You're a jackass. I'm at work and I can't think of the movies I know words to. My head is filled with projects that I'm currenty working on so my list of movies I've memorized isn't exactly on the "front burner", per se. Sorry if that doesn't gel with you, but I have a life.

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.

He'd probably owned countless droids in his life. Why would he care about this particular one? Especially when he never had any reason to believe he'd owned it before? Or Hell, maybe he DID recognize it and chalked it up to Galactic Weird Shit and went on with life.

Or, perhaps, in an attempt to further hide the truth about Luke's past, Owen just suppressed his recognition of the droid's identity entirely. It is obvious that Owen and Beru know the truth about Anakin. Why the hell would you want his kid to find out anything about that horrible fate and risk Luke going down the same path. If I was playing the role of legal guardian to my brother's kid and my brother had lived Anakin's life, I would not be telling that kid anything. All Luke knew was that his father was a famed starfighter pilot. Why blow the illusion for the kid? Eventually, when the time is right, you will tell him the truth. However, it just seems that Owen and Beru waited too long. Once you've moved beyond the "right time", it's hard to go back. And, then, well, they were killed. Kinda hard to tell him from beyond the grave.

But closeups reveal that you could see her aerola (sp?) and that was actually a ring around her nipple which you could see. Probably wouldn't have been that big a deal if VCRs were the only thing that could record (the still image would likely have been too fuzzy). However, this was the most rewound TiVo event in history. Being a digital recorder, people could get a relatively clear still image, grab a capture, enlarge, and post on the web. I don't think it should be the big deal it was, but this is how they're thinking, I think.

Did you ever read the joke e-mail regarding Bush's Axis of Evil? About how all these other countries started forming their own triumvirates in response? Great stuff. It's posted below...

Quote
BEIJING (Reuters) - Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be way eviler than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil... we're the best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil.

"They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is wicked cool."

THE AXIS PANDEMIC

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.

Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the Axis of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the Axis of Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable.

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America, while Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick.

"That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.
