True or False. Pope Adrian the 2nd was the last married Pope?

True or False Pope: Part II: CAN THE CHURCH JUDGE A HERETICAL POPE? CAN THE CHURCH JUDGE A HERETICAL POPE?  Part II Derksen and Cekada’s Avoidance of the Second and Third Opinions (in Bellarmine’s De Romano Pontifice)        For years, apologists of the Sedevacantist sect have been quoting ad nauseam the Fourth and Fifth Opinions of St. Bellarmine’s De Romano Pontifice to support their position that the Papal See is vacant. They claim that because Bellarmine said, in response to the Fourth Opinion, that “a manifest heretic is ipso facto deposed,” it must mean that if individual Catholics personally “discern” that a Pope is a heretic, it must also mean he is not a true Pope. We have tried in vain to explain to them that the ipso facto loss of office (which itself is only an opinion) would only follow the Church’s judgment of manifest heresy, and would certainly not happen while the Church continues to recognize him as Pope. We have cited quotation after quotation to demonstrate this (in our book and articles), including the thorough teaching of Fr. Pietro Ballerini (an adherent of Bellarmine’s position) who fleshed out Bellarmine’s position by showing precisely how the Pope would become a “manifest heretic” according to the Church’s judgment (Fr. Ballerini’s explanation is identical to how we ourselves explain it, and reveals how the Pope loses his office without the Church inappropriately “judging” the Pope).         But none of this has made it through to our adversaries. They continue to insist that the Pope’s ipso facto fall from office for heresy (which, again, is only an opinion) does not require (and follow) the Church's judgment, and that the secret loss of office can be privately "discerned" by any Catholic Tom, Dick and Harry in the street. Notwithstanding all the evidence we have presented to the contrary, our opponents obstinately maintain that it is up to each individual Catholic in the pew to determine, for themselves, if God had secretly deposed the Pope for the “sin” of heresy. These heresy sleuths then write articles instructing other laymen how they too can “discern” if a Pope has fallen into heresy and been secretly deposed by God. Those enlightened ones who discover the hidden “truth” through the Sedevacantist gnosis will then join them as part of the true remnant of “the invisible Church of true believers, known to God alone” (i.e., the “Sedevacantists”).        Now, what is interesting about all this is that, for reasons that will become evident as we proceed, the Sedevacantists have only published the Fourth and Fifth Opinions from Bellarmine’s treatise, and never bothered to translate the Second and Third Opinions, to see what Bellarmine had to say about these (at least not until we forced them to do so by quoting them in our book and articles). And these Opinions are very short, each consisting of only one paragraph, as opposed to the much longer Fourth and Fifth Opinions, which they did take the time to translate. Why is it that Fr. Cekada, for example, never bothered to provide his readers with these two additional paragraphs, from the Second and Third Opinions, in any of his articles or videos defending Sedevacantism? Is it because they are simply irrelevant? Quite the contrary; they are extremely relevant, as we will see. Was it because he had never actually read Bellarmine’s book that contained these opinions, but simply relied on what was available online, like so many of his Sedevacantist colleagues? Nope. We know that is not true, because when Robert Siscoe cited a section of the Fourth and Fifth Opinion in one of his articles, Fr. Cekada (in a vain attempt to discredit the article) provided a screen shot of Bellarmine’s treatise containing all Five Opinions, and even discussed how many paragraphs separated the quotation that Siscoe cited. Clearly, Fr. Cekada was well aware of these Opinions, but for some particular reason “forgot” to translate them for his flock. Derksen Deletes the Second and Third Opinion Screen shot from NOWatch; 2nd & 3rd opinions deleted        But what else is quite

Other Bishops, Priests, men and women     Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which     there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a     cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy     Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half     trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and     sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on     his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his     knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a     group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him,     and in the same way there died one after another the     other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and     various lay people of different ranks and positions.   Updated: June 28, 2016 (5:33 PM EDT). LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: A page of this type can no longer stand alone without creating great confusion. As time has passed it has doubtlessly become more difficult to distinguish the established prophecies concerning the office of the Pope and the future of the Vatican on the one hand, and news events regarding the current Pope and how they may or may not be applied to these established prophecies on the other. Because of this, there have been instances where the same material has had to appear on this page twice. There should be TWO pages, in other words. This page should deal with the BACKGROUND of established papal prophecies and the background of the current pope (in this case Pope Francis). This information will never change unless the current pope dies or retires and another pope is elected. The second page should deal with events like controversial statements made by the Pope or upcoming papal visits wherever they can be applied to prophecy. We will call this second page Pope Francis and the Rose Prophecy: The Current View . Henceforth, you will see a link section at this location, with a brief summary of the news to be discussed. You will click on it to get to Pope Francis and the Rose Prophecy: The Current View where the news event(s) will be discussed in greater detail in prophetic analysis. If there is anything in discussion that is not easily understood, refer back to the background information on this page. Bear with me, some fine tuning will still need to be done.     Nostradamus, Quatrain 2.97: The Prophecy of the City Between Two Rivers and The Rose Should Pope Francis, or any future pope, choose to venture into the Mesopotamian "land between two rivers," then I must revert to the original premise of this page when it was created in May 1999 to warn the late Pope John Paul II of possible assassination if he visited Iraq. At that time, my website was located at the now long gone web host known as GeoCities. Over the last few years, militants loyal to their "emir," Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, have been massacring Iraqi and Syrian Christians by the many thousands, subjecting them, along with Zoroastrians and Muslims not willing to follow Sharia law, to beheadings, garrotings, mass shootings, and being burned alive in metal cages; subjecting them to the mass abductions of their wives and fiancï¿


Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square London Attractions Discount London hotels Nelsons Column Trafalgar Square London England Nelsons column is located literally in the heart of Trafalgar Square London. William Railton was commissioned to build it and the origional model is    not exactly the same as the full size version. It took 3 years to    put up. Lord Admiral Horaio    Neslon is a great British naval    hero. Nelson's Column is a memorial produced after    his victory and unfortunate death at the battle of Trafalgar. History of Nelsons Column After Nelson's death, he became such a hero in the United Kingdom that the government decided to commemorate both the importance of the battle and the popularity of the victor. The Nelson Memorial Committee was founded in 1838 to raise money for a memorial to Nelson. They also invited people to design an appropriate monument. The architect William Railton won the commission later that year. William Railton's Original Model Railton's proposal and model had a gray marble base, but showed some details not featured in the finished monument. It had an additional flight of steps in front of the monument. Any visitor would have had to walk up this flight to reach its foot. The model is on display in The National Maritime Museum . It was loaned to the Museum in 1958 by a London steeplejack who had bought the model from a stonemason some years earlier. The Heart of Trafalgar Square Such a monument as Nelson's column needed a place to embrace it. The main  commercial districts of the city of London are built around Trafalgar Square  and Piccadilly Square. Between 1829 and 1843, John Nash designed London's  Trafalgar Square. Around the sides of the square are the church of  St Martin's in the fields and the National Gallery. The latter houses  one of the world's  richest collections of paintings. Nelson's column remains in Trafalgar Square to this day. The square  is overrun daily by pigeons. It is a major tourist attraction in London.  Although one  can not see any specific detail of the statue, it still impresses visitors.  It can be seen from a great distance. Also the streets of Whitehall and  Charing Cross flow from it. The building of the monument began in 1840. It    took three years to erect. Dominating Trafalgar Square,    is the column that is over 180 feet high. Acanthus leaves,    cast from British cannons    decorate the top. At the base are four bronze relief    panels cast from armaments captured from the French. These    panels depict the four great    victories of Admiral Nelson. In 1843, just before Nelson's    statue was placed on the top of the column, 14 stonemasons    held a dinner on the flat    top of the supporting column. An 18-foot high statue of Nelson stands on top of the column. The four great lions at the base of the column seem to guard it. These    were added later in 1868. They are made of bronze and    designed by Edwin Landseer. The monument was at one point sold to an American by a Scottish con man. Admiral Horatio Nelson - History of a Hero of the British Navy Born in 1758, he was made commander in chief of the British fleet in May 1803. This great man fought valiantly for his country many times and won many notable naval battles. This came at the personal cost of losing an arm and one eye. Admiral Horatio Nelson's last and most famous battle was the Battle of Trafalgar. Off the Spanish cape of Trafalgar, he defeated Napoleon and the French and Spanish fleets. Sadly, during it, on 21st of October 1805, he lost his life aboard H.M.S. Victory. The Battle of Trafalgar Sailing on his flagship, Victory, Nelson went in search of the French.    He first found the French fleet at Toulon, but they managed    to slip away from him. Nelson chased the French to the    West Indies and then back in to European waters. It was    more than two years before Nelson was able to bring the    French fleet to battle. News came that the enemy were near near Cap


Which is the busiest London Underground Station?

The Busiest Stations on the London Underground | MapsData The Busiest Stations on the London Underground Previous Next Project Description With the Tube’s 150th anniversary celebrated this year it seemed pertinent to see how the oldest metro system in the world was performing. To that end the visualization shows data on the number of people using each London Underground station on a typical day. The three largest show the great transport hubs of the capital, with trains leading all over the country and on to Europe: Waterloo, Victoria and King’s Cross St. Pancras. The streets of excellent shopping are obvious from the activity at Oxford Circus, and further down the draw of the West End has given a boost to Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus above their immediate neighbors. Among the surprises is the relative paucity of traffic through Baker Street, a frequent stop for those venturing deeper into the capital thanks to its placement on five separate lines. Despite its history — it is among the train stations passed on that first journey 150 years ago — it is now a junction in the middle of the journey rather than a destination in its own right. Feel free to interrogate the data above, have a look at your own commute, or if you wish to look in greater detail, click the button to jump straight to the application, or read below for how you might do it yourself. Try now Locating the data Transport for London offers an abundance of data on its performance, including live updates on current transport movements and performance figures for each of its major transport networks. The figures we wanted on the Underground’s total entry and exit figures came from the TFL website’s corporate section . This gave us the average traffic in and out of the station on a weekday or weekend, allowing us to not only compare the volume of people moving through each station but also how it changes over the week. Visualizing the data, however, requires the precise locations of each station. The coordinates of latitude and longitude for each station we found on Openstreetmaps , a website dedicated to open source mapping information ideal for our purposes. Now we were ready to structure the data into a readable form so that Mapsdata can visualize it. Structuring data: The data then needed to be combined and structured for it to import correctly. Excel’s VLookup function allows you to match each station with the equivalent location quickly, which accounts for most of the work, and beyond that all that is required is insuring clear column titles on a single row, with no extraneous columns. You only need the station name, the coordinates for the location, and the relevant data, with a single row for column titles. For a more complete demonstration of how we did, watch the video at the bottom of the page. The image details how the prepared data should appear, and if you wish to try visualizing for yourself you may download the finished data by clicking the button below. Download Data Visualizing data Now the data is ready to visualize. We loaded the data into the Mapsdata app, and were able to visualize a bubblemap that represented the weekday footfall at each station and switch quickly between the other data sets, comparing weekday traffic to weekend or comparing the annual totals.

Which author gave the copyright of the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital?

History | Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity Barrie requested that the amount raised from Peter Pan should never be revealed, and the hospital has always honoured his wishes. Legacy Although he and his wife were childless, Barrie loved children and had supported Great Ormond Street Hospital for many years. In 1929 he was approached to sit on a committee to help buy some land so that the hospital could build a much needed new wing. Barrie declined to serve on the committee but said that he "hoped to find another way to help". Two months later, the hospital board was stunned to learn that Sir James had handed over all his rights to Peter Pan. At a Guildhall dinner later that year Barrie, as host, claimed that Peter Pan had been a patient in Great Ormond Street Hospital and that "it was he who put me up to the little thing I did for the hospital".  JM Barrie dedication plaque So began the enduring link between the author and the children of Great Ormond Street Hospital.  On 14 December 1929, at Barrie’s suggestion, the cast of a London production of Peter Pan came to the hospital and they played out the nursery scene for the children, the first of a long tradition. Peter Pan archives and memorials Peter Pan and memorials to J M Barrie can be found throughout the hospital, for example: A bronze statue of Peter Pan and Tinker Bell outside the hospital entrance. A plaque dedicated to Barrie in the hospital chapel (unveiled in 1938 by J B Priestley). Tinker Bell play area in Octav Botnar Wing. A tiled mural created and donated by the art students of the University of Wolverhampton. You can view  some of these archives and memorials in our  Peter Pan photo gallery . Please note that the hospital is not a public place and some of the memorials are not accessible to the general public.


Who did Michael Fagan famously wake up in London in July 1982?

A Royal Wake-Up Call A Royal Wake-Up Call Queen Elizabeth II meets Michael Fagan for a chat in her bedroom Location: Buckingham Palace, SW1A 1AA Description: On July 9th 1982, Queen Elizabeth II was woken through unfamiliar means...on this occasion the Royal carriage clock did not chime... Rather the Queen was awoken by a dishevelled and inebriated looking Michael Fagan, mumbling to himself and swigging a bottle of wine stolen from the Royal cellars. The unemployed builder just wanted a chat and unfortunately, the Queen was in no position to refuse. Being a little worse for wear, Michael's request for a smoke to partner his fine bottle of wine was the Royal chance to raise the alarm and summon help. Michael Fagan was not charged for trespassing in the Queen's bedroom since it was then a civil offence and proceedings would have compromised the Queen's position as head of state and was acquitted of stealing wine from Buckingham Palace in June. Michael went on to claim that he broke in to test the security system and found it wanting...wanting what, a drink!

Written by Twenty Penguins 10 November 1966 (USA) See more  » Filming Locations: Did You Know? Trivia Otto Preminger was considered a particularly difficult guest star on this series and the shooting of the conclusion of the final fight scene of this episode was when he was most irritating. In the scene, Batman and Robin have to help up Mr. Freeze who is in dire medical straits and barely conscious from overheating with his refrigerating collar being lost. Acting etiquette generally requires when that an actor is lifted up while performing, he is expected to subtly help the lifting actors by partially getting on his feet to reduce the load. In this case, Preminger instead remained limp throughout the scene and Adam West and Burt Ward had to carry him for real the entire time.

