  1. Billy always shouted "SHAZAM!" to transform to Captain Marvel. In each episode, more or less, he CONSULTED with The Elders so we could get a foreshadow of the episode's moral. He went into the RV, activated the hemisphere with the colored lights, and said the invocation I posted.
  2. How "wild" can that be? Billy Batson said it in probably every episode! You are correct. Been a while since they aired, no?
  3. ¨Hey, what do ya know? I found Nemo!¨ ¨There's a man there! He's got a woman! She's tied up in a burlap sack and he's taking her to the Eiffel Tower!¨ ¨ Ah, eet eez Spring, eez eet not?¨ "I also work for the Agency. Professional assassin. It's really hard for me to juggle the two sometimes. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I have kids! Do you know how hard it is to find a nanny with advanced weapons training?" "Nice of Wal-Mart to provide these Wal-Mart beverages in return for us saying "Wal-Mart" so many times." "What a fantastic view!" "Unless you're in the audience, in which case you've been staring at an elephant's behind for thirty seconds." " Pointillism. A technique using individual dots of pigment, which, taken together...make an image." "Dynamite? Who has dynamite?" "Welcome to MY world." "Yikes! Illegal aliens!" "Tell me about the Blue Monkey." " How do you know about that thing that I've never heard of in my entire life?" "My dad told me." "What is the POINT of making them pinky-swear?" "Hah! You, a stuntman? Please!" "I am! Did you see those Mummy movies? I'm in them more than Brendan Fraser is." "Eh, f-first they tell me to lose the stutter. Now they tell me I'm not funny! It's a pain in the butt, being p-p-p-politically correct." "You're telling me."
  4. "Oh, Elders, great, strong and wise, appear before my seeking eyes."
  5. He's mentioned he forgets and repeats rounds, sometimes. So, this COULD be about some mother with a color in her name, now that you've mentioned it.
  6. To say that completely misses the meaning of "cults" and "thought control." Schools are meant to EDUCATE. To a minor degree, they teach how to be a good citizen and how to behave. (Some kids don't know how to SIT STILL and LISTEN like the rest of the students.) The citizen thing is a very general one, and includes the local slant on history. (Which would go off-topic, but every country does that.) Their influence is limited, and the parent is intended to "do the heavy lifting." 4H and other clubs are VOLUNTARY CLUBS and have nothing to do with thought control and cults. Sports and games? Don't be silly. All of them require RULES-otherwise there's no way to win, no way to lose, and no way to determine progress. With no rules, there's no way to actually PLAY- and most of us would end up making up our own rules to play anyway. Try that with a handful of friends, a ball, and some space. Start with no game at all. I guarantee you, stay there several minutes, it will become a simple game with simple rules- Catch, or something. People may not announce the rules, but they'll play with them. It may not be a game with winning and losing, but it will be a game. With each of those, you are meant to CONTROL YOUR OWN THINKING AND CONDUCT. The problems with them (generally, there's always someone ruining things for everyone else) is when you FAIL to control your own thinking and conduct. THEN the rules are used to keep you from ruining a game or activity for others. Any activity with zero rules (like a completely unregulated messageboard) sooner or later becomes anarchy and troll-like. Those who will always abuse power at any level will bully others and, in effect, run things.

  9. I lacked access to my normal PC and keyboard, etc, for a few days. So, those were the clues for the next movie/round. I'll reformat them here for easier viewing. =========================================== ¨Hey, what do ya know? I found Nemo!¨ ¨There's a man there! He's got a woman!

  10. As Regis Philbin said, it´s only easy when you know the answer. I this case, I knew ONLY that. But, it was enough. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¨Hey, what do ya know?

  11. And along came a Raf with the correct answer! His turn.
  12. What ABOUT my 'up'? ;) Ok, let's see.... "I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side. Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place."
  13. Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."
  14. Close enough-it was the first one. Your turn.
  15. In an adaptation of a novel by James Patterson, a congressman's daughter under Secret Service protection is kidnapped from a private school by an insider who calls Det. Alex Cross- not knowing the Detective has gained super-powers from an animal bite. Cross is sucked into the case even though he's recovering from the loss of his Uncle to a criminal's bullet. It stars Morgan Freeman as the hero, and Willem Defoe as the villain. (There's nothing "Amazing" about this movie.)
  16. "My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse."
  17. Actually, you meant the spoken section is "Late Lament", since the song is still "Nights in White Satin" until the "Late Lament" arrives. Meanwhile, this is "Comfortably Numb." Like a lot of people, I got into Pink Floyd a bit in college. I didn't do drugs or get the poster, I just listened to the music.
  18. " You wanna dance, you gotta pay the band, you understand? If you wanna borrow, you gotta pay the man. Hey, I ain't emotionally involved, Bob, ya understand? Gimme some money. C'mon.... gimme some money." "That don't matter either, ya know...It really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance." "He looks like a big flag.
  19. Sounds like a song I used to mention in twi days, when dismissing the Trinity. ;)

  21. That eliminates the sequels, so this is "ALIEN".
  22. It wasn't that either- since Paul and Timothy would have acted morally-as they actually did. vpw didn't want to act morally like Paul-he wanted to speak AS IF he did, and do as he fool-well pleased. Paul told the Corinthian church their poor morals needed correction, and they needed to adjust their attitudes so they actually felt bad when they did wrong, or their people did wrong. (I Corinthians 5:1-13) As to other Christians, I try to make a distinction with what people actually do and say in their lives compared to a few demagogues who try to rule from the pulpit. I've seen Christians just blow off even local guys who tried that and did what they knew was right.
