  1. Forfeit my turn.. FREE POST just kidding The leading actor in this movie turned down his role 5 times until he finally took the part. He didn't like it until the script was rewritten. He thought it was too special-effects oriented. Others who were considered for the lead role were Brad Pitt, John Cusack, Christian Slater and Edward Norton. After its release, a lawsuit was filed claiming that a sculpture featuring human forms in some of the scenes resembled that of the sculpture ++En nihilo++ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hart_1.jpg#/media/File:Hart_1.jpg by Frederick Hart and infringed on his copywrites. A settlement was reached after threatening the video release of the picture for Warner Bros. who edited the scenes in future releases as well as attaching stickers to the unedited vertions that stated there was no relation between the sculpture in the film and Hart's work.
  2. Ohhh, I'm up? Shoot. I'll get something up soon.
  3. In the interest of progress, I'll throw something out and hope the WordWolf won't be too upset with me. After all your posturing, all you're little speeches, you're nothing but a common thief.
  4. We can't watch the Agent buy 10 pairs of cargo pants in 1983. But given enough lead time, we can look anywhere at any given time within the target range. Alright? It's the when that's always constant. It's always four days and six hours ago. It's a single trailing moment of now, in the past. So, if you can't move forward in time, how is it the image keeps speeding up like that? It's not the image that's moving faster, it's our shifting point of view. That passage of time remains constant, but we can shift our point of view within that data streams, as fast as we want. You understand? Ya, ya... no. Thing of it is, no matter how clever we think we are, the most probable outcome of our little experiment is that four and a half days ago, you get a call from the coroner's office. "Hey Agent Carlin, I want you to come down here, there's something you should see". Next thing you know, your standing over a dead corpse, and it's you.
  5. I'm not quite out of clues, but I'm getting there. The main character used this line and it is repeated near the end by another lead character. ""What if you had to tell someone the most important thing in the world, but you knew they'd would never believe you'? I'd try!
  6. That's it. Ray Kinsella is the character from Field of Dreams. Beau Burrows - Rumor Has It Lieutenant Dunbar - Dances With Wolves Roy McAvoy - Tin Cup Frank Farmer - The Bodyguard Garrett Blake - Message in a Bottle Mariner - Waterworld Mr. Earl Brooks - Mr. Brooks Your up George.
  7. You have, and for some reason I think I may have gotten lucky with my guess and came up with the right answer. I just don't recollect my answer right now. Three Amigos?
  8. Maybe this will jog someone's memory. Daniel Von Bargen was a character actor who stereotypically portrayed (on more than one occasion) a cop or a sheriff. Silence of The Lambs, O' Brother Where Art Thou, The Postman, Super Troopers, oops, I just realized I'm giving this away. Anyway, he was in the news about 3 years ago when he attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head and made a 911 call after he did it. From that point on, there was very little information (that I could find) if any, about his condition, ( it was serious, I mean he shot himself in the head) and 2 days ago I was surfing the web for something and I happened to notice that he had died earlier this year. Complications from diabetes according to IMDB. Apparently, when he shot himself he was about to have a few of his toes amputated and this distressed him. He already had one of his legs removed at that time, so I can see why he was distraught. Rest in peace Daniel Von Bargen. You will be missed.
  9. No, this is not a Tom Cruise movie. Even though this movie was well received at the box office, most critics agree that it seems too familiar and reminds them of the same old plot and same characters that you see every time you watch a time warp movie.
  10. Holly Hunter O Brother Where Art Thou Daniel Von Bargen
  11. I'm having trouble putting the video's up I want but here's the link to the song. ~Loren Greene~ Ringo
  12. Of course that would be My Cousin Vinny. What was the other one WordWolf? Sylvester Stallone Jason Stratham Dolph Lundgren
  13. We're locked. Minus four days, six hours, three minutes and forty-five seconds. Is this video? No. Digital re-creation? Nope! The guy with the backpack, and blue jacket. I'm on him! You can't do that. You can't change the angle on video shot four days ago. You can't do this either. Keep your eyes at the edge of the screen. [ The screen moves sideways revealing more of the scene, enabling them to see around corners, inside rooms, inside houses]. Not our guy. Back to general surveillance. Alright Doug, let's get you up to speed. You've developed a working time window. You can look into the past. From the look of things, it's a prototype machine, developed on limited funds, probably built for no more than ten billion. Your using it as an investigative tool, trying to find a clue to the identity of the ferry bomber. The only thing I don't understand is why you're looking at four days ago, and not yesterday when it happened. You can only look back four days, six hours and change. But that's it, no more no less. We can't see ten minutes ago. We can't look back and see if there was a second gunman. We can look anywhere but the when is four days ago. A single trailing moment of *now* in the past.
