    I've heard it said that Toshiro Mifune was the greatest actor in Japanese, and if he had spoken English he would have be the greatest actor, period. I also saw him in the US miniseries Shogun. They did a decent job of it (I read the book) He didn't need to speak any English in that.

    I'll second that. He didn't need to speak. The words just confirmed what his face and actions told you.

    Perhaps the subject of tired tropes has become a tired trope. But any trope can be resurrected with the right approach.

    I ought to resurrect my plans to write up a Lair of the Cliche Lord someday.

    Hurry -- rather eager to see it done as an actual (albeit humorous) micro-dungeon through which to run player-characters!
