BTW, the 'most recognized song" isn't "Moving Right Along", (which I like), but, obviously, "The Rainbow Connection."

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (#3) Gary Oldman the Dark Knight

Correct! "The Muppet Movie" was the correct answer, which you said, more or less.

That's him. The radar operators were from the Austin Powers movies, and Randy Grainger was a boy in the big brother/little brother program Oscar Madison once tried in "the Odd Couple." Usually you make me post a page of names until I drop the Blalok puppet from "Star Trek"(TOS.) Studied his roles since? ;)

That's it.

At the 1988 ROA (and, I presume, others before that, but NOT the 1989 ROA), there were plenty of people who made their own stuff and sold their own stuff from their tents and their cars, and so on. I bought Tom Burke's "A FIstful of Scriptures" that way- along with other music tapes from locals. IIRC, I also bought t-shirts that way as well. By the 1989 ROA, all those people had headed for the tall timber, and were no longer showing up at the ROA. That was back when lcm drew his line in the sand. For those of you who don't know what that was, lcm demanded that all the staff and corps swear an oath of loyalty to him personally. When someone asked, he confirmed that he expected to be followed BLINDLY. Anyone giving any other answer, even a Scriptural one, was fired or otherwise removed from twi. Since he removed about 80% of the leadership of twi all over the "way tree", it should surprise nobody that a lot of them stayed together and kept on doing things, just without having to report in to twi. (In NY state, the state/Limb coordinator and probably all the territory coordinators were canned at once, and stuck together. Most or all of the Branch coordinators went along with them. As I've said before, someone who'd been previously warming a chair at a local twig was suddenly moved up to territory coordinator, probably because he was the highest-ranking person who stuck with twi.)

"Ooh, I fell on my keys! " "About six months... but I'm on probation, so it's all good, baby!" "No, I mean, what do you do best?" "I can't do that here. That's why they put me away, baby! " "He who signs a lease must pay rent. That's the law." "You miserable wretch! How dare you take the last penny out of a poor man's pocket?" "I have to. I'm a landlord." "Oh, Lord, hear my plea; destroy him! He maketh a blight on the land!" "Don't listen to him; he's crazy. "

This movie could TECHNICALLY be described as an exploration of the path to stardom, with glimpses of the drawbacks on the way there. One character abruptly abandons the lead at a phone-call from their agent, another expresses the loneliness of the road and having to leave home behind, and the lead must continually face the prospect of selling out rather than following his dream of making millions of people happy. Supposedly, it was "sort-of approximately" how events happened, as if it was a dramatization of real historical events. This movie had an impressive number of cameo appearances by celebrities, in addition to those who appeared more than briefly. One cameo was by Paul Williams, who came up with several songs for the soundtrack, including the most-recognized song from the movie.

Terrence Stamp comes to mind.

You keep saying you've got something for me.

"IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (and I feel fine)", by R.E.M. IIRC, it's off "Document." Their biggest hits were off "Green" (after "Document"), and IMHO, their best song, "Can't Get There From Here", wasn't on either album. All of those were 80s albums, I think.

On the other hand, if scientists are correct about the meteor theory, then something struck the earth and devastated the ecosystem, raising a cloud of ash that blocked sunlight, which interrupted the food chain, and produced a global catastrophe, with plants dying, plant-eaters dying, then meat-eaters dying when they couldn't find plant-eaters to eat. Eventually, the atmosphere would clear, allowing light to enter the atmosphere once again. And so on. From the POV of the Earth, a description of all of this might sound awfully familiar. It might sound just like Genesis 1.

Oh. I had the wrong Ophelia. I thought it was the Hamlet one. "JAMIE LEE CURTIS." She played the Ophelia in "Trading Places" that was named for the Hamlet one.

Ok, let me catch up a little by bunching up my guesses a little. (It's been a rough week.) Mariel Hemingway? Melanie Griffith? Helena Bonham Carter? Kate Winslet?

Yes, but I'm sure he won't mind if someone else takes it.