(Youngstown,Ohio) – See all my reviews "Deep Freeze" finds the Caped Crusaders avoiding the Frosty Freezies treatment by opening the steam valve with their feet, but in the wake of unpleasant rumors tarnishing their reputations, Batman decides it's time to hang up their capes and cowls. Meanwhile, Mister Freeze (Otto Preminger), believing the Dynamic Duo to be on ice for good, implements his diabolical scheme to hold Gotham City for a cool billion dollar ransom, or face being frozen solid in 90 degree summer heat. This is too much for Batman, who cannot stand by any longer with his beloved Gotham City in peril, going into action to put away the frosty culprit's best laid plans once and for all. Byron Keith is again on hand as Mayor Linseed, the seventh of his ten appearances, while the stunning Dee Hartford, in one of her last roles, turns up the heat in her one piece bathing suit. As difficult in front of the camera as he was behind it, 'wild' Otto Preminger sealed his own fate in not returning to play Mister Freeze for his next and final two parter, which saw Eli Wallach inherit the part in "Ice Spy"/"The Duo Defy." 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.  Was this review helpful to you?

In which TV show would you find a group of freedom fighters in their spaceship called the Liberator?

Blake's 7 series 3 episode 13 - Terminal | Den of Geek Blake's 7 series 3 episode 13 - Terminal Darkness descends on our favourite freedom fighters as their original leader hoves back into view... j THE PLOT Avon is behaving oddly. Alone on the flight deck, he refuses to let any of the other Liberator crewmembers join him, and is receiving mysterious messages from an unknown source. Fed up of all the mystery, Tarrant confronts Avon, who tells him that he would like to be alone for a little longer. Angry that Avon has changed course without telling anyone, Tarrant reluctantly leaves the bridge at Avon's 'request'. When Avon eventually does emerge from the bridge, he confesses that he has no idea where they are going. The others immediately demand Zen to tell them what is going on, but Avon has blocked any forthcoming information. En route to their unknown destination is a cloud of fluid particles. At the moment, there is no way of telling whether the particles are dangerous or not, but a returning Avon demands that they stay on course. Tarrant demands that Avon tells them what is going on or they will stop him, but Avon threatens to shoot him if he does not get out of his way. A shaken Tarrant takes his place with the others as they hold on during the turbulent ride through the cloud. Emerging from the particles, Zen informs the crew that there is no damage. But little known to the others, the hull of the Liberator has started to slowly rot away with some kind of chemical... Still unaware of his destination, Avon is told by Vila that there is a nearby planet. The planet is Terminal, which Tarrant explains is an artificial planet, an experiment that was apparently abandoned 400 years ago. Terminal was used to study accelerated evolution of life on Earth, but the crew are baffled as to why Avon is so keen to teleport down there. Avon prepares to leave and tells the others that he will go down alone and will make regular contact. He adds that if they do not hear from him, then they are to leave without him, much to the others' protests. Adamant that he will carry out his task alone, Avon says that if anyone follows him, he will kill them. Dayna teleports him down to a forbidding, windy, woodland area, where an ominous heartbeat like sound fills the air. Tarrant and Cally also teleport down, slightly out of Avon's range, to follow him. Avon is monitored by a man and a woman, Toron (Richard Clifford) and Reeval (Heather Wright) as they track his progress. Avon makes his way to a small pyramid that opens to reveal a guide sphere (voiced by David Healy). The sphere orders that Avon identify himself and when he does, the sphere guides him to a large, futuristic bunker that leads down to an underground set of modern tunnels. Following Toron and Reeval, Cally and Tarrant watch helplessly as they are torn apart by a group of native creatures called Links. Determined to follow Avon, they make their way to the bunker, and warding off more angry Links, they too, descend to the tunnels. On the Liberator, though, a horrified Vila and Dayna have found that the ship has broken out in large, rapidly spreading patches of mould that seem to be eating away into every part. Zen has been affected by the fluid particles too, and is rapidly losing the ability to communicate or even function. Vila demands that Zen channels all energy into halting regeneration systems and looking in to finding a solution to stop the damage instead. Avon has made his way to a room full of advanced equipment - and a teleport bracelet. Activating a screen, it shows a familiar face - Blake. On a readout screen, Avon observes that Blake is responding well to some sort of treatment. Blake is alive. Leaving the room, Avon is ambushed by two guards and a woman called Kostos (Gillian McCutcheon). Avon is taken to a prison cell where he undergoes some sort of brain therapy. Snapping out of it, he escapes from the cell and makes his way to another part of the underground domain. In a room, wired up to various instruments, is Blake himself. Avon enters and a wry Blake tells hi

In Star Trek, by what nickname is Dr Leonard McCoy better known?

Star Trek McCoy, Leonard H. STARFLEET HISTORICAL FILE: McCoy, Leonard H. Mid-level Biography Brief Mode Full Name: Leonard H. McCoy, M.D. Year of birth: 2227 Parents: Mr. and Mrs. David McCoy Education: University of Mississippi, 2245-49; medical school, 2249-53 Marital status: Divorced Quarters: Original Enterprise : 3F 127 Starfleet Career Summary 2266 – As lieutenant commander, named chief medical officer under Capt. James T. Kirk 2270 – Retires to private medical practice 2271 – Returns to duty under Starfleet reactivation clause, promoted to commander as chief medical officer on refit U.S.S. Enterprise for V'Ger mission 2285 – As Academy medical faculty and training instructor, forced into Genesis mission; detained over leaks regarding secret Genesis Project 2286 – Charged but cleared with shipmates in theft of U.S.S. Enterprise 2287 – Returns to active Enterprise service under Kirk 2293 – Participated in Khitomer peace mission after liberation from Klingon Rura Penthe prison 2364 – As retired admiral, gave inspection tour of Galaxy-class U.S.S. Enterprise upon departure Nicknamed 'Bones' by his longtime friend and commander, Captain James T. Kirk, McCoy replaced Mark Piper as chief medical officer in 2266 on one of the ship's five-year missions but clearly became the most renowned of its CMOs. By that first year he had already won the commendations of the Legion of Honor, awards of valor, and was decorated by Starfleet Surgeons. His temperament was sometimes argumentative, a cynic's outer crustiness masking deep caring beneath the surface. His "old South" roots led to the old-time physician manner of doctoring, with a Southern accent that was most apparent when under stress. He distrusts transporter technology and travels by shuttlecraft whenever possible. McCoy was married once and later divorced, a relationship never discussed except for his one daughter, Joanna, who later graduated from nursing school. In the era before ship's counselors, McCoy played his role as psychologist expertly to the hilt — especially for the ship's two senior officers. As such an emotional watchdog he was not afraid to take on his captain, but it was his running battle of wits with Spock which became legendary. Spock showed his true feelings, though, as when inviting McCoy down to Vulcan for his "wedding" and in storing his katra with him before a known suicidal saving of their ship before the Genesis detonation. McCoy contracted the always-fatal xenopolycythemia and retired from Starfleet in 2369 to spend his remaining days on the asteroid ship, Yonada , and that world's high priestess, Natira — whom he soon married. By exploring Yonada's computers, Spock found a cure for xenopolycythemia and McCoy left Natira to return to the service. Earlier, McCoy had been infected with the strange 'aging' virus that infected the Gamma Hydra IV landing party. After the U.S.S. Enterprise's triumphant return from its five-year mission, McCoy retired from Starfleet, grew a beard and went into virtual seclusion with a rural practice, only to be forced back to duty by Kirk and Admiral Nogura when V'Ger threatened Earth in 2271. After that he continued through the years of renewed Enterprise service with Kirk until at least the Khitomer peace talks of 2293, having survived imprisonment with him on trumped-up charges at the Rura Penthe mining prison when he could not revive assassinated Klingon Chancellor Gorkon . Spock's deposit of his katra in 2285 had nearly driven McCoy crazy and landed him in Starfleet detention until the refusion took place, whereupon he delighted in the Vulcan's re-education process. As a retired admiral he remained active in his later years, serving at the age of 137 and shuttling aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in 2364 in his role of inspecting medical facilities on new starships. McCoy was an active practitioner well before his Starfleet days, of course. In 2253, some 12 years before he signed aboard with Kirk, he had developed a neural grafting procedure employing the creation of axonal pathways between the graft and a subject ba


