Quick question
Will Leslie Mann play a wife trapping herself in a failed marriage by being a vindictive, snippy harpy that has two facial expressions, one of which is "I think you're dumb" and the other is "I'm glad that I think you're dumb."?

Oy, it's gonna hurt that I know this:

Very polite of him
"I don't watch Heroes, but here's something about Lost"

Probably Candle/Halliwax. They made reference to his not doing so well, this is about when he'd be messing with time travel and losing his arm and so on, and he'd probably be in one of their secret stations (Orchid?) to be doing so.

Oh I'm sure. Personally though the whole thing made me think of the aging Miyamoto as the Stephen King of video game design.

Man, I was reading a liveblog account of that keynote, and the worship was hilarious. The way they attribute almost every recent Nintendo property to Miyamoto just doing stuff… Pikmin is because Miyamoto got a garden! Nintendogs is because Miyamoto got a puppy! Wii Fit is because Miyamoto wanted an exercise program…

"Whee Whee…! Be… qu..i..e..t"

YO DAWG I HEARD YOU LIKE CARS SO WE PUT A CAR IN YO CAR SO YOU CAN DRIVE WHILE YOU DRIVE.

Way to ruin the franchise, Bakula.

Sure!
The Bravery self titled album, and Takk from Sigur Ros. I like atmospherics, I guess. Any album I can listen to from start to finish without feeling a touch of "oh, this is pretentious, must skip" is an automatic contender for favorite.

Maybe your purported MST3K skills just aren't up to snuff. I have friends that swear they love to "MST3K" films, but it really tends to boil down to them pointing out the fake-looking parts and saying "This sucks" and "That chick needs to show her boobs."

Actually, you may want to shuffle Blood+ to the bottom of that deck, the show is decidedly not scary. Or interesting. Love anime where nothing happens for whole episodes except for little kids riding a nice train, or two guys talking? Grab it!

Witch Hunter Robin? Great choice if you want a show where the main character is basically a pyrokinetic Velma Dinkley.

Death Note (along with Bleach) suffer from the "obviously used to be manga" syndrome, where the anime is carried primarily by a pre-formed appreciation for the characters. That way you, the audience, will be more forgiving when 90% of a given episode is exposition delivered by two static cell-drawings of characters…

Shinji isn't even a character in that series, he's just the emobdiment of all whining and parental angst ever swirling in place.

Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex (the TV series), lives up to it's name. Too heavy on exposition, with most of the characters reduced to delivering long explanations about previous world events, generally in long shots of a cheap CGI car driving along a highway. If you wanna look at a car and hear about the…

There's actually a fairly solid reason we know so many assassins by their full names: so the newspapers didn't cause confusion and slander charges by all the Lee Oswalds, Mark Chapmans, and John Booths of the world at the time. Generally the weirder the name, the less need to follow through on such formalities, so…

Yeah he could, but I think the sort of feeback that would generate in my brain would break me though. It's … Robin Williams… playing the Riddler … it's been half the movie and he hasn't affected a John Wayne accent and called Batman "Pilgrim."

Okay, discussion time. Knowing what Cristopher Nolan can wring out of Robin Williams (acting, apparently), what Batman villain would Williams be best suited to play? Black Mask? The Ventriloquist? Riddler?
