Close, it’s the one that says “Search this thread,” Oh, wait. Guests don’t get access to the spiffy search tools. That’s ok. When you register, all will become clear. . .

Well, I’ve sadly not been privvy to the joy of this film, but I do look at the box covers in the local Hollywood video and I think that Brendan Fraser might be in that one, or I might be thinking of _Monkeybones_… does anyone know for sure? Also, should I rent this for my kids if I have to watch it too?

> I so agree with you ShibbOleth. It is definitely not a children’s movie. But then again parenthood, in general isn’t for kids or the weak of stomach too. LOL. But it has such a great cast. I really like _Rick Moranis_ in it.

LOVE this movie. Officer: “Okay, how did this happen?” Martin: “Show him, honey” 😛

Brendan Fraser, huh? Aside from him in a butt flap, about the only redeemable thing about **George of the Jungle** was the cast.

Oh. And hi, **cryptic\_j**. Stick around. It’s fun here.

Rats, rats, rats, rats. I even got all the coding right on that post, and everything. Okay. Um. Dave Foley.

Whoa, whoa.

_Looney Tunes_ -\>  
**Brendan Fraser** -\>  
_George of the Jungle_.

HATED that movie. DESPISE Brendan Fraser. DON’T KNOW anyone else to play.  
Unrelated tidbit: I was absolutely certain that Gene Wilder was in _Blow_. But it was Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Reubens that I was thinking of. True story!

Nice unexpected choice! Would it be in bad taste to say “Penthouse”? LOL. OK then let’s go with _Soul Food._ It’s the only other movie that she is in, that I can come up with off the top of my head.

I think she was in _Eraser_. Otherwise I know she did some voice work for _Pocohontas_, but we don’t want to go there. And of course the famous b&w pics she did for Penthouse with George Burns.

I think I got in first ShibbOleth. And they weren’t nudie pic, they were “art photos” LOL
