  1. Not only WOULD it be that movie, it IS that movie! Starring Gene Wilder as the rabbi from Poland who goes to San Francisco to serve a congregation lacking a rabbi, in the days of the Wild West. Along the way, he meets a bank-robber played by Harrison Ford. I think current standards would make this PG-13 at WORST. It's got comedy, it's got drama. I think of it more as a drama due to its approach. You can laugh at Avram, but he has YOUR respect by the end of the movie, or you have no heart. Go, Steve!
  2. No duh. I've been discussing it since the title was released. I want to see what the people HERE think. Most discussion groups I've been in on this are teenagers, and there's almost no teenagers here. Well, go out on a limb-take a wild guess. What would you guess is true about him?
  3. I'm operating under the assumptions that the HBP: A)will unite the Hogwarts Houses OR the wizarding world races (or BOTH) B)has already appeared C)is not a teacher or OotP member or other adult D)is a male E) has no brothers (otherwise there would be 'princes') Now, "half-blood" in HP has been used to refer to ALL wizards who are not "pureblood" (from a long line of wizards like Draco Malfoy or Ron Weasley) or "mudblood" (first generation wizard, like Hermione Granger) However, JKR MIGHT throw us a curveball and make this a "half-blood" of some other kind, as in "of 2 Bloodlines", like a descendant of Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff or something. We KNOW that this was one working title for BOOK 2. JKR decided not to use the subplot there because it gave too much away, too soon. She also said that the moved subplot's only connection to the actual Book 2 is a "discovery Harry makes in Book 2." Me, I eliminate all "1/2 wizard, 1/2 giants" based on giant society. In Book 5, we see they don't like wizards, don't have royal bloodlines, and only respect physical strength. All of this means a 1/2 giant would be ignored as a weakling. He might be 1/2 Muggle (normal human), 1/2 elf, 1/2 goblin, 1/2 merfolk, 1/2 centaur. If he is one of those, he would bring "his people" to the new war. (I'm hoping he brings the goblins.) The most standard possibility is Seamus Finnegan, who has been around since Book One, but I have a much stranger candidate who's been around since Book 1. Who do you think he is, or WHAT do you think he is, and WHY? Please stop discussing this as soon as the new book is out.
  4. NO SPOILERS WHEN THE BOOK COMES OUT!!!!!!! "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" comes out in a few days. So, everyone's guessing... who is the 1/2 Blood Prince? JKR confirmed on her website it is NOT Harry, Voldemort or Tom Riddle, and at a book-signing (off-the-record) that it is not Hagrid. I'm operating on the assumption that it is a Male (a 'prince') with no brothers (otherwise 'princes'), not older than 20 (otherwise he overshadows the golden trio). Everything else is wide open. What do you think?
  5. If you want to address some of the more virulent anti-Catholic stuff, "the Babylon Connection?" is a good book you can find in Christian bookstores. It's by the same Ralph Woodrow that wrote "Babylon Mystery Religion" and is essentially "how my previous book was wrong." It's a must-read for anyone who read the previous book, or sat thru any teaching by lcm.
  6. Hm. I'm surprised you guys haven't gotten this yet. Someone once described it as the funniest R-rated movie ever made. It also had star power. Other quotes. "The shmendrick can go." "How many rabbis can say they had a bank-robber as a best man?" "...but He does not bring rain! *thunder sounds* But sometimes, just like THAT! *snaps fingers* He changes His mind!" "If you had gotten here yesterday, we could have had roast chicken!" For reasons which become clear about 1/2way thru the movie, one working title for this movie was 'No Knife'. Hm-I only included quotes which don't come up on Google, and everybody's baffled. No, I'm sure it's just that they haven't seen this movie in a while... or just seen the edited-for-television version, which changes a few of those quotes.
  7. Basically, all the scams involve getting someone to give up their bank account#, credit card#, PayPal#, or something similar. If you want to take a look at the current ones, just go to http://www.snopes.com and type "scam" in the search window.
  8. 9. Is 4 hours too long to spend composing a single post? Yes.
  9. Nope, neither a Stallone NOR a war/military film at all. Here's 2 more quotes. " Oy gevalt!" " 'Oy, she it!' That makes sense."
  10. Let's see..... "Would someone please show this poor @$$h**e the way out of town?"
  11. I got here first! That's from "DEMOLITION MAN"!
  12. So, again, karmicdebt left us at Ray Walston, then My Favorite Martian, and I linked here...
  13. Ahem. My Favorite Martian, the movie. Released 1999. Among the cast: RAY WALSTON as Armitan, and CHRISTOPHER LLOYD as Uncle Martin.
  14. Yes, but it spawned a movie, like the Addams Family. Christopher Lloyd Addams Family Raul Julia
  15. Geena Davis Quick Change Jason Robards
  16. Well, that's the REASON for the namecalling and arrogance, Steve. If you have the law on your side, hammer the law. If you have the facts on your side, hammer the facts. If you have neither on your side, hammer the TABLE. Without namecalling and arrogance, the substance of his argument would be based on 'substance' rather than 'argument'. This business of "warriors who are senior in battle" (of which Klingon House, I wonder?) isn't that different from only having a message for OLGs, and this "murderers, thieves and plunderers" isn't far from "crybabies" and "unfit researchers". "Plunderers?" What, we have pirates here now? "Arrr, matey, we'll keelhaul the lubbers who don't endorse this water!"
  17. No, but at least that quote actually helped...
  18. Donald Sutherland Buffy the Vampire Slayer Hilary Swank
  19. "He's faster than a bullet, stronger than a train. He's the one who got lucky-got his cape around miss Lois Lane. I can't believe my dilemma is real- I've been competing with the Man of Steel!"
  20. *tries link* Well, the link seems not to connect now, so the site may be down for one reason or another. Have we all learned our lesson now, or will posters continue to post websites and do the WayGB's work FOR them?
  21. *looks it up* George, we'll need another quote!
  22. Well, one song made me think of the others. Feel free to name this one.
  23. "I can't believe my dilemma is real- I've been competing with the Man of Steel!"
  24. Oh, good, a GOOD band! That's the opening line of the Offspring's " Why Don't You Get a Job?"
  25. You call me strong, you call me weak but still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I'd never let you down. You stumbled in and bumped your head If not for me, then you'd be dead I picked you up and put you back in solid ground. If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand Too recent for you guys?
