Perhaps my hand has been tipped a little by Arthur and Blake already showing up…during this process, I found several of my favorite characters to have a low minute count, but high impact…on me, and as characters in the film. And usually highly quotable.
I should probably watch those films! :blush: Can of Mixed Vegetables…there's outside the box thinking, well done Yancy Audrey II, awesome…reminds me I should have thought of Orin for my list, would have probably made it on a different day |

Can of mixed vegetables. I should have done Lars von Trier as Pie. One correction: my vote of Beast was for both the Cocteau and Disney films. I assumed remakes count. |

Didn't realise it was going to be unveiled like this - great stuff. Good picks so far - Balthazar is inspired. |

As my picks of Balthazar and the can of vegetables show, my list was all over the place. |

You could combine Catherine the Great with The Scarlet Empress. I actually almost nominated her. Now that would be cool to get the same character nominated for two different films. |

The Scarlet Empress will show up, but perhaps not in the way you suggest. |

Aaron, whenever Criterion finally decides to get around to releasing Yang's A Brighter Summer Day, I know you'll be all over it. Is it even on Hulu yet? |
