I’d say the National Treasure films are pretty family friendly.
Hitomi is the reason my right bicep is two inches bigger around than my left!
Do you also hate December because it’s nothing but a string a smarmy, overly emotional, cheesy Christmas movies?
It’s common in every Roman Catholic mass I have ever attended, and I have been to quite a few in many different locations.
The communion wafer is the body of Christ, and the wine is the blood of Christ. During the Eucharist, it is said that the spirit of God moves into those objects and transmutes them into the actual blood and body of Christ.
This is the part of the communion prayer dealing with the communion wafer, where it comes to symbolize the body:
Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.
And this is the portion for the wine:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.
During the pandemic, I have seen some services cut out the sharing of the wine, or they at least give each congregant the option to skip sharing the cup with everyone else. However, prior to that, most Catholics would routinely partake in both the wine and wafer.
He was in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, too. He was an alien in full prosthetics, so you’d never know it was he!
9 Songs, Shortbus, and Ai no korîda come to mind. All sexually explicit, but I don’t know if you’d classify them as “porno” films.
Also, you have to remember the two characters in that exchange were both high school students, and I don’t believe they were even seniors. That puts them in the 16-18 age range.
When I was 18, my mother and father were both 40, and I thought they were old! So that type of thinking is totally in line with how teenagers thought. Remember the whole, “never trust anyone over 30,” ideology…. Forty was downright ancient!
If only we knew then what we learned from experience!
I did see this in the theater back when it came out. I was a big SciFi fan and it was fun on the big screen.
This was the very first production episode filmed, after the two pilot episodes. In the first pilot (The Cage, with Captain Pike), Spock’s character was completely different and wasn’t changed to the coldly logical personality until the second pilot.
As this was only Nimoy’s third portrayal of Spock, and only the second as the unemotional character we came to know, it’s not unusual that some of the character traits were not yet set in stone. All of the characters had yet to fully develop, so seeing Spock raise his voice and get a little intense is not surprising. Things we take for granted, like the salute, the neck pinch, and the mind-meld hadn’t even been created yet!
It’s not unusual to see characters evolve slowly in any series…. Much less in one where you’re literally making up an alien civilization as you go along.
The “clowns” that passed the 2nd amendment were the same “clowns” that wrote the Constitution itself. Is was included among the first 10 amendments, which were all passed at the same time and became known as the Bill of Rights. These were passed four years after the ratification on the Constitution itself.
Some of the other amendments these “clowns” passed at the same time are little things, like freedom of speech, religion, the press, and the right to assemble. The right not to incriminate yourself. The right to a speedy trial. Little, trivial stuff like that.
I don’t know…. Those “clowns” seem pretty wise to me.
You can discuss the validity of the 2nd amendment in modern times all you wish, but to make it seem as this was some kind of newly added provision passed by “clowns” is entirely disingenuous.
Red 2 - signing in
(We just got the only two members of Red Squadron to survive the original trilogy!)
MacGyver also had the same aversion, but I guess he was more of a secret agent rather than a detective!
Do people who read silently, but move their lips when they do, pose a risk? 🤣
I’d like to know where the whole, “Jews hate guns,” idea came from.
There are several organizations here in the States, like www.jewscanshoot.com, that are fervent 2nd Amendment supporters and espouse the right to concealed carry. Their motto is, “nothing says never again like an armed Jew.”
While there may be certain sect of Judaism that would speak out against guns (just as there are in every religion), you can’t lump all of the together, into one broad category. Jews are as varied as any other group!
At least, not out loud!
Same as you… StarLord.
Hard to believe Major League wasn’t on either list, and was happy to see you include it on your list of personal favorites.
Of all the films you listed, that is the one I would still go out of my way to watch. Great performances all around (still hard to believe Dennis Haysbert was Cerrano), and the movie still holds up, even today.
In fact, I may need to pop out the BluRay and watch it tonight! It’s about baseball, and what’s more American on Independence Day?
Keyser Soze - brilliant, manipulative, and able to quickly adapt to any situation.
It’s not only wrong and downright reprehensible for all the reasons mentioned above… but Heaven forbid the person that was the victim of this prank has a job that requires routine drug screening.
What a hoot that would be when your “friend’s” career and life is ruined by your little “prank.”
Or what if he gets pulled over driving home, not realizing he’s been impared.
No… nothing even remotely funny about this at all.
