This famous '70s movie included a quote of another famous '70s movie's even more famous quote. (The quote is remembered more than the movie it came from, I believe.) Funny how an unscripted line can become the best-remembered line of a movie, and even show up in other movies filmed later-complete with the name of the actor who said it. This film included the film premiere of Fran Drescher. In the real city of Rio de Janeiro, the cariocas have adapted the last name of the main character of this movie as a slang word meaning "cool." Filming of this movie ran afoul of "some local Italian businessmen in a consortium" *wink wink* and some Hasidic Jews, at different points of the filming. The Mad Magazine spoof of this movie showed the main character carrying a can of "Stigwood Paint." The soundtrack to this movie was a big success commercially.

This is garbage, stupid girl. Ow! OW! *covers his head* I was giving the TITLE and the ARTIST! The band is "GARBAGE", and their first big hit was "STUPID GIRL"! No hit!

Haven't seen "No Way Out." I wish you had used Bridges instead.

Almost nobody watched the Tortellis. I think some of us would have tuned in for Norm and Cliff at least for a little just because we liked Norm and Cliff.

Given the zeitgeist of twi when vpw was alive, my first guess (not knowing the context) would be that he was INSINUATING (hinting without actually saying) that The Lord Jesus Christ was going to return shortly. It certainly was believed TLJC would return while vpw was alive, at least until vpw died. (twi was hardly alone in this- crackpot religious fringes tend to add that sort of thing. If their leader isn't the Messiah, then the Messiah will show up and shake his hand or something.)

I think RG was saying your answer was close enough and handed over the round to you....

Close enough- Naked Gun 2 1/2: the Smell of Fear.

A movie with a large cast but centered on nine of them. After 18 months of shooting, there's no surprise the actors got matching tattoos (in different places.) It's "the bunch of guys of the ring." Or "Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring." For the bored, check this out.... http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=612 The story of a bunch of roleplayers playing through the adventure story of "Lord of the Rings" (without it having been a book) as an AD&D adventure rather than books that inspired AD&D adventures. http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=729 "Happy Halloween from the Bunch of Guys of the Ring." BTW, Rhys-Davies was the tallest actor in the Fellowship. He played the dwarf, Gimli. Gimli should be shorter than the humans (Boromir, Aragorn/Strider) and shorter than the elf (Legolas) but heavier since he's bulky and elves are wiry, but taller than all 4 hobbits. (Any DM from AD&D, any version, could tell you that the PC races go in height as follows: halfling/hobbit tied with gnome, dwarf, elf, half-elf, half-orc, human- with optional half-ogre taller than human. Some people consider gnomes to be a bit taller than halflings, which still puts halflings/hobbits as the shortest.) ======================== Oh, and Bob Anderson (the legendary sword-master of Hollywood) complimented Viggo Mortensen's great talent handling a sword. Too bad we'd never see Danny Kaye in his prime faced off against Viggo Mortensen in his prime in a movie anyplace.

"Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago." "Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis." "I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati." "No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly." "He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin." "Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South." "North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia." "You sure know your boxing." "All I know is never bet on the white guy." "Congratulations, Ed! I hear Edna's pregnant again." "Yeah, and when I find the guy that did it..." " I'm single! I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a boy scout leader! ...........I mean, at the time, I was dating a lot." "Ladies and gentlemen, we would now like to draw the first Door Prize of the evening - an all-expenses-paid trip to the Gilligan Islands!" "What can you tell us about the man you saw last night?" "He's Caucasian." "Caucasian?" "Yeah, you know, a white guy. A moustache. About six-foot-three." "Awfully big moustache." "Que sera sera... You do speak French, don't you?" "Unfortunately no, but I do kiss that way." "Your coat, sir?" "Yes, it is. And I have a receipt to prove it." "Do you gamble?" "Every time I order out."

That's it. "Oh God, You Devil" was the third "Oh, God" movie, and went in an interesting direction. I thought it was pretty profound. Then again, I haven't sat down to see the first one yet. It sounds more my speed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087835/?ref_=nv_sr_2 "Devil" was a small horror movie. It's gotten more than a little TV airplay on cable, which is how I stumbled across it. For a horror movie, I thought it was pretty interesting. It certainly was a nice break from horror movies that rely on the gross-out or splatter to be memorable. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1314655/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 You've all heard of "The Devil's Advocate." It's another movie where Keanu plays a clueless protagonist against a good actor playing a complex villain. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118971/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 After writing it out, I thought that having the 2 guys from movies 1 and 3 end up in the elevator in "Devil" would have elevated the movie considerably. (At least people like them. Movie would have taken one HECK of a plot-twist.)

When I do my rare triples, it generally is with one movie having a one-word title, and it being the link between the others. As Raf said, I could have gone from movie 1 to movie 3 without mentioning movie 2. With that in mind, if you've gotten 1 and 3, what would this one be called?

