Dennis or Denis is either the first or last name of a male derived from the Greco-Roman name Dionysius meaning the Thracian god of wine, which is ultimately derived from the Greek Dios (Διός, "of Zeus") combined with Nysos or Nysa (Νυσα), where the young god was raised.[citation needed]. Dionysus (or Dionysos; also known as Bacchus in Roman mythology and associated with the Italic Liber), the Thracian god of wine, represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficent influences. He is viewed as the promoter of civilization, a lawgiver, and lover of peace — as well as the patron deity of both agriculture and the theater.
Dionysus is a god of mystery religious rites, such as those practiced in honor of Demeter and Persephone at Eleusis near Athens. In the Thracian mysteries, he wears the "bassaris" or fox-skin, symbolizing new life. (See also Maenads)
The mediaeval Latinised form of the Anglo-Norman surname Le Denys was Dacus, the adjectival form of Dacia, meaning "Danish" or "The Dane". The name became modernised as Denys, then later as Dennis.

Plot
At the age of 10, Australian-born Andi Gibson had what she describes as a close encounter with a flying saucer. Naturally, everyone assumed she was bonkers. That is until one notable evening, 17 years later, when an airborne extra-terrestrial armada launches a nation-wide assault on Andi's home country and at the same time, for unspecified reasons, kidnaps her mother. To add to the debacle, it seems the other nations of the world are far too insulted by their exclusion from the attack to come to Australia's aid. Now it is up to Andi, her hypochondriac brother Elliot, retired boxer cousin Keith and documentary filmmaker friend Cam to stop the attack and rescue Andi's mum. Enlisting the help of Andi's equal-parts mysterious and cringeworthy father, the gang must battle car-chasing spaceships, martial-arts aliens, giant killer robots and, perhaps most frighteningly, a deluge of family secrets in their fight to save Australia. Bloody hell, this is gonna be a long night.

The only difference between you and them is a coupla drinks
Jim Lahey: The liquor are calling the shots Randy.
Jim Lahey: Randy, I've decided to lay off the food for a bit, and go on the booze.
Bubbles: Something's not right... something's fucky.
Bubbles: It's not the best way to be covert, to be honest, to have a fucking camera crew following you around. Think we would have figured that out by now.

Plot
Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' long battle with the U.S. automobile industry, Flash of Genius tells the tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win. The Kearns were a typical 1960s Detroit family, trying to live their version of the American Dream. Local university professor Bob married teacher Phyllis and, by their mid-thirties, had six kids who brought them a hectic but satisfying Midwestern existence. When Bob invents a device that would eventually be used by every car in the world, the Kearns think they have struck gold. But their aspirations are dashed after the auto giants who embraced Bob's creation unceremoniously shunned the man who invented it. Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of litigation, Bob is haunted by what was done to his family and their future. He becomes a man obsessed with justice and the conviction that his life's work-or for that matter, anyone's work-be acknowledged by those who stood to benefit. And while paying the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity, this everyday David will try the unthinkable: to bring Goliath to his knees.

Corporations have time, money, and power on their side. All Bob Kearns had was the truth.
They had the power. He had the truth.
Based on a true story.
Bob Kearns: Whatever happened to this little thing called justice we talked about?::Gregory Lawson: This is justice, Bob. This is how justice is dispensed in this country - with checkbooks. There are no brass bands, you know, there are no ticker tape parades, the mayor doesn't give you the key to the city and call you a hero. You get a check, and that check makes the lives of you and your family a little easier... a little more pleasant. It's that simple.

His friend Dennis invites him on a getaway to Palm Springs where other friends join them. In the course of the next few days, Dennis and Ethan's relationship goes through several changes as one plays the other, as feelings get hurt, and as Ethan witnesses other men's difficulties with jealousy, commitment, and honesty.

Deeper waters flowed, recently it showed
Tryin' to cover your head
Tryin' to frighten you, tryin' to fight with you
Really gettin' you scared
But don't you worry, you love of mine
Pretty soon it will all be fine and we'll just go on
Higher hills to climb, climbin' all the time
Tryin' to find a way through
Fallin' down again, on the ground again
Wonderin' what you can do
But don't you worry, you love of ours
They look like weeds, but they're really flowers
And they'll soon be gone
You won't stand up, you won't sit down
Your head's a mile above the ground
And though we tend to scold you now
I couldn't start to tell you how, we couldn't start to tell you how
There's just no way to say how much we love you
You, little Dennis, you, you're full of new surprise
Love you, you little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes, you're a prize
It could be bad, it could be worse, you're taking out your mother's purse
And though you cried when you got told
The money there was for the old to keep their dogs from getting cold
The only thing that can't be sold is love
You, little Dennis, you, you're full of new surprise
Love you you, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes
Will you pick up your toys?
Will you be a good boy?
Will you please, please?
There's a way, there's a way, if you'll play, if you'll stay
There's a way through, there's a way to, take away blue, take away blue
There's a way, there's a way, if you'll play, if you'll stay
There's a way through, there's a way to, take away blue, take away blue
There's a way, there's a way, if you'll play, if you'll stay