In Buffy The Vampire Slayer, what is Buffy's surname?

The 10 Best 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Episodes Season 3, Episode 6 20th Century Fox 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' may have more gravitas than its goofy title would suggest, but it never shied away from getting downright silly when an episode called for it. Season three's 'Band Candy' is probably one of the goofiest episodes of the entire series, but it's also one of the funniest, showcasing the writing staff's tremendous wit and the range of the show's supporting cast. The episode deals with a dark enchantment forcing the adults of Sunnydale to revert to their teenage mentalities, transforming the likes of Giles, Mrs. Summers and Principal Snyder into hilarious alternate versions of themselves. As awesome as it is to see Anthony Stewart Head pull off a "bad boy" thing, the episode more than earns its place on its list for Armin Shimerman's sad, pathetic and totally endearing take on his normally cruel character. 9 Season 5, Episode 7 20th Century Fox Everyone loves an anti-hero, so its no surprise that James Marsden's Spike managed to gracefully transform from evil Big Bad to sympathetic and noble hero. However, the greatest gift the show gave the character was never losing sight of his grim origins. We love the character enough to try to forget that he's a mass murdering vampire, but the show always reminds us of what he is, letting him keep his edge. In season five's 'Fool For Love,' Buffy asks for his firsthand account of the two occasions where he murdered previous Vampire Slayers, resulting in flashbacks that manage to be simultaneously badass and horrifying. With characters who are immortal, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' was always free to play fast and loose with its timeline and it was never used to better effect than here. 8 Season 6, Episodes 21 and 22 20th Century Fox Season six of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is famously controversial among fans, with many viewers calling foul on the darker tone and more realistic and unsettling situations that Buffy and her friends face. However, all of the desperate and less fantastical horror eventually builds to one of the show's greatest arcs. Yep, we're talking about the episodes where Willow's girlfriend is murdered and she goes evil and attempts to destroy the world. Rather than a cackling supervillain, the show forces the characters (and us!) to confront a newly minted bad guy who was (and deep down, still is), the sweetest and gentlest character in the ensemble. The results may not be as epic as other season finales in scope, but it's about as emotionally devastating and moving as anything the show has ever done. Can anyone look at crayons the same way after Xander's big speech? 7 Season 4, Episode 10 20th Century Fox In addition to being one of the scariest episodes of TV ever produced, 'Hush' showcases everything that makes 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' one of the best shows of all time. It's a high concept idea anchored by genuinely likable characters. It's terrifying while maintaining its wicked sense of humor. It's built on a gimmick (No dialogue! Villains who look like they came out of a silent movie!) but it works overtime to actually move the plot forward. Few shows have the raw nerve to make a seemingly jokey episode pay off dividends in a season's overarching story, but 'Buffy' did it, did it often and did it better than anyone else. 6 Season 2, Episode 17 20th Century Fox 'Passion,' or as it's more commonly known among fans, "HOLY S**T! This is the one where Angel kills Jenny Calendar!", is the moment where 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' officially announced that it was done taking prisoners. From this point on, Joss Whedon and his team of geniuses made it clear that even the most lovable, fan-favorite characters had big X's on their chests and that they were all marked for death. Find us someone who was shocked or upset by the death of Sunnydale High's delightful computer lab teacher and we'll show you a liar. The "Evil Angel" arc in season two is one of the show's strongest stretches, but you don't get more gut-wrenching or memorable than this. 5 Season 7, Episode 22

In The X-files, what is the name of Mulder and Skully's assistant director?

Fox Mulder | X-Files Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia David Duchovny Fox William "Spooky" Mulder is a highly skilled FBI Special Agent who brought his often-criticized method of formulating unconventional theories to the X-files . ( TXF : " Pilot ", et al.) He was dismissed from the FBI in 2001 and, in 2002 , he went on the run from the law with his former partner, Dana Scully . ( TXF : " Vienen ", " The Truth ") In 2008 , he complied with a request from the FBI to assist, in an unofficial capacity, with the investigation of a single case. ( The X-Files: I Want to Believe ) In 2016 , he returned to the FBI and along with Scully they reopened the X-files and resumed their investigations into them. ( TXF : " My Struggle ") He was raised as the son of William and Teena Mulder , and brother of Samantha Mulder . Contents [ show ] Childhood and Teenage Years Fox Mulder was born on Friday, October 13, 1961 , in Chilmark , Martha's Vineyard . ( TXF : " Paper Clip ", " Dreamland II ") An early photograph of young Fox Mulder with his mother. His first words were " JFK ", when aged 11 months. ( TXF : " Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man ") He was four years old when his sister, Samantha, was born. ( TXF : " Paper Clip ") The Mulders had a summer house in Quonochontaug , Rhode Island , where the children often played on the grass while William Mulder, Fox's father, would go water-skiing with C.G.B. Spender on the water nearby. ( TXF : " Demons ", " Talitha Cumi ") The Mulders had a rope swing out in their backyard, but didn't have a modem, fax machine or a cell phone. ( TXF : " Paper Hearts ", " Home ") It can probably be assumed that the family didn't have those devices because the technology hadn't been invented yet. However, this assumption is not established nor disproved by episode information. From early in his youth, Fox wanted a peg leg. He gave the idea a lot of thought and eventually came to the belief that, if he had a peg leg or hooks for hands, other people might not expect him to achieve anything more than to simply keep on living, braving facing life with his disability. Fox never grew out of his boyhood desire for a peg leg and, in 1996 , he still suspected it would have its advantages. ( TXF : " Quagmire ") Young Fox Mulder had several nightmares from which he awakened in the middle of the night, thinking he was the only person left in the world. The loud crunching from his father eating sunflower seeds in the family's study reassured Fox that he was not alone. ( TXF : " Aubrey ") In Fox's childhood, he and his father were Indian Guides. ( TXF : " Detour ") One day when he was climbing a tree, Fox had an up-close encounter with a praying mantis . Although he initially thought the mantis was a leaf, he screamed when he realized the insect's true nature. He later remembered that his scream wasn't a "girlie" one, but of a person being "confronted by some before unknown monster that had no right existing on the same planet [he] inhabited." He was repulsed by the mantis and has hated insects ever since. ( TXF : " War of the Coprophages ") Mulder as a child, dressed as the fictional character Spock . Once in his youth, Fox dressed up as the fictional character Spock and his father recorded a home movie of him playing with his sister, Samantha. Fox made silly faces at the camera and was irritated when his fake ear fell off. ( TXF : " Dreamland II ") He and Samantha repeatedly played all-day pick-up games of baseball out on the vineyard, rode their bikes to the beach and ate bologna sandwiches. The only regular responsibility that they had was getting home in time for dinner. ( TXF : " Home ") Young Fox and Samantha pictured together. ( TXF : " Conduit ") Fox played right-field in baseball and owned a New York Nets replica basketball jersey. ( TXF : " Blood ", " Little Green Men ") At home, he enjoyed watching The Magician, a series that starred Bill Bixby. ( TXF : " Little Green Men ", " Paper Hearts ") He also liked playing Stratego with Samantha. ( TXF : " Little Green Men ", " Colony ", " Paper Hearts ") Fox and his siste

