You're thinking " Problem Child", I think. No, in this movie, some accident or something gives Chevy Chase telekinetic powers (he can move stuff with his mind.)

Ok, storytelling time. Some people thought of "Aqualung" as a concept album, which it wasn't, so their next album WAS one. "Thick As A Brick." The version of the title song everybody knows is the radio cut, which is the usual length of a song. The album cut was one side of the album, which just gets rolling as the radio cut ends. One of the things in the album is the cover, with a newspaper showing an article on a local child, Gerald Bostock. Decades later, Ian Anderson recorded "Thick As A Brick 2". a concept album whose cover asked "Whatever happened to Gerald Bostock?" In the album, we don't find out definitively what happened to him. Several possibilities are offered, and different songs explore different paths his life may have taken, after tragedies, or just living a normal life. My one objection is that Gerald never seems to have a happy life, if the songs are to be believed. All his possibilities look unhappy, either in a small way or in a large way. I don't like the implication that people living normal lives can't be happy because I don't believe it... to say nothing of how he never catches a break. Anyway, I was discussing possible parallel lives, alternate turning of the wheel, and then logged in to be reminded of that. Funny how that happens, sometimes.

Your wise men don't know how it feels to be THICK AS A BRICK. -Jethro Tull (or Ian Anderson post-Tull.)

Is this "My Super Ex-Girlfriend?"

"They slaughtered 23 people and jumped a shuttle. An aerial patrol spotted the ship off the coast. No crew, no sight of them. Three nights ago, they tried to break into Tyrell Corporation. Two of them got fried running through an electrical field. We lost the others. On the possibility they might try to infiltrate as employees, I had Holden go over and run Voight-Kampff tests on the new workers. Looks like he got himself one. That's Leon. Ammunitions loader on intergalactic runs. He can lift 400-pound atomic loads all day and night. The only way you can hurt him is to kill him." "I don't get it. What do they risk coming back to Earth for? That's unusual. Why...? What do they want out of the Tyrell Corporation? "Well, you tell me, pal. That's what you're here for." "Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me - cold fish." "We found the shuttle drifting off the coast two weeks ago, so we know they're around. " "Embarrassing." "No sir. Not embarrassing, because no one's ever going to find out they're down here. 'Cause you're gonna spot 'em and you're gonna air 'em out! " "I don't work here anymore. Give it to Holden. He's good. " "I did. He can breathe okay, as long as nobody unplugs him. " "Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil. Involuntary dilation of the iris... " " We call it Voight-Kampff for short. " "May I ask you a personal question?" "Sure." "Have you ever retired a human by mistake? "No." "But in your position, that is a risk." "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die. " " I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life; my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die. "

Are we talking the radio cut version, or the album-side version? It's interesting you posted this right now. I'll explain after the round.

A new look with updated software, apparently. It needs a reasonably-updated browser to log out with - unless you clear your cookies, apparently, which seems to force a log out from being signed in.

For a moment, I thought you were going to refuse to give an artist's name, thus posting an incomplete answer. This IS "Side By Side." Dean Martin IS one of the artists.

"Don't know what's coming tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road sharin' our load" "Through all kinds of weather. What if the sky should fall? Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all. When they've all had their quarrels and parted We'll be the same as we started."

No, but the ads they started airing looked interesting. I was thinking about that before I logged in here. For that matter, I don't know if "Umbrella Academy" is any good.

Neither "Mein Kampff" nor "Alien Nation."

I'll be amazed if George or Raf knew this one. (You can pm me if you want to discuss something outside the thread.)

*gets tired of this and looks it up* I don't know this actor by name. I don't know this actor by face. I could not tell you one movie he was in other than what was just said. I generally don't discuss this movie nor watch this movie because I was up for one of the principal roles, but that's why I know the titular role went to Jon Voight.

You're going with ...the right answer. Seeing Stallone as a mugger before his big break as "Rocky" is now amusing. It's hard to forget Woody Allen's Castro impression in this movie, however. It's all over the promos and hard to forget once you've seen the actual movie.

Not.

Next song. "Through all kinds of weather. What if the sky should fall? Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all."

Those are the actors. That is not the movie. This movie is older than "Manhattan".

Any chance this was "the Fast and the Furious"?

Ok, next one. Once you name the actors, you might get it from this shot. (I would.) If nobody gets it, I'll use a much easier shot.
