Nothing says family fun like sex, guns and euthanasia

Walking around toys r us with the Nut yesterday I also happened to wander over to the movie section. Somewhere, in my dreams, I find a copy of the Lion King, even though I know that Disney, in a marketing ploy, has shoved the damn thing, kicking and screaming (or roaring and scratching) into it’s special “vault” where the movies mysteriously disappear for seven year. After seven year, they magically return with “new edition” that you too can own for an arm and a leg to keep your little one singing “Hakuna Matta” for days to come….

I digress…

I always hope to find some hidden copy everywhere I look. After all, Nut’s “time to change the diaper” song is Hakuna Matta (Which is reason 43 my husband is an idiot by the way: no matter how many &$**^%*^$ times I tell him, he still sings it “hakuma mennta”. What the fuck??!)

I scanned through the family films… Winnie the pooh, Shirley temple, Dora the explorer, lady and the tramp, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Aladdin, Bambi… wait a sec….

I look back.

Mr. And Mrs. SMITH?!

A family film?

Sure as shit there were Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the cover in their sexy clothes and guns. Now, don’t get me wrong, we actually own this movie. It’s fun to watch. But nowhere would I classify it as a ‘family film”. Hello?! Lots of violence? Hit men? And let’s not forget that sex scene…

I thought for sure that this was a misplaced movie. I shook my head and kept looking

Disney Princesses, Jungle Book, Million dollar baby, Garfield… hang on…

Million Dollar Baby?!

Also an excellent movie but I highly doubt that any 7 year old would want to see a movie about boxing and euthanasia.

My question is, what makes a family film these days? Other films I found there were the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Ring (now really, what the fuck?), Ocean’s 11 and 13 going on 30. All right, the last one is plausible.

Hmmm… I guess things have changed since I was a kid. I saw Top Gun in the third grade and my parents thought the sex scene was a little graphic. To tell you the truth, I remember being embarrassed watching it too.

I understand! I remember seeing Dirty Dancing with my mom and wanting to crawl under the seat when Patrick Swayze touches Jennifer Grey's boob through her bra. Now that is sad...

That some crazy shit about Toys R Us, though.