"One" is a popular song in which stage musical and movie of the same name.

Top 100 Showtunes - Top Music Lists - MyListPad.com Top 100 Showtunes Posted: May 10, 2014 at 6:08 pm   /   by musicalist   /   comments (15) tags: I like showtunes, in fact it’s pretty much the only kind of music I listen to. This has created a problem in my young life. All too often when meeting a peer and we engage in the traditional small talk (“How old are you?” “What school do you go to?”) It is never long before I am inevitably asked what kind of music I listen to. I say showtunes…..I get blank stares. To be fair, most people my age don’t even really know what I mean by “showtunes”, odds are they know nobody their age who actively listens to them. Even those who can identify showtunes as songs performed in stage plays can only conjure up an image of a straight laced hunk belting “Oh what a beautiful morning”…Fine song it may be…It isn’t an accurate example of my taste in music… Showtunes thrill me, they stick in my head, they teach me, they make me cry…The genre itself can vary within itself as much as country/western varies from rock music or even hip hop. The one thing that really distinguishes “my” music is that it tells a story. Beautiful stories, tragic stories, inspiring stories…and mostly love stories. There are characters, real people with real feelings that need to be told. The notes can be beautiful…But in the end they are there for the story. I find a sense of awe in the art of good storytelling, be it a great book or a great serial drama…And most indications are that storytelling was the first of the human arts. So when it comes to music, listening to different bands has never done it for me. The songs are too simple, too self contained, they lack context. So this is it, this is my passion…I decided to make a personal list of my 100 favorite showtunes. I did not expect this mini project to suck me in so much…But I now lay it before you. If you’re looking for the list of 100 classic Broadway songs, click here . Important Stuff (What to expect!) Truth be told, I didn’t think picking 100 songs would be that hard….I thought the painstaking part would be putting them in their proper order. My first task was to select my musicals…I went through several lists and picked about 85 shows. When it came time to nominate a few of my very favorite songs from these shows my initial attempt gave me about 350 songs. Needless to say that had to be trimmed. By the time I got down to about 175 songs it was painful to cut them. At first I wanted to be as representational as possible. Soon I found that this was not possible while being true to myself…So let it be known now…Nobody can claim to create an objective list of the best showtunes. This is my personal list. I know there are songs you think are too high on the list, too low on the list, and a million songs that didn’t make the list entirely. I know I will be crucified for listing no songs from “Phantom of the Opera” but listed three from “Jekyll and Hyde”. I would love to please everyone, but in my opinion not all shows are created equal. This brings us to a few important points about my list…Some things I have discovered about myself in this process… A) According to my list, I tend to much prefer modern Broadway to classic Broadway. Don’t get me wrong, Many of my favorite shows were made before the 60’s…I think “My Fair Lady”(1956) is still one of the best written shows ever. In the end however it must be said, musicals (unlike most of the arts) are getting finer with age. The older shows are very much products of their time, many many of them are classic certainly, and great in their own right…But vocally they were much more limiting. Men typically were baratone and the women were soprano…The characters were somewhat shallow and caricatures and stereotypes. The songs themselves weren’t used as much to progress the story. There were certainly shows here and there however that were way ahead of their time (Anything Goes). This is not to say that modern musicals don’t suffer from these very same problems, in fact new shows often have problems all their own…Such as bud

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in the Book of Revelations as representing Death, War, Famine, and Conquest, but Conquest has been changed in modern times. By what name is it more commonly known?

Seven Stories of Apocalypse: Legend of Four Horsemen Of Apocalypse Jumat, 22 Juli 2011 Legend of Four Horsemen Of Apocalypse The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in the last book of the New Testament of the Bible, called the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ to Saint John the Evangelist at 6:1-8. The chapter tells of a scroll in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals. Jesus Christ opens the first four of the seven seals, which summons forth the four beasts that ride on white, red, black, and pale horses which each symbolize Conquest, War, Famine and Death, respectively.[1] The Christian apocalyptic vision is that the four horsemen are to set a divine apocalypse upon the world as harbingers of the Last Judgment. White Horse I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. — Revelation 6:1-2˄ NIV Due to the above sentence (the most common translation into English), the White rider is referred to as Conquest[1] (not Pestilence, see below). The name could also be construed as "Victory," per the translation found in the Jerusalem Bible. He carries a bow (but no quiver), and wears a victor's crown. The exact nature and morality of the apocalyptic white rider is less clear. He has been argued to represent either evil or righteousness by multiple sources: [edit] As evil The other three horsemen represent evil, destructive forces, and given the unified way in which all four are introduced and described, it may be most likely that the first horseman is correspondingly evil. The German Stuttgarter Erklärungsbibel casts him as civil war and internal strife. One interpretation—which was held by evangelist Billy Graham—casts the rider of the white horse as the Antichrist, or a representation of false prophets, citing differences between the white horse in Revelation 6 and Jesus on the white Horse in Revelation 19.[2] In Revelation 19 Jesus has many crowns, but in Revelation 6 the rider has just one.[3]  As righteous Irenaeus, an influential Christian theologian of the 2nd century, was among the first to interpret this horseman as Christ himself, his white horse representing the successful spread of the gospel.[4] Various scholars have since supported this theory, citing the later appearance, in Revelation 19, of Christ mounted on a white horse, appearing as The Word of God. Furthermore, earlier in the New Testament, the Book of Mark indicates that the advance of the gospel may indeed precede and foretell the apocalypse.[4][5] The color white also tends to represent righteousness in the Bible, and Christ is in other instances portrayed as a conqueror.[4][5] However, opposing interpretations argue that the first of the four horsemen is probably not the horseman of Revelation 19. They are described in significantly different ways, and Christ's role as the Lamb who opens the seven seals makes it unlikely that he would also be one of the forces released by the seals.[4][5] Besides Christ, the horseman could represent the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was understood to have come upon the Apostles at Pentecost after Jesus' departure from earth. The appearance of the Lamb in Revelation 5 shows the triumphant arrival of Jesus in heaven, and the white horseman could represent the sending of the Holy Spirit by Jesus and the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.[6]  Red Horse When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come and see!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. — Revelation 6:3-4˄ NIV The rider of the second horse is often taken to represent War. His horse's color is red. In some translations, the color is specifically a "fiery" red. This color, as well as the rider's possession of a great sword, suggests blood


