How about Man that drinks soft drink And Veteran who should not have drank that. different roles in different movies and different drinks. There's a word for these types of roles that should make you smack your forehead and say, OH, DUH!!! [That's not a hint].

This is a really tough one, not just for the movie, but for the particular scene. The expression you're seeing is "awe," as in "how the blazes did you figure that out?"

Ooh, I am trying to remember the song! Great movie. And she doesn't look nearly as scary... A League of Their Own

I am indeed. It's a fascinating argument I am still trying to digest. Most of it is ironclad, but there are still pieces that I find untenable. His "brothers of the lord" explanation seems a little too convenient, as does his explanation of "born of a woman." But I am not an expert in the field. The experts in the field disagree with Carrier, interestingly, but I find their arguments even less convincing than Carrier's. Some things I am sure of: Neither Luke nor Matthew had any idea of the circumstances of Jesus' birth. Their stories are irreconcilable. And the raising of Lazarus simply never took place. Think about it. How did three biographies of Jesus circulate with no mention of this astonishing miracle? Mark, Matthew, Luke... nothing at all on the raising of Lazarus. How is that even remotely conceivable? And where did Lazarus go? Again, absolutely inconceivable that he walks around for any length of time as living proof of the power of Jesus only to disappear from any future noteworthy narrative? Seriously? Why does Paul actually BRAG that he did not get any of his information from the disciples who supposedly walked with Jesus, studied under him, witnessed his wonderful works for the better part of a year (if not three)? If someone claimed to have learned everything about me from God, and you believed that person over my best friends and co-workers, who actually knew me, people would be justified in thinking something was wrong with you. But Paul claimed to have learned everything about Jesus from Jesus and God himself (themselves). The people who actually walked with Jesus? Paul swears he never learned a thing about Jesus from them. Who would brag about that? Someone who believed the story of Jesus was a spiritual one and not a historical one would brag about that. Someone who never mentioned Pontius Pilate or the Jews or the Romans but that Jesus was killed by "the princes of this world" (which did not happen). Someone who knew there was a group called "the Twelve" but did not know they were only 11 after Judas betrayed Jesus [because the story that they were physical witnesses and that Judas betrayed Jesus had literally not been invented yet]. There's a LOT about Paul that makes more sense when you remove a historical Jesus from the framework and make it a spiritual revelation instead. But in my view, there are still things that make no sense (yet?) if Jesus did not exist as a historical figure. Like James being the brother of Jesus. Why distinguish the 12 and the Brothers of the Lord? Makes little sense. I'm condensing a lot of arguments into one tiny post, but it's an interesting subject. P.S. A couple of days ago Carrier and I became friends on Facebook. Not that he has time to answer my personal questions, but I can always ask.

After hearing the sound of a typewriter through so much of the movie, to realize he has been typing the same sentence over and over and over again was more than just creepy. It was scary AF. It's also the moment Shelley Duvall realizes how much danger she is in.

So... Marvel's Legends of Tomorrow?

I don't know how to do this on a phone or mobile device. When I try, I get a blank screen. I can only do it on a laptop or desktop computer.

There's still a SHIELD?

It is Dynasty. No woman wore the same outfit twice

Not Dallas, not Melrose Place. There was talk of a crossover with Dallas, but it never went beyond the talking stage for multiple reasons

It WAS a soap. It was not Soap

One character in this series was homophobic and, as a result, would occasionally bully his gay half=brother. Ironic, because the actor who played the homophobe was gay, and the actor who played his brother was not. None of the women on the show ever wore the same clothes twice (on the show). The original plans for one season was to have the leading man develop amnesia and fall in love with his first wife. However, this was changed because the actor who played him routinely vetoed any storyline involving adultery. In the end, the character merely thought he was still married to his first wife, (of which she mischievously took advantage) before regaining his memory after seeing his present wife again. The leading man played a key role in an earlier series, but you'd be forgiven if you didn't recognize his face when he appeared in this one.

Mine is Finding Forrester. WordWolf is up! Wikipedia: Sixteen-year-old Jamal Wallace plays basketball with his friends in New York City. A recluse, William Forrester, lives on the top floor of the building across from the court. The kids regularly notice him watching them. One of the boys dares Jamal to sneak into the apartment and retrieve an item. Jamal takes a letter opener only to be surprised by Forrester and inadvertently leaves his backpack behind. Forrester later drops Jamal's backpack onto the street. Me again: It's not just that he drops the backpack onto the street. It's that he throws it from his window to the street because he is returning it to Jamal. It's a cool way for two characters to introduce themselves to each other. Later Jamal looks in his backpack to find Forrester has read his journal and writing entries and critiqued them. Excellent movie from Gus Van Sant, director of Good Will Hunting.

Still, frame, screencap, screengrab. Whatever. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. How about something a little more challenging (or not, if you're my friend on Facebook)?

Oh for persnickety's sake. Because this is the first time they're all in one shot with Hulk and not Banner?
