Who are those people?

[ostaralight]

Meh... Me trying to understand, really. Preparing for "Flight of the Hindenburg" larp on Chimera, the larp convention, and so trying to learn more on what I got myself into;-))) Looks like the organizers made a mix of real people, fictional people, and original characters. The full list is:

Al "Scarface" Capone An unbelievably

Annie - there was a comic strip, and later a musical, about Little Orphan Annie

Ardath Bey - I don't recognise the name, but 'Bey' == 'lord' so he's probably high-status

Cane Kameron - might be a reference to Citizen Kane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane)

Carl Denham - the film-maker from King Kong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_(1933_film))

Joe "Sky Captain" Sullivan - the eponymous hero of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, a George Lucas retro-pulp-thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Captain_and_the_World_of_Tomorrow)

Professor Trevor Bruttenholm - from the Hellboy comics and movie (I think you'd like 'em). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellboy)

Polly Perkins - also from Sky Captain

And I do recognize - now! *headbang* I can't believe I didn't recognize it immediately, and despite him being called "from the Middle East" I didn't get the bey=lord thing! (thought it's a last name) However, it's kinda funny... The real original thing is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mummy_(1932_film), the name is the mummy's alias! Omg. Real omg.
But the one I should have thought about is Ardeth Bey, the guy from 1999 "The Mummy" - the most attractive Middle-Eastern warrior ever! *swoon*

The others seem to be from English-language well-know stuff, so I will not blame myself for not knowing them, and will just read your links;-) I actually saw Hellboy movie, but long ago and just once, I didn't like it, so maybe that's why I didn't remember.

I'd still recommend the comics. The movie tried hard (it was pretty slick, as I recall), but it just didn't get the brooding darkness and macabre humour of the original. I mean, there was a woman who fed herself into an Iron Maiden for power. She had to bleed, you see. Baba Yaga. Jet-pack-flying Nazis. Scary frogs. Baba Yaga. I can lend you the first graphic novel if you'd like to try it out.

Speaking of comic recs, I scratched a handful of Yami no Matsuei episodes out of Youtube, because I remember you said you liked it one time.

It was cool, though the minor characters didn't seem to do a hell of a lot in the anime. Wasn't too fond of Muraki as a villain, alas, but I now have a crush on Tsuzuki. Crushing on one or more characters in a show is a good sign.

Back to the topic at hand - who are you still lost about?

Speaking of comic recs...

By which I meant, "Hey, I really liked the show, thank you for bringing it to my attention."

I'm not sure whom I am still lost about, currently trying to memorize what I already know...
