  1. This movie tells the tale of Santa Claus trying to prove he is Santa Claus. Good thing some martial artists are trying to help him- an evil crimelord martial artist is trying to prove he is not! The cast includes Natalie Wood and Raul Julia.
  2. The Rocketeer Timothy Dalton Looney Tunes: Back in Action
  3. I didn't know about this, but it wouldn't surprise me. What I'm sure happened was, they went out and filed the paperwork, and it was accepted. That's not the same as the paperwork being LEGAL. Since the work that was trademarked was already well-known as the "intellectual property" of another organization, and in use by them for DECADES before this- AND THIS WAS WELL-KNOWN to them- then anytime twi wants to, twi can sue the heck out of them for it. The only way they legally can have obtained it otherwise is if they are actively LICENSING the trademark from twi.
  4. There's some things that get melded together in people's minds, and they make it hard to PURELY discuss what came up originally. There's LOTS of people who firmly believe in the power of God- myself included- who believe people see it in their lives now- myself included- who think that the twi/modern sit is in no way connected to the Biblical sit. So, some people will say "Because I believe in the power of God, I can't even consider whether or not vpw passed a fake on to us, because I'd have to dump the idea of healing, miracles, etc if I think vpw taught us a fake on something else." And, in fact, that IS what's been said here, at one point. And confirmed. I'm not convinced, definitively, that Biblical sit is not available now. I'm convinced I haven't seen it or experienced it. If it is out there, I WANT to see and experience it. I won't do that if I accept a conman's product as the genuine article. Now, healing and revelation, those I've experienced- no thanks to twi or vpw. Lots of Christians understand those, most without classes.
  5. *laughs* That's an interesting idea. However, a few people would still be trying to be the sole voices, and they'd feel free to lie with impunity. We still have some social discussions, and we still have a few new discussions that are relevant. (I've had at least 2 new ideas for threads, but I haven't had time to get them going.)
  6. I imagine that a few people out of hundreds were just posting to be political, but if it were more, then the successor political board would be pretty busy. But ex-twi boards of every kind all have dwindled, as did any twi boards. For the few who wanted to applaud twi, there was only so much to say before it was obvious there were only about a dozen posts to rehash, and everything was a variation of that. As for the GSC, it has existed to warn others about twi, and to help others survive twi. It has succeeded in both. Others don't fall for twi's deception and traps- partly because of the GSC, partly for several other reasons. As for survival and recovery, well, duh. Most people who have posted on the GSC post-twi have recovered and gone on with their lives. So, they have families, they have kids, they have churches, they have outside interests which are relevant to their present. That leaves them with less time to post here. I wish a few of them would post more, but in general, I say it's great because they are all twi success stories. Ok, a few ex-posters are not because twi is still in them even if they are not in twi, and a few ex-posters were here because they wanted to argue, or troll the board, or say how terrible we are to warn people about twi or for ever being Christians or any other pet cause they have to attack people (including, I imagine, political ones.) However, ALL messageboards have that. All groups eventually have someone there who has no real reason to be THERE other than "You haven't kicked me out." All messageboards have to deal with contentionm rudeness and flamewars. Since almost every poster who ever did that has moved on as well, there's an absence of flamewars as well. Some people can consider that for a bad thing-I do not. I think important things get lost among those.
  7. I figure part may be "Philadelphia" but I'm stumped on the rest.
  8. YES! And thank you. I was willing to accept anything close to the title- like titles in other languages or English translations of same. (Like "Scott Pilgrim" or "Scott Pilgrim gegen den Rest der Welt" or "Scott Pilgrim vs the Exes of the Girl of His Dreams".) Actually, it's VERSUS the world, but it's freaking close enough, so we move on.
  9. "You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!" "Wait! We're fighting over Ramona?" "Didn't you get my email explaining the situation? "I skimmed it." "You will pay for your insolence!" "He punched the highlights out of her hair!" "We are Sex Bob-Omb and we are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff." "Amazon.ca! What's the website for that?" "Amazon.ca. " "You broke the heart that broke mine." "Well, if my cathedral of cutting-edge taste holds no interest for your tragically Canadian sensibilities, then I shall be forced to grant you a swift exit from the premises... and a fast entrance into hell!" "What kind of tea do you want?" "There's more than one kind?" "We have blueberry, raspberry, ginseng, sleepy time, green tea, green tea with lemon, green tea with lemon and honey, liver disaster, ginger with honey, ginger without honey, vanilla almond, white truffel, blueberry chamomile, vanilla walnut, constant comment and... earl grey." "Did you make some of those up?" "If you want something bad, you have to fight for it. Step up your game, Scott. Break out the L-word." "Lesbian?" "The other L-word." "...Lesbians???" "Every Pilgrim reaches the end of its journey... some sooner than others." "Do you have any idea how long it took me to get all the evil exes' contact information so I could form this stupid league? Like, two hours! Two hours!" " Prepare to feel the wrath of the League of the Evil Exes." "What about Ramona Flowers?" "You know her? Tell me now." "Scott has unlocked the Power of Love!" " You doing okay there? "Yeah, good, good, good. She changed her hair." "So, it looks nice blue!" "Yeah I know, but she did it without making a big deal out of it or anything... She's fickle, impulsive, spontaneous... God what am I going to do? "
  10. It was Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want". FREE POST. I'll post something else if no one posts sooner.

  13. "Somewhere there's speaking it's already coming in. Oh, and it's rising at the back of your mind. You never could get it unless you were fed it Now you're here and you don't know why. But under skinned knees and the skid marks Past the places where you used to learn You howl and listen, listen and wait for The echoes of angels who won't return." "You're waiting for someone to put you together. You're waiting for someone to push you away. There's always another wound to discover. There's always something more you wish he'd say." "But you'll just sit tight and watch it unwind. It's only what you're asking for. And you'll be just fine with all of your time It's only what you're waiting for. Out of the island into the highway, Past the places where you might have turned. You never did notice but you still hide away The anger of angels who won't return." "He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be He says all the right things at exactly the right time But he means nothing to you and you don't know why."

  18. That's the show. Opinions vary as to who would be what. The Professor is usually Pride, Mr Howell is Greed, and Ginger is Lust. After that, MaryAnn is generally assigned Envy, and Mrs Howell Sloth. The Skipper is sometimes assigned both Gluttony AND Wrath- gluttony just because he's fat, and wrath because he's always hitting Gilligan with his hat. Gilligan is sometimes assigned Gluttony (he could be bribed with food, sometimes) and other times there's nothing to assign him- he's Satan because he's in red, and they are there because of him (he ruins their exits, it's named after him.) None of this was planned, but after years of saying that, Sherwood Schwartz' answers to questions began to change. Obviously, if they all really WOULD be assigned one, then there would be little disagreement as to who got what.

  20. No matter what anyone says now, there were never any plans to have the 7 main characters of this well-know sitcom represent the 7 deadly sins. The producer heard the theory from fans decades later and endorsed it.

  23. Oddly enough, with the line about wondering if he's a good guy, it reminded me of the "Angel" TV show, with David Boreanaz as the titular vampire.
