A chick flick?

Hello. An actor who eventually won an Oscar for this movie first auditioned for the part opposite Robin Williams and believed Williams would be cast in the title role. The real title actor had already been hired and it wasn't Williams. Williams was just doing a favor (not clear whether it was for the director or the actual star of the movie). Nonetheless, the Oscar winner would eventually work with Williams on another movie. Sometimes considered a sports movie. Other times, total chick flick. Contains a number of famous lines, (among them, NOT "The Kwan" or, alt spelling, "The Quan"). One of those lines was later adapted into a hit country song. Three of the four main actors went on to win Oscars (one for this movie, two for others). The fourth has never won, but was nominated multiple times.

We've discussed this before, but I thought I'd resurrect the topic. A friend is working on a podcast that will touch on how cults manipulate language and why. My feeling is that giving people a peculiar vocabulary and jargon helps builds group cohesion at the expense of outsiders who use the same words but don't mean the same thing. Examples, "I'm believing for" instead of "I'm praying or hoping for." "Religious" as an insult. I'd like to give her more examples unique to TWI. Suggestions?

I don't know the actual name, but I would say "Istanbul" And the only band I know of that sang it was They Might Be Giants

Correct

And this was the answer on another thread like really really recently

Mark agrees with Raf. Put it on your calendar. We will celebrate the anniversary of this next year

They say around the way you've asked for me There's even talk about you wanting me I must admit that's what I want to hear But that's just talk until you take me there oh If it's true don't leave me all alone out here Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there Tell me what you're feeling cause TITLE Girl you've gotta let me know which way to go CHORUS My every thought is of this being true It's getting harder not to think of you Girl I'm exactly where I want to be The only thing is I need you here with me - oh If it's true don't leave me all alone out here Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there Tell me what you're feeling cause TITLE Girl you've gotta let me know which way to go CHORUS

New song They say around the way you asked for me There's even talk about you wanting me I must admit that's what I want to hear But that's just talk until you take me there If it's true don't leave me all alone out here Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there

And we are naming/outing her because?

No, he was in a bond movie. I think... Skyfall Daniel Craig Cowboys and Aliens

You sound bitter, Grace. Say three Hail Dorothies, two Our Rhodas and go to concession before next service. While at concession, pick me up a beer.

You know why I come here? To be judged by people who don't know who we are, why we're here, what motivates us. I love being called bitter by a total stranger making a blanket statement in a drive by post. Welcome to Greasespot, Your Honor.

Are we going to ignore how bleeping awful Legends has gotten?

my mistake. no monitor in flash finale. just an obvious crisis setup

I had to escape, the city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead Uh-huh, Yeah Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you was just burning me up inside ... What in this world keeps us from falling apart? No matter where I go I hear the beating of our one heart I think about you when the night is cold and dark Uh-huh, yeah No one can move me the way that you do Nothing erases this feeling between me and you... Three artists: One original, two remakes, all iconic performers. The first remake was released after its performer was dead. You'd be forgiven for thinking his was the original, but it was not.

I haven't started SHIELD yet and don't know if I want to. I think I'm just going to wait for Netflix or the new Disney service for that. I skipped to the finales of all the shows except Flash, and (sad to say) I do not feel like I missed anything. Legends has entered and passed the "Superman: Quest for Peace" phase in terms of quality. I did enjoy the Monitor's cameos, though. Looking forward to Crisis and the end of Arrow. Flash was okay. Not great. But the only show where I actually care about each character.

This conversation about age becomes different in less than three months. Anywhoo... Lyrics: I had to escape. The city was sticky and cruel. Maybe I should have called you first, but I was dying to get to you.

This is not an honest reflection of what I posted and will not be entertained.
