In case "Leia" is Leia Organa, I'm going with CARRIE FISHER and thinking "Mystery Woman" was her surprisingly-unnamed character in The Blues Brothers (the beautician with the flamethrower and the rocket launcher.)

Most obviously. Probably the only movie where a clown steals a million dollars.

"is this a common idiom or a theological one?" That's a much more interesting question. However, you'll need someone who's put in serious study time into HEBREW specifically for that question. I'm more familiar with studies of modern language, and even have a better chance of answering questions about Koine Greek (but I'd recommend someone who's worked on translations there more formally for a better degree of answer.)

Sorry, it sounded to me like you were asking how one knows when a figure of speech means something it literally does not say. That's a legitimate question about figures of speech in ANY language, so I answered accordingly. I'm not an expert on Hebrew- neither as a language nor as a historical study. I'm aware similar examples exist in studying other languages, and translating between them and English. The easiest examples I can think of are between Spanish and English. In English, we can say, directly, "I like this movie", or "I love to dance," and there's equivalent phrases in Spanish. However, translated word for word, the Spanish would be "This movie is pleasing to me", or "To dance is enchanting to me." They're translated "I like this movie" or "I love to dance" anyway, as idea-for-idea translations, not word-for-word ones. (Just like people translate Bibles idea for idea or word for word.) I think it's clear this idiom doesn't apply to ALL of Yahweh's actions- but familiarity with the language or usage would clear that up if there really was confusion-just like with any other language.

"Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome." "Man, it's bad luck just SEEIN' a thing like that." "Dubuque?" "Des Moines." "Does the clown work for Lombino?" "THOSE are what the people will remember. Who will remember a clown stealing a million dollars?" "............." "Jesus, we gotta catch this guy!"

In any language- including English- it's possible to switch from the active voice to the passive voice. The most reliable method to determine which is being said is practice and paying attention. It can be done sincerely, or in humor, at least when it comes to English. If you drop or knock down a plate or glass jar, you might say "The plate fell." "The jar broke." Literally what happened was you dropped the plate, you broke the glass. I've seen a small child do this. They picked something up, flung it to the floor, and announced "It fell." It can also be used in humor. "He had an accident. He fell backwards on a knife 27 times." "What happened to him?" "Bad heart." "I heard he was stabbed through the chest." "Yes, that's about the worst thing you can do to someone with a bad heart." Figures of speech are common in every language- they don't just show up in the Bible- or in Hebrew or Greek or Syriac only for that matter.

"Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome." "Man, it's bad luck just SEEIN' a thing like that."

That's it.

I'm not sure about "Tropic Thunder." With "Garfield" I'm not confident. "The Tuxedo" starred Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt- who was one of the 2 titular heartbreakers. So, JLW.

With the first line, I wasn't sure if this was Sister Hazel. With the second, I could hear the harmonica. Few music acts include a harmonica- Bob Dylan, INXS, the Blues Brothers, Blues Traveler, and anyone featuring John Popper (of Blues Traveler.) But anyway, this was "RUN AROUND," by BLUES TRAVELER.

"Order, order. God^&%&it, I said "order". " Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order." " "Well, that's the end of this suit." "Yankee bean soup, cole slaw, and tuna surprise. " "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately!"

"Clean suit, new shoes, and I don't know where I'm going to."

"'Out of order' . I show you 'out of order'. You don't know what 'out of order' is, Mister Trask. I'd show you but I'm too old, too tired, too f*ing blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place!"

"JOY TO THE WORLD."

Most obviously. And those who are bored should go to YouTube and type in "Viking Kittens" for the current home of the Rather Good video.

And then "I'm feeling kinda oogy."

"Nuuuuuuude women. Nuuuuuuuude women. Cloooooowns welcome. Cloooooooowns welcome. Nuuuuuude women. Clooooooowns welcome."

"The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands. To fight the horde, sing and cry, 'Valhalla, I am coming!' " "We come from the land of the ice and snow. From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop, and rebuild all your ruins. For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing." This is a well-known song. Seriously. When I began typing in the band's name in the search, autocomplete offered me this song as an option before I finished typing in the band's name.

That has to be "SERENITY", which followed "Firefly." That show had a lot of potential, but the network kept changing when it aired and didn't promote it, so naturally it didn't build much of an audience until after it was cancelled.

IIRC, that was "PREDATOR." (Seriously, never saw "Ghostbusters"?)

Right, so that makes this "Batman Fever." (That's what David Letterman called "Batman Forever.")

(I once heard that this quote was improvised, and wasn't in the script.)

I think Martin Luther INTENDED to remain in the Roman Catholic Church, and his 97 Theses were meant to stimulate discussions, which were meant to trigger REFORM. However, since there were no reforms, there were limited options, especially for a man of good conscience. Frankly, Switzerland was well-situated as a location for the Protestant Reformation, which is probably why we got both Luther AND Zwingli from there. If there had been reforms, things would have been very different. Then again, there had been centuries of momentum beforehand, so, looking back, I don't think reforms had a chance in that decade. Things were just too entrenched by then, which was why the whole concept of retail selling of indulgencies didn't seem as outrageous to some people as they would to, say, me in the present, or Luther and Zwingli when and where they were.
