Emily, my DH and cousin both liked the RosettaStone to learn some basic Arabic. My DH hasn't really had a chance to use it, but my cousin has been able to speak enough when she visits her husband's family (who don't speak English) to make herself understood.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

Do you have a preferred incarnation?
Also, you're light on Marvel there. No Spidey love? Dr. Strange? Walt Simonson's Thor? (or Beta Ray Bill?)

shrift, were they filming YOU?
No. Well, they better not have, because I was in my pajamas and had bed hair. They're shooting a commercial on my street today, although I don't know why. I mean, it's not exactly the most picturesque street in Chicago, but whatever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once they shot a commercial on my street (when I was in Wicker Park) but I never saw the commercial on TV. I was so disappointed....

They filmed at least part of an ep of The Wire in my apartment complex.
What?!

They filmed a whole John Waters movie in my neighborhood! Not on my current street though, it's a little too classy looking I guess to fit the theme.

Also, none of the Endless and no John Constantine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They shoot in my neighborhood all the time: [link]

Was it the Cerebus version of the Endless that had, er, Swoon and Snuff and... can't remember any more, but yeah?
