Brundlefly
The Character: The man formerly known as Seth Brundle is now half-man, half-housefly.
The Resolution: To become the world's first insect politician.

Marion Crane
The Character: Thieving secretary who does a runner with the company's money and hides out at the Bates Motel.
The Resolution: To pay extra for a decent hotel next time.

George Smiley
The Character: Retired spy with a very '70s taste in spectacles.

Derek Zoolander
The Character: Dim-witted fashion model who also does a lot of work of charity.
The Resolution: To devise a new look that will be more ridiculously good looking than Blue Steel.

Mr Miyagi
