So Cerina Vincent wasn't beautiful in her prime? Catherine Zeta-Jones? Yasmine Bleeth? Hedy Lamarr?
Let's see your list of all-time top beauties.
I think it's closer to a 6.8633.
This was literally prophetic.
That's funny. I'll keep a lookout for that scene the next time I watch the movie (I haven't seen it since it debuted in theaters).
Not to mention, it's based on the true story of Richard Speck, which is generally known. It's like someone saying on the "Titanic" board that the ship sinks at the end and over 1500 people lose their lives. It's not a spoiler.
You didn't mention anything from the Tony Martin era.
Thanks.
Hallowed Be Thy Name; Genghis Khan.
That's true. Dave Mustaine said he was at a rural park in Europe, hiking or whatever on a day off from his tour, and he ran into a couple of young females with one wearing a Megadeth shirt. He said, "Hey, that's my band," but she didn't know who he was from Adam, lol.
TMP is better than being called TP.
Yes, he was. Many people who used to post on the defunct IMDb boards now frequent MovieChat and can even reread their old posts from IMDb (since most of 'em were transferred to this board). Also, this thread is still active for the general public visiting MovieChat, so Brux' post isn't beneficial to just the original poster on IMDb but to anyone who happens to come across this thread.
The nature of their relationship was close friends and not homosexual. How do we know this for sure? Because homosexuality was expressly forbidden by the Mosaic Law and David is described as "a man after God's own heart" in the Bible (1 Samuel 13:14 & Acts 13:22), which explains why the LORD specifically chose him to replace Saul as King of Israel.
Secondly, the Scriptures never describe their relationship in terms of "sleeping together," as is the case when David committed adultery with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11:4). Nor is their any reference to the two "knowing" each other in a sexual sense (Genesis 4:1, Genesis 19:5 & Judges 19:22).
So, David and Jonathan's relationship was a platonic friendship of exceptional loyalty and commitment, which was rare amongst males in that culture, but even rarer between men and women. In that day, males in the Near East typically viewed women as inferiors and considered wives as their possessions (that said, the great Deborah led Israel for four decades politically, spiritually, militarily and judicially, as disclosed in Judges 4).
Jonathan loved David as himself, sharing his personal possessions, such as his tunic, robe, bow and sword, which were valuable property to military personnel (1 Samuel 18:1-4). Their covenant of loyal friendship was evident when Jonathan had to defend David from his own father, King Saul (1 Samuel 19:4-7).
All of this helps one properly interpret David's grieving words over Jonathan in 2 Samuel 1:26.
Remember, Khan plainly recognized Chekov on the planet at the beginning of TWOK, which means he must've seen Chekov on the Enterprise in "Space Seed," even though it's not shown in the episode.
But, let's assume Chekov <i>wasn’t</i> aboard the Enterprise during the 1st Season, he would have certainly gotten word from the rest of the crew, in particular from his Helmsman buddy Sulu. After all, it's not like the encounter with the genetically-advanced Khan & his people was a routine day on the Enterprise.
TWOK has its highlights, no doubt (e.g. the Genesis Project), but it's my least favorite of the franchise.
Yeah, right. TWOK ranks with the least of the movies in the franchise, filled with glaring plot holes, such as: Starfleet and their cartographers (including trained navigator Chekov) not realizing that an entire planet was missing in the Ceti Alpha system; Chekov not realizing that this system was the one in which Khan & his clan were marooned by his former captain; Scotty melodramatically bringing his wounded nephew to the Bridge instead of Sickbay (which is one of the lamest scenes in Trek history); the ear slug simply leaving Chekov instead of killing him as the creatures did to twenty of Khan’s people; Kirk not noticing that his right-hand man, Spock, had left the Bridge; etc.
lol
Good point.
Personally, I never saw Pulaski as a biyatch, just an older female doctor who's seen everything and thus had a no-nonsense attitude.
Deputy Scott definitely realizes at the end that the Sheriff is the murderer, which is when the credits roll. The Sheriff is obviously going to try to silence Sue Ellen by slaying her on the ride to the hospital. Why not? He's already killed four people, one more won't be a big deal. But, you're right: He's also going to have to kill the ambulance personnel to get away with it, which is unlikely, but he's so desperate at this point he might try.
Can Deputy Scott run to the ambulance and stop it before it makes it to the street? Or, if he pursues the ambulance in his police car, can he get it to stop before the Sheriff kills her? The ending leaves it open.
Whether Scott is successful in saving Sue Ellen or not, I don't see how the Sheriff can get away with the murders by this point. There's just too much evidence against him. And Scott and the hunter who found the wallet at the gravesite would testify against him.
Thanks. It's also currently streaming on Tubi.
Some people inexplicably don't like it, but I thought his "Body Snatchers" from 1993 was one of the better flicks in that particular franchise.
You're right, that type of response is <i>too</i> common, lol.
