*checks* Correct, on both title and artist! I was going to post Del Shannon's "Little Runaway," since "Running Down a Dream" mentioned it. Then I realized I could do a less obvious song, also from Del Shannon. Turns out both he and Dion DiMucci did "Runaround Sue". So, obviously, either was correct and it's George's turn. (I hope my internet's done being quarrelsome henceforth.)

My thoughts (which are probably worth what you paid for them) are along some simple lines. Perhaps this could be similar to the "Questioning Faith" subforum. That's meant to be a place to post in an agnostic or atheistic framework without getting static about that, so long as one is on-topic. Similarly, this could be a place to post in a theistic or monotheistic framework (depending on the focus, either for all faiths or more for "people of the Book" without getting static for that position, as long as one is on-topic. Naturally, people would have to agree to be courteous about other people's positions- no poking fun at someone who keeps a kosher table or sticks to halal, no cheap shots at those speaking in tongues (or not), and so on. This would at least provide a framework for discussions that left out, say, dragging off-topic to defend one's faith if that's not the topic (and that probably belongs in the main Doctrinal anyway), and would hopefully leave street corner rants and polemics in the main Doctrinal forum. I miss the Decaffeinated Politics forum because we could discuss things that were vaguely political but not prone to arguments (I posted on the anniversary of the Kent State 4 once.) Then again, that stuff might do just as well in Open now, depending on the subject. I went off-course. Anyway, I think dividing the discussions that way would encourage more discussions of that type. (Plenty of flame-wars certainly discouraged them in the past,)

Petty once said, of that song, that he'd stumbled across a riff that somehow escaped Led Zeppelin discovering it first. (Something to that effect, I don't have the exact wording.) Ok, next song. "She likes to travel around. She'll love you and she'll put you down. Now people let me put you wise- She goes out with other guys."

If the rules somewhere are truly so repugnant to someone that the feel they can't post there without clashing with the moderators or breaking them, the only sensible thing to do is to post elsewhere, and, if necessary, to make their OWN messageboard where they can A) make the rules B) deal with any repercussions if anything happens for any reason (technical, legal, etc) There is no constitutional right to post on this or any other messageboard.

My internet connection's a little wonky, but I'll give it a shot at posting. This is the great guitar riff and accompanying song. "Running Down a Dream," by Tom Petty. It was one of the hits off of "Full Moon Fever."

Just to say I asked, Tony Shaloub?

James Cameron's career possibly took off after this film. He and Gale Ann Hurd both worked on this film, other films later, and a marriage. "Space Raiders" re-used a lot of the effects (plus the score), and "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" reused the score. There were some Jewish inside jokes. Some alien script was Hebrew, one character was "GELT", and his assistants were "URIM" and "THUMMIM." Nestor (all 5 we met) agree to fight for Akir because, as a hive mind, they are never surprised, and need to find interesting things to do. Gelt was rich, but a wanted man everywhere (for the same reason.) So, he worked for the Akir for a place he could sit down, eat decent food, and hide without having to watch his back. Space Cowboy, of Earth, was played by George Peppard. Naturally, the character smoked cigars. Robert Vaughn's "Gelt" was based on his character in "the Magnificent Seven", complete with some repeated dialogue. BTW, I would have gotten it just from the Valkyrie's quote. She had a fast, maneuverable ship. She could outfly other ships even if they were much better armed. Shooting them down, however, is a lot harder that way. George's turn!

RIGHT! In Spanish, it's sometimes known as "The Magnificent Seven in Space." Sometimes Spanish movie titles make more sense than the English, sometimes less. Sometimes they're the same or approximately the same. This movie was Roger Corman's attempt to capitalize on Star Wars' success and make a space flick, using the same strategy "The Magnificent Seven" did. Instead of turning Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" into a Western, he turned it into an SF flick.

From what we've seen, vpw never actually DENIED the Holocaust. Behind closed doors, he said Hitler had the right idea and that the US fought on the wrong side in WW2. He recommended books, and echoed books- that said the modern Jews were not the historical Jews (proven wrong since then), and that the numbers of deaths in the Holocaust were greatly exaggerated (if anything, they were UNDERstated.) I don't know if actually DENYING the Holocaust would be worse than all that, but I've never heard of him actually deny the Holocaust.

