Tricky was NEVER married to Bjork.  She did date Goldie for some time though.  Tricky has children with the amazing Martina Topley-Bird, who sings on a few of his albums.

True Story.

In 2004, myself and Amy Earhart and a few other friends went to a FREE Vanilla Ice concert at the Knitting Factory here in LA.  We assumed he was going to do all his retro hits and have it be very fun.  Instead, he went on with his rap/metal schlock that apparently appealed to a number of Juggaloos in the audience.  Then about half way through his set, with absolutely NO prompting from anyone, a chunk of the audience started chanting "Ninja!  Ninja, Rap!  Ninja!  Ninja, Rap!"

Vanilla looked confused, then slowly nodded in quiet resignation, turned to his DJ and started talking, and a few seconds later he busted into the most damn enthusiastic performance of Ninja Rap I've ever seen.  Magical.  And I've seen Pink Floyd live.

I'd get very lonely very quick, if I did a podcast all by my lonesome.

It's not like Batman is even my favorite character or anything.  He is very much writer dependent in terms of quality.  Chuck Dixon turned him into a sort of neo-con claptrap (kinda like Chuck Dixon, actually) and even Frank Miller sorta lost the plot with him during All Star Batman.  What fascinates me about Batman is that of all the DC heroes, he's the most mortal.  While Marvel was all about making Super Powered folk relatable, Batman is about making a regular man more powerful by sheer force of will.  Its easy to forget that Batman premiered in a book called "Detective Comics" and that he is oft referred to as the worlds greatest detective.  The first Batman film dabbled in this, as well as Nolan in the Dark Knight (less so in Begins).  But even so, that's the least explored aspect of the character.  Bottom line, for such a popular character that has become iconic, he's been the hardest to translate what makes him great to the small or large screen, and therefore making what Nolan has done with him such an accomplishment.

It's a weird ouroboros: 

The Lord of the Rings becomes a seminal work that influences, amongst others, the storyline of World of Warcraft.  World of Warcraft becomes the definitive MMO of all time and the most profitable video game series ever.   Now, The Lord of the Rings MMO takes direct influence aesthetically from WoW's Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

Yeah, Galaxy Quest works fine.  It is a society that is literal without any concept of deceit so they take the show as fact.  And if that show was fact, with a captain who ALWAYS wins no matter how improbable, that's EXACTLY who you'd want.

And again... most documentaries are made in much the same way as reality shows. 

As for how real reality shows are...it really depends on the show.  Ask me about Franken-bites sometime.