In which year was the Six Day War fought between Israel, Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

Syria Syria Others   Syria Syria, the most stridently hostile towards Israel of the Arab so-called "frontline" states in the years leading up to the 1967 war, was ruled by the Ba'ath party, which derived its ideology and institutions from the model of the European fascist states of the early twentieth century. The Ba'ath party was dominated by members of the Alawite religious minority (12% of the Syrian population) and maintained a shrill anti-Israel stance in large part to divert the discontent of Syria's Sunni majority. The president of Syria at the time was Nur al-Din al-Atasi, but future dictator Hafez Assad also wielded much influence as the defense minister and head of the air force. Syria was closely aligned with the Soviet Union and was a recipient of extensive Soviet aid. In 1967, Syria had a population of 5.7 million. Its army numbered 100,000, and it possessed 550 tanks and 136 combat airplanes. Prior to the Six Day War, a low intensity conflict festered between Israel and Syria. In 1964, a Syrian attempt to divert the headwaters of the Jordan River was halted by Israeli aerial bombardment. Syria also shelled Israeli communities from positions in the Golan Heights and allowed its territory to be used as a staging area for incursions into Israel by Palestinian terrorists. On May 13, 1967, the Soviet Union relayed false information to Syria and Egypt that Israeli forces were massing on Syria's border. This prompted Syria and Egypt to activate their military pact and figured in Nasser's subsequent steps towards war. Syrian planes bombed northern Israel on June 5, the first day of the war. The following day, Syrian forces attacked the Israeli communities of Tel Dan, Kibbutz Shaar Yashuv and Ashmura but were repelled by Israeli forces. The Syrian air force unsuccessfully attempted to bomb oil refineries in Haifa. Israeli forces counter-attacked on July 9 and 10, driving the Syrians from the Golan Heights and bringing the Six Day War to a close. Estimated Syrian losses were 2500 killed, 5000 wounded, and 591 taken prisoner.   Asad, The Sphinx of Damascus, Moshe Maoz, 1988 Modern Syria, Moshe Maoz, 1999 Statistical Abstract / Central Bureau of Statistics, Syrian Arab Republic 1965-1998

The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" ( Kevin Spacey ) sermonizes to Detectives Somerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer's terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured but jaded Somerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer's modus operandi while the bright but green and impulsive Detective Mills (Pitt) scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer...

The 1956 movie the Ten Commandments starred Charlton Heston as Moses, but which Hollywood star played his adopted brother Rameses II.

Super Reviewer ½ The Ten Commandments is certainly extravagant. It was the most expensive film ever made up to that point. All exterior shots were actually photographed on location in Egypt. It employs a cast of thousands with 70 speaking parts. In an era where they really had to hire all of those people you see in the background, this was truly an epic undertaking. No computer animation. This is all practical effects. In a surprising bit of restraint, only 3 of the 10 plagues are depicted: the water turning into blood, thunder & hail storm, and killing of the oldest sons. The latter features an Angel of Death imagined as a thick, green mist that creeps through the streets claiming the lives of Egypt's firstborn sons. As memorable as that was, it pales next to one of the greatest special effects sequences of all time that follows the Exodus of over 12,000 extra. The production culminates in Moses' parting of the Red Sea in the climatic scene. Even now it's a visual feat to be admired. It was nominated for 7 Academy Awards winning 1 for Best Visual Effects. To this day, the movie is the sixth most successful ever when adjusting for inflation. It remains the yardstick by which all biblical stories must be measured.. fastfilmreviews.com Mark Hobin Super Reviewer This was Cecil B.De Mille's last theatrical feature,with a running time of nearly four hours(basically the running time of 3 hours and 40 minutes which includes the opening overture,intermission, and exit music),this stunning and most extravagant blockbuster is full of absurdities and vulgarities,but in all aspects this star-studded widescreen Vista Vision and Technicolor spectacle is ravishing,and De Mille's form of showmanship,which includes his own narration,never falters. Charlton Heston might be said to achieve his apotheosis as Moses-unless one decides that it's Moses who's achieving his apotheosis as Heston-and most of the other in the star-studded epic which is based on the Holy Scriptures are comparably mythic. Simultaneously ludicrous and splendid,this epic is driven by the sort of personal conviction one almost never finds is subsequent Hollywood monoliths. The scenes with includes the parting of the Red Sea is one of the best special effects ever made. With its all-star cast that includes Yul Brenner(Rameses), Anne Baxter(Nefertiri), with Yvonne De Carlo(Sephora), Debra Paget(Lilia), John Derek(Joshua), Edward G. Robinson(Dathan), Cedric Hardwicke(Sethi), Nina Foch(Bithiah), Martha Scott(Yochabel). The film was nominated for an impressive Nine Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director(but lost the Best Picture Oscar to "Around The World in 80 Days"),and won the Oscar for Best Special Effects(John P. Fulton,with some of the effects coming from the Disney studios). If you want to see "The Ten Commandments",my advice is not to see this on television(since seeing it on TV around Easter time doesn't do any justice,or for that manner seeing it on DVD),but see this movie the way it was suppose to be seen.....in a movie theater equipped with full 70MM projection and experience it in full six-track stereophonic sound. Mister Caple Super Reviewer A ceremonious 4 star. Watching the Red-sea parting sequence, you just cant stop wondering how they achieved that, with the kind of technology they had in the 50s.

Which James Bond film was the first to be given a non PG rating by the British Board of Film Classification?