-There's a director and producer that worked on "Terminator", "Aliens", and "The Abyss". They met working on THIS film. (Not as producer nor director.) -The executive producer normally worked on lower-budget films than this, but the film zeitgeist that year suggested this setting of film might also be an automatic success if made, so he was granted a real budget for this one. -Among the extras was comedienne Kathy Griffin, in her first acting role as anything in a film. -A number of the special effects made for this movie were later reused in a low-budget film, as was the score (in that and in ANOTHER low-budget film.) -One character's assistants are named "Urim" and "Thummim". -John Saxon -Sybil Danning -Sam Jaffe -Robert Vaughn -Richard Thomas -George Peppard -This film was not a cowboy film. (This is a comment on the setting and the genre, not a comment on the dramatis personae.) -This film was not a Japanese period piece. -Despite being a rubbish negotiator, the protagonist managed to hire 2 people based on (1) avoiding being "bored to death", and (2) "a meal and a place to hide." "Is that real smoke you're putting into your lungs?" "Yup. And before ya ask, it is the worst thing in the world for me." "Well, I don't think you should do it." The natives of Akir are known as the Akira. There's a perfectly good reason for the Powers That Be to make a nod to Akira Kurosawa. Robert Vaughn's character was based on a different character he played in a different movie, complete with a few of the same lines. "Shad, did you see me on the monitor? There was a drone right on my tail. I pulled out; he smashed into an asteroid! " "We are Nestor." "All of you?"

Will Scarlett O'hara said he was from Georgia. Atchoo saw his knife skills and asked if he was from South Central. The merry men dressed as women to sneak into the archery contest. Robin was in prison in the Crusades before he escaped. When Robin asked who was in, he asked the villagers 'yay or nay.' Richard Lewis, as Prince John, whined about the noise of a fight or something. Atchoo called "Blinken" once, and Blinken thought he heard 'Lincoln'. Robin and Atchoo, fighting, allegedly used "Praying Mantis" on the guardsmen. "You vow, we move!"- Avery Schreiber, as his team moved the castle just as Robin returned to it. Robin grabbed the wrong rope to swing on- then later grabbed the right rope as he checked. The Godfather took the cotton balls out of his mouth and handed them to Luca, whose reply sounded overblown. Blinken asked many questions when Robin returned from the Crusades, including if he returned alive. Little John, insisting on a toll for crossing a bridge, recited his little rhyme about the toll. Fahrvergnugen, Brunhilde's horse, commented when she was going to try to jump down into the saddle. When Rabbi Tuckman was marrying Robin and Marion, King Richard shouted an interruption. "I object!" RT: "Who asked?"

Robin, saying goodbye to Maid Marion. Blinken, temporarily recovering his sight and losing it again, both with crashing into a tree headfirst. Prince John met with a Godfather from Jersey. His associates were Dirty Ezio and Filthy Luca. Filthy Luca talked like he was in a "Godfather" movie. Prince John's mole was in a different location in every scene.

The character "Blinken" was a spoof of the blinded servant in RH-POT. In this version, he tells Robin, upon returning, that his entire family was dead. In the archery contest, Filthy Luca split Robin's arrow. This resulted in people booing and throwing vegetables. ("Oh, good-they opened the salad bar."- Blinken) Robin checked the script to confirm he had another shot. King Richard returned, and had Prince John arrested. Robin's speech to the gathered villagers included the "Lend me your ears!" *ears thrown at Robin* "That was disgusting." Prince John got a prediction from his cook, "Latrine", who was not an actual witch.

This IS "Robin Hood- Men in Tights."

"Blinkin, listen to me. They've taken the castle!" ""I thought it felt a bit drafty. Cor, this never would have happened if your father was alive." "He's dead?" "Yes..." "And my mother?" "She died of pneumonia while..Oh, you were away!" "My brothers?" "There were all killed by the plague." "My dog, Pongo?" "Run over by a carriage." "My goldfish, Goldie?" "Eaten by the cat." "My cat?" "Choked on the goldfish." " I lost. I lost? Wait a second, I'm not supposed to lose. Let me see the script. " "Take him away! Put him in the Tower of London! Make him part of the tour." "Good people, who have travelled from villages near and far! Lend me your ears!" "He seeks to regain his family's honor. Little sod could be trouble." "Are you certain?" "Certain? You want certain, hire yourself a witch! Me, I'm just your cook. Here, eat that." "Looks like a Seder at Vincent Price's house."

"I don't know. There's a reference to the Crusades and one to Abe Lincoln, so my earlier thoughts were either time travel or some long historical film." This is not a time travel film. This is not a particularly long film. "And, yes, I saw the underlining. If it were a HUMP instead of a MOLE, I'd guess Young Frankenstein, but I don't remember any of these lines from that movie, either." Right- this movie is NOT "Young Frankenstein." "It has a Monty Pythonesque or Mel Brooksish feel, but I don't recognize any of the lines." This is NOT a Monty Python film.

Anyone who thinks they can do better in running a messageboard is welcome to do so. I had one once. It's a LOT harder than it looks once YOU are actually responsible and accountable.

George? What is the time-frame of this movie's setting? Does this movie have any distinguishing marks? Who did this movie? What is the name of one of the characters?

That is the name of a singer, and many singers are also actors, so it probably is the same guy. This guy did a song with Colbie Caillat for kids about staying calm, called "Belly Breathe." (Elmo's in the video.)

There is NO judicial scene whatsoever. There is a different type of "court", but that's not what you meant. There's underlines, if you missed them.

I agree with this post.
