"Dream On"
That's it.

Actually, NEITHER. But you had the right idea. Remember who said it and you'll have the correct movie. (You were closer with TDKR than TDK for a specific reason.)

So, we're scratching this one and doing the other one.

OK, but nobody got it then, IIRC. (No, I didn't mean to reuse it so soon....)

My favorite moment in that movie was when Ben Richards was trying to disguise himself as a tourist heading for Hawaii, complete with matching Hawaiian shirt. He was using some woman to further his disguise. She told him to let her go, because she gets all kinds of sick- airsick, carsick- and she was going to end up throwing up on him in the plane. "Go ahead- it won't show on THIS shirt."
Ok, next round, let's see....

Was just thinking about "Christmas Snow" last week. Her father named her "Christmas" because she was born on December 25th. He used to say that it was a good thing she wasn't born on Father's Day, because then he would have ended up introducing her to people by saying "Meet my daughter, Father."
So, this has to be SUZANNE SOMERS.
Sheriff Hildy Grainger must be the eponymous sheriff in "She's the Sheriff."

"Same Old Song and Dance"????

Taking a guess here.... "Dream On"?????

(Sees his photo.) I recognize him from one movie. This should be interesting.
Death Race David Carradine Kill Bill Volume 2 (or Volume 1)
(Ian McShane played "Coach" for Frankenstein's pit crew. David Carradine appeared at the beginning of the movie as the voice of "Frankenstein" (appropriate if you've seen the previous movie.) And, of course, he also played Bill in "Kill Bill", both volumes. I'm leaving that flexible for the next player.

Wait... wasn't that "Blythe Danner" that played John Adams' wife in "1776"???

It's not Arnold in a sequel. It's Arnold in a stand-alone called "THE RUNNING MAN." It's an action movie that shouldn't be taken seriously. I like it. And George's friend is in it.

That's actually the clue that gave it away. Of course, then, everything else fell into place.
New one soon.

If it hadn't, I would have been reduced to posting clues like "the title characters were brothers who had a rhythm-and-blues band."

Did you really Google BG Leonard's name, come up blank for CTC of Texas (his ministry), then show up here, and cross-post the same question four times in a row on 4 different threads, including one you started just to ask the question? (BTW, that one thread would have been sufficient to get an answer.)
The cross-posting like that is considered spamming/rude.
Now you have the name of the group, and now you have a link to their website.

TWI made an attempt to inject its influence into a political campaign in Maine in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It didn't go well.
vpw always inflated the importance of any public figure- in order to claim twi was significant because it contained vip's. So, ONE NFL player and vpw went crazy. One COACH for tennis and even lcm dropped her name. So, small wonder vpw wanted in when someone ostensibly IN twi was running for public office. No, it did not go well for or with H@yes G@h@g@n of Maine.

Actually, Allan, yours was the most "political" of posts on this thread so far. It's a discussion of how politics was used in twi. Nobody has had to post any politics, just what happened in twi, and how vpw pushed certain agendas. Other than a single sentence in the first thread, this thread has been " about" politics without containing politics.
(BTW, chockfull, my experience has been the opposite of Allan's, which is not terribly surprising because we don't live in the same country. Around here, a more-than-two-parties system increases the chance the public's actually represented, and fringe groups don't hijack a major party.)

BTW, when I put his name in quotes in the search bar of DuckDuckGo, his ministry came up in the first page of results.
-
I was going to post it, but Nathan Jr beat me to it.
" Did you try contacting his ministry directly?
"
BTW, there's no need to immediately cross-post the same question on multiple threads. One thread would have been enough.

cast includes- Paul Reubens Chaka Khan Kathleen Freeman Henry Gibson
Paul Reubens (PeeWee Herman) was a waiter in Mister Fabulous' restaurant. Chaka Khan was in the choir. Kathleen Freeman played "The Penguin." Henry Gibson ran the Illinois Nazis.
This famous movie had some great music- but it was NOT marketed as a musical, it's an action-comedy.
This movie included some under-utilized, under-appreciated performers who were available for work. It was very smart of them to accept their offered roles, as their careers, as a whole, were jump-started when this movie hit the theaters, introducing them to a new generation of fans.
A lot of talented blues performers were not really in demand until this movie aired, gaining them more fans.
Not many films have credits that leave out who played principal cast, but this was one of them. It was done on purpose, but didn't really change anything, since the audience knew who the 2 cast members were. Even stranger, another principal role didn't seem to have a name (although the role's actress is easy to recognize.) A number of the cast seemed to play themselves, while others definitely did not.
The credits include "Jake" and "Elwood", but not Dan or John. Carrie Fisher's character seems to have had no name, or at least none mentioned. The names of the band members match the names of the musicians playing them. Among the people who didn't play themselves was Ray, who was VERY accurate with a pistol. (And hung up the Blues Brothers flyer upside down in a different scene.)
I hope you get this soon. If not, I'll "See You Next Wednesday".
"See You Next Wednesday" is John Landis' imaginary movie. It seems to be every genre of movie. In the Blues Brothers movie, it's advertised on the sign that the patrol car hides behind. (That's the patrol car that tries to chase Jake and Elwood and crashes into the Good Old Boys' RV.)
This movie had a sequel, but most people prefer to ignore that, as it wasn't as good as the first movie despite having an obviously larger budget. (The bluegrass scene alone had a lot of special effects.) The first movie inspired a group- and they were in the sequel playing fans who were now performers. I wonder how John Popper felt about his movie debut being in a flop.
"Blues Brothers 2000" just seemed unnecessary to me. It had a larger budget and lots of special effects, like Cab's son floating and transforming, and the "Ghost Riders in the Sky" scene with the storm and the ghost riders at the country music festival where the "bluegrass brothers" played. The first movie inspired John Popper and his brother, who eventually formed the band "Blues Traveler", (mixing the names of the Blues Brothers and Gozer the Traveler.) Popper, in essence, played himself, meeting Elwood and offering to play for him (while Elwood took off after accepting.)
I read a book for RPGs that was set in Chicago. It included a list of books and movies for inspiration and setting the background. It included this movie, with a note that there can be no better view of Mayor Daley Plaza.
Anyone watching the end of the movie got a fantastic view of the plaza.
WONDERING
in Matters of Faith
Posted
1. A lot of posters who are still Christians are still gun-shy about getting on any bandwagon after what happened in twi. There's a lot of suspicion when a new idea shows up. (Some of this would have been useful when "Momentus" and "personal prophecy" were thrown at people who were supposed to swallow them and not object or even question either.)
2. Strictly speaking, I would not say God and/or Jesus Christ have been excluded from this messageboard. I don't think they're particularly welcome at present, but that doesn't mean threads on either will actually be deleted or locked.
However, they might be MOVED. "Open" is for discussions that don't fit ANY other category. "Matters of Faith" has sections that fit this thread, and I think it belongs in "Doctrinal" more than anywhere else.
