What's your favorite pre-1960 movie/actor?
Wow, does Clint Eastwood count…
West Side Story.because ill never get over dancing gangs fighting.
Guy: Cary Grant – I like the Hitchcock movies with him better than Jimmy Stewart's (then again, Joel can probably do a funnier Jimmy Stewart than a Cary Grant).
Lady: Sexy Swede Ingrid Bergman
Movie: Flying right in the Face of what I wrote above: Vertigo with Jimmy "Mushmouth" Stewart.
G'day etc… Have you tried the vegemite yet? By the wizzay, it's pronounced veh-gee-mite…
I have an announcement about that during the show. I think you're going to be pleased.
I don't know which is more disgusting but you should try marmite (the UK version) and compare. My theory is it's the scrapings of dead yeast at the bottom of old beer barrels. Apparently it was invented during WWI but I fail to see why it has survived to the present day when the UK is no longer being blockaded by U-boats…
Another question, if there was a Princess Bride remake (Not that it needs it but we know how Hollywood is doing these days milking the franchises) who would play the roles or would you go with No name people. just a thought
What movies would be infinitely improved if they had Lightsabers? Also, how would you like to creatively kill off the worst characters in Sci-Fi? (EX. Jar Jar)
What animal would you have put money on to have a chance to evolve into humans as opposed to monkeys?
Humans "evolved" from Golgafrinchans not monkeys.
Golgafrinchan bones is put on Earth by baby Jesus and a smooth talkin' dinosaur what escaped from its stable.
What historical person or event should be made into a movie or video game, taking the usual liberties like in 300?
I ask because I'm working on a game about Nicholai Tesla right now.
I'm a regular reader of Q.C. and was pleasantly surprised to see your guest strip. Nicely done.
Two questions:
1. Where the Clavin has Denise been? You didn't have her deported did you?
2. With corporate America embracing the iPhone has it lost some of its "cool"? I saw a guy with a belt clip for his iPhone, it made me want to vomit in terror.
Keep up the good work.
1. Any opinions on Twitter & YouTube's impact on the Iranian Elections? (Perhaps too serious)
2. Have you had an increase in regular readers thanks to your QC Guest Strip?
If the HE crew were a team of bank robbers, what would your theme be ie Point Break.
Princess Bride

Now that you are reading/listening to Harry Potter, wouldnt the series be served
better Justice as an Animated TV Series, just hand it off to a Japanese
Animation company (Hentai if you want) but a serious anime/cartoon developer to
get this going, we are looking at an easy 7 year/season run.
Another question would be a Sci Fi show where its the post years, i know Buffy
and Angel are right there but from the point of hogwarts, maybe hogwarts 20
years or 100 years later or even earlier side, its a whole another topic but
ill throw it out there.
How do you fellas at HE feel about Korea's reaction to the anime Hetalia Axis Powers?
I dont understand any of the words in this question.
Hetalia Axis Powers is THIS: <a href=”http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AxisPo…” target=”_blank”>http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AxisPo…
And THIS: <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYMRYSWa0EE” target=”_blank”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYMRYSWa0EE
Korea is angry because they think Japan will gloss over their less than admirable WWII ventures.
Oh, I was sharing that with you because it is, in essence, comedy GOLD. Pure comedy gold, for you to make a comic strip out of. I mean, you say everything's funny, right, if this ISN'T a hilarious concept, what IS?
Which of the go-to apocalypses in geek culture do you see happening first? Robot uprising, zombie apocalypse, worldwide killer virus, giant meteorsplosion or Alien invasion?
Bonus, which do you prefer?
I forgot the one who reads comics. Did you get a tear at the end of Whatever happened to the caped crusader?
Favorite comic book writer?
The Governator sent the Senate a sculpture of bulls balls, thought you might enjoy this

Would you rather have this accent for Arnold in Terminator 2?
Deleted scene from T3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kayFrIR-Qfw&fm…
so some city in Montana is mandating that you give them your login information for any social networking or online community sites so they can troll all public and private content when you apply for a job. everyone knows that HR uses traditional google searches, but dont you think this crosses a line? i'd love to hear denise's perspective as an HR/recruiting guru…

As a parent do you have any stories about seeking out certain special toys / presents (possibly Arnold / Sinbad style a la Jingle All the Way)?
Also, what is the status on today's selection of toys and how does it compare to the toys we had as kids?
Ever heard of metal band Manowar – comments about 'em? How do you feel 'bout the loudest motherfucking True Metal playing, headbanging, trembling(!) band in the World!
Big movies always have straight-to-video, Bizzaro versions of them. (Transmorphers for example).
Think of a movie you CHERISH – what's the awful Bizzaro version of it like? Is Wesley Snipes in it?