  14. Bram Stoker's Dracula Gary Oldman Air force One How about we don't use Harrison Ford here. Wasn't Close the VP of that one.
  15. You should see it George. A fun show, and Madeline Stowe. No Raf. that wasn't it. 12 Monkeys was about time travel. The thing with movie is it is about changing time, more so, than it is about time travel. There is a time machine and they use it to travel back in time, but only 4 days. The same actor who played in this movie also played in Frequency (Jim Caveziel) another time warp time travel movie.. But you probably didn't see that either I'm guessing George, did you?
  16. 2 LL's... Surveilling, 2 L's. since this is such a tremendous waste of taxpayer money, at least we could do is get the spelling right. That's not necessarily true. Branching Universe Theory holds......you can do... Ohhh.. Branching....Universe....Theory, Ohhh, no, no, no.... Alright, I'll show you. The traditional view of time is linear, like a river, flowing from the past to the future. But you can change the course of a river, right? Exactly, introduce a significant enough event at any point in this river and you create a new branch, still flowing toward the future, but along a different route. Changed. Yeah, but that river is the Mississippi and were lobbing what amounts to a pebble into it. That's a very few tiny ripples in a kind of big body of water, don't you think? Traditionalist. Say we do create this new branch. What happens to the old one, to this one? Ask the radical!.. Well, it might continue parallel to the new branch. Most likely, it ceases to exist. The idea is we cease to exist, alright? Or this version of us, anyway. Umm, we never came here. We never met Doug, we don't remember it ever happening. Well, that's worth ten billion right there. For all my career, I've been trying to catch people after they do something horrible. Just once in my life, I'd like to catch somebody before to do something horrible. You think you know what's coming? You don't have a clue! I told you, I have a destiny, a purpose. Satan reasons like a man but God thinks of eternity. Well, I prostate myself before a world that's going to hell in a hand bag, because in all eternity, I am here, I will be remembered. That's destiny! A bomb has a destiny, a predetermined fate set by the hand of its creator. And anyone who tries to alter that destiny will be destroyed. Anyone who tries to stop it from happening will cause it to happen. And that's what you don't understand. We're not here to coexist. I'm here to win. You better have some divine intervention Buddy. Your gonna need it. You better have some K Y jelly. You're gonna need it. "Here's some new clues". It's a brand new program. It's called Snow White. Our primary data comes from seven orbiting satellites but at any given time as many as four are surveilling one area. It's like having multiple eyewitnesses, each with their own vantage point. Snow White... Is she alive or is she dead? Alright: Life, like time and space, is not merely a local phenomenon. [screaming] Oh Alright! Am I asking a hard question? [Muttering] Looks like I picked a bad week to stop snorting hash. I'll tell you what: I will speak slow so that those of you with Ph.D's in the room can understand. Here, look. Here's a monitor, right? [Throws a chair against the monitor, breaking it] Now the monitor is broken. It's dead. It's not temporarily transitioned to another state of entropy, it's *dead*. Right. Now is *she* alive or is she *dead*? Now the monitor is broken. It's dead. It's not temporarily transitioned to another state of entropy, it's *dead*. Right. Now is *she* alive or is she *dead*? Alright. Now we're getting somewhere.
  17. He lay face down in the desert sand Clutching his six-gun in his hand Shot from behind, I thought he was dead But under his heart was an ounce of lead But a spark still burned so I used my knife And late that night I saved the life I nursed him till the danger passed The days went by, he mended fast Then from dawn till setting sun He practiced with that deadly gun And hour on hour I watched in awe No human being could match the draw ne day we rode the mountain crest And I went east and he went west I took to law and wore a star While he spread terror near and far With lead and blood he gained such fame All throught the West they feared the name Here's a little more lyrics. The actor who sang it was mainly a television actor, however, he did do some movies. He was a narrator of a sort / singer. According to Wiki he put out 10 of these narrator/singer type albums. Known for his deep resonant voice.
  18. Good guess, I guess? I kind of remember that song. However, no. That's not it.
