KHAAAAN!

Err, I mean, priapus! I was just about to say that.

And Has-Been was the best album of that year.

I came in to mention him. But since you already have, I’ll throw out Jake Gyllenhaal as a soon-to-be-cult actor.

My favorite actress is Glenn Close. Doing a little online research about one of her movies, I was surprised to find out how much of a cult following she has. I even recall a major article (New Yorker? New York Times?) about the cult of Glenn Close.

Judy Dench has a surprisingly large and avid internet following as well.
