Absolutely. Loves his wife to death, is happy in every respect, and is good at his (very useful) job.

It's the latter. Dickens' protagonists seem shallow to us because we've become accustomed to having an inside line to character's internal monologues.

There's an honest-to-goodness spontaneous combustion scene.

She's kind, thoughtful, nerdy and female!

Jerkass Homer is the Anti-Christ.

"This is Tony Pope…LIVE, with HARD CORE!"

There were two black guys in Predator.

I've always had the hots for Mary Bennett — in the book, in both of the BBC series, in the 1940 film, and the 2005 film. I would take her on that piano of hers in a second.

"That's a shame."

Neville Longbottom and the Scorching Genital Nargles.

The Film Students at my local university recently showed Feeling Minnesota, Singles and Casino Royale on consecutive nights.

In The Incredibles, the call-sign of the airplane that Elastigirl borrows to fly out to Syndrome's island is IG-99 ["India-Golf-Niner-Niner"].
