It was his knee, true. But for so long there was debate because it looked like it was sheathed in white cloth with polka dots implying boxer shorts. It took a while for the dust to settle on that one.

Sean, go to snopes to find out about S-E-X in the Lion King. I think I may actually have to skip Aladdin for 2 reasons:
1) I don't know how well it's going to hold up after 12 years; the humour is very topical
2) I was appalled by the PC editing that occurred to appease the Arab Anti-Defamation League

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

BTW, I picked up the 35th Anniversary Edition of Planet of the Apes yesterday, and at the same time got The Virgin Suicides... for $6.88. Sometimes Wal-Mart amazes me.

Snopes is a great site. I check it weekly in the What's New section.

Remind me what changes were made to Aladdin.

Oh, and I agree about the timeliness of the jokes in Aladdin. That's one of the problems with Robin Williams just having a free for all. He tends to go on about timely subject matter and it becomes dated within about six months. I'll still get it though since I remember what was going on when the movie came out. It'll probably be over my kids' heads when they see it (pending actually having kids, that is).

I was about to buy Virgin Suicides at Circuit City for $9.88 thinking that was a good deal. Glad I didn't. Gotta head to Wal-Mart now.

Not til my wife gets done with school in ~5 years. She doesn't want to have to deal with the early stages of infancy while studying for exams and writing papers. She knows I'm there, but money would be such an issue.

I'm assuming VS would be $5.88 at WalMart stateside since that's what their bargain bin movies usually wind up being.

I'm so ticked that I haven't been able to find Virgin Suicides at Wal-Mart. Was this the thread where we were discussing how inexpensive that DVD is?

Yes, it was. If I find another copy. I'll pick it up for you; the Canadian and US versions are identical (no bilingual packaging), but there is a French audio track.
