Nothing so recent.

If it's a "Die Hard", Bruce Willis HAS to be in it, so.... Bruce Willis Hudson Hawk Andie Mc Dowell

"Yes. Where on earth am I gonna get that kind of money?" "I don't know. But we will." "We will... How?" "We'll make it." "Where? On the Xerox machine?!" " I'm going to the museum. They're exhibiting a new Gauguin." "Gauguin? Oh, I heard of him. That's the guy who duked it out with Godzilla, right?" "That man belongs in a pound!" "Pound of what?" "You can't just burst in here like that!" "Oh yeah? Tell that to the writers." "Wipe that stupid grin off your face." "This is the smartest grin I know." "You are eye crust!" "The better to see you with, my dear." "You are navel lint!" "Expensive navel lint." "You are..." "Don't go much lower, they'll take us off the air."

I am able to accept a sufficient description of the movie in place of the title. Since there's only 1 movie where Indiana Jones and Sean Connery went after the Grail, I accept this as correct. ("Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.") So, it is your turn!

"He chose poorly."

*snicker* What is this, yankees falling from the skies? Aaaaaah! *whump* Yes, El Guapo. That's "THE THREE AMIGOS!"

Yeah, I know..... "Yes. Where on earth am I gonna get that kind of money?" "I don't know. But we will." "We will... How?" "We'll make it." "Where? On the Xerox machine?!" " I'm going to the museum. They're exhibiting a new Gauguin." "Gauguin? Oh, I heard of him. That's the guy who duked it out with Godzilla, right?" "That man belongs in a pound!" "Pound of what?"

One thing I find interesting about Loy's "Rise and Expansion" class/book/whatever... In the course of 10 years time, the man took a ministry of perhaps 40,000 people and reduced it to a ministry of about 4,000 people (and falling.) From 1988-1989 alone, he had reduced the numbers by 4/5. Forgive me if I can see a man do that, and refuse to take seriously the idea that BEFORE he did that, he studied out how the First Century Christian Church expanded in numbers and thrived under persecution, and understood it.

You really haven't given thought to HALF the things you suppose you have. vpw said that most people "only think that they think"-and this is an example. I'll illustrate quickly. A) These so-called 5 sonship rights. If your beliefs are really "It is written" and "Chapter and verse, please", then cite and post the verse where it gives the sonship rights, they number exactly 5, and they are called "RIGHTS". You will not find "5". You will not find they are called "rights". And they're not said to refer to our "sonship." B) Which verse says there are 9 manifestationS of the holy spirit?

I'm reasonably sure this is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", another show from Joss Whedon. :)

*thinks* So, the new movie's got you thinking, too? :)

*thinks* Stuck on a theme? :)

That's the episode. Zimmerman is working on developing the LMH, and selected Bashir as the template. Meanwhile, Rom can't bring himself to tell Leeta he likes her. Until she's about to leave the station. And he runs to stop her, yelling from far away until he catches up to her.

"WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ""No, this is important. You can condemn us for what we did- you can say it's illegal or immoral or whatever you want to say. But you have to understand that we didn't do it because we were ashamed. But because you were our son. And we loved you." "If this thing works you will be able to irritate hundreds of people you never even met." "If I'm going to be truly annoying, I'll have to get under their skin quickly. At age five -- I loved brussel sprouts." "That's the spirit. I hate you already." "You decided I was a failure in the first grade!" "Jules, you don't understand. You never did... " "Today's the day, brother. I'm really going to do it this time." "You've been saying that for weeks." "I've been waiting for the right moment. And this is it." "Now?" "This is a long questionnaire." "I pride myself on my attention to detail." "Compare and contrast your eating habits at age five with those at ages ten, fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five?" "We don't have anything like this on Jupiter Station." "Young. Eager. Ambitious. He was fresh out of medical school and looking forward to his first taste of 'frontier medicine.' Sometimes he let that natural impulse override his sense of decorum." "You mean he was difficult." "No. But sometimes he could... give you way too much information." "Could you elaborate on that?" "Sometimes he just... didn't know when to shut up." "Are you implying that he harassed you with unwanted advances?" "No. But he was... very persistent." "I see. Could you be more specific?" "You're not being very helpful." "I do not like doctors. Any doctors." "You can rest assured that I will keep anything you say in the strictest confidence." "You're sure about that? I wouldn't want this to get back to Julian." "You have my word." "Well, the truth is... he's an extraordinary person. A real sense of honor and integrity... great sense of humor... warm and caring -- you're sure he's not going to read this?" "Positive." ""He needs a woman with body AND brains". "I have brains." "Sure you do, honey. That's why I hired you. Now eat up and then take those brains back to the dabo wheel where the customers can get a good long look at them." "Why is everyone so worried about holograms taking over the universe?" "Please state the nature of the medical emergency." "Oh, that's original! He doesn’t even look old enough to be a doctor!"

