  1. Indeed. At least one poster once said that vpw called her in to put the moves on her-and had her "From Birth to the Corps" paper IN HIS HAND when she arrived. Can't get much more overt than that.... I never thought about OTHER PEOPLE having access to those. If I'd ever had to write one, I'm sure I deliberately would have left some things out and invented some things specifically for privacy and revelation reasons- if they know the actual and not the written version, they might know by revelation....
  2. Welcome! Many or most of us have been there. Even down to the "CoC in Upper Manhattan" thing. (They really liked Upper Manhattan, apparently.) Hope you like it here. If you want, you can even join the games we're playing. They're currently paused because we're all watching the Olympics, but I think that's going to taper off by Monday morning, so it's a good time to join the games. Whether or not you do, feel free to join in any discussion and share your thoughts-even if they're unpopular. It's nice to be free to agree to disagree.
  3. Look at the end of the post. Hit "quote." Seems equivalent to me. Actually, I'm more annoyed by the inability to start a new line without skipping a line. That's obviously a formatting issue.
  4. Vague memory of an 80s flick... "Black Moon Rising Sun"? Some movie about a car. Something moon rising. Saw it in the theater and that was it.
  5. Mrs Wolf and I agree Jinx was played by Halle Berry in a Pierce Brosnan film. She said it was his second, which I THINK is "Die Another Day." We think she survives. Octopussy is from "Octopussy", and we THINK she survives. Vesper Lind, my memory surfaced. She was in the reboot of "Casino Royale", I THINIK she died.

    Hypotherapy

    Replying SOLELY to its use in Psychology, At best, it's a band-aid solution. With compulsive behaviors troubling the patient, it is possible to use hypnosis to TEMPORARILY mask a symptom, but then therapy must take over. The hypnosis, at best, buys time to continue treatment and get lasting results. That having been said, for anything less than that, I consider using hypnosis or other forms of mind control to be akin to using a hammer to kill a flea. It's not good for the mind for someone to try to hack into it.
  7. Ok, so at least part of the time, he just called it "Princeton," and probably more than 1/2 the time, he called it "Princeton Theological". That's what I really wanted to know. This is striking against something peculiar. At some point in his ramblings, vpw said some things about getting awarded his doctorate while still working on his masters- which doesn't match the twi timelines. When trying to remember the specifics, I recall he mentioning the phrase "of Divinity" at least once there. By that, I mean he either said he was working on, or granted, a "Masters of Divinity", a "Doctorate of Divinity", or both. Does anyone else recall something like that? It's not in the official timeline. Then again, his claim of taking all of Moody's available correspondence classes isn't listed in their official timeline, and he definitely claimed that (it's in TW:LiL, for example.) It would not surprise me if he claimed he had a Masters and a Doctorate in both Divinity and Theology, as well as a PhD in Theology (a PhD as well as a ThD). We know he claimed to teach at some campus he visited-and was a guest-speaker, which is the work of an hour, not the work of a semester or 2.
  8. On the one hand, Princeton Theological Seminary is a real organization. Plotinus and Goey have both mentioned it's respected in theological circles (thus, was no diploma mill, unlike Pike's Peak.) On the other hand, it lacks the name recognition among the public and cachet that Princeton University has. I, personally, heard lcm say "Princeton" and leave people presuming vpw went to Princeton University. I supposed he got that from vpw since it's right out of his playbook (IMPLY a lie when you can rather than say it), but never actually heard vpw say it. You heard vpw say that one, that he went to "Princeton" and left it at that? (I'd appreciate confirmation, since I have "he said stuff LIKE this" and "sounds like what he'd say", but none of that is conclusive.
  9. I thought it was "trust me", but I thought he confirmed his quote so I just trusted him. I went from memory also, but that particular line stayed with me. (Saw it 4x in the theater, 2x on 2 different days, back when.)
  10. Ok, I'm almost useless with this list, but here's what I've got. Goodnight was in "Man With the Golden Gun." She survived to the closing credits and showed signs of being very healthy at that point. Bibi Dahl was in "For Your Eyes Only", and survived, AFAIK. She's not the official Bond girl, so this movie has another woman, but I don't remember which. (Corinne duFour???) The other one survives, also. Strawberry Fields is from one of the Daniel Craig ones, possibly "Spectre."
  11. This movie featured a return of the title character to the big screen (but was not a sequel.) The title character appears 48 minutes into the film. The title is first heard 1 hour, 33 minutes into the film. Superman had been in the theaters, serialized (not in a feature film, so I phrased this awkwardly.) Christopher Reeve appears in the movie 48 minutes in, and is only named 'Superman' when Lois composes her exclusive. The title character's tagline (an alternate version) is illustrated, in parts, across the movie. The actor who portrayed the title character the previous time he was in cinema had a cameo in this movie. Clark catches a bullet fired at Lois, (later circling the Earth in seconds), outraces a train and saves another when its track is gapped, rescues Lois and returns the helicopter to the roof in one motion. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. A variation of that was "able to soar higher than any plane!" and he carried the missile to the end of the Earth's atmosphere.

The actor who portrayed the title character the previous time he was in cinema had a cameo in this movie. This film's cast included Larry Hagman and John Ratzenberger. Ratzenberger was in air traffic control (and mission control in the second movie.) Hagman was the General moving the nuke by truck. If Hoover Dam was really in danger, there would be no risk of flooding nearby towns downstream. In the movie, however, there were towns downstream of the dam where there are none IRL. If Air Force One lost ONE engine, it would still fly fine and need no rescue. Air Force One is only AF1 when the US President is aboard, so there's no need to announce that they're Air Force One and the President is aboard.
  12. "Fly. Don't look, just...fly. We got something out there. I'm not saying what. Just...something." Correct. And Noel Neill played Lois Lane's mom. (Lois was the girl who saw the boy outrun her train.)

  14. Taking a semi-wild swing here, is this "Terminator:Salvation Run"?
  15. This is "Haven", isn't it? I actually came across the opposite question yesterday-which author's book was the basis.
  16. By chance, I came across a distinction between degrees. A Doctorate of Divinity is a different degree than a Doctorate in Theology. vpw, naturally, led people to believe he had a stack of degrees. Does anyone have, at hand, an actual "official" listing of what his degrees were? What was he, supposedly, a Doctor OF? Theology? Divinity? Something else? A separate question, of course, will be how "official" Pike's Peak was as a degree-granting institution.

  19. An amnesiac races to elude assassins to recover his memory-then has to track down the woman who's posed as him and ruined his credit and reputation. Stars include Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, and John Cho.
