  1. Yes, that's the only series so far that fairly could be referred to as "Star Trek" in quotes with no other qualifier, since that's its entire name, and no other series so far has that as its entire name.
  2. Blue Beetle Susan Sarandon The Rocky Horror Picture Show(the original)
  3. Ok, next one. This was a sitcom. Among the primary cast was someone who appeared in an episode of "Star Trek." Also among the primary cast was a character who was related to Art Carney, which led to an appearance BY Art Carney as someone wanted him to endorse a chili for mass production- "Chili Con Carney." The same character once tried to break the Guinness World Record for continuous tap-dancing. We also had a single parent raising a kid.
  4. *looks it up* I think I saw these, but I didn't see them OR the Hillbilly Bears on that show. Meanwhile, it's WordWolf's turn again... Oh, that's me! Hang on.....
  5. The rule, established at the beginning of the thread, is identifying the movie. Some of us like to add the name of the character or the scene, but that's not required, that's just us communicating and having a little fun. (It's optional, but often appreciated when it's done.) Feel free to name the actor and/or the character. Just don't forget to name the movie, that was the whole point! :)
  6. For the benefit of the other readers, I'm going to attempt to fairly translate what Oldiesman said. (Whether or not I agree with him.) He said that expression and image- "Father in The Word" was a powerful image and made an impact. As such, he uses a variation of that expression- "mother in Catholicism"- for the woman who encouraged Oldiesman to return to Catholicism. I don't think he meant to be misunderstood- I think I understood him just fine- but he might have been just a little bit clearer in his communication.
  7. The first quote was translated from Cantonese, since Wayne was practicing it to impress Cassandra. He apparently got pretty far since he managed this sentence in Cantonese. Ed ONeill played a guy working at their favorite diner. Apparently, he's led an interesting life- but we'll never find out what he's done before now.... The clip of "Wayne's World" with "amazing discoveries" ended with Garth's head being sucked up by the "suck-cut"- which actually is the same as the real-world invention the flowbee (cutting hair while vacuuming it up.) Wayne considered fame versus artistic integrity. Garth was sneaking and dropped at the wrong angle and fell on his keys (he hurt his thigh.) One scene had Benjamin talking to them about the sponsor's segment in the show. Wayne and Garth repudiated sponsorship- all in between VERY conspicuous product placements- Pizza Hut, Reebok, Nuprin, and Pepsi. George's turn!
  8. It IS the first Wayne's World movie.
  9. "The problem is, I feel responsible for her self-nullifying behavior." "Turn it off, man! Turn it off! It's sucking my will to live!" "I mean, Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes that everyone liked. They left that to the Bee Gees." "Guys! Wait up! I fell on my keys!" "I'd never done a crazy thing in my life before that night. Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle it's called heroic, yet if he kills a man in the heat of passion it's called murder?" "Listen, we need to have a talk about Vanderhoff. The fact is, he's the sponsor, and you signed a contract guaranteeing him certain concessions, one of them being a spot on the show." "Well, that's where I see things just a little differently. Contract or no, I will not bow to any sponsor." "Sorry you feel that way, but basically, it's the nature of the beast." "Maybe I'm wrong on this one, but for me, the beast doesn't include selling out. Garth, you know what I'm talking about, right?" "It's like people only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad." "I can't talk about it anymore. It's giving me a headache." "Here, take two of these." "Ahh, Nuprin. Little. Yellow. Different." "Look, you can stay here in the big-leagues and play by the rules, or you can go back to the farm club in Aurora. It's your choice. " "Yes, and it's The Choice of a New Generation."
  10. Apparently, I haven't logged in lately. I remember the cartoons well. Uh, oh, chango! Danger Island would ring a bell all by itself. "Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork, Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork." - right from the theme song of THE BANANA SPLITS. Any idea what happened in the cross-over? (And I never saw "Micro Ventures", can you tell me something about them?)
  11. Seymour Goldfarb Junior! Or ROGER MOORE, who played him, and who Seymour thought he was. If it's me, open it to a FREE POST.
  12. It does seem evident that the sinner's REPENTANCE is a necessary part of the equation. We forgive IF HE REPENTS. If he continues in sin and demands forgiveness regardless, that's nothing at all like we are instructed to do, and we don't have to do it. We are, however, to be wary around anyone who would demand it, or even ask it, for that matter. Now, for those who would SINCERELY wonder about someone trespassing AND REPENTING all day (7 times), I would point out that HYPERBOLE is a legitimate figure of speech people use all the time in English, and others understand them all the time. It's possible to misunderstand hyperbole- as it's possible to misunderstand ALL communications- but it's a lot more common if someone's TRYING to misunderstand it. [/b] [/b] Example of misunderstanding clear communication: William Shatner: " I’ve spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled… y’know… hundreds of miles to be here, I’d just like to say… GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it’s just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you’re dressed! You’ve turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! It's just a TV show!" Fan: "Are you saying we should pay more attention to the movies?"
  13. "The problem is, I feel responsible for her self-nullifying behavior." "Turn it off, man! Turn it off! It's sucking my will to live!" "I mean, Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes that everyone liked. They left that to the Bee Gees." "Guys! Wait up! I fell on my keys!" "I'd never done a crazy thing in my life before that night. Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle it's called heroic, yet if he kills a man in the heat of passion it's called murder?"
  14. I get those 2 confused, too. "ROBIN HOOD-PRINCE OF THIEVES." (Will Scarlet, Christian Slater.)
  15. Sam Kinison died in a CAR crash. I'd heard it was a T-Bone crash, but apparently it was a head-on collision with a pickup truck driven by a 17-year old who had been drinking and had crossed the center line while trying to pass someone. (So, he drove head-on into oncoming highway traffic and rammed Sam's car.) BTW, some people might find Sam's last words interesting. He was dying on the scene. He was heard to be having an argument with nobody. ""I don't want to die. I don't want to die." (Pause) ""But why?" (Pause) "Okay, okay, okay." Opinions on this can vary between "the eyewitness made it up or was imagining it" through "Sam was messing with someone in his final moments" and "Sam was hallucinating in his last moments like in 'rapture of the deep' " and "Sam was communicating with someone who was there but not seen". Arguments can be made for all of them, take your pick.
  16. I think George was thinking of Stevie Ray Vaughn of Double Trouble. He died in a HELICOPTER crash, not a plane crash. (It's who I thought of, at least.)
  17. They weren't victims of the plane crash. Afterwards, they caught the last coastal train.
  18. The sentiment sounds like Billy Joel, but I can't pin it to any song I recognize.
  19. Taking one of my wild swings here..... "Letters From Iwo Jima", with the shared characteristic of neither movie being released with English audio??
  20. I actually resorted to sitting with lists of the names of the Beatles albums and the songs on them, then tried to hear each song in my head until I thought I heard that one.
  21. It was a short quote, so it could have appeared somewhere else. Ok, let's see,,,,,
  22. I know the artists, but which song..... "I Am The Walrus??"
  23. Harrison Ford the Fugitive Joe Pantoliano
