  1. No. Just because a movie has a notable eating establishment in it doesn't mean the title will reference it. BTW, the one in this movie is not any form of diner or coffee shop- it's made for a more upscale clientele.
  2. No, this movie does not have the word "Avengers" in its title, nor the word "Endgame" in its title.
  3. *checks something* Interesting. "Upstairs, Downstairs" was a British TV show that aired decades ago, then had a sequel series much later. This round's answer is NOT "Upstairs, Downstairs." It is, however, both British and well-known to all Brits. In fact, it's been said that it's part of your childhood in Britain to have watched this show while hiding behind the couch at some point.
  4. Hello, Mike Barbour. God bless you. I'm sure a lot of us are interested in what you wrote. Unfortunately, you submitted a "text-block" - a huge block of text that is hard to read comfortably. As a public service, I'm going to repost what you wrote, adding ONLY the spaces, so that we can read what you wrote comfortably. I will NOT change ONE WORD of your text-block. Ok, here goes. Mike Barbour posted (above) the following....... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Until the Way leadership repents and apologizes for it's sins, sins either by commission or omission, then I will have nothing more to do with them. I believe Dr. Weirwille did teach the Truth to the best of his ability and certainly challenged each of us to prove the scriptures for ourselves. He said the Way never makes anybody leave, just anybody. Well, the homophobic, self righteous bastard that followed him certainly dispelled that myth. I had a very long talk with Wanda Weirwille right after everything came out about the sex scenes. She openly admitted it was happening, unlike any of those in leadership positions. I told her I care about TWI but I can't stand in support of what leadership was doing behind closed doors. Teaching one thing and doing another is NOT okay, it's hypocritical at best and insidious. Letting the Devil in even a little bit means you've lost any legitimacy you might have ever had. I'm sorry but I don't see anywhere in the Word that it's ok to lead a double life, nor is it ok to yell at and berate people. Being especially good to those of the household of faith means you have to actually BE that! What Martindale did and the rest of them, and yes, even VPW is not something that is tolerable in least sense. Excusing it is even worse. I entered the Way when I was completely lost. I was healed by the Word. I thought we were surrounded by good men and women. I never put my faith in man, my faith is and always remained having my faith in God. I believe we were taught more Truth than any other organization on the planet, and I still believe that to be true. There were faults that crept in, having superiority complexes for a start, perpetuated over and over again, especially by Craig Martindale. Of course VPW did that as well, anyone born again is of the household of faith, not those just in the Way. It always bothered me the title bestowed on VPW. The father in the word was damn near blasphemy! God is our Father, not VPW. This among other things let the fox into the henhouse so to speak. The I can sleep with any number of women I want was another one. Even if God hadn't changed, old testament people having multiple wives, that's fine, but they weren't teaching that NOR were they taking in multiple wives. The sex club was out of bounds for anything God ever said was ok. The homophobia and purging after VPW died is also against God's Word. NO one has any scripture saying you kick "sinners" out to the curb. That goes against everything Jesus did and taught his disciples to do and nowhere does God allow that. There is a specific instance where God says to hand someone over to the adversary. But, if that's what they were justifying what did upon they were dead wrong. That scripture deals with disruptive people who are inside causing trouble and being disruptive to the body. That's not why they were throwing people out on their foot. Tbey were throwing anyone out who dared to question them about anything. Or who they believed were somehow a threat, like gay people, who news flash, are usually some of the least troublesome people you'd ever meet. I don't know their heads got so big they thought they were doing God's work. Except as I said, you give the Devil an inch and he will steal, kill and destroy everything of God. You can't serve two masters. You can claim to be serving one, but if you're serving the other then you're not serving one. You can't teach people one thing and do another and call yourself serving God. Mistakes and sins can be forgiven, but purposely lying and covering up a double life doesn't leave time to serve God. Now, if they had come out and said this is what we are doing and here is what God says about and why it's ok, and research had been done proving they are living a life decent and in order according to God's Word, then we would have had a starting point to start figuring out if they were telling us Truth. But, of course they couldn't, so they chose to hide it behind closed doors until men and women decided enough already, and brought their double lives to light. Then, OMG, they had to purge people because God forbid anyone stand up to them with doctrine! Like John Shoengeit (spelling?) did with his research paper during a time the Research Ministry was, gasp, suspended. You can't call yourself one thing and refuse to do it. Martindale decided then we had to get back to basics. Basic what? Idolatry? Polishing the pedestal VPW was placed on? Basic what exactly? Isn't it basic scripture you were using to sleep with multiple women? Oh, NO, of course it wasn't. So how dare someone research to see if it's ok to be unfaithful to your wife/husband?! Then get thrown on his foot when his paper says, shocker, it's not ok. Anyone around during that time either knew it was happening or were part of it. So, anyone that remained after it was exposed was either supporting it directly or indirectly. I went one step further and recalled scripture not to believe anything against an elder except in the case of 2 or 3 witnesses. I got multiple witnesses before I ever saw Wanda Weirwille. So, until leadership apologizes for the wrong they did or supported and takes responsibility for the blatantly false doctrine perpetuated by all the leaders, our only Father being God, anyone born again in the household of faith etc. I just will support doctrinal and practical errors. They truly do owe a huge apology to everyone they hurt or continue to hurt because we all were hungry for the Truth, but the double lives and serving Satan at the head by perpetuating outright lies and not being repentent when confronted with the Truth, well, we are left with the only option left to us, hand them over to the adversary and walk away. Heartbroken and weeping, but necessary because God doesn't allow leaders and elders to live double lives and He is clear on what we are to do. Confront them with the Truth and with witnesses. We did, and they marked us and threw us out. Newsflash for them, they are the ones who were marked and thrown out, not us. It is more difficult to serve God now but God never said I'll make it simple and keep a ministry walking on my Word for you to have and support you. So, we do what we can and believe God regardless. But, new presidents with old ways are still unacceptable and if they stood on the Word, they can not stand with ministry committing blashphemy, or unapologetic for trying to destroy people's lives who were doing the right thing. I believe God taught Dr. Weirwille and I believe what he taught was mostly right, and taught with his understanding at the time. I don't know that anyone will ever be 100% right because we do not have perfect originals to go by. But, by revelation and a willingness to work the Word God can show us many things. Knowledge puffeth up, and it certainly did in the Way. It seems that leads to corruption as well. I don't know at what point that started, but I do think it was later rather than sooner. All I know is I learned how to work the word for myself and gained a lot of knowledge, some was blatantly wrong but most was as close to the Truth as I think we will ever come. It is a real shame leadership lost any meekness or humility and decided to walk away from God en masse, and remove peoole en masse. With a few changes God would have still blessed it and us as a group, but Satan got his grubby little hands involved and ruined it for everyone. I'm not sure they will ever come back from that, because they are choosing arrogance over humility.
  5. Ok, this show had quite a supporting cast over the years. Characters included: Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Dodo Chaplet, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Clara Oswald, Rose Tyler, Dorothy Gale 'Ace'McShane, and Micky Smith, plus one dog, sort-of. In the "clever gadgets" category, this show also had a gadget ring that was replaced and generally forgotten, and some sort of magic paper that's often forgotten. Its wardrobe changes are probably as well known as anything else, to the more casual viewer. (The main character changed entire wardrobes multiple times, for good reason.) BTW, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was also known simply as "the Brig." Most of the actors of this show are known PRIMARILY because of this show, with a few exceptions. One also played Hamlet. Guests include John Cleese, Meredith Viera, and Diana Rigg. Billie Piper also is best-known for this show, but not exclusively for it.
  6. Next movie. There once was a plan to spoof this movie, but that plan fell through, and the later movie didn't spoof it at all- just its location. This movie included an ensemble that got rather emotional filming some scenes since they cut a bit close to their own personal experiences- and memories. Some time after this movie was released, someone sent a spec-script around with the original movie's plot, and its name from when they were writing it pre-release. A number of people recognized the movie, and others claimed it was "not good enough" to be a successful movie. A few added there was too much dialogue and not enough sex. One actress intended to remake this movie. All the major studios refused to consider it. "That film is deemed untouchable." So, those plans were scrapped (for which I am grateful.) The set for the eating establishment was made for this movie, but just about everything else were pre-made sets already built by the studio. The musician in the movie was actually a drummer, despite what he pretended to play for the movie. (ACTING!)
  7. "Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a bed-and-breakfast for a biker gang? Oh, that's Charles Spencer by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree. 3.6 GPA. Had a floor-level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first, he wanted to put a few miles on his soul, before he parked it behind a desk. See the world, maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam. Sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer, building sustainable housing for the poor." "An empire toppled by its enemies can rise again. But one which crumbles from within? That's dead. Forever." "Oh, you're going to have to take this to the shop." "Who's speaking?" "It's your conscience. We don't talk a lot these days." "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't. and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you." "Clearly retirement doesn't suit you. Get tired of playing golf?" "Well, I played 18, I shot 18. Just can't seem to miss." "Hey, man!" " What's up, Tic-Tac?" "Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time was... " "It was a great audition, but it'll... It'll never happen again." "Vengeance has consumed you. It's consuming them. I am done letting it consume me. Justice will come soon enough." "Tell that to the dead. " "The living are not done with you yet." "Anybody got any orange slices?" "She said, "Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, you move'.""

