1.a. Liar Liar 2: Pants On Fire (starring Denzel Washington)
1.b. The Cable Guy 2: Broderick gets Dish Network
(or maybe you meant Bruce Almighty and Dumb & Dumber)
2. Well, she already did everything controversial in the Old Testament. I guess crucifixion is the main thing people would get mad about, so that's my guess. Unless she was literally walking on (hot) water.
3. After Nixon, before Carter. Carter started in 1977, so that's the end of Ford's term. Someone else can fill in the starting date. You should have made it tricky and asked when he was ELECTED president. :)
4. Texas?
5. No idea. BTW, I joined my first ever Fantasy Football league this weekend, so maybe I'll know that kind of stuff in the future.

BTW, I just submitted my free replacement battery order for the Lat D800. Funny thing is that I've almost always used the spare (unaffected) battery because I felt that the native one (affected) was a tad wonky at times. It seems my premonition was correct...

I actually hadn't considered 'Evan Almighty' (with Steve Carell). That will be the third sequel to be made without Carrey. -Or should I say spin-off--is it really a sequel if none of the main characters return?
I still need to check my spare battery for recall. Although the number on my main battery was on the list, they said it was fine.

I had forgotten about The Mask. I guess Evan Almighty still has Morgan Freeman as God, so it will be a sequel in the same way the second two "Oh God!" movies were sequels.
