Led Zep 3. Aaaaah! You're stuck on this one? -
This 1980s film's main actress uses her legal name as her stage name. This movie put her on the map, but an early 1990s film re-introduced her to Hollywood's short attention span. The main actor's legal name is David Jones, but he changed it so he wouldn't be confused with Davy Jones of The Monkees. This movie was produced by George Lucas.

Wordpup passed through and said it was "MI Am the Walrus". -
Of course you can still subscribe! A) They're charging for everything because twi, traditionally, has always charged for everything. There was a tiny window when that wasn't the case, and that was gone by 1990. They're determined to MAKE A PROFIT off their data connection, same as with anything else. B) Of course you're still able to buy the CDs or DVDS. Under Rosa-lie if not sooner, everyone was REQUIRED to get the CDs/DVDs/tapes in some form whether or not they'd heard the connection live. Again, it's all organized to turn a profit. Someone could show up Sunday and listen to the audio hookup, then participate during the week when the local twig went over the content, and ALSO have a copy for personal use., As the substance thinned, it became mandatory to buy the same thing multiple times in different forms.

Ok, next movie. This movie eventually gained a cult following. When it was released, it was a box office disappointment- it had a budget of $25 million and the US theatrical run resulted in a box office of $12.9 million. The director was quite despondent about that- he had been hoping to direct serious and weighty films, and that never worked (neither did this), so he gave up directing and his career went into a rough patch. The first draft of the script was by Terry Jones, and a number of people did work on later drafts (like George Lucas) but received no writing credit for it. The film has a main actor and a main actress. Nobody seems to be able to remember any other actors from the movie unless they're really fans of the movie. Both the main actor and main actress were in a few roles before this. IMHO, this is the first movie that either of them is actually REMEMBERED FOR. Both have acted since, and both have had successful careers (although his was not primarily in acting, hers is.) He has passed away, she's still alive.

That's a little ditty about "JACK AND DIANE." (Courtesy of John Cougar Mellencamp, as he was known then.) -

(OS was on the roof, in direct line of fire, when the entire reactor blew, which is why it was blown intentionally. This was a much better exit than in the corresponding comic story- when OS found himself unable to match IM without tricks- and was out of tricks- he took off his helmet and repulsored his own head clean off to deny IM the chance to beat him directly.The movie plot was greatly superior to the story that was used for inspiration.) Ok, next movie, let's see.... Just Go With It Nicole Kidman Billy Bathgate

The "Second Wave" of returning to PFAL has started
WordWolf replied to Mike's topic in About The Way
I'm a little curious about him writing an entire (short) book about it, and an "Encyclopedia of Science" finding his grasp of science and of explanation of science sufficient to include in their book. Any chance we can get the publishing information on either book? This is 2021, we might be able to find copies of them with a little information. Or do we have to take it on faith that this book was written AND that it was quoted in an encyclopedia of science? -
Wait, I had a thought. Could be a clever thought, or it could just be another weird idea. The guy could be Ray Liotta's character in "GOODFELLAS." At the end, he went into the Federal Witness Protection Program, and couldn't find any good Italian food in Smalltown USA. At the beginning of "MY BLUE HEAVEN<" Steve Martin's character enters the Federal Witness Protection Program- and has trouble adjusting to life neither mobbed up nor in a city of any size (and lacking any good Italian food, he imagines.)

So, proceeding from "Iron Man 2", let's skip Vanko for once, and, since we can't use Rhodey, I can go with one of the other characters who was introduced in that movie.... Sam Rockwell Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Alan Rickman

"Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again." -
Here's what I have (which is not a movie, yet.) We have TWO movies that came out in the same year about the same guy, an actual guy. That almost certainly means it was about something fairly recent and in the news (unless it was the anniversary of a crime or something.) This was a story of a guy who did not-very-good things (no "Sully Sullenberger's story" or anything like that.) The guy in question was alive when this aired. The guy is Caucasian- because otherwise it makes no sense to think Travolta could pass for him, or that someone who passed for Travolta's Mom could pass for his Mom. This ALL (actions and filming) happened a few decades ago (and the guy was young in the film) or happened in the last decade or so (and the guy's not young but probably not depicted as retired.) On the off-chance the guy is not the lead, then the clues about Travolta don't apply to him at all. The only possible not-very-nice guys that come to mind for me would be either : Joey Buttafuoco (the famous Long Island Lolita case had something that WAS played up for comedy that was performed about it), or Frank Abegnale Junior (if Abegnale is the guy and the lead is the Treasury Dept agent who went after him. IF it is either (which is a big jump), then I'm leaning towards the latter- if there was a movie OTHER than "Catch Me If You Can" that appeared about Abegnale at the same time. On the other hand, it's probably neither Buttafuoco nor Abegnale. Were there multiple movies about the Enron scandal?

