Ok, it's time for a little movie trivia. The titular character (technically, the 2nd of 2 titular characters, but most people wouldn't notice) is played by an actor, of course. That actor is a fan of a soccer team-the same team of which Pope Francis is also a fan. In one scene, the director wanted an actor to scream as his character was fatally stabbed with a lung wound. The actor REFUSED. He explained that such a stabbing makes it impossible to scream. What happens if you're stabbed like that is that you struggle to try to get a gasp of air just as you're dying. He then acted out the death exactly that way. Some actors are more bad@$$ than the characters they play!

"Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair."

The movie sounds interesting. I'll have to put it on my list.

Sorry, I was asleep at the switch. "Careless Whispers", George Michael. (I was stumped on the first post, though.)

The love interest is possibly Dr Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman, an Aussie.) I keep thinking of "L.A. Confidential", but it's odd if a movie about L.A. had all these Australian influences. So, I've got nothing so far.

That settles that. As for the Martin Luther imitation, I thought that was too interesting not to explain. vpw announced, at the end of one ROA (77), that they were going to go to the local churches, and nail up the list of verses saying Jesus isn't God. (Never mind that in Luther's place and time, nailing up a notice in the assigned spot was an accepted and expected thing to do.) Is that what he did once the microphones were off? No. Here's what he did. He had sign dropped off, supposedly at several churches, but no eyewitness account confirms more than one stop- at his old denomination. "Jesus Christ is not God. Never was, never will be." With it, he dropped off an autographed copy of JCING. I kid you not.

Almost caught up on "Arrow." Caught up on "Flash." Way behind on "Supergirl." Caught up on everything else, I think.

I know that he sounded Trinitarian when he was trying to pretend he was cool with the Ecumenical movement (rather than just trying to siphon members.) BG Leonard doesn't sound like a standard Trinitarian. Bullinger was claimed (in twi) to have such leanings, but both he and Kenyon used Trinitarian phrasings in their books. I am suspicious (as in, guessing) that the E. Stanley Jones Ashram thing in 1944 was an introduction into new and different things vpw hadn't heard before-so MAYBE it started to come up there and then. Then again, it could have been exposure to Glenn Clark (of Camps Farthest Out). Clark introduced a number of new Thought and Christian Science ideas. (Whether he did so accurately or not is an entirely different discussion.) He had lots of strange, new ideas, and people with them. Drop wierwille into that crowd and there's lots of strange, new ideas to draw from, starting with the whole "believing" thing to make things happen. (He also drew from Albert Cliffe there.) Among all that, non-standard ideas about God and Jesus were comnmonplace. Add in Lamsa, and that's yet more different takes on Jesus. vpw pursued these variant theologies, he counted on them, and he plagiarized the heck out of them. This was very profitable for him.

"'Sic gorgiamos allos subjectatos nunc'- 'We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.' Not just pretty words." "The human spirit-it is a hard thing to kill." "Even with a chainsaw." " I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss!" "They say a man who represents himself has a fool for a client. Well, with God as my witness, I am that fool!" "Last night you were unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again!" "He won't eat, he can't sleep, he keeps coughing up blood." "He coughs up blood?" "Well, not like he used to..." "'How all occasions do inform against me and spur my dull revenge. O, from this time forth, my thoughts be bloody or nothing worth. If I must strike you dead, I will.'" "'A hit! A very palpable hit!'" "'O, Proud Death. What feast is toward in thine eternal cell? Sweet Oblivion, open your arms!'"

No.

You didn't, but there's a lot of bald superhero villains.

"'Sic gorgiamos allos subjectatos nunc'- 'We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.' Not just pretty words." "The human spirit-it is a hard thing to kill." "Even with a chainsaw." " I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss!" "They say a man who represents himself has a fool for a client. Well, with God as my witness, I am that fool!"

"Lucky Day" was an Amigo. Was Vincent Antonelli in "My Blue Heaven"?

Kevin Spacey as bald Lex Luthor, Jeff Bridges as bald Obadiah Stane, lots of bald villainous masterminds. (Of course, this may have referred to Roarke or Rockwell, even.) Was this "the Big Lebowski"? I think Bridges, and maybe Spacey, was in that. Maybe.

Mrs Wolf said that MISTER Peel would make sense, but not Mrs Peel. HE was MI6.

"'Sic gorgiamos allos subjectatos nunc'- 'We gladly feast on those who would destroy us.' Those are not just pretty words." "The human spirit-it is a hard thing to kill." "Even with a chainsaw."

Wait-HBO series? Was this "Tales from the Crypt-Bordello of Blood?"

Taking a wild swing here.... "District 7"? (Or whatever number.)

"CLASH of the Titans." I forgot we were still trying to name it-I got sidetracked this evening.

Correct! I could not accept "Herman Munster" because that name was only used for one version. I could accept "the creature" because it was used for a few, and "Frankenstein" likewise, both for "FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER." David Prowse was VERY TALL. That narrows down the possible roles. JLM and BC played Dr F and his monster in a play, with who played who alternating between performances. (If JLM played Dr F, BC played the monster, etc.)

There were voice actors listed-but I think you chose none of them. Jim Cummings is a cartoon voice actor, for example. And if a character is well-known enough, someone will suggest a variation of the opposite gender- a number of Harry Potter fanfics have been written about Harriet Potter, and you're already aware of other roles interpreted so on television. Come on, picture David Prowse in your head. What adjectives spring to mind? Doesn't that narrow the possibilities a lot? In most portrayals, strictly speaking, he does not. In a few, he does. BC and JLM both played him in 2011, in the same play, alternating the role with another (one played one, the other played the other, with who played which alternating for performances.)

No, but it's an interesting coincidence about 2 of those actors portraying SH. They also were among the actors playing someone else. George, you missed a familiar name-one that should tell you something about the character....

That was not a typo. This thread usually has 3 actors or 3 roles listed. There's so many actors for this SINGLE role that I posted them in sets of 3, with more than 1 set per day. You already missed one name in the list which should have told you something important besides that there are so many actors for one role.
