  1. Mind if I jump in? There are a number of popular songs that I like to joke are known by the wrong name. These are songs where a lot of people genuinely believe this is the name (or they would be justified in believing so) but the name is actually something different. To win this round, correctly identify the REAL name of five songs, along with the artist (in cases of covers, either artist will do as long as it charted). 1. "Never Gonna Dance Again" 2. "If You Like Pina Coladas" 3. "I Get Knocked Down (But I Get Up Again)" 4. "I Feel Good." 5. "Rolling on the River" 6. "Hey, What's Going On?" 7. "I Would Walk 500 Miles" 8. "Turn the Radio Up!" 9. "Someone Left a Cake Out in the Rain." 10.... and of course... "Teenage Wasteland" (a freebie as it was a recent answer on another thread).
  2. Every now and then we resurrect a topic I like to call "songs with the wrong name." I'm not going to look for it, but you know the songs. Hey, this might make a good everything trivia question.
  3. Oh I forgot to come back to VPW's distinction between a resurrection and a rising. I'm going from memory, so if anyone still has Are the Dead Alive Now, feel free to chime in. We know Revelation teaches that there will be a resurrection of the just and a resurrection of the unjust. But where does the Gathering Together fit in? Well, the GC is not a resurrection at all, because even though all those people are getting up from the dead, they're joining people who are living, so it's just a rising, not a resurrection. See? As opposed to the first and second resurrections, which feature formerly dead people... also... joining... the living... wait.
  4. Just listened to the beginning and it reminded me of the ridiculous distinction VPW tried to draw between a resurrection and a rising. You guys remember that nonsense?
  5. I totally forgot this was here. I think there are a bunch of things that need to be revisited in light of dwindling participation. I want to find some way to preserve our testimonies and reconsiderations of what The Way taught. No solid answers here. We'll figure something out.
  6. Meryl Streep was engaged to John Cazale [Fredo from The Godfather] when he died. Dustin Hoffman kept name dropping him to get Streep to not like him. Streep won an Oscar and left it in the turlet. You're up.
  7. Not Paper Moon And we can rule out the Godfather I and II
  8. Come on, how many Best Picture winners of the 70s feature two antagonistic people and a ypung kid with a role significant enough to get a nomination? I was hoping this would be a giveaway
  9. Not THAT antagonistic. Although the lead actor did throw a glass in a fit that wasn't in the script. Only the actor, director and cameraman knew what was going to happen. Everyone else stayed in character. I believe I said this was a Best Picture winner, so The Shining is Out.
  10. It was best supporting actress, if i recall correctly.
  11. Every Best Picture winner of the 1970s has been selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Film Registry for preservation: except this one. The two main adult characters were supposed to have an antagonistic relationship, so to get his scene partner in character, the lead actor would occasionally drop the name of the lead actress' recently deceased fiance, himself an Oscar nominated actor. The lead actress won an Oscar for her role. Later that night, she left it in the bathroom at an after party. The lead actor also won an Oscar. He thanked his ex-wife for preparing him for the role. One non-winner was for Best Supporting Actor. The child who was nominated was 8. He remains the youngest nominee in any category.
  12. Next quote would have been the cop saying you're not going to kill each other on my beat and Bernardo asking him to translate that into Spanish. This was the original movie, not the remake.