When it comes to the delivery of the sermons, this was something different. vpw used the works of others to write the sermons, but was able to deliver the content with all the skill of the carnival barker. If you handed him a completed sermon, he could deliver it looking full of conviction. He studied Homiletics- or how to deliver a sermon. HOWEVER, his skill at ONLY delivering the work of others says a lot about vpw, especially since he rarely gave due credit.

Was vpw a gifted Bible researcher? vpw showed considerable experience taking the work of others and building teachings and classes on them. vpw had a private library composed of the works of other Christians- works he would plagiarize when he taught. Virtually all of pfal- all 3 levels- were taken from the works of others- Bullinger, Stiles, Kenyon, etc. vpw often relied on the meaning of a word as it appeared in the King James Version, even if that meaning wasn't in the critical texts that were used. When someone made a mistake, vpw often copied the mistake, as if he lacked the understanding that they HAD mistakes. When it came to actual research, vpw assigned someone else to do it- Walter, the research dept, etc. His skill at actually researching the Bible was rather shallow, even compared to the average Advanced Class grad. "His" books were the work of the research department, to which he attached his name. Except for the Studies in Abundant Living, which were teachings that others edited and made into proper books. In short, vpw was not a noteworthy Bible researcher, even in twi.

Was vpw an exceptionally pious man of God? The current Pope, Pope Francis, has often been said to be so, all based on his actions and his living. (He used to go preach to the poor and homeless when he was a priest and bishop, for example, and he stands in lines like everyone else and does not expect special treatment.) So, how has vpw measured up? When he was young, he was so contrary to actions of piety that the idea that he would become a preacher was met with derision. It was scoffed at by his local community- who were well aware he'd earned a reputation as a bully and a showoff. It was scoffed at by his own father- who said he never put in work on the farm, so he would be worse at being a pastor. The only positive claim came from his brother Harry, who said vpw would run off from his chores for hours and vanish into the woods. Supposedly- for Harry never saw him- vpw was preaching to the trees all that time, just like Billy Graham, even though nobody EVER said they saw vpw actually DO it. Further, that was back when vpw was supposedly trying to decide whether to go into business, or music or the church. As a pastor, he had a reputation for being somewhat severe on his congregation- by his own admission. Moreover, his weekly sermons began more than a year before he actually believed the Bible was the Word of God, despite using it in his sermons. He claimed that doing weekly sermons made it NECESSARY for him to go to the Bible every week. I'm curious what it says of a pastor who has to be "made" to read the Bible weekly. Does he not read it daily for enrichment? For enjoyment? As an act of devotion? For that matter, actual acts of devotion are conspicuously missing from vpw's accounts. He supposedly mouthed off at the church elders once (and the location of the meeting kept changing), but actual acts of devotion were missing. None of that even addressed vpw raping, drugging and/or molesting the women of his flock. Finally, vpw had a long-term addiction to tobacco and to alchohol. He was seen chain-smoking, and people knew what brand he smoked. He was seen drinking at all hours, and people knew what alcoholic beverage he drank. Further, he insisted mints be at the podium, so he could bite one in half in his mouth regularly- covering the smell of tobacco or of booze. (Kool shorties and Drambuie, in case there was anyone who didn't know.) Long-term abuse of alcohol and tobacco can injure the eye and the liver, and increase the risk of cancer- which bright lights do not. vpw died of cancer of the liver and of the eye. He claimed that the bright studio lights he used briefly, decades earlier, in filming pfal was the cause of the eye cancer- but stage lights do NOT cause cancer. Wouldn't there be a long list of stage actors who've spent a year or years looking into studio lights, then all getting eye cancer and dying? OBVIOUSLY, the pfal studio lights claim was a great big lie- one that covered his own foolishness and pointed to something "virtuous" as the cause (filming pfal.) vpw insisted he gave his eye for preaching, and tried to use that as a spur for others to obey him or outdo him. As a pious man of God, vpw fell far short of the minimum expected of a minister.
