No one can answer that question, Follow Them.

And Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from Outer Space. And the guy who played Torgo in Manos (though that was also his first movie).

William H. Macy gets a free pass based on that criterion, MisterEN(igma? Jim Carrey?!), but I think the established criterion is basically that the worth of one project or series of projects forever linger with the maker(s) of that/those project(s), such that the audience member bestowing the pass will have some

Yes, but if he switched now, you'd no doubt start feeling a little tingle every time you saw Brion James.

I'm guessing Rossen is straight, so Droste or the blonde one, right Yoko?

At that point, I think a caving helmet is required.

You're the Christmas Girl who lives inside my womb?

Me, too. Now that's some cultural discontinuity.

I'm rather far from Japan, actually, but I'm sure there are some frail little inbreds somewhere nearby. Of course, the only way to root them out is by staging a rally opposing gay abortions…

If you find out what DVDA is, you can quickly guess what TVTA is.

Keanu Reeves made everyone think it sounded cool.

That's a high price to pay for a blow job.

The greatest thing about Shakespeare's employment of drama as his chief means of storytelling is that it gave him an excuse to mix metaphors quite cunningly and in ways he couldn't have gotten away with in any other form.

Somehow that chart manages to communicate both the structure and emotional effect of the novel. It's very awesome.

It's called an "eventual left." Jerry Seinfeld tells me it's legal in Florida.

I'll put it this way: Dan Brown is the worst PUBLISHED writer I have read. Really. Go through any random ten paragraphs from any of his novels and luxuriate in the incomprehensible structure of his sentences. A glaring shadow that looms from ten feet away? And the stories themselves! A tweed jacket parachute? An NSA

Anonymousetrap raises an interesting question: if we are in assent with anyone else about an idea, can that idea be said to be original? If not, to what extremes must a human being go to have an original thought? The more I consider this question, the more I realize that I have only ever seen one truly original
