  1. It's easy to keep this thread going, if at least one person wants to. Personally, when I get some time (if I get some time), I'm interested in reviewing some individual letters and their contents. That's just one obvious way to keep it going while being on-topic, I'm sure there's a number of other ways to do that.
  2. Seriously? Nobody's got the answer here? I can take another turn, and play it again, if you want.
  3. 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.

    Cancer

    A virus is a lifeform, as is a fungus. Both have "a life of their own." Cancer's a misfire in the body's immune system. We don't yet know all the possible triggers, but the answer is VERY complicated because there's lots of risk factors, including some genetic ones and exposure ones (it can run in families, exposure to a known carcinogen, especially over time, can lead to it). However, we don't have ALL the answers on it now, we may never have all the answers to it. I'd buy that devils could inspire unhealthy behaviours, and those unhealthy behaviours would be risk factors to cause cancer. There's no need to make up an entire system of "and devils can affect biology directly, but only under certain super-specific instances", which is what would be needed to try to accomodate the twi doctrine in any consistent fashion. In short, vpw made lots of stupid claims which were picked up by others. This was one of them. There's no evidence of any kind to support this one that isn't easy to dismiss.
  5. He can also click on the username to get a screen with an option to "send me a message." If he can master those 2 clicks, he can move on to using the "reply" function correctly.

  7. Thanks for the rules clarification. In this case, however, I think I'll go with Deathtrap Michael Caine Batman Begins
  8. BTW, just FYI, The GSC has had a number of posters down the years who started posting only questions and never stating an opinion for themselves and ducking all questions directed at them, then hot hostile when others refused to answer their questions, or to answer them the way THEY wanted them answered. So far, that's never gone well for the questioner.

  10. "Yesterday, when the lady next door answered the door, there was a man there, and the man said to the lady, "I'm terribly sorry, I just ran over your cat."" "Oh, that is sad." "The poor cat." "And the man said, "I'd like to replace your cat." And the lady said, "That's all right with me, but how are you with catching mice?" " "Speakin' o' names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith." "What's the name of his other leg?"
  11. NOW I think we're talking "South Pacific."

  13. Again, going to make this count..... Van Heflin The Three Musketeers Vincent Price
  14. Here's a breakdown. Jane Webb Shannon Farnon Connie Caulfield Jane Webb voiced her first of all, in a "Brady Kids" cartoon, "It's all Greek to Me" in 1972. SF, CC and BJ Ward voiced her in the "Super Friends" cartoons, in that order. (1973-1986.) Betty Jean "B.J." Ward Susan Eisenberg Dakota Fanning (really) Susan Eisenberg voiced her several times, starting with "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited." In the episode "Kids Stuff", Dakota F voices the kiddie Diana Prince. Vicki Lewis Margaret Denise Quigley "Maggie Q" Grey DeLisle VL voiced her in "Batman:the Brave and the Bold." "Young Justice" is where Maggie Q voiced her. Grey voiced her in a number of appearances, starting with "JLA Adventures-Trapped in Time." Cathy Lee Crosby Lucy Lawless Keri Russell As you noted, CLC played her in the pilot for the first attempt of a live show that was actually filmed and aired (1974). Lucy L voiced her in "Justice League-New Frontier." Keri Russell voiced her in the 2009 full-length animated movie, "Wonder Woman." Vanessa Marshall Michelle Monaghan Cobie Smulders VM voiced her in "Justice League-Crisis on 2 Earths." MM was in "Justice League-War." CS voiced her in "The Lego Movie" (2014.) That marked the character's first appearance in a theatrical release. Rosario Dawson Kari Wahlgren Laura Bailey "Justice League-Throne of Atlantis" (2015) was Rosario Dawson. "Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League" (2015) was Kari W. Laura Bailey was in "Lego Batman" 2 & 3.
  15. I was holding Gal Gadot and Lynda Carter as the last 2 names. Most of the actresses were voice artists for her, some of them in multiple animations.

  17. "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins." Actually introduced me to the character, Remo Williams, aka "the Destroyer." It wasn't until 1989 that I found any of the books. I later picked up a few of the earlier books in the series, either as reprints or as used books. Here's an exerpt from one of the most recent books. ===================================================== A locked steel door was the only exit to the rear alley. Remo sensed no explosives wired to the door. In a spray of mortar and falling bricks, Remo tore it from its hinges. The door was not wired to explode because there were five men inside guarding it. Remo used the door to crush two against the wall of the basement hallway before they could even finger their triggers. The remaining three, seeing their comrades turned to mushy central masses possessed of human arms and legs, and seeing the figure of legend who had killed them, threw down their guns and threw up their hands. “We surrender!” Remo cast a cold eye over the three cowering figures, men who would gleefully murder innocents in the name of their cause, now quivering before him. “Which one of you is Mohammed?” Remo asked. Three shaking hands were raised. “Him too,” one of the terrorists said, pointing toward a mangled corpse. “Okay, which one of you is Mustafa’s brother?” Two hands lowered. “Mustafa who was busted before he could fly a plane into the White House in 2001?” Remo asked. The terrorist had to think for a moment. “Did you say 2001?” he asked. Remo nodded. “Oh.” The terrorist lowered his hand and shook his head. None of these was the man he was after. “I will let all of you live if just one of you knows the meaning of the word mercy,” Remo said coldly. The three startled terrorists huddled like game show contestants. When they had decided on an answer, their spokesman turned hopefully to Remo. “It means ‘thank you’ in French.” Remo left the bodies near the alley door and headed for the basement stairs. ====================================================================== There's hope for a new movie, "the Destroyer." Hope is mixed. It's been speculated that Hollywood can't handle a character like the one in the above excerpt without making him a villain.
  18. No. AFAIK, Maggie Q played her, but nobody else on this list.
  19. One of the biggest things was the Aura of Inerrancy around vpw. vpw put for that himself was some Great One, and that he had a Special Connection with God Almighty. So, his shortcomings and failings had to be glossed over. This was especially true of things vpw didn't understand. In pfal, vpw made a passing comment that the Book of Revelation wasn't difficult to understand. Later, in private, he mentioned not wanting to try to tackle it because it was difficult. But his passing claim in pfal made him sound really knowledgeable- how he even had no trouble with the Book of Revelation. So, what he didn't understand had to be covered over and explained away. As for his magical believing, he borrowed from a number of sources, some Christian and some not. From EW Kenyon, he borrowed both the Word of Faith movement, and prosperity theology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_of_Faith https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology He also learned some of it from Glenn Clark and Albert Cliffe http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/rsr_lawbelieve.htm Albert Cliffe, in particular, attributed his learning to his work as a psychic medium for the dead. Glenn Clark was a promulgator of New Thought. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Thought Albert Cliffe was a guest of wierwille's during the years he was on his congregation's payroll, looking to set up his own organization.
  20. Just checking if I'm logging in lately? You probably remember I'm a fan of the books....
