Q: I saw the third Aladdin movie and recognized the voice of Sa'luk. Who is it?
Playing Sa'luk was a bit of a switch for the late Jerry Orbach, who's better known for playing a cop than a robber.
Sa'luk is one of the titular thieves in "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" (1996), the second sequel to modern Disney classic "Aladdin" (1992).
However, Orbach is more often remembered as Det. Lennie Briscoe, one of the longest-standing characters in one of the longest-running prime-time dramas in TV history, "Law & Order."

Q: I saw several Christmas movies in the listings this year that had exactly the same titles but are completely different movies, not remakes. This is confusing. Why is this allowed?
As with so many things that fall in the not-so-sweet spot where the entertainment business meets the legal industry, this is a grey area.
The basis of the conflict is that you can't copyright a title. You can sue someone under trademark law if they make a movie with the same title as your own, but you would have to prove some kind of intent to deceive or confuse the public. That is a tricky thing to prove, and when super-rich movie studios are involved, it can be a costly process.

Hang on -- has CW bought out DC Comics? It certainly seems as though the two are joined at the hip. It started with “Smallville” back in 2006, when CW was still known as The WB, but more recently, the network has found great success with “Arrow,” its spinoff “The Flash” and even DC Comics' Vertigo imprint “iZombie.”
