Frustrated in her attempts to join a roller derby team, a teenager receives new perspective on life when an angel shows what things would have been like without her.

"Can you feel that?" "Who ordered this?" "It's a magical place." Jasper Sitwell, the years have NOT been kind to you. I remember you as a young, blonde man with an advanced vocabulary and hornrim glasses who was nevertheless somewhat athletic. Now you're older, still have the glasses, but you're completely bald and your vocabulary is average. You also appear to be Latino, what's up with that? But I totally approved of you getting tasered. Dr Franklin Hall and student Donny Gill both ended up in custody, Hall with some sort of connection to gravity, and Gill with some sort of connection to cold? Dangerous planet to be a scientist, this Earth....

Heh. "Raging Bull Durham"? If so, nice one.

No. I'm glad it wasn't TOO easy. (I would have gotten it from that.)

So that's where the name Valery Irons comes from. The band "Lit" did a song, "Miserable", and the video featured PA, and said she was playing Valery Irons in the video. I remember confusing Natalie Raitano with Bonnie something, some athlete or whatever, at the time, and trying not to consistently make that mistake.

So, according to twi, twi believers are REQUIRED to give more than 10% of their income, and is SUPPOSED to give anything not part of an immediate need rather than save it- because twi has to be supported/supplied by its people, which is why it goes to its people- and puts the squeeze on them. twi, on the other hand, is NOT required to financially help people, even by giving back a fraction of what the person SHOULD have saved, but gave twi anyway, and will condemn anyone who suggests such a thing. twi'ers, in need, are to turn to God, or sometimes to family outside of twi who were to be spurned unless there was a need- but never to turn to twi with a single material need. twi, as a rule, does not give back for material needs, period. If any of you reading this are still in twi, this is a reminder that twi considers your financial existence as being there to give them money, and you are NOT to invest or save for retirement or other things. "They will work until they die."

Was this "VIPs"? IIRC, Pamela Anderson, Natalie Raitano and another actress starred in a show I never saw 10 seconds of. (And I may have mixed my actress names again.)

Friends we've got trouble! Right here in River city! With a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for "Pool"!

Depends on priorities. If learning is a goal in itself, one will ENJOY learning all their life. If learning is a means to survive, one will make time to learn most or all of their life. If learning was just a means to get the degree to secure a career, then that's as far as the learning will go.

I think the CONCEPT of Superman 4 was a good one. With children afraid of a world destroyed by nuclear war, why WOULDN'T Superman try to prevent it? This concept's been revisited in various forms. One was during "Armageddon 2001", when one possible future showed the Superman of 2001 (10 years in the future) eliminating all nuclear weapons and ordering the nations to stand down.

vpw's conception seemed to be to exploit whoever and whatever he could, construct a veneer that pretended to be Christian and display it whenever anyone checked, and when possible, codify the exploitation into a formal program. "Needs-basis doctrine", "plurality giving", charging people to go wow, charging people above costs to go into the corps, etc. If the tithe is considered exploitative, the idea of giving everything above your immediate need should be considered doubly so. After all, if you've determined you only need NOW 20% of your net pay, and you "abundantly shared" 80%, and an emergency arose beyond your 20%, what would twi say? Would they give some back and offer what assistance they could (even if it's just "sit with a loved one while we wait for them to come out of a coma"), or would they condemn you with a platitude about poor stewardship and refuse to hand back even a penny of what you THOUGHT you didn't need? "There's no need to save for the future or invest- give it to twi and have treasures in heaven."

I lean towards Option 2, either alone or with others. A) We already know, beyond any reasonable doubt, that vpw was a frequent liar, and exaggerated whenever he wasn't lying. B) We already know, as documented by twi, that Harry's business practices were less-than-perfectly-ethical. IIRC, he was the one that advised vpw to "buy" the furniture for the pfal set, use it, then immediately return it for a full refund, saying it didn't suit him. That's as unethical as the later twi standard of the 90s/00s- buy a big TV for a class return it immediately after a class Honestly, if the man's business with FURNITURE was as successful as he claimed, he could easily have gotten good furniture TO KEEP for the filming of the pfal class, either through his own work, or through satisfied business contacts who would give him a wholesale discount and so on.

If it wasn't the Quest for Peace, then it HAD to be SUPERMAN 3.

Preminger replaces Sanders, Wallach replaced Preminger. The difference between Wallach and Preminger was obvious, as was Gorshin to Astin and Newmar to Kitt. Even as a small child, that bothered me. No reference it was "a new Riddler" or anything, a successor or anything.
-
If you're going to bring a different actor in when a character returns, at least try to fool someone and make them look a LITTLE alike. In what world does Eli Wallach look like Otto Preminger, or either look like George Sanders?

At some point, I'm confident I've heard Barker use the line. After I posted, I realized I probably had it reversed and it was the OLD Price is Right.

Taking a wild shot here..... "How Green Was My Valley of the Dolls"??
-
Any chance this is the new "Price is Right"?

I'm checking in, but I have no idea other than "movie I haven't seen." That's a very popular movie, BTW.

I noticed no direct quote that someone said "three months is ínordinate'". That's probably because nobody said it. waysider made a different point when he used the word "inordinate" and refuted your previous assertion. Hm. Could this be another change of subject meant to act as a smokescreen? What's it trying to draw attention from? Shouldn't be too hard to find on a short thread... That's one point....
