  1. What's par on Humphrey Bogart/Drew Barryomore?
  2. My next one will have to wait until the morning. If someone else wants to jump in, feel free.
  3. Woohoo! I may have done this one already, but what the heck, we're on page 74 already. :) "I pay for your life. My life makes your life possible.' "I resent that." "So do I!"
  4. That does help. Actually, it makes it simple, even not knowing off the top of my head who the last pic is of. Pirates of the Caribbean
  5. The Burning Bed is in. "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is out, since only seven people saw it.
  6. Let's try movies only. TV if you're totally totally stumped. Only major TV events count as movies (Roots, yes: Lifetime movie of the week that aired once in 1997, no).
  7. Jimmy Stewart was in The Shootist with Harry Morgan Harry Morgan was in Dragnet with Dan Aykroyd Let's have some fun. Alan Alda/Tupac Shakur [3] By the way, this should go without saying, but you MUST connect in six links or less. You don't have to make or beat the par score.
  8. Antonio Banderas/Shirley Jones
  9. When were Brando and DeNiro together? Godfather doesn't count because they were in different movies. Oh well. Orson Welles was in the Muppet Movie with Mel Brooks Brooks was in Spaceballs with Bill Pullman Pullman was in A League of Their Own with Madonna
  10. Whoops. didn't see Pirate's post.
  11. Well done. Mine was Marilyn in How to Marry a Millionaire with Lauren Bacall, Bacall in Dogville with James Caan, Caan in Leaving Las Vegas with Nic Cage. Sharon, pick two actors.
  12. Cool. I went Damon to Don Cheadle (Ocean's 11); Cheadle to Warren Beatty (Bulworth); Beatty to Hepburn (Love Affair) and Hepburn to Rooster Cogburn. :) Hmm, Monroe and Cage... Hmmm.... What's the par? Actually, that should be kinda easy. If I get it, I'll let you know my score. But I want to let others play.
  13. Jayson Blair didn't plagiarize the work of his fellow New York Times reporters, or the Washington Post. He plagiarized a newspaper in San Antonio, figuring no one would know. Now that victim of Blair's plagiarism is fairly well-known, better known perhaps than she would have been had Blair not plagiarized her. But that doesn't justify Blair's wicked act. Get it?
  14. That doesn't justify plagiarism. Most plagiarists are more famous than their sources. That's how they get away with it. You steal from Mozart, people say you stole from Mozart. You steal from Salieri, people applaud your genius. Who sues the big musical artists for plagiarism? Right, unknown artists and writers. I never would have heard of "The African" had Alex Haley not plagiarized portions of it in "Roots." Now I own a copy of The African, but I do not own a copy of Roots. Nonetheless, Haley was still wrong to commit the plagiarism.
  15. Culkin was in The Pagemaster with Ed Begley Jr. Begley was in Renaissance Man with Danny Devito Devito was in Mars Attacks with Sarah Jessica Parker Parker was in Miami Rhapsody with Mia Farrow. Whew. Another tough one: Matt Damon/John Wayne
  16. Farrow to Culkin is a tough one. Trying...
  17. But that was an all Trek cast. Try this on: William Shatner was in Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock Sandra Bullock was in While You Were Sleeping with Bill Pullman Bill Pullman was in Independence Day with Jeff Goldblum Jeff Goldblum was in Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Leonard Nimoy. :) deleted... go with Karmicdebt's: Mia Farrow/Macauley Culkin [5]
  18. Saying that he got his ideas from other sources is not plagiarism. GETTING his ideas from other sources is not plagiarism. LIFTING whole paragraphs and sections from other people's works and passing them off as if they were his own expression of those ideas is plagiarism. Remember RTHST, How Wierwille said he called certain people "Faith Blasters" because of so and so reason. Then we find that he lifted those exact words from Stiles. The Question AND the Answer. Yeah, he made some changes. But it was still plagiarism, plain as day. Take a look at Order My Steps in Thy Word. In one chapter, he's lifting Kenyon word for word, without attribution, then has the kindness of heart to actually cite Kenyon for another lengthy quote. The lengthy quote citation was not plagiarism, but what preceded it most certainly was. The Counsel of the Lord in the Blue Book? Compare it to some of the writings of Bullinger. It wasn't borrowed ideas. The majority of the structure of that chapter, and the words used, were taken straight from Bullinger. Not quoted, TAKEN. Leonard, Stiles, Bullinger, Kenyon... three of them were dead and unaware of Wierwille's plagiarism. The forth was aware and was upset enough to include a page condemning plagiarism in future printings of his books. Everyone gets their ideas from elsewhere. That's not what plagiarism is. Getting a doctrine from elsewhere is not plagiarism either. What Wierwille did - THAT was plagiarism, Smikeolean apologetics notwithstanding.