BZZT!!! Jeff Bridges did not appear in Iron Man 2, not even in archival footage. We're at Iron Man 2. Plenty of characters to choose from.

The "Second Wave" of returning to PFAL has started
WordWolf replied to Mike's topic in About The Way
"The reason I left was to APPLY the class to my life more, as opposed to just debating about it. I wanted to see people thrilled by the PFAL info again, and was very tired of trying to debate it all the time with people who did not want to apply it (again)." The reason you showed up was to advertise your paradigm. The reason you left was that A) you were getting nearly no nibbles on the bait; and B) you kept getting refuted, which made the bait look more like bait and less like substance. I say that, knowing you were asked to discuss substance lots of times, and you used every excuse to avoid it- changing the subject, accusing everyone else of being dishonest, etc. (Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated thread, I ended up reversing my position on something as the result of an honest discussion, so it's not like it was impossible to change my mind, if you had substance.) What was really tiresome was all the dancing around, and page after page after page of someone saying they didn't have time to devote to giving a substantial answer to ANYTHING even though they had time to fill pages. If you actually wanted people to "apply the class" (which wasn't your thrust then, that was to adopt your position for no reason in order to get results months later), you would have needed to address the question "WHY should I apply this class?" Without a respectable answer to that one, you were advertising and virtually nobody was buying. "Guess what? Plagiarized material, which is accurate with the Word, CAN BE just as effective as original material that is accurate with the Word." Guess what? We all knew that! Long before you ever posted your very first post here, Raf himself pointed out that plagiarism does not affect the SUBSTANCE of what is plagiarized. "Truth from the pen of a plagiarist is still truth." The problem with the plagiarism was never that "the material is useless if it is plagiarized" (a claim not adopted by anyone, but often propped up as a strawman for those seeking to accuse a certain plagiarizing rapist). The problem was that the plagiarism reveals a lack of character by the plagiarist. A serial plagiarist lacks a LOT of character. A serial plagiarist who copyrights his plagiarism shows he understand plagiarism full well, but is fine with it as long as he gets away with it.. Committing a crime is fine for him as long as he doesn't get caught? That's not a position for any supposed "man of God", and demonstrates both unsuitability to lead, and that there's more flaws we don't see. And we didn't see them- he was fine embezzling "church" funds, drugging women and raping them, and so on. But this is all glossed over with a veneer of "nobody's perfect" so long as the pfal fan gets his pfal. They don't say that's fine for ANYONE else- just that vpw gets a free pass, and they trust that his class was accurate despite coming from someone so utterly deficient in Christian morality and Christian character that he shouldn't be trusted to reliably tell you the name of Jesus' mom. "The problem is there are no original writers out there who could do the job, so it got done without academic approval. That's ok, because I don't approve of them." "The problem" is that your position begins by saying that pfal was not only of God, but was THE vehicle that God Almighty endorsed, authorized, and approved of (which is FAR from what any evidence shows, so is purely a leap-of-faith position), and that, SINCE pfal was THE God-endorsed class, that anything is worth overlooking because we got pfal in the end (another leap-of-faith position that is NOT in accord with the Bible.) BTW, for those wondering, vpw rarely made any comments about other sources. If you went by the written pfal stuff, you'd find ZERO references to other writers. In fact, you'd have to either stumble across some teaching tape where he said something to a limited crowd, or dig over 100 pages into "The Way-Living in Love". There, there's no admission either. There's a single comment about nothing he did being original. pfal apologists blow that up into a full confession that he plagiarized leonard's class, Stiles' book, Bullinger's books, and so on. It's absolutely nothing of the kind, and his intent to fool everyone is rather transparent- especially if you read the openings of the Orange Book and the White Book. In fact, an early version of the Orange Book makes mention of an anonymous man who helped vpw learn (it was Stiles), and all the editions afterwards edit the paragraph so the man drops out of the picture as if ne never existed. So, it's backwards. You don't approve of academic approval- and legal ways of using material- because they expose vpw as a liar, a thief, a plagiarist and a conman. The work OF the "original writers" , the actual plagiarized work- that gets deprecated because otherwise there's no excuse for the con job that was pfal. We've been through all of this, lots of times. However, since you do not WISH to see any of these points, you've never learned any of them, and to you it's as if we never wrote them. That's fine, I'm writing this for those who come along later and wonder what happened.
