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.

"Beowulf?"

There might be a reason for that...

"Grease." And if you're bored, note that I was reminded of this YouTube video...

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

That's it.

I did not describe "Licence to Kill." Looking at the plot, however, perhaps I should have. It would have blended a bit better.

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.

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.

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.

I was wondering if you were ever going to come clean about what you believed.

Cry little sister

Ok, that's "Pretty in Pink."

I didn't mean to derail the thread. In other news, cult leaders, besides lying a lot and spinning tales, apparently also try to set up their own personal paramilitary organizations. In L Ron Hubbard's case, that was his "Sea Org." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Org http://www.xenu.net/archive/so/ http://exscientologykids.com/sea-org-2/ http://leavingscientology.wordpress.com/leaving-the-so/ http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/07/06/scientology-s-sea-org-an-escape-story-for-katie-holmes-and-suri-cruise.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168225/Tom-Cruise-Katie-Holmes-divorce-Inside-Scientologys-Sea-Org-Suri-faced-joining.html

Caught something in passing the other day, on television. Someone was saying that the US's current cults were now focusing more on people in their 30s and older, in order to leverage their pre-existing success and influence. Another sign twi's decline is continuing the slow crawl into night- along with all the offshoots. They're still unable to draw significant numbers of new people at ANY age- while other current cults are drawing in successful adults. Really, twi and splinters are trading people back and forth in a zero-sum game, and slowly losing people to them exiting, or death, or growing up and leaving when they are able. Their COLLECTIVE relevancy isn't even a blip on the radar. In 20-40 years, they may not merit footnotes in someone's book. There will be announcements of some deaths of "leaders" who refused to hand over the reins while alive, and then some silence, then an announcement of some land for sale or auction. That will be the end of twi- not with a bang, but with a whimper- and a quiet whimper at that. Some splinters have already folded, a few will need a few more years until old age takes their "leaders." The one with the young people? If the young vpw namesake gets a clue, the thing will be done soon after. If not, it will boast membership in the 2-3 digits until something happens like he dies or they all die and he decides he should do something else.

That's it, complete with correct spelling. Thou mayest brag.

You've got it. The band was "the Spinners" ("the Detroit Spinners" for UK releases.)

Here's another triple. A serial killer preys on a village, using an M.O. of deadly sins. To stop him, this village sets out to hire help- and get a small force of cowboys and a small force of Japanese ronin in response. Bragging rights if you spell the movie's title perfectly with the 3rd link included.

I'm sure there's something cagey about his entire education. We know he plagiarized whenever he could- so it's ridiculous to think he STARTED that AFTER his education. He ALWAYS cut corners out of laziness and did the least amount of work to get by and get credit. So, I'm confident he was much the same man and did exactly that at Princeton Theological, Lakeland, Pike's Peak, and anywhere else. He certainly did that with Moody... He claimed he took ALL their correspondence courses, and Moody has no record of him taking ANY of their courses. So, if he ever took ANY course of Moody, he never completed it and no record was ever logged as a result. So, he got the "credit" for Moody ("Respect me-I went to Moody") without actually doing the work.

"Hand me down my walkin' cane, hand me down my hat. Hurry now and don't be late 'cause we ain't got time to chat. You and me, we're goin' out to catch the latest sounds. Guaranteed to blow your mind so high, you won't come down, no."

"What Dreams May Come"?

Rocky Burt Young Back to School

That's backwards, actually. While Princeton Theological Seminary is a respected institution (despite vpw attending), in non-theological circles, it's unknown and Princeton University is a household name. (Despite both being in Princeton, NJ.) It was common for lcm certainly to say vpw got a Masters from "Princeton" and leave everyone thinking vpw went to Princeton University and got a Masters Degree from there. I suppose vpw taught him that one but I never personally heard vpw say it that way. Then again, we were all told that vpw "played basketball all through college and was involved with the Sheboygan Redskins." He was never on a TEAM in college, and never PLAYED for the Sheboygan Redskins. We were all meant to think that's what he meant- but he phrased the truth deceptively so as to get us to draw the wrong conclusion because we didn't think vpw would intentionally deceive us. (He was very successful that way.)

His doctorate may have come out of a cracker-jack box, but he did attend Princeton Theological Seminary for his Masters. He coasted for a doctorate after that. AFAIK, he went to a legitimate school for his Masters but chose the softest option available.
