What do you get when you do a "search" on the name "Jim Jones"? You get posts where his name was mentioned. Here are some: =========================== "Tape # 40 relates how, according to Beter, the 900 plus dead bodies in Guyana were not of the mass homicide/suicide of members of The People's Temple at Jonestown, but rather were dead Russian soldiers killed by US military covert operations." Was he right? "My ex boyfriend was in the military group that did the clean up of Jonestown. To this day he can't think back to that time without the ensuing nightmares coming again. I point blank asked him one day who all died there, due to the crap VP wanted us to believe and the ex said they were all members of Jim Jones cult." "Of course, according to VP, those people were murdered and didn't commit suicide and claimed our government had a hand in it and said that those people in that cult were being treated by our government as if they were sent to Guyanna on a mission since our government went in to get the bodies. He said our government only did that, retrieved bodies like that when people were sent on a mission." "VeePee was caught up in the idea of conspiracy...I only recently threw away my "cuurent Psychological Hoax" this was the tape that vpw said Jim Jones was a CIA experiment. "

Ok, that was Wall of Voodoo's song, "MEXICAN RADIO." Next song. "This generation rules the nation with version. Music happen to be the food of love. Sounds to really make you rub and scrub."

Was this "Bonanza" or something?

"I feel a hot wind on my shoulder And the touch of a world that is older. I turn the switch and check the number. I leave it on when in bed I slumber. I hear the rhythms of the music. I buy the product and never use it. I hear the talking of the DJ Can't understand- just what does he say?" "I dial it in and tune the station. They talk about the U.S. inflation. I understand just a little. No comprende, it's a riddle." "I wish I was in Tijuana Eating barbecued iguana. I'd take requests on the telephone. I'm on a wavelength far from my home. I feel a hot wind on my shoulder. I dial it in from south of the border. I hear the talking of the dj. Can't understand- just what does he say?" This was an 80s one-hit wonder, but I doubt I'm the only one who's heard it. It's actually been covered since. (Surprised me, too.)

Friends, we've got trouble! Right here in River City! With a capital 'T' and that rhymes with 'P' and that stands for 'Pool'!"

Ok, I looked up that song. ("Superstition.") My turn. =================== "(TITLE) walks beside me. (TITLE) walks on by. (TITLE) Never gonna fall for (TITLE)"

If you'd mentioned the writing on the wall, I'd have gotten it almost instantly. Stevie Wonder, "Superstitious". ("Superstition?")

Royd Tolkien's a fan of the books, and got to spend enough time with Peter Jackson that Peter put him in the third movie. Jackson himself was in each movie of the trilogy in a don't-blink moment, but in the third, he's distinctly on-camera for several seconds and could be recognized in the theater. (I did.)

I wasn't sure about the theatrical cut, since they seem to show that scene whenever it airs on TV.

To me, Amistad's a ship. I have a fuzzy recollection there was a movie. Oh, "Pulp Fiction." I'm not gonna torture H w/out B across a weekend.

That's The Proclaimers, doing "500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be)". ===================== "I feel a hot wind on my shoulder And the touch of a world that is older. I turn the switch and check the number.

Ok, it's time for a little movie trivia. The titular character (technically, the 2nd of 2 titular characters, but most people wouldn't notice) is played by an actor, of course. That actor is a fan of a soccer team-the same team of which Pope Francis is also a fan. In one scene, the director wanted an actor to scream as his character was fatally stabbed with a lung wound. The actor REFUSED. He explained that such a stabbing makes it impossible to scream. What happens if you're stabbed like that is that you struggle to try to get a gasp of air just as you're dying. He then acted out the death exactly that way. Some actors are more bad@$$ than the characters they play! Of course, now his death didn't match the source material, but the fans didn't complain-not TOO loudly, at least. Due to a few details left out, John Noble's character has less of a motive for being a schmuck, so he just seems like that's who he is, not that he ended up like that after being manipulated. Also in the movie was the great-grandson of the writer of the source material, and someone got to shoot and kill the Director on-camera. I bet the rest of the principal cast was jealous it wasn't them shooting...

The "deus ex machina"? Yeah. When I was tabletop RP'ing superhero games, I had some characters who COULD time-travel, but I never just used it to reverse the outcome of gameplay. It felt like cheating. And my excuse was that tampering with space-time was dangerous. In fact, we had pretty consistent discussions about whether I SHOULD. We once flattened the GameMaster when he overheard one argument about it at full speed, in character. "You've gotta do it!" "I don't want to wreck the space-time continuum! The consequences could be disastrous! I could wake up nude in the trunk of my car with my keys up my @$$!" "If you do, we'll pull you out!" THAT'S when the GM collapsed with laughter. I also thought the final ending was cheating. BTW, Mrs Wolf and I thought that Kendra's idea should have been discussed. If Savage would have died off if he wasn't able to complete his cycle, then deny him the cycle and pick up a century later, once he's dead. And I liked the little mention of "nth metal."

What?

Once Upon a Time in Mexico Johnny Depp Sweeney Todd-the Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Tone it down a notch. If you respond to all replies with hostility, the Powers That Be will probably revoke your "post lots of advertisements" privileges.

"Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair."

The movie sounds interesting. I'll have to put it on my list.

Sorry, I was asleep at the switch. "Careless Whispers", George Michael. (I was stumped on the first post, though.)

The love interest is possibly Dr Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman, an Aussie.) I keep thinking of "L.A. Confidential", but it's odd if a movie about L.A. had all these Australian influences. So, I've got nothing so far.

That settles that. As for the Martin Luther imitation, I thought that was too interesting not to explain. vpw announced, at the end of one ROA (77), that they were going to go to the local churches, and nail up the list of verses saying Jesus isn't God. (Never mind that in Luther's place and time, nailing up a notice in the assigned spot was an accepted and expected thing to do.) Is that what he did once the microphones were off? No. Here's what he did. He had sign dropped off, supposedly at several churches, but no eyewitness account confirms more than one stop- at his old denomination. "Jesus Christ is not God. Never was, never will be." With it, he dropped off an autographed copy of JCING. I kid you not.
