If you can guess which two I’m talking about, you can save yourself $8.50 a pop!

1. He dies.
2. She dies.

#2 is of course, Dancer in the Dark…  
#1- um,um…I suck.

I must hang my head in shame, for i can’t even think of any current movies…when did I get so old that almost all of my ties to pop culture have been severed?

William Shatner??? Hopefully this will put an end to his feeble attempts at commercials…

I don’t know about you guys, but shatner’s signing/rapping/spoken word crap has actually influenced me to avoid [priceline.com](http://priceline.com)

I do, however, remember the name…

Ever notice how a lot of parents die in disney movies? Does any one else find that disturbing?

I believe that 101 Dalmations is one of only two animated Disney movies with both parents intact. Can’t think of the other…

Obviously a reference to the [DarkWave](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=43012) Film Festival. Well, I’m still going damn it. It’s not just about the destination, it’s the journey that counts.

You’re forgetting _Mulan_, **xizor**. And how about _Lion King II_? Both of the main character/heroine’s (I forget her name) parents (Simba and Nala) are alive.

And would _Mary Poppins_ count? Disney movie, but not a cartoon.

Simba’s dad dies and his spirit goes up into the sky and spells s-e-x.

But that’s in _The Lion King_, not _The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride_.

1. _Pay It Forward_.

…and the kid would get it, too.
