  1. One little factlet you left out..... The people who formed "Revival and Restoration" sent a letter to twi's board, and claimed they were interested in healing up and fixing twi from within. Before they sent the letter, they had already registered the "Revival and Restoration" website. In short, the more cautious observer would wonder how sincere they were about actually trying to fix twi, when they'd already started setting up the new group BEFORE approaching the board. I mean, I would have already made plans to leave, but I would NOT have been sincerely trying to fix twi since it was obviously broken fundamentally. So, I would not have come across as sounding like I was trying to fix them. Reminds me of an old joke. (The names can vary, but the joke is the same.) Vladimir Putin woke up one morning after a late party. He found his residence completely devoid of people. He looked out the window, and didn't see people standing, walking, or driving. His telephone rang. It was an advisor of his. "Don't you remember? You got drunk and said that anyone who didn't like living in Russia should just get out. So, they did." "Are you saying that it's only you and me in the entire country?" "No, just you-I'm calling from Poland."

  3. Ok my subconscious finally helped me out. Chris Pine Wonder Woman Robin Wright
  4. I haven't seen any of these movies, but I've heard of all 3. I read a spoof of "Barry Lyndon" in Mad Magazine once. But "A Bridge Too Far" was mentioned in "PCU." The character "Pigman" used it as his closing argument for his thesis about 2 actors- at any moment, there was a movie featuring one of them airing. Both actors appeared in this movie. So, Is it "MICHAEL CAINE"? (If not, I'm going with the other actor in his thesis.)
  5. It may have been. However, there's no mention of that in its wikipedia page nor its imdb page. Its totals are on this page but there's no COMPARISONS. https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Goodbye-Columbus#tab=summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_1969_box_office_number-one_films_in_the_United_States It was number one for 3 weeks, but so were a few other movies that year, and "Funny Girl" was #1 for 6 weeks. The problem is that they didn't list its take on the same page. https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Funny-Girl-(1968)#tab=summary "Goodbye Columbus'" total take was $22, 939, 805. "Funny Girl" (1968)'s total take was $58, 707, 416. (There was a 2018 "Funny Girl" that didn't do well.) So, "Funny Girl" more than doubled their box office. https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Love-Bug-The#tab=box-office Checking some more, "The Love Bug" (also led 6 weeks) had a take of $50,582,200, almost all of which was domestic ("Goodby Columbus" and "Funny Girl" seemed to have no international release), so you can't say Herbie out-performed worldwide but lost on the domestic box office. https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Goodbye-Columbus#tab=box-office "Easy Rider" (3 weeks) came in with $41,728,598. That's ALMOST double, but not quite, and all of that was domestic as well. Since "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was released at the end of December, I can't get 1969 stats isolated for it. However, the wikipedia page for 1969's movies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_1969_box_office_number-one_films_in_the_United_States says the last 2 weeks of December it pulled in $1, 223,000 and $1,373,100, and for the weeks that "Goodbye Columbus" was #1, its numbers were $935,500, $681, 200 and $522,100, which suggests that their 1969 box office take was around equal, with 1970 bringing in more money for the James Bond flick (which is not part of computing 1969 take.)

  7. She was famous for that, and for being one of Mudd's Women in the ST:TOS "Mudd's Women", and for the reason she's on this list in the first place.
  8. Jeff Goldblum Independence Day Will Smith
  9. Brad Pitt No, we just passed him. I can go with the actress, or...oh, yeah, I named the vampire, but I can also name the guy who interviewed him.... Christian Slater Heathers Winona Ryder

  11. This IS "Convoy." I think it was a one-hit wonder, also. Some people said he had some other hits, but I've never heard of them, so to me, that's a one-hit wonder (at least de-facto from my perspective.) (Then again, he did C & W, not R & R.) The artist was "C.W. McCall." William Dale Fries Jr was his real name, "McCall" was his show-biz name.

  13. "Well, we shot the line and we went for broke with a thousand screamin' trucks, and eleven long-haired Friends of Jesus in a chartreuse micro-bus. " Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Listen, you wanna put that micro-bus right behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's hauling dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.""
  14. Meanwhile, this was Eric Burdon (of The Animals) and War. I think the title was "Spill the Wine." "Spill the Wine and Dig that Pearl." I used to think that was "Do I take that girl."
  15. That might have been Judge Reinhold's character in "Beverly Hills Cop." Is it JUDGE REINHOLD?
  16. *reads the book over* You probably never heard this stuff because it's undocumented and looks like guff. No sources cited for his claims, and the "conclusion" is that the KJV is the best modern Bible. He's also skipped over WHY there's been differences between Bibles from the last 450 years and now. He insists it can only be because they were corrupted, but they have changed as 1st century fragments have been recovered. I also noted he didn't know why I John 5's verse is in the KJV but not the others. Trinitarians have explained why decades ago. (It was 1 of 2 books but I forget which at the moment.) And he insists that the KJV has to be correct because the changes all point away from the Trinity- and he insists the Trinity MUST be true- so the only reason anyone can remove something that supports the Trinity is NOT because it was error, but because the person wants to INTRODUCE error. Thousands of Bible scholars out there. They've dedicated their lives to the Bible. They've studied history, languages, archeology, and traveled around the word= and according to him, it's ALL to introduce error and they're not REALLY dedicated or sincere. This is known as "poisoning the well" and twi survivors should be familiar with it. "Everybody outside our group is walking in error- only WE know The Truth." In short, a nut wrote a PDF and I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. ============================================================ The video you hotlinked is not accessible from every country. What was the title?
  17. Is that the "Gunther" from "Friends?" That would be that three-part name guy, something-something Tyler.
  18. War of the Worlds Tom Cruise Interview With the Vampire
  19. It WAS heart's "MAGIC MAN." The previous tune was also called "MAGIC MAN." It was by Robert Winters and Fall.
  20. Ok changing songs. I'm surprised this song isn't better-known. I know it got plenty of airplay. Moving on. ============================ " "Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone. "Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home!" "
  21. The Bone Collector Angelina Jolie Mr and Mrs Smith
  22. That means the actor in question is JACK KLUGMAN. I hope that tells George something. I forget he was ever IN movies. I forget KLUGMAN was in movies. AFAIK, George was never IN movies.
  23. Taimok was an 80s actor and martial artist. He played Leroy, the titular character in "The Last Dragon."
