Out of that list, my favorite was Captain America, but I also really like Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Deadpool (Though he's more of an antihero).

What about the Penguin? He's one of Batman's main enemies, and I'd love to see what they could do with him in the "Batman Begins" series. I've already heard that he might be a minor villain in the sequel, and it's been heavily rumored that Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Capote," "Red Dragon") may play him.

I get really, really annoyed when people try to play the discrimination card to explain away their own shortcomings. I haven't seen either of the films, but I recently read an article by the woman who wrote the book upon which "Brokeback Mountain" was based, and in the article, she expressed how bitter she was that "Crash" (Or as she so eloquently and maturely called it, "Trash") won instead of "Brokeback Mountain". She claimed that it was all just discrimination, but it sounded more like just the unhappy whinings of a sore loser. She didn't seem at all grateful that the film based on her book won three other Oscars, two of which were in the more major categories. It reminds me of a school musical I took part in when I was in middle school. At the start of the project, the teacher who ran it said that if we didn't behave ourselves, or if we caused a lot of trouble, we'd be removed from the production. Well, eventually, from what I understand, one girl was taken out of the production for that reason, and rather than accept what happened with dignity and poise, she indignantly responded, "Oh, it's cause I'm black, isn't it?" That clearly wasn't the case (I've never known that teacher to say or do anything even remotely racist), but this short- tempered girl felt that if she was to be removed from the production, that had to be the reason why. If there are actual instances of discrimination or racism, I'd normally side with the victim, but in situations where it was obviously NOT done out of discrimination, I'd just dismiss the whole thing as the tantrums of someone who doesn't know how to properly express their disappointment, so they shift the blame to someone else.

That urban legend about the actor who played the Tin Man was half- true. Originally, the Tin Man was going to be played by an actor named Buddy Ebsen (Who went on to star on the TV show "The Beverly Hillbillies"), but he nearly died after having an allergic reaction to the aluminum dust they used for the Tin Man's makeup. He survived, but had to drop out of the production. So, they replaced him with Jack Haley, and a new non- toxic makeup. I'm glad, because the Tin Man has always been my favorite character, and I loved the sweet, sentimental performance that Jack Haley gave.

Here are two ideas for questions: 1. What was your favorite episode? 2. Who was your favorite villain?
