  1. OMFG Ok, look, lots was awesome. Some was... underwhelming. Avoid spoilers if you can. THAT CAMEO, OMFG!!! Enjoy.
  2. WW, when are the final two parts airing for you? It's tonight for us.
  3. I'd get turned down by either of them to this day... New clue: One of two 1980s family shows in which the "teen" actor met his real life wife on set... this one did NOT feature a current or future movie star. (a wannabe, yes, but legit, no). The first time the main cast reunited was at the funeral for the lead actor in 2016. By then only one, a late addition to the cast, had become a major movie star. The "teen idol" star of this series starred in a trilogy of movies that MIGHT have been interesting to us as former followers of TWI, but not as interesting as the trilogy of movies starrins the other teen idol from the other series in the first clue.
  4. Sorry. Ok. Three movies... Life With Mikey Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey Casualties of War
  5. And since there's no question, I'll move to the next movie Hint: same lead actor: "He's like the son I might have known if God had granted me a son." ... "Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice, two percent for looking in the mirror... twice..." ... "For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."
  6. Of course he does. Eventually. Previous heroes go into hiding, as they always wanted (ex, Kingdom Come and Smallville Superman). Supergirl, Flash and Arrow (and the Canaries) all on the same Earth. Others... not so sure.
  7. Melanie Griffith got third billing in Working Girl, after Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver. Carly Simon won an Oscar for "Let the River Run." [P.S. I was clearly wrong to regarding the Grammy, Oscar. Golden Globe bit. Who could forget Celine Dion's Titanic ballad? Turns out I left out the last part: It's the only song COMPOSED AND WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY A SINGLE ARTIST to win all three awards]
  8. Harrison Ford got top billing in this romantic comedy. Second billing was NOT Alec Baldwin. It was someone most famous for working in an entirely different genre, though no stranger to a comedic role or two. Third billing went to the lead character, the title character, although the title of the movie is not a name.
  9. Sorry: George correctly identified Harrison Ford and Alec Baldwin. I'm kinda surprised that's not enough to name the movie (though, to the best of my memory, they had no scenes together).
  10. Second and third actors were not in CAWS
  11. Name the actor who played: Virgil Swann Count Vronsky Clifford Anderson Richard Collier
  12. My apologies for reading into your question, though, independent of that error on my part, I do believe I answered it. To be sure: I do not believe that the atheism I described is "atheism with a nihilistic view" per se. I think nihilism draws from a view present in the atheism I described.

    I had a very pleasant splinter group experience and have very little negative to say about it. (It was Vince Finnegan's group) But as I am no longer a believer, I'll just leave it at that.
  14. So, the actor who got top billing on this movie was really a supporting character, though a crucial one. The title character was billed third, and nominated for an Oscar. The song featured in this movie won a Grammy, an Oscar and a Golden Globe. The only other song to repeat that achievement was The Streets of Philadelphia, by Bruce Springsteen. A supporting male character was played by an actor who was not quite famous at the time [he is now VERY well known]. That actor was supposed to play the role of the actor who eventually got top billing. As a consolation, the lesser-known actor played a smaller supporting role. Interestingly, these two actors would cross professional paths again. The then-lesser known actor was cast as the lead in a well-received movie. The better known actor replaced him in two of that movie's sequels.
  15. That's like, Hmm, you didn't recognize Clint Eastwood from Revenge of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.... Maybe you say that other movie of his, Dirty Harry? Or in this case, that first song is a puzzler, but this song SHOULD have been called "The Best Days of My Life." Instead, it was the "Summer of 69," also known as the FIRST days of MY life.

  17. Now now, the Canadian government has apologized for BA on multiple occasions. I just can't place the song.
  18. What is the difference between atheism and nihilism? Good question. And it depends on how you define nihilism. Personally, I look at nihilism as a "glass half empty" subset of atheism. To nihilists, as I interpret the term, values are of no value. Nothing matters ultimately, therefore nothing matters now. I don't believe life must have an imaginary purpose in order to have a purpose at all. It is all we have. And it is worth preserving. That's a short answer. But no, atheism and nihilism are not the same thing, and believing there is no cosmic justice does not make one a nihilist.
  19. I thought it was a movie thread, so I thought it was Outrageous Fortune, which has superficial similarities