The X Rated James Bond Scenes | FilmNav LOGIN The X Rated James Bond Scenes With anticipation now high on the upcoming new James Bond film Skyfall starring Daniel Craig, will the completed film survive without any cuts? There is a long history with the Bond films and the British Board of Film Classification, and listed below are just some of the scenes that the censors didn’t want you to see. Producers of the 007 movies had to cut scenes, redub dialogue and rewrite scripts because the British Board of Film Classification objected to some of the spy’s more risque exploits. Censors insisted on 13 separate cuts from Sean Connery’s 2nd Bond film, 1963’s From Russia With Love, before they would grant it a coveted A rating – allowing children to see the film if accompanied by an adult. Demands included the removal of a nude shot of Russian heroine Tatiana Romanova, played by Italian starlet Daniela Bianchi, walking towards a bed.   Terence Young directs Sean Connery and Daniela Bianchi in the controversial From Russia with Love scene   Seven of the cuts involved what the censors described as ‘double entendre dialogue’. A line where Romanova asks Bond, ‘Was I as exciting as all those Western girls?’ was toned down by replacing the word ‘was’ with ‘am’. And a shot in a compartment on the Orient Express when Bond lowers a blind and tells Romanova ‘two hours should straighten this out’ was removed altogether. During the making of Thunderball in 1965, starring Connery, the BBFC wrote to co-producer Harry Saltzman warning that unless changes were made to the script, it could end up with an X certificate. The letter outlined 32 scenes which could be problematic because of ‘sex and sadism’, including love scenes between Bond and physiotherapist Patricia Fearing, played by British actress Molly Peters. The BBFC warned that Fearing’s costumes amounted to ‘semi-nudity’ and raised concerns about a scene in which Bond massaged her back with a mink glove. The scene was dropped from the British version. The censor also said there could be ‘a lot of trouble’ about a ‘gratuitous’ sex scene where Bond makes love to enemy agent Fiona Volpe, played by Luciana Paluzzi, and then tells her he did it for ‘King and country’. The scene appears to have survived, however, after being toned down.   The scene in Thunderball which was originally cut from it’s UK release   In 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, starring George Lazenby, the BBFC objected when a flirtatious dinner-party guest (played by British actress Angela Scoular) wrote her room number on 007′s bare inner thigh under the dinner table. Bond was originally supposed to say ‘I have a slight stiffness’ but the line was redubbed with the extra words ‘in my shoulder’ so that the erotically charged scene could remain. The edit persisted into all home video releases.   Lazenby’s `stiffness coming on’   In 1971, Sean Connery returned in Diamonds Are Forever, following Lazenby bowing out after only outing, and this film would suffer several cuts, including a scene of a man on fire, that was cut back on the grounds that it was too harrowing. Footage of the ablaze Mr Kidd running across the deck screaming and climbing up onto the railing, as he throws himself overboard was removed, leaving just the shot of him hitting the water. When shown on TV, this scene is usually cut similarly.   The cut scene from Diamonds Are Forever (1971)   In 1985′s A View To A Kill, Roger Moore’s last film as Bond suffered the most cuts during his tenure. The BBFC requested that a heavy crotch kick and a double neck chop, both given by Bond, be removed from the film to get a PG rating. These cuts occur during the fight in the hidden room under Zoran’s stable. If you watch the scene closely, or even frame by frame, the scene is somewhat sloppy in a couple of places. When the film was edited, the pre-cut version was submitted for a formal rating. During this stage of classification, the Board asked for an alteration to the opening titles on a shot of an almost nude woman. Its hard to speculate which woman this refers to, b


Which Actor to play James Bond is the only one mentioned in text by Ian Flemming?

Actors Who Played James Bond - Britain ExplorerBritain Explorer Actors Who Played James Bond By: admin Comments: Comments Off on Actors Who Played James Bond Connery was the first actor to play James Bond in a full length feature film based on the novels by Ian Fleming and he took the world by storm. The movie “Dr No” may seem a little dated in today’s era of computer-generated special effects but in 1962 the scale and glamour of the production was literally jaw dropping. Audiences couldn’t believe their eyes and the plot based on super villains, secret weapons, global domination and exotic locations played to the phobias and fantasies of the time which were being stimulated by both the cold war and the rise of affordable international travel. With his dark good looks and deep voice Connery was the perfect James bond Alpha male; rough, tough and handsome with a hint wry good manners and an air of global sophistication. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him. Connery defined the role and made James Bond an icon of British cool. However, by the end of the fifth film – ‘You only Live Twice’ – he’d had enough and handed over the role to George Lazenby in 1969. At the time audiences and the producers were less than impressed with Lazenby and Connery was later persuaded to make two more films – only one of which was for Eon, the mainstream producers of the Bond films. Connery was 31 in 1961 when he made his first James bond film and 52 when he made his last in 1982. GEORGE LAZENBY ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ was released in 1969 and starred George Lazenby – an Australian model turned actor. In retrospect, Lazenby actually played a very reasonable Bond but many felt he simply couldn’t measure up to Sean Connery . Audience loyalty meant that Bond was Connery and Connery was Bond; anything else was simply unthinkable. The media supported public opinion and Lazenby received mediocre reviews. Even though they were aware of this issue, the Studio offered Lazenby the chance to act in a further seven Bond films. Lazenby then received some bad management advice and was persuaded by his agent Ronan O’Rahilly that the super-masculine Bond phenomena had run its course. This situation was aggravated by the relatively poor relationship that Lazenby had experienced with Peter R. Hunt the film director of OHMSS. He turned down the opportunity and Connery was offered a small fortune to return as Bond. Modern day film critics now believe that Lazenby’s portrayal of Bond was far better than was appreciated at the time. His ability to be both a tough secret agent and at the same time a sensitive man who falls in love has never been repeated in the Bond series of films. Unfortunately and unfairly, George Lazenby became known as the actor that couldn’t hack it as Bond. A reputation that proceeded to haunt him for the remainder of his career. ROGER MOORE When Sean Connery hung up his Walther PPK pistol again in 1971 it was Roger Moore who would pick up it up although he then quickly switched it for the more powerful and showy Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum. Moore’s reputation as a suave action hero had already been established by two excellent and long-running television series: The Saint and the Persuaders. Moore was largely accepted by a new generation of younger cinema goers looking for a more humorous and ‘with it’ character. One of the questions of asked in many pub quizzes is: “Who played James Bond in Live and Let Die?” The answer is naturally – Roger Moore. Live and Let Die changed the formula. Moore didn’t try to play the part as Connery had, instead he played James Bond as a charming, tongue-in-cheek, pun cracking, womanising playboy with a debonair devil-may-care attitude. This was perfect timing for the audiences of the liberated 1970’s and so was the story line. The Cold War was out and Voodoo was in as were funky nightclubs, fashion and sexually aggressive women. Moore was equally praised and criticised for his role as James Bond. ‘Who’s you favourite Bond – Moore or Connery?’ This quickly became a common debate that q


Which James Bond Theme was the first to be nominated for an academy award for best original song?

