  1. "And you people, you're all astronauts on . . . some kind of star trek?"
  2. "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you." "So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you happy painting, and God bless, my friend." This is the PBS show that featured "happy little trees." (My last try-I added the network.)
  3. Can I know the rest without buying the rights?
  4. "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you." "So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you happy painting, and God bless, my friend." This is the show that featured "happy little trees."
  5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indy was giving opening remarks to some students.
  6. "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic [wet-on-wet] technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you." "So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you happy painting, and God bless, my friend."
  7. I think I've got it now. "Cool World War Z"? Oh, and congratulations. :)
  8. Adam Sandler Click Christopher Walken
  9. More lines don't necessarily fit the category, but ok. "Well gonna write a little letter,gonna mail it to my local D.J. It's a rocking little record I want my jockey to play." "I got the rockin' pneumonia,I need a shot of rhythm and blues. I think I'm rollin' arthritis sittin' down by the rhythm review." "We're rockin' in two by two." I'll be out of touch for a few days. If you're sure you have it, answer then move on.
  10. An offer implies the capability to extend a lifespan indefinitely. The most common cinematic solution- vampirism. "Interview with the Vampire?"
  11. [geek joke] Is that what caused "Emerald Twilight?"[/geek joke]
  12. Thanks. I was completely lost, since I've never seen "Blue's Clues" (for more than a few seconds.)
  13. Ok, the show had to be from the last 2 decades, because they can't use footage that hasn't been shot yet. "JAG"?
  14. Nearly every time twi based a doctrine on a single verse, it was ERROR and based on a MISunderstanding of what it said. Romans 13:8a (KJV) 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: Not even the whole verse, supposedly all the justification of the no-debt policy was there. Romans 13:7-8 (KJV) 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 referred to giving people what they were due- whether that was respect, honor, tribute, etc. The Romans were told to give them that and not owe it to them. Romans 13:7-8 (NIV) 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. 8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. This is pretty straightforward. For a supposed Biblical research ministry to flub this on such a huge scale when reading the preceding verse made it clear is proof that twi is-and was-lousy at Biblical research and teaching. And yes, first this was mandated to the Corps as a control measure which ensured the Corps didn't settle down roots anywhere, but instead let twi dictate where they would live FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. (Quite a surprise for people who were never told, before entering the Corps, that twi would pass orders to them for the rest of their life, which they would be required to fulfill at their expense.) Later, as always, this trickled down to the rank-and-file, and twi was supposed to have entrance into the budgets and finances of their members/"followers." All of this came from lcm, who would just rattle off whatever fool notion went through his head, and announce it was revelation from God no matter HOW stupid it was. Did lcm know anything about budgets and finances? This was a man who went from his parents' home directly to university, then directly from university to twi, where he had lived until he was quietly relocated. (They're STILL paying for his housing and expenses.) He NEVER had to pay rent, NEVER had to worry about putting food on the table, and only eventually had a job which probably was more for appearance's sake than not. (He could NOT support himself completely on the "personal trainer" job. The UPS thing, he probably COULD if he was willing to live simply- but twi's still paying the bills and owns the building where he lives. This was the man who made the decisions affecting the finances of all the members- demanding they give up houses with manageable mortgage payments for apartments or houses with, often, higher monthly rents than the mortgage payments. It's easier to understand how twi made such damaging pronouncements once we see how they got to coming up with them.
  15. Twi'ers NEVER look around and see the bait-and-switch. pfal was based on Session 1 and the Blue Book, which begins with the insistence about MATERIAL PROSPERITY- exceeding that of the non-Christians. How's that working out for the twi'ers? The handful at the top are prospering AT THE EXPENSE OF everyone else and the tidy nest egg of twi investments. Everyone else is making do with LESS and CALLING IT "PROSPERITY." When the excuses are that God never promised riches, that's true- but wierwille did, twi did, pfal did. That's classic Session 1. So, to say otherwise is to admit wierwille/twi/pfal say the opposite of what the Bible says. Oh, but you can see "prospering" -the people at the top are prospering. They, obviously, are doing it AT THE EXPENSE of those told to get by with less. Why don't twi'ers notice something so obvious, the disconnect? FEAR. Twi'ers are afraid. They bought into the nonsense that twi is the sole group with the truth. They bought into the nonsense that wierwille was some godly person rather than a detailed FRAUD. They bought into the claim-which is rather OBVIOUSLY false- that vpw heard from God and had a special connection with God. So, they know, on some level, that it's all a FAILURE. But they huddle around it, afraid that outside twi it is all even WORSE failures. That's nonsense, but they bought into it, and they're used to that particular bit of nonsense, so it's what they're accustomed to. They prefer the FAMILIAR ERROR to a free life where they can actually hear from God and interact with loving Christians who aren't preparing reports about their loyalty.
  16. Ok, this was the B-52's "Rock Lobster." "I got the rockin' pneumonia,I need a shot of rhythm and blues. I think I'm rollin' arthritis sittin' down by the rhythm review."
