In other notes, we stumbled across Prince of Egypt on tv (for Passover, presumably); not bad except for the Egyptian priests who are trying way too hard to be Disney Villains; but wow, slashiest Moses/Ramses ever.
Which, Inspector Gadget? I don't remember them being in Godzilla. Then again, I wasn't actually watching, because the computer doesn't face the TV.
Actually, speaking of Inspector Gadget... years ago, my ex and I were watching TV while his mother was napping on the couch. The I.G. cartoon came on, and we decided to go upstairs. My ex-in-laws had a rather complex setup involving a satellite dish, and Joe's mother didn't know how to operate it, so someone else always had to change the channel for her. Later that evening, his mother jokingly told us off because... "You left the room and left me there watching goddamned Captain Whistle!"
For the next several years, the joke stuck - we always referred to Inspector Gadget as "Goddamned Captain Whistle" after that. :)