Adele to perform 'Skyfall' theme at Academy Awards - CNN.com Adele to perform 'Skyfall' theme at Academy Awards By Anthony Breznican, EW Updated 9:33 AM ET, Wed January 23, 2013 Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. Adele, seen here on the red carpet at last year's Grammy Awards, is set to perform at the Oscars. Story highlights Adele's Bond theme appears to be the front runner for an original song Oscar Producers have confirmed that she will perform Oscars ceremony will feature a special Bond tribute It's always a question: Will the Academy Awards telecast feature performances of the Original Song nominees? Sometimes the answer is no, but this time ... it's looking like a yes. Producers have indicated the frontrunner in that category, Adele's massively popular theme to the James Bond thriller Skyfall, will be performed live during the Feb. 24 ceremony. While the other nominees weren't mentioned in the announcement, it's unlikely one nominee will be allowed to perform unless the other contenders are welcome too — especially since one of them is written by Oscar host Seth MacFarlane and another could be performed by Hugh Jackman. Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron confirmed Adele's participation this morning: "She is currently one of the most successful recording artists in the world, and we believe that her performance of Skyfall will be an exciting Oscar moment for audiences watching at the Dolby Theatre and on television screens around the world." JUST WATCHED EW special coverage: Oscars 2013 The song is the first 007 theme to be nominated for an Oscar since 1981′s For Your Eyes Only. Previous Bond movies to have song nominees are 1977′s The Spy Who Loved Me and 1973′s Live and Let Die, although none has ever won. This ceremony will feature a special tribute to James Bond , as part of the super-spy film series' 50th anniversary, and Skyfall also has four other nominations: cinematography, score, sound editing, and sound mixing. The Oscars will mark the first time Adele, who co-wrote the Skyfall theme with collaborator Paul Epworth, has ever performed the song live. "It's an honour to be nominated and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again," Adele said in a statement. "It's something I've never experienced and probably only ever will once!" Although MacFarlane is nominated as one of the co-writers of Everybody Needs a Friend from Ted, it was performed by Norah Jones — another potential draw for audiences. And Suddenly, the new song added to the musical Les Miserables, was performed by Jackman, who has a Best Actor nomination for the role, as well as a history of turning up on the Academy Awards stage .

With the Exception of the reccuring featured cast who has appeared in the most James Bond films?

Shane Rimmer — The Movie Database (TMDb) Read More From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Shane Rimmer (born 1932) is a Canadian actor and voice actor, probably best known as the voice of Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds. He has mostly performed in supporting roles, frequently in films and television series filmed in the United Kingdom, having relocated to England in the late 1950s. His appearances include roles in such widely-known films as Dr. Strangelove (1964), Rollerball (1975), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Gandhi (1982), Out of Africa (1985) and Crusoe (1989). More recently he has appeared in Spy Game (2001), and Batman Begins (2005). In the earlier years of his career, there were several uncredited performances, among others for films such as You Only Live Twice (1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Star Wars (1977) and Superman II (1980). With the exception of recurring featured cast members he has appeared in more James Bond films than any other actor. Rimmer has a long association with Gerry Anderson. Thunderbirds fans may recognize him as the voice actor behind the character Scott Tracy. He drafted the plotline for the penultimate episode, "Ricochet", which was later turned into a script by Tony Barwick. He also wrote scripts and provided uncredited voices for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90 and The Secret Service, has made appearances in episodes of Anderson's live-action UFO and The Protectors, has and provided voices for Space: 1999 and has guest-starred in the episode "Space Brain". In later years he starred in the unscreened pilot Space Police (later made into a series with other actors and titled Space Precinct) and provided the voice for Anderson's stop-motion gumshoe Dick Spanner, P.I.. Rimmer and fellow Anderson actor Ed Bishop often joked about how often their professional paths crossed and termed themselves "Rent-a-Yanks". They appeared together as NASA operatives in the opening of You Only Live Twice and as USN sailors in The Bedford Incident as well as touring together in live stage shows, including "Death of a Salesman" in the 1990s. He also appeared in Doctor Who in 1966, and in Coronation Street as two different characters: Joe Donnelli (1968–1970), who held Stan Ogden hostage in No. 5 before committing suicide, and Malcolm Reid (1988), father of Audrey Roberts' son Stephen. He has made many guest appearances in British television series for ITV, including in Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected, and ITC's The Persuaders!. In 1989 Rimmer was reunited with former Gerry Anderson actors Ed Bishop and Matt Zimmerman in the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study In Scarlet. Rimmer and Bishop also appeared in the BBC drama-documentary Hiroshima completed not long after Bishop's death in 2005.

How many actors in the James Bond Films have played both a good guy and a Bad Guy?

10 The actors who have played James Bond 10 The actors who have played James Bond Description This article is from the James Bond FAQ , by Michael Reed reed55@core.com with numerous contributions by   others. 10 The actors who have played James Bond A few talented men have gotten to portray James Bond. We start with the EON five, and then the others as well. Note that Roger Moore is older than Sean Connery. A - Sean Connery, born August 25, 1930. Played Bond from 1962-1967, 1971, 1983. A Scot with minimal credits to his name in 1962, he was handpicked by Broccoli and Saltzman to star in the first Bond motion picture. There is less dialogue for Connery than in future turns, and his name was not marketed particularly heavily in the release of either of the first two films. But Connery proved to be the perfect person to assimilate Fleming's cold warrior on screen. He was tough yet suave, strong yet smooth, and able to appeal to both ticket buying genders. By the time of his fifth outing, "You Only Live Twice", the marketing machine said he "IS James Bond". While true in the public's mind, Connery tired of the constant pressure of the role and the potential to suffocate any other projects he wanted to be involved in. He left after 1967 and declined to appear in the sixth release. After a lackluster box office performance, EON prodded and finally got their star back for the seventh outing, "Diamonds Are Forever". Then Connery left once more, stating he would "never again" portray the superspy that he had made a phenomenon. But he did come back for a reprise, in 1983's "Never Say Never Again". For the story on that film, see Brief #1, Section #10, E "Thunderball / Never Say Never Again". Connery has said in interviews that he is proudest of "From Russia With Love". However, he made a severe and nasty break from the Broccoli clan and any thought of him returning to the EON series in any capacity is a pipe dream. Connery won an Academy Award for his supporting role in 1987's "The Untouchables". He is still an A-list box office draw to date and is also staunch in his support of his native Scotland. While he did not look like Ian Fleming's written character on the surface, he was impressive enough to earn the ultimate praise. Fleming himself had his character assume some of Connery's roots in "You Only Live Twice". He told IMBD.com in 2002 that there is no chance of him returning to EON's series, particularly not as a villain. "Absolutely no way - I could never be an enemy of James Bond." B - George Lazenby, born September 5, 1939. Played Bond in 1969. The only Bond star to make a solitary film appearance, George Lazenby won the role after a worldwide search. He was actually an Australian wrestler, car salesman and model who excelled in physical presence and impressed the producers. But he was not prepared for the glimmer of fame and fortune that came with the part. He was cast in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", one of Fleming's most detailed and harrowing novels. It required more characterization than the typical Bond fare and Lazenby faced an uphill battle to achieve it. Director Peter Hunt ignored him at one point, though it was an unwitting mistake. During filming of some emotional scenes, Hunt wanted his star to relate to the isolation Bond would be feeling so he left him alone. Lazenby did not take this as direction or method of acting, but rather a lack of respect by the director. He complained publicly and friction grew between the men, which was duly noted by the press. He also had trouble with female lead Diana Rigg. The most famous example of tension between them, however, is actually a myth. Before a kissing scene, Rigg was heard telling Lazenby at lunch that she was having "garlic with [her] pate." She meant it to be humorous but it was easily taken out-of-context given Lazenby's tenuous relationship with Hunt and EON. While in later years he did complain about Rigg's ego, the Bond actor never validated this story. What did him in, in the end, was as much box-office failure as his own immaturity. The fans were
