Are we supposed to ignore the fact that Galen just posted?

Hayden Christensen. And if you haven't seen Shattered Glass, please do so immediately. It proves that HC is a very good actor ill served by George Lucas.

It is Stephen Glass. Now stop whining. It really makes you seem less threatening when you whine. And just name the actor.

Y'all on doctrinal turf. -
Oh, I'm up. ok... David Rice Sam Monroe Stephen Glass Clay Beresford Name the actor. There's one more character, and it's a giveaway (though the other character has been played by more than one person). One of the characters listed above would also be a giveaway for me, but I'm not so sure it is for the rest of you. It's a work thing.

"Say hello to Grandmama. Ice 'em!"

But Clarence doesn't exist. He's a fictional character. Plenty of room for anyone who doesn't exist. Hence... all of them.

And that would be incorrect. :)
-
All of them

Free-ish post. I'll try to come up with something, but if someone thinks of something first and wants to jump in, I won't complain.

That would not have helped

Oh! Only heard of it, never saw it... The Parallax View to a Kill

I'm not opposed to the notion of developing classes, but I am opposed to the notion of charging for them unless the recipient is getting something tangible in return or it's clear that we're paying for rented space. Or both. From my understanding of CES and, later, STFI, those who paid for the classes actually GOT the class. The whole set of tapes/CD's. That's fair. You're selling a product. But in the case of TWI and its offshoots, it really seems to me that these classes are less about teaching than they are about cultic-socialization and indoctrination. And yes, there's a difference. Teaching develops critical thinking skills. Indoctrination does not. TWI talked a good game when it came to critical thinking, but it was manipulated to the point that what we were actually taught and encouraged to do was parrot what the organization wanted us to think and say. Without exception, all of these "foundational classes," from PFAL to WAP to Whatever-the-devil-they're-calling-this, do not seek to teach as much as they seek to encourage group cohesion. Here's what to say. Here's how to say it. Here's what to think. Here's how to think it. Without exception, they all begin with their conclusion, and encourage us to disregard anything that challenges that conclusion. What's the greatest secret in the world today? The Bible is the revealed Word and Will of God. Really? That's the greatest secret in the world? Because if so, it's poorly kept. Lots of people believe that, whether they phrase it that way or not. Cures for cancer, ALS, autism, amputee regeneration? Not as secret as something believed by millions. Nonsense. And along with being the word and will of God, it's perfect! One preposition out of place and your Bible would fall to pieces (until a preposition is shown to be out of place. Then you're nitpicking). In any other field, if you start with your conclusion and discard anything that conflicts with it, you're an intellectual fraud. But when it comes to the Bible, you're steadfast! I attended a church in South Florida that never seemed to see a need to "run classes." If they wanted to start a class, they just started teaching on the subject every Sunday. Keep coming to church, and you've got the whole class. Yes, they recorded it, so if you wanted to see it all again, you could buy it later. But if you want to find the class from five years ago? Yeah, good luck with that. It shouldn't be about the classes. Ever. It should be about the content, which should be shared constantly. Anyway, good luck with this class, JALynn. I'm sure it will be an improvement over the last one, but not over the next one. -
"Hey Flash, wanna hear a joke?" "No!" "Sure." "What do you call a three-humped camel?" "I... don't... know... What... do... you call... a three... humped... camel?" "Pregnant!" ".........ha!........ha!.......ha!"

WW is correct.

I'd like to see you guys (and others, TLC, MRAP, anyone else) hash this out peacefully. I think this thread is healthy. Please continue.

A View to a Kill

This associated with a clue on another game thread?

Silence of the Lambs Nice quote selection because it's a scene transition. The scene cuts to the next scene after the second line. Well done. "That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!"

Good guess! And it has the added virtue of being the correct guess!

Clever I'm just going by the technical clues. Never heard of Sophie Thompson, but Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter starred together in the Harry Potter series. But they weren't themselves (hence the technically) So Daniel Radcliffe's body and Helena Bonham Carter's body were used to portray the same character. There's a giveaway actress, which means the character is female. Which female impersonated both Harry Potter and Bellatrix Lestrange? Well, EVERYONE impersonated Harry at the beginning of Deathly Hallows I, so that narrows nothing down. But Bellatrix? I know of only one. Hermione Granger. The giveaway would have been Emma Watson.

WordWolf: I think we agree as far as what you wrote. Where we take it from there, I suspect we disagree. :)
