What the hell just happened?


I vaguely remember renting and watching this movie when it first came out on video, when I was about eight or so. The only memories of this film I have are of Steve Martin, Sarah Jessica Parker and Enya, and something to do with a scene with Steve Martin or Sarah Jessica Parker sitting in an airplane with an Enya song playing in the background.

Anyway, I fell asleep last night a little late with the TV on, and I woke up abruptly about three hours into my slumber feeling really groggy and incoherent. I remember hearing this really off the wall, most likely drug inspired song that resembled Enya. I looked up at the television screen and saw none other than a lion statue moving its head around. Yeah. I'll say it again: I remember looking up at the TV and seeing a lion statue, folks, moving its head and looking around.

The odd thing about this was that I fell back asleep, woke up about twenty minutes later and the film was still on. I watched it for about fifteen minutes and it seemed like a relatively normal movie; nothing was out of the ordinary, just good wholesome Steve Martin comedy fun.

My question is: does this bizarre scene actually happen in this film, or are my dreams just starting to get really weird?

Its when Haris (Steve) and Sara (Victoria) become Kids and walk thru that yard, hand in hand, and the Lions turn down their heads to them and they kiss each other.

Yes, it happens but I don't think you really fell asleep. I think it was more of drug-induced haze. :p
