People who look like people XX.

This is the 20th anniversary of my 'People who look like people'-schtick.

So, in honour of this milestone in blogging history, lo and behold, a new and improved ..

People who look like people!

By the way, have you ever noticed that it is impossible for something to be both new and improved? Doesn't the word 'improved' imply that there was a previously existing version of whatever it is that's been improved, thus making it impossible for said, improved thing to be new.

Anyway, I digress.

Here we go:

Who Is Who?

Nifty, no?

Now, my question to you, dear reader, is twofold: first off, (1) how many different faces (not counting Grover, I don't know where the hell he came from!) can you spot in the animation, and secondly (2) who do you see (again, excluding Grover)?

Some clues (the answer to subquestion 1 cannot be derived from the number of clues given below):
  • Father of one of them (or so I always thought).
  • Transvestite.
  • Former vampire.
  • Shocked Julia Roberts.
  • Supporting actor in one of the films I (very) recently saw.
  • Red herring.
  • A lizard minus it's taiL.
Good luck.

Cheers

Question # 1: No, not 4 different faces.

Question # 2: Yes, Kiefer Sutherland is one of the faces.

Question # 3: Cheese.

What was that? You didn't ask a third question?

Ah well.

Owe, my brain hurts!

But isn't it Kiefer Sutherland and Ewan McGregor?

Kiefer, as mentioned, is correct. Ewan, however, is not in there.

Bingo!

However, there's someone else in there. Get that one and you're my hero.

He looks really familiar, but I just can't place him!

Wait, I'll have a look at your clues.

No, I still don't know.

By the way, you should update your film review links. They're all broken!

And with regards to your list of films for '06: I agree with you on "The Corpse Bride", "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" and "Strings", but "Shaun of the Dead", "Munich", "The Aristocrats" and "Brokeback Mountain" really weren't that good. Uche.

The third face: That's him in a nutshell; he looks familiar, but you cannot place him. He's the eternal supporting actor.

The reviews: You're right, they're still linking to thewetnoodle.com. I'll fix 'em as soon as I feel up to it.

The films: Don't be dissin' Shaun, man! I love that film! Simon Pegg is the best thing to come out of England since, well, Eddie, darling Eddie!

Oh, and Encatimini?

Cheers

Kiefer is immediately recognizable, and I think I see Peter Saarsgaard in there... but I'm at a loss for the others, though one looks damn familiar.

Maybe I was just expecting too much from Shaun of the Dead... Even Dylan Moran couldn't save it for me!

Encatimini died and I moved to LiveJournal (barisart), but don't tell anyone.

Kiefer Sutherland, Peter Sarsgaard and Eddie, darling Eddie (Izzard) - between the lot of you, you managed to solve it.

Kudos for that.

Cheers
