  1. Right gender, wrong artist. Think MORE marketing. She's still making money on albums and tours. And, occasionally, MOVIES.
  2. I'd certainly be more interested in reading that than watching 49 minutes of video.
  3. This one's from 1984. "Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me. I think they're okay. If they don't give me proper credit I just walk away. They can beg and they can plead But they can't see the light, that's right. 'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right." "Some boys romance, some boys slow dance That's all right with me. If they can't raise my interest then I have to let them be. Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play, no way, no way. Only boys that save their pennies Make my rainy day." "Boys may come and boys may go And that's all right, you see. Experience has made me rich And now they're after me." Think "artist with passable talent and excellent marketing skills".
  4. If you watched music videos in the 80s, I guarantee you saw this one in heavy rotation at points.
  5. Correct. Fillon's character dressed as "a space cowboy" for Halloween and it was Mal Reynolds' clothes. Fillon supposedly added the "two by two" thing when putting the gloves on. Of course, he's not the only actor who's moved on since then from the Firefly cast. Summer Glau and Morena Beccarin have/had TV shows, too. I think Jewel Staithe did, too.
  6. "Look at them yoyos. That's the way you do it. You play the guitar on the MTV."
  7. The closest thing I ever saw to actual training in counseling was to recommend Jay Adams' book, "Competent to Counsel." It seemed to recommend against formal training in counseling, and its approach was called "nouthetic". According to the book, it meant confronting people having incidents and getting them to stop faking it. I'm sure that would be of use with SOME people, but with others, that would be horribly bad. All those with chemical imbalances don't need to be confronted, they need a miraculous healing or chemicals to balance coupled with some actual counseling. Hmm...that must be where vpw got his idea, when that guy in the middle of a meeting became incoherent and so on. vpw CONFRONTED HIM on it- when it was obviously not INTENDED but something BIOLOGICAL to anyone with an ounce of skill in Biology, medicine, or Psychology- and sent the guy home. A WEEK later, he arrived home. We never heard of the ordeal he went through, suffering from an obvious, acute incident of an undiagnosed psychiatric problem. Was it a critical dietary deficiency? Chemical imbalance in the brain? A stroke? Could he have dropped dead on the bus? Why did it take a whole week of bus to bus before he got home? vpw never gave him a second thought, either- he told lcm to stop worrying. vpw set the standard for not caring, for incompetent preparation and for confrontational "counseling."

  9. Next one. This show keeps making references to Firefly. One character spoke Chinese, then claimed he doesn't know it-but saw it on a TV show. Someone dressed up as a "space cowboy" for Halloween. Someone put on blue gloves, then stretched them by stretching the first 2 fingers on each hand. ("Two by two, hands of blue.") There's a perfectly good reason the writers (and an actor) keep sneaking in the references, too.....
  10. Kirstie Alley Star Trek II-the Wrath of Khan Ricardo Montalban
  11. You have to read the first post to make sense of any round, Human. It's a mix of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and "the Dark Knight." So, "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Knight."
  12. This one's from 1984. "They can beg and they can plead But they can't see the light, that's right. 'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right" "Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play, no way, no way. Only boys that save their pennies Make my rainy day."
  13. Depends. Is it based on a novel by a man named Lear?
  14. Al Pacino stars as a detective who travels with a ship to investigate ships sinking and a series of murders. He encounters an advanced submarine (the Nautilus) and its Captain, and suspects a woman he met (played by Ellen Barkin) may be responsible for the killings.
  15. Hot Shots Part Deux Charlie Sheen Men At Work
  16. I'm holding off on answering with substance because I'm trying to wait until I have something to say that's worth saying. This question deserves a better class of answer.
  17. "They can beg and they can plead But they can't see the light, that's right. 'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right"

  19. "We're an American Band." Not sure WHICH band we are, but I know what country it's from...
  20. I've got the song but not the artist.
  21. On every episode of "Happy Days of Our Lives."
