Next song. " keep your dirty feelings Deep inside. And if you're Takin' your girlfriend Out tonight You better park the car Well out of sight 'Cause if they catch you in the back seat Trying to pick her locks They're gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box."

Less likely with just a handful of players, but 3 days have passed. Dan Ackroyd Trading Places Eddie Murphy

So it's GEORGE's turn.

I'm not sure. I posted 2 links to 2 different sets of instructions. I'd try those.

Knowing this bunch, was this "AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON"??

Thanks. This may be a moment to give it another shot.

That IS Edward James Olmos. This IS "Stand and Deliver." That IS a classroom. This was the story (Hollywood-style) of real life math teacher Jaime Escalante, who taught in a barrio school in LA and got his math class to pass the AP Math exam for college. I have to hand it to Escalante AND his students, that exam is incredibly hard. In this scene, Escalante had been making a point about enough education to flip burgers, thus the burger-flipping, complete with burgers, spatula, and Mc Donalds HAT. He still had it on while talking to a 'too cool for school" type who didn't bring a pencil to class. Escalante claimed the guy thought he could do the math just with his hands, then showed a trick for remembering the 9 times table using 10 fingers, since the totals of the digits (under 100) equal 9- 09, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90 (pattern ends here since the next number is 99.) So, he moved a finger over each time, making 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6.... Unfortunately, Imdb does NOT have the image I really wanted, the "put the cuffs on me" moment. Lou Diamond Phillips played one of the students. When the class PASSED the exam, the Board assumed they were all cheating since they responded lockstep the same way. (They were taught lockstep by the same teacher at the same time in the same style.) When an investigator showed up to try to get a confession from the students, he blew off their claims of passing honestly. Eventually, LDP's character confessed. He said he'd gotten the answers for them ahead of time from a school janitor. *investigators write this down* "Where can I find this janitor?" "I strangled him. His body's decomposing in my lockerr." *holds out his wrists for handcuffs as the class laughs*

This is definitely Led Zeppelin. Is the title "Black Dog" ?
-
That voice you're hearing is Robert Plant.

Or go to imdb, look up the movie you want, and see if they have an image that you're looking for.

You're way off. This one took place in the US, and you have the wrong ethnicity. Look closely at the actor in-frame, you've heard of him. Look closely at the foreground- where, generally, is this taking place? BTW, if you knew the movie, you might remember exactly when this was, due both to the hat he's wearing and what, exactly, he's doing with his fingers.

Here's the next one.

Splintering and Subjugating.......as night follows day
WordWolf replied to skyrider's topic in Out of the Way: The Offshoots
1) Lots of people throughout history can say the same. The SS wore belt buckles that said "God is with us". Religious wars usually have both sides say it at the same time. 2) For that matter, there's probably some sincere, nice stuff in among the "I'm in this for me" stuff- but it's like leaven- a little corruption is all you need to poison a religious organization. 3) There were discussions post-lawsuits about how twi suddenly made a bunch of sweeping changes that brought them into conformity with legal requirements, like work hours a week and so on. I don't remember a specific thread dedicated to it, so I'll have to hunt for them when I can. -
Oops. That can happen when posting close to dawn.

Hey, George, since I posted the answer on the wrong thread, was it invalidated, making Raf's the first correct answer?

"INDIANA JONES and the LAST CRUSADE."

Mark Hamon? (In Spanish, "jamon" with a sound like "hamon" means "HAM" in English. In Spanish, the letter 'j' has a sound like a hard h.) Mark the Ham? As for the current round, no need to jump to the obvious answer. "Arnold Strong" was the original billing for Ah-nuld when he played this role. The studio didn't think "Schwarzenegger" would work for US audiences. They dubbed his voice, too. Then again, I heard Jean-Claude Van Damme's voice as the Canadian Frank Dux in " Bloodsport", and perhaps the studio was on to something with dubbing AS. This role is "HERCULES." AS was introduced to US audiences, IIRC, in this role. Kevin Sorbo played him in "Hercules- the Legendary Journeys. I'm sure Lou Ferrigno played him in some version, but I don't know which. I don't know about the other actors. Disney had a movie and animated series, so that's room for 1 or 2, and Trans-Lux (who brought you "Speed Racer" had a Hercules cartoon I used to watch.

He chose poorly.

Louis Black is a Caucasian stand-up comedian. He sounds exasperated and occasionally yells. On " Big Bang Theory", he played the entomologist Professor "Creepy" Crawley, the discoverer of the Crawley Dung Beetle. He settled Sheldon and Howard's cricket bet while packing. The university had eliminated his job and he was going to move to Bakersfield. In the cartoon "Inside Out", he did the voice for Anger. He was in a few other movies here and there, but I still remember him from his stand-up days.

I make no claim to being any real "scholar,", but I've learned some things, some of them by study. I also appreciate good manners. What I know on this subject, I don't mind passing along.

Splintering and Subjugating.......as night follows day

1) I think glossing over their complicity to the Martindale purges and rfr's draconian policies that are only reined in when a lawyer insists they must be is the wrong approach. (If your "Christian" group exploits its workers and only stops when lawyers and law enforcement say they have to stop- as with twi- then your group is not as "Christian" as it claims to be.) They were perfectly comfortable with that for DECADES. That's not some piddling little detail. It says a lot about what they value more. 2) Nobody said it was "ALL about money." Some is about money- thus the timing when retirement is looming. Some is about POWER- now they can make the decisions. Some of it is about AUTHORITY- now other people hang on what THEY say. Some of it is about prestige and privilege- they have titles with cachet now, and possibly some of the chief seats. But dismissing all of that because itá not "ALL about money" is a convenient way to blow off a position you don't like. (Make up a caricature of that position, knock it down, then pretend that was the actual position, and you can dismiss the original position casually.) I don't think you MEANT to do that, but it looks like you were definitely in that neighborhood. 3) Last I heard, there was a "donate" button on R&R's Facebook page, which you can't see unless logged in. So, casual inspection may not make it obvious. BTW, just because they ALSO have normal jobs doesn't mean much. Having a standard source of income, among other things, makes it easier to hide "slush fund" expenditures. It also keeps the lights on at home. -
I meant to use both terms (still/frame) interchangeably. So, I meant it was one that wasn't captured the specified way, but since it was one regardless, who cares how I got it? I still posted it. In other news, yes, that's exactly that moment. Why did I go with that one? It was a split-second decision in George McFly's life, but, as we saw later, it COMPLETELY changed the direction he took. (For that matter, it completely changed the direction Biff Tannen's life took.) (BTW, the "insert other media" command on a post gave me an option to insert either of 2 images I've added to posts sometime in the last 2 decades. So I think that images might be somewhere even if we don't know links to their galleries.)

This is a still from a movie, just not one captured the aforementioned way.
