Good question.

Is animation ok?

Mimi wo sumaseba (whisper from the heart)
I'm partial to Sean Connery, but that opinion was formed a long time ago, and I haven't revisited it recently.
I don't really have a favorite actress. We need more female leads for non-necessarily female roles, I guess.

Please rate the word "Awesome" on the scale of Oman to Erg0

Are you really in Japan? Were you born there? If not, are you Bill Murray-esque?

- Well, right now I'm in Hawaii for vacations, but for the purposes of your question, yes.
- Nope
- No, but I know a few people like that. The key is getting to know the language. And I hate that movie (not because of the theme, but because of the directing).
