    Just wondering.. but would Mrs. Ultraman not be Ultrawoman? Or does that honour go to someone else? I would like to suggest Eva Green as Ultrawoman if they make the movie.

    I hope for your sake that your mrs doesn't read your postings, else it'll be no more dinners for you. Though, by the sounds of it that could be a good thing :)
