Author	Topic: M2M, RED PLANET, and GHOSTS OF MARS... is MARS the Hollywood theme for this year?

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	No coincidence, Wedge. My brother was hospitalized yesterday. I'd like your prayers for him, and I will pray for your grandfather. This is what being Christian Brothers is all about!

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	But, Wedge... Before you start praying... There's a pile of gifts over there in the corner that I think you should deal with... You know...thank you notes and such... Let's keep to our priorities, OK?

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Wedge, Christopher, My very best to you and yours. May all be well. Awright? Awright. (he really must slip into accent at some point -- incorrigible, he) NP: UNDER FIRE. I tune into this thread, and it's as if Mr. Goldsmith's lovely little pan flutes in this particular cue ("Rafael's Theme") were expressly written just to cheer everyone up. Think of the pan flutes! (Goldsmith's anecdote while conducting the LSO at one of his earliest concerts in 1989: the producers had fallen in love with the pan flute sound, while Goldsmith discovered it wasn't a native instrument of Nicaragua. The producers insisted it would sound great, and Goldsmith went along with it -- all to the best, I think we all agree. But as he related to the London audience, he was cornered years after UNDER FIRE by a Nicaraguan student who scowled, "You used a flute that DOESN'T EXIST IN NICARAGUA!" To which Goldsmith replied "Thank you SO MUCH -- I've been waiting YEARS for someone ELSE who knew that!") Take care, brothers -- you and yours, as I already said. Every available finger and toe is duly crossed. It'll feel like hell in the morning, but hey, whatever works.

PeterD Oscar® Winner	Let me add my wishes for a quick recovery for your relatives, Wedge and Chris. Just wanted to mention, for anyone who's interested -- and I realize I'm not talking multitudes here -- that I'm adding the answers to the bottom of the GOD QUOTE QUIZ: THE SEQUEL back on Page 4. And MWRuger and Chris were right on (e) and (f).

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Thank you, Rocco & PeterD. Your good thoughts are appreciated. PeterD...that last quiz was just TOO TOUGH! Thanks for the answers. NP: "Under Fire" because of Rocco

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Scott (I hope you're still here!), you really blew my socks off when you mentioned that you are a member of Jack Hayford's church! I first heard Hayford back in the mid 80's, and I've been listening to his daily radio program (and recording them!) ever since. The man is phenomenal. He is one of the finest Bible teachers on the planet. I listen to his teaching five times a week, and I've got more hours of his messages recorded than all of my film music put together! I hope you know how BLESSED (I won't say "lucky" ) you are to have him as your pastor!

Wedge Oscar® Winner	H, Peter, thank you. Chris, thank you, and I will certainly pray for your brother. God is watching over us all, whatever may come. Blessed be His name.

Scott Oscar® Winner	Chris, yes I am still here. Just have problems sometimes getting on the computer. Anyway to you and Wedge, hope your brother and grandfather will get better. I will pray for them. If you could let me know their names (although it is not essential of course). In regards to Jack Hayford. I travel most Sundays and many Wednesdays over 45 minutes one way to got to that church. Jack demonstrates to me the heart of Christ. Never condenming, always encouriging under the umbrella of absolute Truth. He is a loving, sincere man and you are right very gifted in his teaching abilities. Most services are now being conducted by his son-in law Scott Bauer who has some of the same traits as Jack. One last comment about the salvation part. Many use that phrase: Well I don't need that for salvation. Well, let's just remember that salvation is just the result of a much higher goal in God's mind. The reconnection between the individual man/woman to God and this so that we can communicate with him. God wants to talk to us, wants to help us, wants to hold us. Also, this morning I was reminded in prayer about a phrase that many of us are fine or doing fine without God (natives, non-believers) etc. Well, I thought that as well before I surrendered. But God is always in our lives, whether we believe in him or not. As it is written:" He maketh his sun to rise on the good and on the bad and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust" Yes, you may doing fine, yet you could be doing even much better. Just a thought. God bless Scott BTW Chris thanks for not using the word "luck". I absolutely do not believe in the word either.

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Thanks, Timmer. Scott, my brother's name is Kerry. And I deeply appreciate your prayers on his behalf. This was a pretty happenin' thread for a while, wasn't it? We went from Mars to evolution vs. creation, to dinosaurs, bigfoot, speaking in tongues and then had a prayer request time. Now it seems to have petered out. Whatever that means. Who came up with the phrase "petered out", and what does Peter have to do with it? Any more hot topics out there that we can kick around? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Who are ya' gonna vote for in the upcoming Presidential election? Can Hillary win in New York? Will Frasier & Roz have an affair? Are any of you going to be contestants on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"? (I'd like to see you there, Rocco!) What will you be wearing to watch the Oscars?
posted 03-25-2000 03:35 PM PT (US)

Scott Oscar® Winner	Chris, Kerry by name will be in my daily prayers. It is refreshing in our present day political correct climate to be able to discuss all of these issues. I will be voting for Bush. Be wearing something comfortable for the Oscars. Don't watch Frazier. Have no plans to be on Millionare The chicken came first Oh and I hope Hillary won't win, but she probably will. Scott [This message has been edited by Scott (edited 25 March 2000).]

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Thanks, Scott. I'm still not convinced that Hillary will actually run...there's still time for her to back out. But I hope that she does run, because her debates with Rudy Giuliani will probably be the most entertaining stuff on TV this year!

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	I'd be scared as hell to go on "Millionaire," but my mother has talked seriously about applying ... they don't get too many late-middle-aged-women on that show (any??), and she's smart and camera-friendly enough ... I'd rather she do it frankly, I don't need the hassle, although I DO need the money. I've wondered myself how serious Hillary was about running, but there's no question in my mind now that she will. Also no question that she cannot win. I proffer you no judgement on this; I simply assert that she cannot win in New York State.

