I agree that it's funny. I'm absolutely certain you've seen this movie.

Oddly enough, I don't think this actor and Glenn Ford have ever been in the same movie. (I could be wrong, but that's what I think, at least.)

No, someone better-known, IMHO.

Ok, next movie. ======================= -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 climate suggested this film might be a smash 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".

I'm glad somebody got it. I'm not sure I've ever heard of the title OR the artist.

I don't think he's completing an entire Dirty Dozen. I suspect he's stopping at a "MAGNIFICENT SEVEN."

Considering the history of vpw's group, its "scraping by" years exceeded its successful years. He started, IIRC, in 1941. In 1942 AND 1943 (I may be off and it was 1941 and 1942), vpw claims he considered giving up. If he told the truth, he certainly didn't have much endurance to "run the race." Imagine if anyone else went to HIM talking about quitting, what a failure he'd make them out to be, especially the SECOND time. He claimed to have heard from God Almighty in 1942, and STILL nothing took off. He continued for several years in the denomination, while doing side-projects for over a decade, with a radio show, editing the work of Bible teachers, and so on. A few years after he was able to deed the family farm to HIS ministry, (time to do work around it), he went out on his own, and complained that he wasn't getting enough tithes to do the job. Even after stealing Leonard's class and Stiles' book, he had lukewarm results. If he hadn't hijacked the hippies around 1969-1970, he would have vanished into history, another would-be "giant" of history nobody's ever heard of. So, 1941-1969 is 28 years of lukewarm results and skating by. 1969-1982 is 13 years of success- built on the backs of others whom he deceived, and those years ended with him bitter and neglected just as he'd neglected so many others down the decades.

The names are slowly getting better-known, and will get obvious soon enough.

Genesis 4:20-22 (NASB) 0 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. 22 As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. ====================================================== -Jabal was "the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock." -Jubal was "the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe." Let's be sensible. Was this TRYING to say "all nomadic herders everywhere are the direct descendants of Jabal"? Was this TRYING to say "all musicians everywhere are the direct descendants of Jubal?" If so, what about nomadic herders who play the pipe? We know THEY existed (and probably exist to this day.) This was saying that these men were the forerunners of those people, the pioneers of those people who did those things. ====================================================== There's this tap-dance that was introduced to make Jesus' comments supposedly claim that Adam was "the serpent." The alleged reasoning went thusly: "Speaking to the apostate Jews of His day, Jesus said, “Ye serpents…" "Ye are of your father the devil" and that there must have been some sort of genetic basis for saying he was their father. So, the "father" part had to be literally a genetic bloodline and could not be figurative nor symbolic, while the "serpent" part had to be figurative and symbolic and could not be literal. ============================ In both the early chapters of Genesis and elsewhere in the Bible, "father" often is symbolic and not referring to a genetic sire. But this writer seems to have missed that- and without "father" being REQUIRED to be genetic, his entire basis for bringing in the Gospels falls down because it does not support his case (if anything, it undermined his case.) This is not difficult to see, with a plain reading of the text. There is no need for an esoteric or a "mystery" version of the text.

Of course, this is an actor you've heard of, and not some "Who? Who? Who?" person who played extras for his entire career. Hopefully, the answer will come to you soon. ( None of that was any type of clue.)

He asked if "the devil" literally appeared as a carnivorous, limbless reptile in The Garden.

Everything would have changed. He BRIEFLY (in the 1950s) talked about Ecumenical movements- he would have continued as ecumenical, giving Leonard and Stiles due credit, and claiming an eclectic group that did their best to incorporate the best of what each Christian ministry offered. If he reached out the the hippies, it would have been a joint effort and even-handed, and the results would still be felt to this day rather than having choked the vitality out of a nascent Christian movement.

Which means this is George's turn.

I like Yes, but I really don't know a lot of their songs well, at least to name the lyrics. Going to post another song?

Next movie, then. "What part of Georgia you from? South Central?"

Either way, we agree the point was "to convey concepts in terms humankind could understand." The disagreement on the table is what one of those concepts was. In this case, I think we have an example of someone who came up with an esoteric theory so that he could consider himself remarkably clever, as he came up with something the rest of us didn't find. ("They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Edison, they laughed at me..." "They also laughed at Bozo the Clown, Topo Gigio, and Señor Wences. Sit down, sparky.") Someone with more time on their hands might compare that to "and your eyes shall be opened" and other quotes from Genesis 3. It's not without irony.
