Maybe I wasn't clear.

We don't pay respect to alchemy in honor of Isaac Newton's contributions to understanding the laws of motion and dynamics. 

We don't pay respect to anti-Semitism because Henry Ford revolutionized automobile manufacture.

Why should we opt for B.C. over B.C.E. just because religious people used scientific methods to calculate an accurate calendar? One has absolutely nothing to do with the other! 

Now, if he were to say "I don't feel any more need to change B.C. to B.C.E. than Christians feel to change the names of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday -- all named for Norse gods," THAT would make sense. But clinging to B.C. because religious people figured out we need a leap year in 2000 is rather arbitrary.

Does that make more sense?

They all sounded naggingly famililiar. I got it at pre-atomic submarines.

Then you had to go and give it away.

BATMAN 

The Princess Bride,  Though you are going to have to explain the Max and Valerie reference. I believe the director's father's name was Carl

Well THAT clue couldn't be bigger

I figured you had it with the Bruce Lee reference, but I wasn't sure.

And I figured someone would connect "pity" and "fool."

"Did Albert ever discuss his political convictions with you?"

"Albert don't have no political convictions. He's an American!"

"I don't work on Jan. 8.

Because it's Elvis' birthday."

Jekyll and Hyde?

Prejudice and Pride?

Boys on the Side?

I've never seen "Voyage of the Damned."  Its title seemed aligned with at least a couple of the quotes.

I don't "hear" any particular voice with the lines you accentuated.  Almost sounds like a mom with her ne'er-do-well son.

George

Pity

"But that says Bruce Leg."

***

“Bruce Lee ain't dead you know. They got him krytonized down in Chatsworth, he's jammed in a silo and he's frozen hard as a carp. And they're gonna melt him down as soon as the economy gets better.”

Ok, take a look at the last quote. Close your eyes. Hear it.

Whose voice do you hear?

If you get that right, 95% chance you get the movie.

This movie was at least as good as Traxx. Probably a little better.

LOTS of well known actors, almost if not all B-list.

"Why don't you get off the street and get a decent job?"
"Cause I need the bread!"
"Then get a job at the bakery.”

You and I remember voyage of the d*** very differently.

Either of us could be mistaken, but I'm going to stick with I never saw it.

Presumed innocent, we saw together. Still recall your amusement at Mr. Delay-Guardia

Ok seriously and with as much respect as I can muster with the mod hat on:

What the HELL are you people babbling about?

Take a break. All of you. 24 hours. If you can't, it will be done for you.

Take a damn break.

This sounds like Game of Thrones.

Funny thing is, obviously a courtroom drama, but definitely not one I've seen.

Clearly it's about a first-degree murder, or we would not be talking about the death penalty.

My first guess is a TV show, but I don't know if anyone made a movie with the same name.

So guessing movies about murder trials I have not seen:

Primal Fear

?

Purpose of the Ages: A Love Story

Vince Finnegan's foundational class.

Ooh. "Crowd" is in quotes! A clue! Dum-dum-dum-dummmmm

Somehow I'm feeling that 1 1/2 actors  Is the biggest hint

I stannd corrected. 

I stannd corrected. 

I've always readily admitted that the Actual Errors list is of no consequence to anyone who wants to use PFAL for its stated purpose. The "thoroughly/throughly" error is actually BETTER as an error than it would have been had he gotten it right [although I suppose he could have retained the value of "read carefully" without the invented distinction between the two words].

"All with/without distinction" is obviously an example of trying to make a concept more clear, and it kind of worked. So what.

But impose an impossible standard, one VPW knew full well could not be met by any work of man [including the Bible, by his own admission he stopped believing it was holy], and suddenly every tiny error becomes monumental... not because of the error, but because of the significance placed on the document's perfection.

Sometimes I really miss giving a #### about all this.

By the way, I appreciated the credit for the observations I contributed to previous discussions on the Bastard Jesus drama.

It was Mom.

Anna Farris' character never reconciled with her daughter. Allison Janey never reconciled with her mother.

Both Janey and Farris received oral, on screen. Janey's partner died in the act.

One scene had Janey imagining being president, putting her on the set of her previous series The West Wing. Her scene called out the older shows habit of increasing the appearance of urgency by having a conversation take place while bustling down a hallway.

The show became less and less about Farris' household and more and more about their Alcoholics Anonymous group.

Take it away, George

I can see Dot reciting the lines and Cher singing them, but nothing on the title
