  1. Is it something I should tell my friends?
  2. If it's the same movie, apparently it's "The King and I."
  3. I keep picturing the school talent show in "the Addams Family", but I know you're going for something else entirely.
  4. I'm sure it went from "It's God's Will for us to use an 18-wheeler!" to "The revelation has changed."
  5. Taking a guess here... "The French Lieutenant's Woman"?
  6. I figured that responding to your post would be on-topic, if your post was on-topic. If neither was, perhaps we both should be sent to the corner. I actually haven't looked at the initial subject. It didn't interest me then or now. I responded here because I knew the answer off the top of my head. Perhaps I'll actually look into the other thing, but that will take more than just flipping a page. (We want competency here so I won't rush something I personally can't rush.) I'd never even heard the membrane thing when I was in twi. I didn't even hear it in the Advanced class. I'm sure the fools taught something of it, just not to me.
  7. Of course, that's only the view held by young earth Creationists, and most Creationists are old earth Creationists and read that with a different understanding, but who's counting? Certainly the old earth Creationists don't count....
  8. Ok, got one. "COLONEL BOGEY'S MARCH." That's that marching tune that's WHISTLED. In The Breakfast Club, the group whistled the tune early on when bored. Among other movies that used it. However, one movie is so connected with it that some people don't know the correct name for it, and know it by the name of that movie. And it's not a recent film, of course.
  9. Too obvious, since we were discussing it, sorry. Small wonder I confused it for "Some Kind of Wonderful" when Hughes made the latter deliberately like the former, and released it about a year later. 2 similar movies, a year apart, from the same director. Yeah, that's an easy way to mix up movies. No idea about your current movie, but I love the clue.
  10. Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes Jude Law
  11. "Wayne's World." When Benjamin suggested sponsoring the show.
  12. Can't teach those wacky Hebrews anything. After all, other groups' holy teachings of the cosmogony included things like their chief god producing the universe in a moment of excitement, or a big egg opening, or the earth being constructed from the bones and corpse of an evil giant, and so on. Nowadays, we know better. We know the universe started with the Big Bang, and started with energy, some eventually converting to matter, and the planet Earth eventually being some of that matter. As for life on that planet, once there was a stable water cycle, then plant-life appeared. Eventually, the atmosphere changed radically again (including the presence of plenty of oxygen, plants had to do that), animal life began with marine life, and amphibian and reptile life, and bird-types came next, then we got the land animals. What we consider "man" was a late arrival to all of that, no matter who's counting because supposedly rodentia and so on all predate primates. The silly Genesis account with its non-scientific mumbo-jumbo written by the non-scientists, well that says..... ... HOW ABOUT THAT. The ancient ignoramuses who had no idea what science would tell us millenia later, they gave the same order in Genesis. Energy, water cycle, plant-life, more atmospheric change, marine life in all its varieties, birds, land animals, eventually including man. Genesis 1:3 energy Genesis 1:6-9 the water cycle Genesis 1:11-12 plant life Genesis 1:14-18 more atmospheric change Genesis 1:20-21 all types of marine life, and also birds Genesis 1:24-25 land animals Genesis 1:26-27 people Granted, all of that is poorly-phrased to be used as a 21st-century science textbook, but, coming from people who should have no knowledge whatsoever of what 20th/21st century science said about all that, it is an ASTOUNDING COINCIDENCE to have hit upon ANY of it when all the other ignorant religions wrote accounts so completely different and so much more divorced from science. I'd consider that singularly peculiar, at the very least.
  13. This was supposed to be one of those flicks where the girl doesn't realize she should be with the guy-friend who treats her right until the end of the movie. However, test-audiences disliked the guy-friend, who was just plain annoying and anemic in their view. So, the ending was changed, and the idiot she had her eye on grew up instead and she ended up with him. This John Hughes 80s brat-pack flick otherwise was going to be standard fare. The last-minute ending change was accompanied by a last-minute musical score change, and both the new ending and the new song were written at the last minute. The novelization includes the original ending because it was already written before the last scene was changed. (Whoops!) The lead actress thinks the original ending would have worked if some of the other actors had gotten the role of the friend-boy.. especially if Robert Downey Jr had accepted the role. That notwithstanding, its her favorite of the movies she's been in.
  14. There might be a reason for that...
  15. "Grease." And if you're bored, note that I was reminded of this YouTube video...
  16. Here's links to some threads on child-raising and/or marriage in twi: Hunt Close! Child Abuse in twi Comedy of error Marriage in twi Ephesians 6:1 and being in the way international
  17. I did not describe "Licence to Kill." Looking at the plot, however, perhaps I should have. It would have blended a bit better.
  18. No, this one's actually 3 different titles linked up, not 2 with a 3rd concealed in the overlap. The description is also in the correct order.
  19. Another TRIPLE. A secret agent foils a plan to create a microchip shortage by destroying Silicon Valley. She retires and tries to get married- but a reprisal by a handful of assassins wipes out her groom and her entire wedding party. When she wakes up months later, she discovers she's been in a mental institution under an oppressive head nurse. She resolves to revolt against the head nurse, escape, and seek revenge on the handful of assassins.

  21. I'm not sure of the title. Is it "How to Lose a Man in 10 Days of Thunder"? ======================== Before I forget, I just wanted to mention that "The Seven Samurai" was remade as a Western named "The Magnificent Seven", which is why both are about a village that hires mercenaries to defend it. Some people claim other movies are based on the same story. Some might be, but I think they exaggerate wildly when naming some others. For example, it's been claimed that "Star Wars" (Episode IV-A New Hope) was another variation. It had a handful of heroes, but other than that, there's no resemblance other than "fight the bad guys." 2 droids, 2 pilots (human and wookiee), 1 retired Jedi, 1 student Jedi, and 1 princess do indeed make up 7, but we might as well say "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" was another example because there were 7 of them as well. Just throwing that out there for the curious.
  22. I was wondering if you were ever going to come clean about what you believed.
