiguous fashion and written so redundantly redundant that there was no reasonable room to misinterpret. (There will always be someone unreasonable to misinterpret everything.) There was certainly room to do that then, but it wasn't written that way. I think that's peculiar. -
I could have recognized about 1/2 the past page. I just got so used to not recognizing any that I stopped checking the thread. I can resume checking it some more. (And H w/o Bean missed my comment about "Take the Money and Run", where I said I could clap along. I was letting someone else name it, thinking they could, but since there's clapping in the song, hinting I could name it, then I forgot to name it later.)

Obviously a political thriller, to go from that quote. Something controversial. Oh, yeah! "The Wizard of Oz."

"AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT." That song is basically the theme for troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus. That movie was a compilation of some of their routines. That song was definitely played during the opening credits. (Probably closing, also.)

Wild swing.... "Texaco Star Theater"?

That's him. For fun, I'll also invoke the owls and point out I also left out actors Cantinflas and Armando Bo. (Who? Who? Who?) Actually, you may know Cantinflas from the old version of "Around the World in 80 Days". (That's where I know him from, at least.)

For some reason, I felt like using the "Ben" part as a bridge right now since I already used the "10" part. Also, I figured nobody could say they'd never heard of the cartoon if I used the link this week. I figured the "Gentle Ben" thing might have been something you missed (I did), and it would give the others a chance. Ditto the movie with Michael Jackson singing the theme. Can you believe that movie was a sequel to "Willard"?

Mrs Wolf said they played Captain James Hook.

By agreement of Raf and T&O, the side-discussion on slavery and the Bible was one subject to more concretely address more nebulous topics of morality. That was the top of page 4. That having been said, we've had a few pages of prologue to that subject, and little actually addressing slavery and morality. If this keeps up, I'm going to end up reviewing and posting digests of the salient points made so they don't get completely lost in a sea of words. (Legitimate points shouldn't be lost.) -
Stealth triple again. In this TV-movie, a young boy is a friend to animals, befriending first a bear, then a rat. Eventually, he finds something that allows him to transform into aliens.

Was that "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"?

Is this "Jurassic Park: the Lost World War Z"?