  17. Recognized "Groundhog Day" before the clues.
  18. Ok, George was correct- this was "Young Frankenstein." Here's what the clues meant..... Many of the props used in this movie were used in a movie decades earlier-with good reason. Ken Strickfaden finally got a well-deserved credit for props he'd made long ago. Ken Strickfaden did the props for the lab in the original Frankenstein movie. He never got credit for them in the credits of the original. At the beginning of the spoof, he gets a credit- "props" for his props, finally. If not for an actor being too drunk to play his assigned role in a different movie (and being replaced), this movie might never have been made. The actor assigned to play Jim/the Waco Kid in "Blazing Saddles" played a convincing drunk. That was partly because he was a drunk, and was too messed-up to perform his role. A last-minute replacement was found-Gene Wilder. Gene pitched his idea for "Young Frankenstein" while filming "Blazing Saddles." Among the many well-remembered moments are a number of ad-libs by the actors. Peter Boyle came up with the mangled "Putting on the Ritz!" during the musical number, because nobody could come up with what he should say. "I was gonna make espresso!" When Frederick was upset throwing darts and missed the wall, Mel Brooks ad-libbed the angry cat sound. The "Woof"s were ad-libbed, in reference to The Creature's enormous "personality." (One when Inga reacts to hearing Victor's description and Frederick's exposition. Frederick: "That goes without saying." Inga:"Woof." I-gor:*drawing* "He's gonna be very popular." The other time was when Victor's fiancee says it to The Creature.) Frau Blucher:"Would ze master care for a brandy before retiring?....Some warm milk, perhaps?...Ovaltine!" A moment in this movie, remembered by EVERYBODY, inspired a hit rock song. Aerosmith went to see this movie in the theaters. When they came out, they wrote "Walk This Way." The dessert in one scene is better-known as Black Forest Cherry Cake. When the monster finally awakens, they hear his incoherent moans. The scene opens as they're finishing dinner and eating dessert. I-gor: "What is this?" Dr: "Swartzwalder kirschtorte." *moaning sound like an 'mmmm' * Dr: "Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself..." The soundtrack credits include "the Battle Hymn of the Republic" "Ave Maria" by Schubert, and "the Bridal Suite" from Lohengrin, but it also includes 3 songs that are MUCH more connected with the movie-one of which was sung to musical accompaniment, one was not, and one was partially accompanied. Victor's fiancee hums and scats "the Battle Hymn of the Republic", IIRC, twice, both in connection with "The Creature." (I really think Frederick would have assigned him/it a name before his public debut.) I'm a bit fuzzy on "Ave Maria" but I'll look for it this month when I sit down to it again. "The Bridal Suite" was a capella at the very end by Madeline Kahn. The 3 songs MUCH more connected with the movie... -"Putting On the Ritz" with full accompaniment -"I Ain't Got Nobody(And Nobody Cares For Me")-sung a capella by I-Gor when the secret lab's heads are found. -"Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life"-sung a capella but with I-Gor playing the horn as the movie closes One line makes a passing reference to FIVE previous movies. After Frederick performs the procedure to re-animate The Creature, there's a town meeting. (The one that introduces Inspector Kemp.) A town elder mentions that the allegations are MORE troubling the elders, who lived through this 5 times before. Mel Brooks confirmed that was a reference to the 5 Universal Frankenstein movies. One scene ended with a rapid cut-away because the last line was ad-libbed by one note-worthy actor in the scene, and the crew erupted into laughter. The end of the scene with the blind hermit, as The Creature flees, burned... Gene Hackman:"I was gonna make Espresso!" One actor's ad-libbing with his costume led to additional dialogue incorporated into the movie. Marty Feldman alternated the side the hump was on from scene-to-scene until they caught him doing it, and it was so funny they incorporated that into the script. Frederick catches it once. "Wasn't that...? *gestures* Never mind." Premiere Magazine named the titular character role as 9th in their list of 100th Greatest Performances of all Time. Dr Frederick Frankenstein. I wonder what Irving Berlin thinks of one of his songs being considered as a well-remembered part of this movie. "Putting On The Ritz."
  19. George was correct. That, sir, is why I left spaces in the post. Now it will be easier to add explanations. :)

  22. "What's Happening!" and "What's Happening Now!" Eric Monte wrote "Cooley High", but there was no interest in that as a drama. So, he then wrote the comedy with some of the same concepts and a different city. As a syndicated property, it actually did very well in daytime slots for a number of years. Ernest Thomas played Roger Thomas, Fred Berry played Freddy "Rerun" Stubbs, Heywood Nelson played Dwayne Nelson, Mabel King played Mabel Thomas, Shirley Hemphill played Shirley Wilson. Danielle Spencer played Dee Thomas. (In fairness, we don't know if "Dee" was a nickname for "Danielle", which would mean she wasn't the exception.) Fred Berry-twice- demanded more money from the series, once from each series. The first time, Ernest Thomas joined him, and we ended up with a single episode walkout, where Dwayne took center stage. When they persisted later, the producers ended the show. The second time, Berry just walked out alone when he was rebuffed. For those who needed another clue, that narrowed down the show suspects. BET will only run shows with a predominantly black cast.
  23. I don't know how. You are correct, however.
