It was the Goonies.

In any event, if I vanish, just take over.

Close enough. The original The was on the GSC's predecessor site, Waydale. I believe it was April 14, 2000, which totally coincidentally the very same day GSC debuted. In any event, we were on Waydale at the time. There was a competitor site to Waydale that was run by John Lynn's group, Christian Educational Services, which was more openly and explicitly Christian. Waydale didn't care what you believed (like GSC). CES cared. And the contributors did not. Eventually, CES decided it was not worth their time to continue to host a message board where an increasing number of people were committed to badmouthing God, Christ, Christianiy and CES. So they shut the board down. On April 14, 2000. Maybe it was April 15. Not relevant. So I went on Waydale to let folks know the The CES Board has been taken down (that was the thread title). The first post was something to the effect of, "Well, looks like the folks at CES have decided it's not worth it to host a message board where a growing number of people are challenging their doctrine and" blah blah blah. But when the thread posted, for no reason I can figure out, only the first word of the thread title and one word of the post survived. The Well, And people responded. And responded. And responded. Thousands and thousands and thousands of responses. It shut down Waydale. They had to close the thread. A new one popped up in its place. And another. And another., Waydale shut down. Greasespot became our new home. THE followed. It took YEARS for it to finally die. Seriously, some actual GSC members died before THE did. Anyway, this was a joke to let everyone know we were back online. BUT We're going to do another fundraiser because Pawtucket cannot and shpould not handle the expense alone. So buckle up. We need your help if you want GSC to stay open. To be continued. It. Just. Won't. Die.

Incidentally, I want credit for following up quickly on multiple occasions when I've been distracted. Thank you all for jumping in when it's obvious I've been distracted

Very good. I THOUGHT that was the answer to the last question, but Streisand didn't direct. It was one year later. Both starred Nick Nolte though. The director was George Miller, a doctor (who knew?) who directed the Mad Max movies as well as Happy Feet 1 and 2, featuring Robin Williams as Lovelace and Ramon. Both worth watching, though the sequel is far more fun. Yes, Lorenzo was a child, which made it possible for multiple "actors" to play him as he aged. And yes, sadly, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 30, though he was not expected to outlive childhood.

Based on a true story. One of the doctors who figured in the true story actually appears in this movie as himself. The director is also a medical doctor, though you would never know from the movie series that made him famous (or from the animated movies that he made featuring Robin Williams in two separate roles each). Where was I? Oh, the medical movie... Six different actors played the title character. None are famous now. Four were boys. Transgender did not factor into the plot. The title character was 14 when the movie was released. According to the plot, he should not have lived that long. He died in 2008 at the age of 30. His mother died eight years earlier.

That is correct, and that first quote is one of the all time great break up lines in any movie

ok, my turn: This movie featured Raf's ex as an extra. Just kidding. I'll come up with something

"Are you crazy? A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio. Gimme a pen. I'm signing. You're signing. We're all signing."

The extra hint didn't help, but I'm just going off Streisand movies (only one of which I recall ever seeing). It's either The Mirror Has Two Faces or Prince of Tides. I have an ex girlfriend who was an extra in one of the classroom scenes in Mirror. It wasn't sad. Prince of Tides. Final answer.

I mean, the director is obvious, but what movie? Too late for the one I was thinking (the cross-dressing one), which I'm not sure she even directed... Is a puzzlement (not a clue)

Well,

Only because I have another, tougher quote at the ready: Hook Next turn: "Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight"

Immediately

"My husband Steve drank himself to death in here. Don't you think you owe his boy something?" *** "Boney Maroney? To these sh*t stompers?" *** "Howdy! Here's one out of Lubbock, Texas." "Lubbock, Texas?" "Follow me."
