  1. Furthermore, as Bullinger knew and vpw didn't. the verses were about THE ORIGIN OF SCRIPTURE. It wasn't from some person's volition, but rather holy men were moved of God and that's how we got it. That was the point of the verses, and Bullinger made the same point there. vpw, on the other hand, wanted to make it about having an official "interpretation" (his), so he claimed it was about how NOT to approach the Scriptures- NOT like a wild pack of dogs on a hunt.
  2. The 80s version was filmed at Elstree Studios. Corman thought so little about the original that he never bothered to copyright it- so it's always been in the public domain. Brian Henson was one of several puppeteers to play "Audrey II."
  3. For the current one, I'd got with "High Anxiety", but Cloris Leechman is way taller than that.
  4. He's not the messiah- he's a very naughty boy!
  5. -There's a title that's shared by 2 movies-which is fair since they're 2 different versions of the same story. -None of the endings of the story were incredibly happy. However, in the original, one of the main characters survives, and in the 2nd, 2 of them do (but their future looks endangered.) The 2nd one had an ending that was trashed and never made it past the test audiences- everybody died, and the Earth was invaded, quite successfully (complete with the theater audience among the casualties, with a 4th wall break.) -Many people forget (or don't know) there was an original version, which was a black-and-white. In that one (made on a shoestring budget of about $30,000 US), they used a clip of a full moon as a cutaway to bridge 2 scenes that didn't link properly. 20 years later, they were shocked to read an 8-page magazine article about the significance of the moon in that movie. -The 80s version had a budget of $25 million US, but was filmed in England. -The original version was filmed over 2 days on an existing set. It is currently in the public domain. -The original version was directed by Roger Corman, the other version by Frank Oz. - In the 80s version, Brian Henson and Heather Henson are in the movie, but only Heather actually appears on camera. (They're Jim Henson's kids.) Brian is one of several people to play one of the roles of the film.
  6. "Naysayers tell me 'You should be embarrassed.' 'You should not be fighting.' 'You look like Marvin Hamlisch.' You know what I say to the naysayers? I say 'Nay! I am not embarrassed. I will fight. And who the hell is Marvin Hamlisch?'" "He wrote the music for The Sting." "That's a good movie." "Who are these clowns?" "KISS? You don't know who KISS is?" "No, never heard of them. They look like idiots to me." "No, no, no, dude, these are four of the smartest guys who ever lived. They're these Jewish guys who grew up in New York, and they put on guitars and makeup to get girls, and all their songs are about f*ing." "I'm listening." "Seriously, this song is called "Love Gun" and it's about Paul Stanley's d* and how this girl's gonna get some of his d*." "Cool. I didn't know Jews could sing like that." "No, no, they couldn't at the time. That's why they had to dress like clowns." "This got them girls?" "Man, why do you bow for that guy?" "Because he's the king, and he rules the entire realm." "Oh, he rules the entire realm? Oh, my bad. Is that when he is or isn't whacking it to The Sims?" "Eight hours down, 142 to go." "This sucks @$$." "Dude, I just spent the afternoon in Middle-earth with glee-glop and the floopty-doos, all right? Give me a f*ing break." "Hey! Nice cow outfit, homo! Where can I pick one of those up, the gay zoo?" "Oh no, it's not a cow, it's a minotaur. It's a creature of myth. And he got this one out of your mom's closet. " "She let me keep it after I f*ed her." "Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr. Bullsh* and Dr. I'm-full-of-sh*?" "In what way are we full of dang?" "Which one of us has the Ph.D?" "I will sign your sheets but you need to know I am not here to service your hours. I'm here to service these young boys." " Lets get ready to dance... with swords!" "I know why you're here, so don't BS a BSer, Ok? Your "Presence" here, court ordered." "Why did you put 'presence' in quotes? Are you implying that we aren't here?"
  7. The most obvious question is if you're the one with Administrative rights on the computer, and if the user account you're using has admin rights on the computer. If not, someone would have to log into the Admin account (or AN admin account) and change the permissions for Chrome for the user(s). Are you running the most recent version of Chrome? have you restarted the computer since this happened? Either might be the resolution of some glitch you encounter.
  8. Hamlet Ian Holm Lord of the Rings- Fellowship of the Ring
  9. Yeah, that's not this movie, but you knew that.
  10. BZZT! Samuel L. Jackson was NOT in "Trading Places." (For that matter, Neither was James Earl Jones.) We need a movie Sam Jackson was in.

  13. In this BBC celebration of Shakespeare, they had one scene where an actor in black was delivering Hamlet's soliloquoy. Someone in black interfered, and said he was delivering the line wrong. Then someone in black interfered, and said HE was delivering the line wrong.....Rinse and repeat. The first guy was black, and dressed all in black. The second was a redhead in black, carrying a skull. "That's the wrong scene." "What do you mean? Hamlet ALWAYS has a skull..." One of the guys who interrupted was Benedict Cumberbatch. The guy with the skull was thrilled to meet a celebrity. "It's Eddie Redmayne! I loved you as the Dane- ish girl." And so on. So I remember ONE movie Eddie Redmayne was in. The Danish Girl Amber Heard Justice League (either version) (I think the video, somewhere, of the scene, was called "A Line of Hamlets". )

  16. Ok. I'm not sure if we've ever done this one before. "Naysayers tell me 'You should be embarrassed.' 'You should not be fighting.' 'You look like Marvin Hamlisch.' You know what I say to the naysayers? I say 'Nay! I am not embarrassed. I will fight. And who the hell is Marvin Hamlisch?'" "He wrote the music for The Sting." "That's a good movie."
  17. "FLASH GORDON." Light movie, with a heavy cast, and a soundtrack by QUEEN.
  18. I'm not sure of the third quote, but I'd get the first 2 quotes anytime. Mrs Wolf's response, upon seeing this movie, was not what I'd expected. "Is that Ornella Muthy? What's she doing there?"
  19. Ok, I'll end this round. This was Nena's "99 Red Balloons." She was a German singer who wrote "99 Luftballons" in German. It was such a hit that she wrote an English version of the song. It was a hit, but not as big as the original song. (Technically, the English version didn't "chart", but it got a LOT of airplay.) This was from 1983, so I didn't break my rule for myself of not picking anything after 1985. For now, FREE POST.
  20. *lightbulb* "WONDER WOMAN 1980-something"
  21. So, it is T-Bone's turn to post a still-shot from a movie, and for us to guess the movie.
  22. "You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got. Set them free at the break of dawn 'Til one by one, they were gone. Back at base, bugs in the software Flash the message, "Something's out there!" "Panic bells, it's Red Alert. There's something here from somewhere else. The war machine springs to life, opens up one eager eye, Focusing it on the sky" "99 Decision Street. Ninety-nine ministers meet to worry, worry, super-scurry. call the troops out in a hurry! This is what we've waited for. This is it, boys, this is war! The president is on the line" "99 knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters. Every one's a super-hero, every one's a Captain Kirk. "With orders to identify, to clarify and classify. Scramble in the summer sky" "It's all over and I'm standin' pretty In this dust that was a city." This is a clue. It would definitely tell me a lot, but I'm not sure it will jog your memory. It depends on if you've heard this song before.... "Neunundneunzig Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All Darum schickte ein General 'Ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär Dabei waren dort am Horizont Nur neunundneunzig Luftballons Neunundneunzig Düsenflieger Jeder war ein großer Krieger Hielten sich für Captain Kirk Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht Dabei schoss man am Horizont Auf neunundneunzig Luftballons."
