I'm not sure if it will help jog a memory or 2. However, we have a few threads that might help with that. Here's 2 of them, 2 "Eyewitness" threads.
-
Confused Myra Breckinridge with Erin Brokovich. Any chance this is Irene Bedard?
-
I thought of it as "The Incredibles Mr Lim-Pet Sematary", but that's it, all right. I'm shocked at how it sounds like one long movie, or maybe a trilogy.
-
That's it.

I think it's part of the messageboard software- that the Admin can set what level to stop. So, it can allow everything, or stop only a few words, or a LOT of words. I was on a board once where I was referring to imaginary clothing stores like "Retail Slut" and it saved as "Retail *very friendly person*". A different post showed up as "Meanwhile, at stately Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne, and his faithful young ward, thingy Grayson..." On this one, I know one body part gets translated to "foot", one curse just becomes an ellipse, excrement becomes "dang", and so on. That's even true in a URL, and was a problem once when I wanted to leave a link for something about the Peshi++a Text and it broke the link by changing the text to the "Pedangta Text." Most of the time, we just don't notice. Although someone did once post something funny by making a comment and using the word that results rather than the original word. (It's not worth the entire explanation now.) I know we've had horror stories from the ROA's before. Somewhere, I think there is such a single thread, too. And if you reply in succession, quickly, with nobody posting between them, the software will merge the replies.

Ok, we have a new movie triple coming up. It's a stealth triple and is a little sneaky even so. Don Knotts plays a man who wishes to become a fish- and does so! He becomes a superhero and founds a superhero family, eventually retiring and having to come out of retirement later for one last case. Much later, his fish-corpse is buried, but in a graveyard where the animals sometimes come back as zombies! Stephen King shares writing credit on this one, but not on the animated portions, which are 1/2 of this movie. [Yes, 1/2 of the 3 parts.]

Julia Roberts is my guess, yes.

Whistling while you work sounds like one of those spirituals used by slaves toiling in the cotton fields. Or those dwarves mining in the caves. So, I'll go with "Snow White and the 7 Dwarves." Arsenio Hall once said he thought it was a bad idea that now Disney was allowing weddings at Disneyland. Just the idea of 7 short guys walking up to your woman saying "Hi ho, hi ho" sounded like the beginning of a fight.

It was the big single off of "Stunt", and was probably that band's biggest song. (Unless that was "It's All Been Done Before.") It was even used in some car commercial.

"One Week," the Bare-Naked Ladies.

GENTLEMEN.... Do either of you really think this is productive? Do you guys really want to fight it out in an alley or something?

I'm not sure if "Hannie Caulder" was a character in "Mystic Pizza", but the eponymous character in "Myra Breckenridge" should be the woman played by Julia Roberts.

If that's from an article online, please provide the URL as a link. If it's from a print article, please cite your source. We're curious people. And it's polite....

Unfaithful Richard Gere First Knight (I blame these threads for me knowing either of them was in "Unfaithful." Frankly, I was surprised I didn't imagine that.)

That's him. And I didn't even need to post "Danny Ocean." I named a few eponymous roles (the character was named in the title) and a few like "Guys and Dolls" and "Robin and the 7 Hoods". so I thought this wasn't so impossible. Quite a few roles were him playing himself or someone named "Frank" with no last name. (Technically, Cannonball Run 2 had him playing "Frank" with no last name.)
-
I did a doubletake when I saw the name for just that reason. Nathan Detroit is not Doctor Detroit. This is not Dan Akroyd. AFAIK, Nathan Detroit is not a doctor, he's a "professional" gambler.

He might have been referring to Corps student who were raped or killed as a result of hitchhiking, which was required for the Corps. No, he was talking about the deaths on the WOW field?

He's entitled to his opinion, and the damage from twi/vpw is enough to get one angry. That having been said, personally, I would prefer that posts that antagonistic not be posted by people who have the freedom to do so or to refrain from doing so. He's lashing out at his fellow posters and any lurkers who disagree with him, and most of them had nothing to do with why he's angry. Hurting people's feelings has never been THE dividing line between what's acceptable here and what isn't- remember the women who were chased off by men (always men) who accused women who were victimized by vpw? They never allowed vpw to be blamed, only the women, and had no problems calling them liars. Those posters were rarely run off, also. IMHO, they were more hurtful than this general screed against everyone of faith who reads here.

The spoken three were possible to fake! Anyone can pronounce syllables with conviction-that's just basic improv acting! Adding a supposed message from God with conviction-that's slightly better improv acting! Just speaking a supposed message from God with conviction-improv acting at that same level! It wasn't like vpw was even GOOD at faking them. Whenever he supposedly began SIT in public, it sounded like EXACTLY THE SAME SENTENCE most of the time. Then people come along and say "I know he was the real deal because I saw him speak in tongues." Naturally, they know that's what they saw because HE said that's what it looks like when you do it, and they never thought to check if he was mistaken or lying because he supposedly had this fantastic connection to God Almighty. Whether or not one believes it is possible to do them for real nowadays, it's plainly obvious they can be FAKED nowadays. vpw faked them, and didn't even do a good job of it. As for the others, how can you fake instant healing, or healing days of damage in hours? Why did vpw need glasses if he could heal whenever he wanted? Why did he have eye damage if he could heal whenever he wanted? Why did he have liver damage if he could heal whenever he wanted? Why did he die slowly and painfully of cancer if he could heal whenever he wanted? If any of you think the answer is "Because he refused to heal," I freaking feel sorry for you. He certainly would not have chosen the extended pain of enduring cancer. It's rather obvious he could NOT heal whenever he wanted to- because he could have reversed the slow killing of his body by the illnesses he cultivated through poor stewardship of his body, through chronic drink and chronic smoking. Even ONE "miracle" of healing would have reversed it all. And he never WANTED to hear from God, because God disapproves of much of the policies vpw showed he thought he should get away with- raping, drugging, molesting, plagiarizing, gluttony of vices, etc. Even one message of "the alcohol and cigarettes are killing you" would have been enough- if he wanted to hear from God, and if he would heed a warning from God and not cling to his vices. So, vpw couldn't fake the big 6, so he never tried to fool people on those- at least not that often and not that many people at a time. You were lied to. You were promised that all of those were at the core of twi, when, if anything, they were more at the local levels-and always were.
