Yeah, both were from "Blazing Saddles." I recognized Cleavon Little pretty fast. (Reminded me I've seen him in 2 other movies, too.)

Their name is probably remembered by heavy drinkers or people who thought one or another of their later songs were better, IMHO.

It would be, if anyone was convinced "VP is the devil." Inventing a nonexistent position to make your own position look better is a tired old gambit, and it keeps failing. Why bother? Ah, there we have it. John's PROUD of using "black and white thinking." His position is supposedly from Scripture. (White.) When his position is questioned (Black), anything that calls it into question is categorically declared either "black" or "wisdom of this world." John's avoiding any possible deepening of his faith through a richer understanding of Scripture than rote memorization of twi dogma because of his FEAR that the dogma will be undermined and he will risk questioning it. Thus the need to lash out, slap silly labels on others, slap silly labels on logical discussion, and generally distract from intelligent discussions at hand. John will never define what he means by "wisdom of the world" any more than our old poster the Meek Master ever defined HIS critical terms. They HAVE to keep an impossible target to hit, they HAVE to make their doctrine impossible to define, because that way they can keep changing what they say and claim others never understood them and are in error. John's obviously trying to drag this thread off topic because he feels threatened by it. The position of the original poster threatens his beliefs, and the discussion showed that there is a wealth of evidence that his beliefs are in error. Perhaps there might be something to refute them-but John's not trying to refute anything-he's trying to conceal it. That's not the position of someone who understands things or has something to offer- that's the position of someone who feels they have something to lose from open discussion and wants to fossilize their beliefs in place for life.

It would sound more like you actually cared and were interested in the subject- rather than just preserving your previous opinions without even exploring how they got there- if you didn't just blow off questions and change the subject. If your beliefs are worth keeping, than a thorough exploration of them will DEEPEN YOUR FAITH. Only a shallow, baseless faith need be "defended" by illogical tactics and troll-like behavior. I've found it fascinating to see both the points people bring to the discussion and the manner in which they bring them. I've disagreed with people but respected their positions after seeing them present them- depending on what they said and how they said it. I've even suggested discussions were worth a try on the off-chance someone would bring something new to the table. (They didn't, but I at least was willing to give them a chance.) "I just think that's a lame question". Yeah, well every question would be responded to SOMEWHERE by SOMEONE that way, regardless of the question. However, sometimes even the most trivial-sounding questions have resulted in insights not anticipated when the threads began. Me, I had a thread about whether Samson and Jesus were molested (like was taught in twi) and exploring the subjects was fascinating.

Mrs Wolf, said, in effect: House's personality (grouchy and antisocial) on Holmes. The nice friend who helps him is Dr Wilson. (Saw that actor in "Dead Poets Society.") House's apartment# is "221." When he tries to concentrate, he uses a musical instrument to focus. (Holmes used the violin, House used the piano.) He used a drug to escape when not working on problems (House used Vicodin, Holmes had his 7% solution.) That's off the top of her head. I will add that Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to write about Holmes after seeing a doctor in action- a doctor who could tell all sorts of details about patients brought before him just from a few seconds of observation.

That's the correct answer for this round. I'll ask Mrs Wolf to explain when she can, since she can answer this better than I can-she watched the show and likes both House and Holmes. (House? Homes?)

That's it. As a comedy-horror movie, Shaun of the Dead succeeds in at least being watchable and has some good moments. It's worth watching once. Dead Poet's Society is a favorite movie of mine. As a "dramedy", it is a drama with some comedic moments. Robin Williams has little screen time- as suits his supporting character well- Keating is there to drive the story, not star in the film. (Naturally, someone I knew refuses to see the movie to this day because they're certain they already know what to expect of Robin Williams in a role. Naturally, they're wrong.)

It is. Pearl Jam's biggest hit. Their second biggest hit was probably "Jeremy", which was the preceding song. Your turn.

This show lasted for several seasons. It was inspired, in part, by Sherlock Holmes. It is NOT an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in any way. (We mentioned 2 modern adaptations before- "Elementary" and "Sherlock." This is neither of those.)

I was, but I was trying to let someone else get a turn. This was "I AM THE WALRUS" by the Fab Four (the Beatles.) Now please go to the other song thread and bail me out.

A man has lost his focus and just works as a clerk in an appliance store. As people turn into zombies all over Britain, he begins to focus as he tries to save his friends. In flashbacks, we see his original inspirations in private school, where an English teacher inspired him and his friends to seize the day and suck out all the marrow of life. Stars Simon Pegg and the supporting cast includes Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke.

No, this is all movie, and is, in parts here and there, a bit of a comedy. (On both parts.)

Now I'm thinking I just saw some of those lines in a commercial. *looks it up* Ok, I would never have gotten it. I was going to guess "Eraser."

I'm trying to string together a coherent story description. I can TRY to reverse it, but it sounds more awkward that way. A man has lost his focus and just works as a clerk in an appliance store. As people turn into zombies all over Britain, he begins to focus as he tries to save his friends. In flashbacks, we see his original inspirations in private school, where an English teacher inspired him and his friends to suck out all the marrow of life.

"Son," she said, "Have I got a little story for you. What you thought was your Daddy was nothin' but a... While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen, Your real Daddy was dyin'. Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked." Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room. She said, "I'm ready for you". I can't remember anything to this very day 'cept the look, the look. Oh, you know where. Now I can't see, I just stare. The ellipsis is in the song, I didn't drop a word.

Jim Carrey Once Bitten Cleavon Little

Quotes 1,2 and 4 are bugging me. I've heard them in the last 2 years. Apparently, I didn't see them in the theater, but at home on one format or another.

Ok, no bites on that one. I'll switch songs. Same artist. "Son," she said, "Have I got a little story for you. What you thought was your Daddy was nothin' but a... While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen, Your real Daddy was dyin'. Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked." The ellipsis is in the song, I didn't drop a word.

Ok, let's see...... A boy is inspired at a private school by his English teacher, but later loses focus in life and just works as a clerk in an appliance store. He finally begins to focus his life when people begin to turn into zombies all over Britain, and he tries to save his friend.

Are they height-challenged?

Is Jason Statham in this one? I KNOW I've seen this in the last 3 years.

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Winter for Poland and France."

"At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops With him on top. Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V. And the dead lay in pools of maroon below. Daddy didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care" "Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy. Seemed a harmless little f***. Ooo, but we unleashed a lion" "How could I forget? And he hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurtin', ooo, dropped wide open." This one's from 1992. Anyone listen to that Seattle stuff ever?

That explains why it sounded familiar. The "medieval" thing is PULP FICTION, isn't it?
