I think this post just won a Humanitas Award.

Classic Pfeiffer!

I don’t think he counts.

I think it’s because he never looked young. 

It just struck me that the piano version of this would be entirely appropriate for a funeral, and I hope it gets played at his.

I think I’d be fine with a villain focused movie where Batman is a major supporting character.
