If I got lost with her, would you ever find us again?

I was gonna pull the "Ahem, it's Tuesday" card, but declined. Friends, thank you for your generosity. Still hoping we get a bit closer to our goal, but no pressure. You bunch of... I didn't say that! Thank you!

It is really a vaccine. It was really a vaccine when one politician tried to take credit for it. It's still a vaccine regardless of anyone's political or religious views. It is more effective than the annual flu vaccine and as effective as the vaccines against chicken pox and measles. The difference is, you don't see people depriving themselves of THOSE vaccines because God gave them natural antibodies or the surgeon general at the time they were developed was a member of the All Night Party. The more people got it, the harder it was for the disease to spread. The disease jumped from one vaccinated person to the next until it just lost because so many people were vaccinated.

The only thing that passes me off is that the word "vaccine" is in quotes in the thread title. It works. It's the reason we were able to return to some normalcy. You have a better chance of fighting off the disease after the vaccine than you do if you catch the disease and survive it. You can argue faith v. science all you want, but putting "vaccine" in quotes is an act of utter ignorance.

Halfway to our goal. A little over, actually. Folks, no one says you have to announce your gift, or how much it is. Paw will be the only one who knows, and he will be the one to thank you. If you want to send $1.50 and a nasty note, we'll take both. We won't shame you for a small donation. Heck, we won't shame you for NO donation. Most of all, we promise not to spit in your direction no matter how little or how much you give.

10 to go!

And of course the one word that would have been too much of a clue was... "magic." Ees next

There is one word in one of the quotes that is such a Scream-It-From-The-Rooftops clue that I can't even tell you give you a hint about which word it is. ("Scream it from the rooftops" is not a hint).

That's not it

Yes! Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman share a few frames of screen time passing each other, but neither character is aware of the other's involvement in the plot.

"Is this all real? Or is it just happening inside my head?" "Of course it's happening inside your head... Why should that mean that it's not real?"

I apologize for my lack of clarity. Heat is not the answer. The actor who portrayed the villain/antagonist said he based his portrayal on a cross between Bugs Bunny and H. Ross Perot. Movie critics at the time the film was released referred to the lead actress' outfit as "the bandage."

The meeting of hero and villain in Heat was classic!

Ok, pretty sure this has been done and I'm stealing someone else's clue, but: Rare among big-budget blockbusters, this film features a hero and villain who not only never meet, but never communicate with each other at all.

"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it."

Sorry, busy week in South Florida news

John Lynn's legacy is the subject of this thread. Let's move on.

Ok, you get the last word. Subject closed [on this thread]

Ok, I've been trying to let this go because I've participated in the thread. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT: the propriety of saying "negative" things about those who have died in the immediate wake of their passing. Because it was implicitly about JAL, there was some latitude in exploring what was said about him [namely, comparing that conversation to the behavior described in the opening post]. To explore the issue adequately, we did have to make observations that would otherwise be off topic. The observations were made. Counterobservations were made. Ok, fine. THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT: COVID and the best ways to prevent its spread. Future posts that are not on topic will be deleted without warning or apology.

Spoiler alert? Speed Force Nora.

Not enjoying the Evil Nora storyline in last year's Flash season. Doesn't take the whole year, does it?

The Name that Flick jogged my memory of this movie. I couldn't tell you who the actor was in both versions. "An engaged couple through most ot the movie" means a wedding either takes place or is thwarted. Once I got wedding and Steve Martin in my head, the rest felt obvious.

Ok, so this certainly IS Father of the Bride. Steve Martin is the bathrobe guy [allusion is to The Jerk]. However, the original DID spawn a sequel called Father's Little Dividend. Still, sticking with my answer. Steve Martin and Kimberly Williams: Father of the Bride

Father of the Bride ?