James Oscar® Winner	The word peter is an intransitive verb which means "to diminish gradually and come to and end," and as you have shown, is usually accompanied by the word "out." It dates back to 1846, but so far etymologists have not been able to trace its origin.
posted 03-25-2000 08:30 PM PT (US)

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	THANK YOU, JAMES! Oh, my wife would LOVE you! She's really into the study of word origins...hence the question arises: WHY didn't I ask HER? Rocco, I certainly hope that you'll let all of us know when your mom will appear on "Millionaire"! (of course YOU will be in the background, cheering her on, right?)

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	Well I finally saw the movie yesterday. It seemed like a "cribnote" version of 2001. Maybe if 2001 was that short I'd be able to watch it without falling asleep. Actually I think it's the classical music that does it. I would have loved to hear North's score in the movie instead. Morricone's music suprised me. there were some nice passages, I may have to get the album. The ending was too abrupt and finished to quickly. Was it me or did the "martian" look like one of the ants from the movie ANTZ? At least in the face it did. I found it interesting that life would evolve from Mars. I'm not a very strong religous person, but I don't consider myself an athiest. I have my own beliefs on evolution and the Bible. There may be a higher existence or there may not. I believe goodness comes from the heart and whether that is God's will or just plain common sense is open for discussion. When I have made mistakes in my life I don't feal it is the Devil tempting me, nor when I make a good choice do I feel God is involved. Christians and churches do provide happiness and care throughout the world, there is no denying that. But they can also make life miserable by sticking their noses where it doesn't belong. People have a right to live their life as they see fit, as long as they don't interfere or cause havoc with other people's life then they shouldn't be judged by anyone as immoral or going to hell. I consider myself a good person and just because I choose to go out and drink at a club, or swear, be intimate with someone even though I'm not married to them, or not go to church shouldn't make me a bad person. I do other things that I would find more important in judging a person, such as being there for your kids, spending time with family, not using drugs, not stealing, not being abusive, holding a job and not being a drain on society (That is kinda harsh, but my opinion), treating the opposite sex with respect, respecting your neighbor and their property, respecting authority, and lending a hand when possible. Why? Not because God and the Bible tell me to, but because I would want to be treated the same way. Sometimes a little common sense and good parenting can make the most out of someone. My 2 cents worth. NP: Damien; Omen II **/*** [This message has been edited by Mark Olivarez (edited 26 March 2000).]

Wedge Oscar® Winner	To all concerned: thank you for your well wishes. Scott: my Grandfather's surgery has been moved to Thursday. His name is John. "Chris: Rocco, I certainly hope that you'll let all of us know when your mom will appear on "Millionaire"! (of course YOU will be in the background, cheering her on, right?)" Rocco will pull a "Wilson". He'll always be behind something. You'll never be able to see his face. If (when) his mother wins the whole bonanza, and he leaps up to cheer, a boom-mike will lower into view. That's just the way life is. The camera CANNOT contain Msgr. Rocco!

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Hey Mark! "Why? Not because God and the Bible tell me to, but because I would want to be treated the same way." I'm sure you don't wanna hear this, but you darn near quoted Matthew 7 : 12, aka: "The Golden Rule"!
posted 03-28-2000 07:37 PM PT (US)

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Wedge, I was hoping for more messages in between, so I could bounce something properly sarcastic off someone else. No dice, I guess. Just tell me how to pull a "Wilson"? I'll probably do it anyway, just out of reflex, but it would be fun to know what I AM doing at the moment itself ... (and to know what you're all looking for to disguise myself more thoroughly ... ) ( ... even when we've met in Detroit, will you know for sure whether it was me? ... ) NP: DAI MAJIN ENRAGED (Akira Ifukube)

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Scott, we are all born into sin...the world is polluted, and we become polluted by being born into it...but, thank God, every one of us can be SAVED BY GRACE! Jesus told Mary Magdeline, "GO...and sin no more!" Sin no more...what a concept! It IS POSSIBLE! Rocco, Wedge's concept is funny, but if you really need to be invisible while your mom is on TV, that scenario is unrealistic. Wedge's plan would necessarily include the cooperation of the ABC-TV camera operators and editors, as well as the show's director. The only way that you'll be able to keep your face off of network TV when your mom is on the hotseat on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", and you're in the background supporting her, is to have a MASK to hide your face. Maybe a Godzilla face on a stick. Maybe you should have a different face on a stick for each shot that you're in. One Godzilla, one Rodan, one Ghidrah..actually THREE Ghidrahs...one Smog Monster, one Ultra Man...etc. If you go on the Millionaire show with your mom, I'll be happy to make the masks for you!

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Thanks for the thought, Chris, but realistically I'll be her "lifeline" (is that what they call it? well, you know what I mean. It makes way more sense for me to be at the other end of the phone. As one family friend observed when learning Mom and I had been paired as a team for a game of "Trivial Pursuit" -- "That isn't fair!" she blurted. Funny thing is, fifteen years after the fact, I don't think we actually won. Sometimes it's just a roll of the dice.)

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Mark, you are absolutely correct! IF every human being followed "The Golden Rule", and treated every other person as he/she wished to BE treated, in every situation... There would be no war. There would be no hunger. There would be no poverty. The list goes on and on... That's why it's called "The Golden Rule"! And that's why God asked us to use it!

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Rocco... If you're at home being a lifeline for your mom...WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT? WE WON'T GET TO SEE YOU SWEAT! Seriously though, I gotta tell ya' the truth...I think that you & your mom would be a KILLER team if YOU were in the hotseat, and SHE was your at-home lifeline! That's the only way that you'll win any REAL MONEY!
