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.

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.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I'M GLAD I GOT IN, AND I'M GLAD I GOT OUT. That having been said, the R&R people aren't the worst of the splinters, but they're hardly trustworthy, either. This is the group of people who planned to jump ship rather deliberately. Months before the meeting where they claimed it was about PRIMARILY trying to get twi to change, they registered "revivalandrestoration.com" as a URL. They also scouted around the top brass that weren't directly in charge, and tested the waters, asking who was interested in leaving and making a new organization. Months after THAT came the meeting where they claimed to want to reform twi and that's it. Monhs after THAT came the notice that rfr and the others weren't going to budge, so now we had to consider our options. At least a month after THAT was the announcement that they were going to start up R&R. So, don't think you were dealt with entirely honestly. Their pfficial story was that they did their best to get twi to change. Only after that failed did they consider splitting off and starting a new group. The opposite was true- they set things up to start a new group, then went to twi and failed to get change to happen. These are the same leaders who were fine with things for decades. As they approached retirement, they reconsidered their options, and now they're running their own show. Things were fine until it was convenient for them to leave, then SUDDENLY things needed to be addressed.

I should get to this within the next 12 hours or so. (I hope.) If anyone's in a hurry, they can take it.

Even when I was IN twi, I didn't think they knew EVERYTHING, even though I thought they knew better than the rest. I wasn't above learning spot-skills from all sorts of Christians, and I've considered myself an eclectic Christian all along, free to borrow from this and that and not forced to conform to a single style or brand. Granted, I was only in for a few years, and it was in NYC, where there were a lot of mavericks as far as twi went. I do think that, had I stayed for another 5-10 years, the chain would have chafed and I might have left on my own and not just when craig was acting visibly and obviously crazy.

Cesar Romero Batman- the Movie Burgess Meredith (I don't know about anyone else, but I know him from at least 2 other roles, so I know he's link-able.)

Ultimately, they're not going to care what I think. (The comics people who brought back Barry Allen after decades of Wally didn't care, and neither do these people.) I think whoever replaces her, statistically speaking, has a good chance of being a better actress, statistically speaking. She has a reasonably good chance of looking more like Kate Kane/Batwoman are SUPPOSED to look. (Like the guy who's playing John Constantine was a much better choice than Keanu.) The problem here is that NOW they've established that Kate Kane looks nothing like the original comic book character (except in a general way- female, brunette.) So, whether they cast for "she looks more like the comics character" or "she looks like the actress she replaced", there's going to be disappointed people. I'm keeping my expectations low- this way, I can only be PLEASANTLY surprised! :)

Why did you pick this scene? Not why you picked that shot.... You wanted something with Grand Central Terminal behind it but completely out-of-shot?

Human correctly identifies this as "BORN IN THE USA.": So, it's Human's turn.

Human correctly identified this as "BORN TO RUN."

"ROSALITA'". Clarence Clemons has a great saxophone solo towards the end.

This was "SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT."

George got verbal acknowledgement of guessing the artist. You correctly named TWO of the songs. So, it is your turn.

Um...." Quarantine???"

I'm following this thread now. To prevent a "dogpiling" situation, I'll let Rocky ask all the obvious questions so Waxit has one person to answer, instead of having to chase questions all over the thread from different people. In the interest of being nice, I'm posting mainly to post a request. Waxit? Please be careful when hitting " reply" on a post. I much prefer if you don't reply INSIDE THE BOX where their post is quoted. If you do, there's 2 problems for the rest of us. 1) We can't see a difference between what HE posted and what YOU posted. This means we can't tell who posted what, nor who to reply to. That makes discussion more difficult, and it makes it harder to follow your points (since we can't distinguish them from HIS points.) 2) When everything you post ends up in that box, none of us can use the same function to reply to you! The reply function would quote an empty post- since the software thinks everything inside a quotebox is part of the quote and none of it is added. Please make good-faith attempts to make it clear who is posting what. There's several things you can do to make that happen. A) Under the quotebox, post your reply. You might add numbers to the quote, and number your replies so we can see what addressed what. B) Use the quotebox, but then cut-and-paste their reply below the box, and reply to each point. Use quotation marks so we can see it's a quote, and mark what was said by you and what was said by him. That's what I think of first, others may think other things work better. Please, please do something to address this. Thank you.

Um, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?"

Spitballing here....."Johnny Depp????"

I'll leave this up for a few more hours, and see if anybody's going to actually make a guess- wild or otherwise- on the titles of any of those songs;. You already know the artist, so there should at least be one or possibly 2 wild guesses, which would hit 2 of the songs I used.

I've been told that many youths traveled by hitchhiking at the time. That doesn't change the fact that it was ILLEGAL to do so. vpw REQUIRED it. His excuses included using it to witness to people, and teaching them to believe. Those are EXCUSES. The real reason, obviously, was that it was a FREE method to get the students places. vpw was perfectly fine with free when possible- even when that put people in physical danger. When people were assaulted from hitchhiking, when they were injured from climbing dangerously at the direction of leaders of the climb, when they were injured traveling to and fro at unsafe speeds because they were required to do so- it was considered THEIR FAULT because they MAGICALLY FAILED TO BELIEVE AWAY the danger vpw and his programs PUT THEM IN. Excuses have been made, but those running a program have a legal responsibility (a fiduciary responsibility) to ensure the required parts of their program are as safe as can reasonably be expected. Participants in Christian education programs can REASONABLY expect not to be in danger from rapes, falling off cliffs or losing toes due to frostbite, or car crashes because the required time requires unsafe speeds in an unsafe vehicle not legal to use to transport people. In twi, each of these things happened, and twi was to be kept clear of blame, and the leadership clear of blame- despite all of those being THEIR FAULT. And when things that HAD HAPPENED were brought to vpw's attention (like rapes), he blew off the reasonable concerns of other women who didn't want to be put in that sort of risk. And to some people to this day, vpw and others are STILL not to be blamed for requiring practices that put people in danger. One poster has been in physical therapy for DECADES because his LEAD group was required to exceed the legal speed limit, during heavy winds, while most of the group was pulled behind a truck in a MAKESHIFT hitch (professional hitches and actual vehicles with seat-belts cost MONEY, you know, so, can't use those), and when one of the heavy crosswinds hit the trailer hitch, the entire rig flipped over. For those not paying attention.... -They were required to exceed the legal speed limit. -They were required to squeeze in Corps evaluations WHILE DRIVING. -They were required to drive in heavy winds WHILE above the speed limit. -They were required to travel- not in a vehicle with seat- belts, air bags, or anything else- but rather stuffed in a trailer hitch put together by twi people. All of that led to the vehicle and trailer flipping over in heavy winds, causing long-term injuries to the passengers in the truck and the trailer, requiring DECADES of physical therapy. I've been told not to blame vpw or twi for any of those REQUIREMENTS being the DIRECT CAUSE or CONTRIBUTING FACTOR to the actual crash. I think anyone who still thinks that could probably use some professional help.