Right. I thought the swearing in Chinese was a giveaway. Then again, I also thought Shepherd Book's lines were more memorable- like not sermonizing Inara but having a sermon if she wanted one, and the line about kneecaps, and especially the level of Hell for people who talk at the theater. Amazing how the show resembles a Western when you leave out the ship, though, doesn't it? I think that's exactly what Whedon wanted- mixing futuristic SF with Wild West- and succeeded. Frankly, I'm disappointed the series was never renewed-it had a lot of potential that the network never saw. I imagine either the Londinium reference, the malfunctioning compression coil, or the famous Crazy Ivan was what triggered your memory. (Just because I never saw the series BEFORE didn't mean I couldn't see it NOW....) Your turn!

"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty." "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so VERY pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die. Huh? Look at that chiseled jaw, huh? Come on! " "Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets." "So. Would you like to lecture me the wickedness of my ways?" "No, I brought you dinner. Although if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers." "I think I'll pass.But thank you for this." "Can you hear me?" "I'm standing right here." "You're coming through good and loud." "'Cause I'm standing right here." "Say that to my face." "I said, you're a coward, and a pi$$pot. Now what are you gonna do about it?" "Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya." "I got a stake in this job, and nuthin' don't split eight ways. Let me do the math here. Nuthin' over nuthin'... carry the nuthin'.." "Course YOU couldn't buy an invite with a diamond the size of a testicle, but I've got my hands on a couple. OF INVITES!!!" "If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of Hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater." "Six men came to kill me one time. The best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock. Customized trigger. Double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun." "Da-shiong bao-jah-shr duh la doo-tze... Are you offering me a TRADE?" "A trade? Hell, that's theft! This is the best damn gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's miles more worthy'n what you got." "What I got? She has a name!" "So does this! I call it Vera." "Look, they got boy whores! Isn't that thoughtful? Wonder if they service girlfolk at all." "Don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?" "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps." "I'd sure love to find a brand new compression coil for the steamer." "Yes, I'd like to be king of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat. Just get us some passengers. Them as can pay. All right?" "If the compression coil busts, we're drifting." "Best not bust then." "Captain, do you mind if I say grace?" "Only if you say it out loud." "Wash, you gotta give me an Ivan." "I'll see what I can do." "Kaylee, how would you feel about pullin' a Crazy Ivan?" "Always wanted to try one."

Amazingly, you're still not even warm. (No, that's not a clue.)

No, and I'm glad this wasn't too easy....

Possibly. I suspect a possible connection between the current twi prez and Witchie-Poo from that show, however.

Got it in one! Some trivia: Thomas "Dolby" got that as a nickname, from a walkman he used to wear with noise reduction on it, "DOLBY" in big letters, in college. He got permission from the Dolby company to use that as a professional name. He called in a favor and got MAGNUS PIKE to be in his video. In the UK, that's like us having CARL SAGAN in a video. Magnus Pike underestimated how popular this new medium would be- the music video. He refused to wear a white coat since he's not a PhD. He later regretted his decision to grant the favor and appear in the video. That's because if he went to a US university and walked around campus, students would come up to him and yell "SCIENCE!" Ok, your turn, when you're done eating.
