That man has my utmost respect. Many have been the men(and women) who simply said "they haven't made what I've been wanting yet, so I'll just do it myself". Very few have that kind of dedication though. If they can make Desperate Housewives into a game, then by freaking all that is holy this should be. It's not my cup of tea personally but I guarantee there's an audience for it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Why is this single video better than a whole season of Desperate Housewives?

That's Kyle McLachlan playing "Karl Heinz". This is right around the time he was on Twin Peaks, which is probably why he was hosting.

Younger people (like me) would know him as Donald Love in GTA3, Trey MacDougal in Sex in the City, and the nutso Orson Hodge in Desperate Housewives.

In addition to his work with Tim Burton, Elfman has written scores for dozens of other films including:

* Forbidden Zone (Richard Elfman, 1980)
* Back to School, (Alan Metter, 1986)
* Wisdom (Emilio Estevez, Robert Wise, 1986)
* Big Top Pee-wee (Randal Kleiser, 1988)
* Midnight Run (Martin Brest, 1988)
* Scrooged (Richard Donner, 1988)
* Darkman (Sam Raimi, 1990)
* Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty, 1990)
* Nightbreed (Clive Barker, 1990)
* Army of Darkness (Sam Raimi, 1993) (theme)
* Sommersby (Jon Amiel, 1993)
* Black Beauty (Caroline Thompson, 1994)
* Dolores Claiborne (Taylor Hackford, 1995)
* Dead Presidents (Hughes Brothers, 1995)
* To Die For (Gus Van Sant, 1995)
* The Frighteners (Peter Jackson, 1996)
* Freeway (Matthew Bright, 1996)
* Mission: Impossible (Brian De Palma, 1996)
* Good Will Hunting (Gus Van Sant, 1997)

* A Simple Plan (Sam Raimi, 1998)
* Proof of Life (Taylor Hackford, 1999)
* Chicago (Rob Marshall, 2002) (The instrumental pieces "After Midnight" and "Roxie's Suite")
* Spider-Man (Sam Raimi, 2002)
* Red Dragon (Brett Ratner, 2002)
* Hulk (Ang Lee, 2003)
* Spider-Man 2 (Sam Raimi, 2004)

* Charlotte's Web (Gary Winick, 2006)

He has also written the theme music for several television series, including:

* Pee-wee's Playhouse (some episodes) (1986)
* Sledge Hammer! (1986)
* The Simpsons (1989)
* Beetlejuice (1989)

Fantastic! It is about time television gets out of this 'aspirational' phase. I actually don't mind the rubbish like Friends, The OC and Desperate Housewives - that is just dreck. The programmes I cannot stand are the ones that are more 'in your face' - the 'What Not To Wear' girls as if normal people should really be so concerned about people treating them badly because of their clothes! Would you ever really want to get to know someone better if you knew that they wouldn't have talked to you the first time you met if you'd been wearing some poor fitting or poorly chosen clothes? I wouldn't and in fact finding out that someone made those kind of petty judgements would be the thing that would lead me to conclude I couldn't be friends with, or have a relationship with, that person myself!

The worst example of this is that 'Ten Years Younger' show that takes a normal looking middle aged woman, shows her picture to various passersby on the streets who comment on how ugly and old she looks, then takes her off for clothes, hair, tanning and dental treatments and plastic surgery to try to prove to these various nobodies who gave callous opinions about the woman that she can look as attractive as they seem to want her to be. This all ends with (different) passersby being shown a picture of the 'new and improved' woman and - what a surprise! - they all think she looks younger! Of course she does, leaving aside selective editing that only shows passersby who think the woman looks younger she now has a plastic face, immovable because of all the botox they've pumped into it and is wearing clothes that would look slutty on a 16 year old! Congratulations you don't look your age any more, you look like every other person who's had plastic surgery - whatever happened to growing old gracefully? The fact that this show says more about the pushiness of the presenters and so called experts and the lack of self-worth of the various women somehow never seems to be brought up!

I think Dave kinda has a thing for redheads.

I remember seeing him nervous and fawning over Marcia Cross of "Desperate Housewives".
