WordWolf

Mrs Wolf, said, in effect: House's personality (grouchy and antisocial) on Holmes. The nice friend who helps him is Dr Wilson. (Saw that actor in "Dead Poets Society.") House's apartment# is "221." When he tries to concentrate, he uses a musical instrument to focus. (Holmes used the violin, House used the piano.) He used a drug to escape when not working on problems (House used Vicodin, Holmes had his 7% solution.) That's off the top of her head. I will add that Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to write about Holmes after seeing a doctor in action- a doctor who could tell all sorts of details about patients brought before him just from a few seconds of observation.

That's the correct answer for this round. I'll ask Mrs Wolf to explain when she can, since she can answer this better than I can-she watched the show and likes both House and Holmes. (House? Homes?)

That's it. As a comedy-horror movie, Shaun of the Dead succeeds in at least being watchable and has some good moments. It's worth watching once. Dead Poet's Society is a favorite movie of mine. As a "dramedy", it is a drama with some comedic moments. Robin Williams has little screen time- as suits his supporting character well- Keating is there to drive the story, not star in the film. (Naturally, someone I knew refuses to see the movie to this day because they're certain they already know what to expect of Robin Williams in a role. Naturally, they're wrong.)

It is. Pearl Jam's biggest hit. Their second biggest hit was probably "Jeremy", which was the preceding song. Your turn.

This show lasted for several seasons. It was inspired, in part, by Sherlock Holmes. It is NOT an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in any way. (We mentioned 2 modern adaptations before- "Elementary" and "Sherlock." This is neither of those.)

I was, but I was trying to let someone else get a turn. This was "I AM THE WALRUS" by the Fab Four (the Beatles.) Now please go to the other song thread and bail me out.

A man has lost his focus and just works as a clerk in an appliance store. As people turn into zombies all over Britain, he begins to focus as he tries to save his friends. In flashbacks, we see his original inspirations in private school, where an English teacher inspired him and his friends to seize the day and suck out all the marrow of life. Stars Simon Pegg and the supporting cast includes Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke.

No, this is all movie, and is, in parts here and there, a bit of a comedy. (On both parts.)

Now I'm thinking I just saw some of those lines in a commercial. *looks it up* Ok, I would never have gotten it. I was going to guess "Eraser."

I'm trying to string together a coherent story description. I can TRY to reverse it, but it sounds more awkward that way. A man has lost his focus and just works as a clerk in an appliance store. As people turn into zombies all over Britain, he begins to focus as he tries to save his friends. In flashbacks, we see his original inspirations in private school, where an English teacher inspired him and his friends to suck out all the marrow of life.

"Son," she said, "Have I got a little story for you. What you thought was your Daddy was nothin' but a... While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen, Your real Daddy was dyin'. Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked." Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room. She said, "I'm ready for you". I can't remember anything to this very day 'cept the look, the look. Oh, you know where. Now I can't see, I just stare. The ellipsis is in the song, I didn't drop a word.

Jim Carrey Once Bitten Cleavon Little

Quotes 1,2 and 4 are bugging me. I've heard them in the last 2 years. Apparently, I didn't see them in the theater, but at home on one format or another.

Ok, no bites on that one. I'll switch songs. Same artist. "Son," she said, "Have I got a little story for you. What you thought was your Daddy was nothin' but a... While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen, Your real Daddy was dyin'. Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked." The ellipsis is in the song, I didn't drop a word.

Ok, let's see...... A boy is inspired at a private school by his English teacher, but later loses focus in life and just works as a clerk in an appliance store. He finally begins to focus his life when people begin to turn into zombies all over Britain, and he tries to save his friend.

Are they height-challenged?

Is Jason Statham in this one? I KNOW I've seen this in the last 3 years.

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Winter for Poland and France."

"At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops With him on top. Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V. And the dead lay in pools of maroon below. Daddy didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care" "Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy. Seemed a harmless little f***. Ooo, but we unleashed a lion" "How could I forget? And he hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurtin', ooo, dropped wide open." This one's from 1992. Anyone listen to that Seattle stuff ever?

Anchorman:the Story of Ron Burgundy Pete Wilson Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

That explains why it sounded familiar. The "medieval" thing is PULP FICTION, isn't it?

Is that "Charlie Wilson's War of the Worlds"?

Sounds like he knew a lot more about character than anyone at hq.

That does not follow logically. That's why you had to change the subject fast. No real effort to address the question, just a personal attack. If something is related SPECIFICALLY to the "mechanics" of spirit, if its sum and substance is SPIRITUAL, then its composition is PRIMARILY spiritual and its MECHANICS are primarily spiritual. Written text is PRIMARILY intellectual, and secondarily anything else. The point that was raised was the NEED for a specific PHRASEOLOGY to produce an effect that SUPPOSEDLY was SPIRITUAL and NOT intellectual. When the mysticism is stripped away, that is an issue that can't be laughed off with a glib phrase, an insult, and a change of subject. Another is the OBVIOUS COMMONALITY of the speakers. In twi, everybody's TIP and prophesy sounded the same as everyone else's. And in ex-twi groups, when doctrine changed overnight, and everyone's beliefs changed overnight, the TIP and prophesy changed overnight and just happened to match it completely. Those STRONGLY suggest that was all a matter of intellect, belief, and group cohesion rather than a thing NOT of any of those.

"Daddy didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care" "How could I forget? And he hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurtin', ooo, dropped wide open."