Thought I might have been making that one a bit too easy. But this is a well-known comedy, and I'm sure you've seen it more than once.

"Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago." "Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis." "I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati." "No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly." "He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin." "Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South." "North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia." "You sure know your boxing." "All I know is never bet on the white guy." "Congratulations, Ed! I hear Edna's pregnant again." "Yeah, and when I find the guy that did it..." " I'm single! I love being single!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we would now like to draw the first Door Prize of the evening - an all-expenses-paid trip to the Gilligan Islands!"

Here's another TRIPLE. A sruggling musician sells his soul for stardom to the infernal 'Harry Tophet'- (George Burns) then later ends up trying to petition THE Higher Authority (George Burns) to intervene and re-negotiate on his behalf. He ends up trapped in an elevator with a handful of sinners who all begin to die mysteriously- is 'Harry Tophet' secretly among the passengers? He's probably not the young attorney who's been facing a similar deal with his new boss and has ended up in the same elevator.... It stars GEORGE BURNS,Ron Silver, AL PACINO, Keanu Reeves and a bunch of people you've probably never heard of. (Chris Messina, Bokeem Woodbine, Matt Craven, Joshua Peace, Zoie Palmer, Logan Marshall-Green, Geoffrey Arend, Jenny O'Hara..)

My "rule of thumb" is to try to update once a day, or twice at most. If I update faster, I feel like I'm penalizing posters who don't stay glued to the site. If I update slower, I feel like I'm stalling a thread. Generally. That's not a rule, it's really a convention at most. For now I'm thinking George is right.

You asked what I thought. "Curious to know what others think." Excuse the heck out of me if you don't like what I think. If you wanted me to confine my response exclusively to the point, you might have phrased your request in a less open-ended fashion. I'm glad you noticed that when I challenged what Ehrman said, I hit the mark. I'm sure some people might have dismissed what I said for their own reasons, but I really think I had a legitimate point and would have said so whether or not I said it or even agreed with it.

I must be even worse at movies than I thought. I can't recognize this from one line, even twice... Are you sure this movie is recognized for those lines?

"Peter Pan"???????

24 hours have passed. Can we get a second clue?

What do I think? First of all, I think I wouldn't take Bart Ehrlich too seriously unless I was looking for excuses to give up being a Christian. The man's view about the resurrection is that it didn't happen and was fictional, and that's just to start with. I consider people far too quick to consider a matter to ONLY reflect their point of view and close a matter before actually reviewing things. In his case, far too quick to conclude something is a problem with the text, and never a problem in his understanding of what's going on. Second of all, I think the view towards what's happening isn't taking into account what happens. Human nature has not changed in 2000 years. People hear what they want to hear and ignore or alter the rest. ("Abraham looked to my day and saw it." "How dare you say you saw Abraham?") That is now, and that was then as well. Nicodemus didn't quibble over a word, he quibbled over a concept- that of a man his age, a grown man, being born. I looked this over in English, Greek, and Aramaic, and the same point existed no matter where I looked. New King James Version John 3:3-4 "3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” NIV John 3:3-4 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” NASB John 3:3-4 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Nicodemus, in each case, objected PRIMARILY to "a man being born when he is old." When discussing how that supposedly would work, he constructed (the Straw Man Fallacy is not a recent invention) a ridiculous scenario so he could object to it. For a man to be born when he is old, a man would have to re-enter his mother's womb to be born a second time. How silly. So, Nicodemus can blithely dismiss Jesus' saying since it's obviously nonsense, and he can go home and forget the whole thing. ================================== According to Nicodemus' thinking, what was the word (phrase?) Jesus used with "born" there? Was it "again", "from above", or something else? Nicodemus DIDN'T LISTEN. Nicodemus heard "man born" and flipped out on that. Whatever else Jesus said was irrelevant. I'll demonstrate. I'll swap in a placeholder, nonsense word and Nicodemus' objection sounds just as sensible and just as silly. John 3:3-4 KJV (with nonsense word) 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born splunge, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? In that exchange, the meaning of the word "splunge" is irrelevant to Nicodemus' concerns, because he's objecting to a man being born. The same would apply with the gender-neutral examples of "one" in the versions above, but in 2014 it lacks the same impact, so I used the KJV in an example because the "man" is closer to what Nicodemus was hearing and thinking. (If you really need me to, I can do the same with the other versions, but you can do it yourself in your head easily enough.)

No.

There's 3 movies. Think a minute. Are you sure you don't even have the THIRD movie? Mrs Wolf glanced over and got the third movie before any actors was mentioned. (She hasn't seen the first 2 from the round, and she hasn't even heard of the first one from the round-but you have, at some point.)

That was a shock, considering I would have thought he was one of the more butch actors of the bunch of guys, and not the sole wuss. Judging from Bob Anderson's comments, I found myself sorry I'd never get to see a movie with Danny Kaye matching swords with a particular action lead.
