All three correct. Technically #44 is “John Doe” but “Bad Guy” is just as descriptive a moniker, so whatever.

I’m having trouble remembering the character’s name, but it’s the girl with the short blonde hair from The Matrix, as whats-his-face is pulling out her plug.

Too easy! It’s the first Persian diplomat sent to meet Leonidas.

I have trouble with names, if you can’t tell. 🙂

Has a post been disappeared, or something? Or is it just me?

I can’t see the questions for which “Superman” and “Rollo Tamasi” are answers. Anyone else?

(I don’t use the ignore list, so it can’t be that.)
