  1. The only movie I know of that was remake shot for shot was "PSYCHO". Other than the amount of stolen money, I think the script was identical.
  2. Yes on the timing, I mentioned them chronologically, and Show 3 lasted one season. The shows all shared SOME characters but not every single one was shared with any of the others. I'd need a tight definition on "spin-off" to know if you'd think they were spin-offs. I'd say "no", but it's open to interpretation. (They do share some characters as the same characters.)
  3. I was definitely talking about the 3rd series. I found it unwatchable. All the shows had different names from each other. However, you'd know they shared characters just from the titles.
  4. Ok, next round. This show lasted for 5 seasons. It had 2 shows eventually follow. One used a very similar format and lasted for about 2 seasons (changing networks in the process.) The other used a completely different format and lasted 1 season. Apparently, critics seemed to like it, but the public didn't watch it. (Me, I thought it was awful, but I don't speak for everyone. In fact, I found "The Star Wars Holiday Special" more watchable.) None of the shows premiered while any of the others was in production of new episodes, nor did they premiere shortly after any of the others ended filming. Although the first show occasionally made a passing reference to a cinematic release, AFAIK, the others did not (in the case of the last one, that seems just a little strange, given the timing.) Name the first show (for bragging rights, the names of all 3 shows.)
  5. Correct! Norwegian Wood, the Beatles. Beautiful song about a guy who's led on by a girl, and gets back at her by torching her house.
  6. Next song. "I sat on a rug, Biding my time, Drinking her wine. We talked until two, And then she said "It's time for bed". "
  7. Hey- in "Crisis in the 30th Century/Crisis in Triplicate", Mordru was shoved aside as the big bad by the Demons Three! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_(DC_Comics)#"Crisis_in_the_30th_Century!"_and_"Crisis_in_Triplicate!" https://comicvine.gamespot.com/justice-league-of-america-147-crisis-in-the-30th-c/4000-17839/ The JLA, JSA and LSH had to work together to defeat them. All 3 teams TOGETHER? Big villains in a "crisis" Summer crossover? Back benchers? The singing thing was a reference to seeing "the Star Wars Holiday Special" the one time it aired. (And decades later as a bootleg.)
  8. Well, don't be surprised if we respond before spending 1 hour, 4 minutes on the thing. I still haven't seen all of it, and I caught around 45 minutes last night. Covering some of the same verses as twi, she came to some of the same conclusions Leonard and others have come to. Do you have more about this "Novus Ordo"? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's curious.
  9. It certainly would be appreciated. When someone doesn't mention the length, I tend to think it's under 15 minutes and usually less. It is nice to let people know when they'd have to sit for an hour to listen to the whole thing, and when to go to if there's a specific question.
  10. It's been a niche subject, but they've been discussing it (in small groups) since at least the early 70s and possibly sooner. So far, nothing like a big encyclical saying "Ok, now, everybody read up on this" or anything.
  11. Demolition Man Sylvester Stallone Tango & Cash
  12. He subject used to be called "Charismatic Catholics." You might find more information under that title. (Yes, they used "charismata" as the root for "charismatic" since they say those are gifts. If it's ONE gift, it may be considered A "charisma" per Christian, so, the title still works under the other system.)
  13. I thought the "Hadouken!" Street Fighter reference might throw you off. Apparently, not at all. I didn't even get to use "Say my name!" "BILLY!!!" Took place in Philly. Miss Fawcett City? I do, at least a little. I STILL see the image up. I don't know why you can't.
  14. Here's something that's not particularly old. "Hadouken!" "I can see why Rocky climbed up all the way here." "Hey, guys, can you shoot him in the face? "Yeah, yeah, shoot me in the face!... Wait, what?"
  15. Dream Academy planned on calling this song "The Morning Lasted All Day." Once they added the chorus, they decided to go with "Life in a Northern Town." Personally, I thought "Life in Another Time" might have been more appropriate, but the band never asked me what I thought.
  16. II Peter 2: 20, 21 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. vpw said that the phrase "private interpretation" would most literally be "one's own (private) letting-loose", and at length talked about how hunting parties let loose the hounds upon a hunt. The following verse shows that the point was where the "prophecy of the scripture" came from - not man's will, but God's volition. THEREFORE, don't take your personal interpretation and just impose it on something from God as you would something written by some poet. Of course, this means that when vpw was rambling away with his analogy, he was engaging in exactly what II Peter 2:20 said NOT to do! For those of us who have looked at his track record, it's not a shock to find another verse that said the opposite of what vpw said, especially what he said ABOUT that very verse.
  17. I said that Martin Stein and his puppet didn't count because it was just a puppet of Stein, and then something else (not Stein) possessed it. I never said "Legends of Tomorrow" didn't count, and you never actually guessed it- you said you "were tempted to" guess it. The midseason ending show, "Legends of To-Meow-Meow" had Constantine struggling to change the timeline, and one of his many failed timelines resulted in Zari becoming a puppet in the jumpship, and Ray, Hank and Sara becoming "DC's Puppets of Tomorrow"- complete with a theme song, opening sequence, and so on. Actually, Mrs Wolf and I wanted to see more of that show. It was obviously a kids' show that taught things. Hank was teaching about history (in that episode, Napoleon), and Ray on math and science, and Sara something about teamwork. Raf got this round, if he wants it.
  18. I considered that, but didn't think CARRIE FISHER was in this many roles.
  19. It was not an episode of "The Flash." What counts as a spin-off of Arrow is definitely open to interpretation. (Mrs Wolf and I certainly disagree on that subject.)
  20. Sorry about the spelling/ I'm not interested in chick flicks in general. Sports neither, unless it's a hitting sport (boxing, fencing, TKD...) Give me a few hours on the next one.
  21. Correct. Angel himself was turned into a puppet in one episode. George should be able to deduce what the other one is, based on what's been posted so far- by him and me.
  22. This is a weird round, but this is what I want to post now. There were two shows, one previous, one current. Both are/were supposed to be action shows, of some sort, and had/ have some comedic moments. Both shows have something specific in common (and probably nothing else.) Both shows have had at least one main character TRANSFORMED INTO A PUPPET during an episode. Both shows can be considered "spin-offs" of an existing show (one of them was, the other COULD be considered one if you're very, very flexible on how you use that definition.) Name either show.
  23. Right. It had a title role, so that eliminated a bunch of "sport" movies. OH! "JERRY MC GUIRE!"
  24. Victor Garber wanted to leave the show, so Dr Stein was killed off (I would have liked keeping Franz Drameh on as Jax, however.) Later, someone wanted to help the group get some closure, so they made a Dr Stein puppet so people could say what they always meant to say- to the puppet. Later, a demon or something (dybbuk) that possesses puppets got ahold of the Stein puppet and took it over. But that's not Stein, that's "Mike The Spike", voiced by Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman.) So, Stein does not count, nor does Mike The Spike.
