> [@Scribble](#): > > No, I don’t. But from the way you asked, I assume it’s something related to doin’ the nasty. It does indeed. What cracks me up isn’t so much that it’s taboo {it’s less strong than “fuck”}, but that it’s totally boorish: **I Root** is such an evocative title. **All Quit On The Western Front** : The ultimate anti-war movie, where everyone lays down their arms. **Catch 2** : The second in the popular and long-running series. **True Git** : John Wayne could be a complete arsehole at times. ---

Again, it’s a shame we can’t _add_ a letter to get such films as **Lilo and Stritch** , in which a Hawaiian girl discovers her pet dog is really an aged, chatty Broadway actress… So many good films. I can’t think of many, all I’ve got is stuff like… **The Inredibles** - Famed superhero costume designer Edna Mode narrates a documentary on superheroes that wear red costumes. **The DA After Tomorrow** - A soon-to-be attorney spends his last day of non-court-related freedom in the frozen confines of post-global-warming New York City. **Shak Tale** - It be a hip-hop comedy about buildin’ a houz, yo. **King Kog** - A giant gear wreaks havoc in New York. **Race for Your Lie, Charlie Brown** - You blockhead! You’d better get that “I’m a wealthy millionaire” letter back from the little red-haired girl before she reads it and thinks you’re something you aren’t! ---

And then Bert returns to his apartment to find his roommate dead, but has to pretend the corpse is “just resting” when the other Muppets visit during **Weekend at Ernie’s**. **Lot Weekend** : An alcoholic used-car salesman hallucinates that he’s back in the 1920’s, setting up the sequel… **Reo Man** , in which the salesman believes the dealership’s stock of vehicles is being repossessed by Ransom E. Olds himself. But our hero then cleans up his act, and in the next film in the series… **Seven Rides for Seven Brothers** , each of a group of male septuplets is able to purchase a sedan, convertible, or van that suits his personality! And then crazy Cher comes in looking for a pickup that she can drive on the Earth’s natiural satellite in **Moontruck** , the fourth and (so far) final film in the series! ---
