  1. William Hurt Broadcast News Holly Hunter
  2. Snoop Dogg? Ugh. Trying to remember that black-themed "Airplane" movie (which MUST have been financed by the KKK it was so racist...) Umm, where was I? Oh yeah... Soul Plane Tom Arnold True Lies
  3. So what we're really saying, then, is that Wierwille wasn't really a Doctor, but he was no less a doctor than oodles of other preachers wandering around the country with the title "The Rev. Dr." I've met a number of people with that title, and let me tell you, I don't find it that far-fetched. But then, I don't recall asking anyone with that title where they got the title from.
  4. The felonious crimes thing might be throwing you off. Let me try something else: Teenage girl falls for creepy old guy who has a habit of breaking and entering, not to mention routinely slaughtering wild animals. The "creepy old guy" is throwing you off, but that's on purpose.
  5. Listen to what the babies are thinking...
  6. That is... seriously not correct.
  7. And now, back to our program: Teenage girl falls for creepy old guy who commits felonious crimes without care and routinely slaughters animals.
  8. It's probably considered an old movie now, but not by us. Of course, it's also a new movie, relatively speaking. But this is the old movie.
  9. Teenage girl falls for creepy old guy who commits felonious crimes without care and routinely slaughters animals. Did not!
  10. Denzel Washington Carbon Copy George Segal Who saw THAT one coming?
  11. Let's just assume you're right and you can move the game along...
  12. Sean Penn Mystic River Kevin Bacon Because now and then, as a matter of principal, the game ought to come back and pay homage to Kevin Bacon.
  13. Smurfs is the best answer Enchanted would work if not for the "they"
  14. As for vpw's snowstorm hotel story, it should be clear by now that there was no angel on either side of that phone call.
  15. The gullibility of the hearer is no guarantee of the integrity of the speaker. The notion that people took Wierwille the Deceiver at his word and didn't question his credentials proves only that we trusted him, not that he earned or deserved that trust.
  16. The Hangover. "The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake."
  17. First of all, let's clarify something: I refuse to even discuss the issue if the opening line was "If he wasn't really a doctor..." Ok? There's no "if." There's a "Now that it's been established," but that's far different from "if." If you want to start the dialogue with "If he wasn't really a doctor," then you are starting with the premise that he WAS really a doctor, and you must thus abandon the "but it doesn't matter to me" position you took earlier, seeing as it clearly DOES matter to you. "If the moon isn't made of green cheese, then why didn't you challenge it before you were born?" The second half is not worth addressing because the first half is absurd. "If Elvis isn't really alive, what about the people who've spotted him in Alabama truck stops?" See? The second half doesn't need to be addressed because the first half is so silly. "If Wierwille wasn't a doctor, why didn't you call him on it before he died?" If? IF?? Ain't no if.
  18. Okay, no one knows who was in Manhunter. Shame, cuz it was a great movie remade as the Hannibal Lecter flick "Red Dragon." Manhunter actually came out a few years before Silence of the Lambs. And Hannibal was played by... Brian Cox The Ring Naomi Watts
  19. I always thought Planet of the Apes was the most racist movie of all time. You're up, Lupine.
  20. White man learns he doesn't rule the world anymore because THEY took over.
  21. Every time I see this thread, I want to shout "no more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
  22. Clear as the difference between all with a distinction and all without distinction. See, to those unaware of the circumstances that brought about this thread, I look like I'm nitpicking to prove Wierwille was full of garbage. I'm not. I'm nitpicking to prove that holding Wierwille's work up as the epitome of holy perfection is full of garbage. Since embarking on that search, I've grown to care not a whit about its success. THAT's the freedom I needed, the freedom I found at the Greasespot Cafe. If you think Wierwille's writings have no value, discard them. If you think they have some value, dissect them. If you think they have great value, treasure them. If you think they have unmatched value in the annals of Christianity, enshrine them. I think you're batcrap insane, but you didn't ask me and I have no desire whatsoever to hear from you or talk you out of it. Personally, I wish this thread and topic would vanish. People come to it looking for substance and they find quibbling over minutiae. You want to know the truth? Brace yourself: Wierwille was a power hungry crackpot who exploited your hunger and thirst for righteousness so that his lusts could be filled. His words dripped with honey, his deeds with glue. He ensnared us all and held us longer than any of us deserved. Trying to find the value in PFAL is like trying to find out how much calcium is in the cheese attached to a mousetrap. Yes, it has calcium, and calcium is good for you, and cheese is good for you, and oh, by the way, take it and die. It was a trap. What's right with it? It worked like a charm. What's wrong with it? Charms don't work. $40 please. Or $50. Or $200. Actual errors in PFAL? These weren't errors. These were deceptions. Be free of them already.
  23. That is correct. And yes, I went from giveaway to please, you've gotta know this... 1st exschange is between Norman (Henry Fonda) and the teenager Billy (Doug McKeon). The second is a classic back and forth between Norman (age 80) and Ethel (Katherine Hepburn playing a 75 year old). The third is between Norman and Billy Sr. (Dabney Coleman), boyfriend of Norman's daughter Chelsea (Jane Fonda). The fourth is Chelsea and Norman. And the last one is the opening line of the movie, spoken by Ethel.