  10. "Dorothy Gale" is also the name of the main character of "the Wizard of Oz." You read correctly- that IS a single character with the nickname "Ace" and a last name of "McShane."

  13. The original BG didn't have characters with names that sounded anything like that ( 1980 may have). Those were not names of ACTORS, they were names of CHARACTERS, which tend to be easier to remember. This show also did not have any form of dagget or daggit.

  16. I have to catch up. Post-Crisis, I've skimmed the Black Lightning episode and that's that, so far.
  17. I once read some Bachman stuff- "The Long Walk" and "Why I Was Bachman." On the one hand, Bachman's stuff began selling really well entirely on its own merits. On the other hand, when Steven King's name was later attached to his Bachman books, the sales multiplied. Obvious differences included more exposure, and readers having confidence in a particular writer's work over unknown quantities. (I have a dozen or so authors I really like, so I get that.) Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse "the Body" Ventura, IIRC, both became governors (Ben Richards and Captain Freedom.) Erland van Lidth was in Stir Crazy as well as "THE RUNNING MAN." As "Dynamo", he sang his own arias while driving his Stalker vehicle. Big dude, went to MIT, wrestled and sang opera. Had a short acting career due to dying young. So, the movie is "THE RUNNING MAN." Ended on a much happier note than the book of the same name. Although the book didn't have Dweezil Zappa saying "Don't touch that dial."
  18. Ok, that's more like it. Sharon Stone Total Recall Arnold Schwarzenegger
  19. I think I saw all of the first episode. They tried for a British secret agent show. We didn't feel like watching that.
  20. Next song. "Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee. There was three young ladies in the school gym locker When I noticed they was lookin' at me. I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady 'Til the boys told me somethin' I missed. Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor So I gave her just a little kiss Like this."
