The lead actress is Keri Green. Her character falls in love with Charlie Sheen's character. Courtney Thorne-Smith is a supporting actress, as is Winona Ryder (in her debut role). The lead actor has been fully named in this thread, but has not been identified as the lead actor. One-word title. Two syllables. Both syllables appear together in different, consecutive words in post #557.

About a week shy of a month since the last post. I suppose there's nothing more that will be said on slavery for the time being. I do appreciate the effort. The slavery discussion, of course, does nothing to address the arbitrary and immoral imposition of the death penalty throughout the Old Testament. Nor does it address the horrible treatment of women (particularly in cases of rape). In the Bible, if a woman is raped in the Old Testament, what happens to the rapist depends to a large degree on the marital status of the woman. if she's married, the rapist dies. Do we have the death penalty for rape today? Not anymore. Somewhere along the line, we decided as a culture that the punishment of death does not fit the crime of rape. But wait! There's more! If the rape of a married woman takes place in "the city" (or, in context, in a populated area), the woman dies too! Why? Because she did not cry out for help. Thus, it is assumed that because she did not cry out for help, it wasn't a rape at all, but an act of adultery. And adultery was punishable by death. We don't have the death penalty for adultery today. In fact, we don't have criminal punishment for adultery at all. It's a civil matter, if it's a legal matter at all. Mind you, if a rapist puts a knife to a woman's throat and says "don't make a sound or I'll kill you," then he has threatened the woman into silence (and silence=consent, and therefore it's adultery, and therefore she dies). Is that moral? Now, if the rapist strikes in an isolated area, then it's presumed in the Bible that the woman did indeed cry out for help (what was she doing out there by herself? Never mind). So in that case, only the rapist dies. Should rape be a capital offense? However, what happens if the woman is NOT married (or betrothed). Well, in THAT case, the rapist is not killed. So I was wrong: rape is NOT a capital offense. It's only a capital offense if the victim is married. If she's NOT married, SHE IS NOW! The rapist pays a fine to the girl's father (he's the victim) and has to marry the girl! That's his punishment. Yes, the father can say no (Exodus 22). THE FATHER CAN SAY NO. The girl can't! She doesn't get a vote. Deuteronomy 22 -- "He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." Traditional marriage? Now, here's what God COULD have said if he were moral: The rapist gets punished the same regardless of the marital status of the victim (who is the woman, not her husband, not her father). No harm, stigma or punishment shall befall the woman, for she is the victim. An unmarried woman who is raped shall be considered the same as any virgin. Period. End of story. That's how moral societies handle rape. That's how YOU would handle rape. The thought of a rapist MARRYING the woman he raped as part of HIS punishment is repugnant to you. You would not even entertain the notion. It certainly would not be the default, the ONLY legal remedy you bother to mention. You are more moral than that. But that's what Yahweh prescribed. You are more moral than Yahweh. Remarkable, by the way, that waysider and I chose to revive this thread at the same time. :)/>

There is an oh so subtle hint in the previous post. Maybe I should have picked a Star Wars movie instead. That's another oh so subtle hint.

Of for... No, it is not. Look, as soon as you see the title, you'll either say "oh yeah" or "I never heard of it."

Because it wasn't The female you're thinking of was not the lead The lead female in this movie was one of the goo...d guys.

Really? You haven't seen it enough? If you only had a clue.

You're up

Yes

No. "(Title) never say die."

A young science prodigy forms a superhero team with his late brother's classmates, whose first task is to identify and capture a man pretending to be Sidney Poitier's son.

I guessed based on the other two. Robin Longstride Captain Jack Aubrey Bud White

"Let's rock, you don't stop, Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock."

If you haven't seen this, you are one of the few. No clue in that last sentence or this one

Rock n roll is here to stay

The topic title was enough for me.

Zeus ?

The reason I thought of Spock should be obvious. It was the iconic line being spouted by the wrong person. Luke Skywalker saying "I, am your father..." I mean, you saw it coming from a mile away and you just sat there and waited for it, groaned when it happened, and just kind of hoped we could just move on (which the writers mercifully did).

Interesting. I will not say whether you have the correct actor. BUT The female lead (such as it is) in the Goonies is also the female lead in the movie we're discussing.

Pierce Brosnan Mamma Mia Meryl Streep

The dead one

It was not River Phoenix. He had the same first name as a frequent costar (and good friend)

Treat Williams Prince of the City Jerry Orbach

Other co-stars were Charlie Sheen and Courtney Thorne-Smith, who would later appear together in Two and a Half Men.

Welcome back, lindyhopper! It's kind of a long story. I came to a series of realizations step by step before deciding to chuck it all in August 2012. I went on to retrace some of those steps here without explicitly revealing my change of heart. Then I unmasked in the interest of full disclosure. I believe you can still be a Christian and doubt the legitimacy of modern SIT (I was and I did). I believe you can still be a Christian and recognize that the Bible contains actual errors and contradictions (I was and I did). But after a while, positing those theses without disclosing that I had abandoned "faith" felt more dishonest than academic, so I chose to come clean. That was a few months ago.

That's a tell.
