Sony Pictures Man Quits To Form Games Studio
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 8:30 PM on March 14, 2008
First things first: Yair Landau is perhaps the best name of all time. Second things second: Yair Landau, formerly of Sony Pictures, has left both Sony and the movie business behind, and will instead be focusing on setting up a studio described as "a new games and animation venture to develop and produce content for use across all media". I have my suspicions about vaguely-worded things like that, but hey, how can a guy with the name Yair Landau get things wrong?

For some reason my mind keeps on trying to read it as "Lair Yandau."

Cool...personalized plates! "Yair"? Aw, come on. "Yair"?
Child: Mommy, mommy! Buy me a license plate.
Mother: No. Come along, Yair.
Man: Are you talking to me?
Mother: No, my son is also named Yair.
We need more "Yair" license plates in the gift shop. I repeat,we are sold out of "Yair" license plates.

The best name I've ever heard was Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster. It was #1 on a list (somewhere on the internet) of the top ten most badass names ever. I think I agree.

I'm sorry, but clearly, Johnny Reecoh is far cooler.

I just checked his IMDb, but all he's listed for is a special thanks to the vidoegame (GASP!) PlanetSide.
Kinda disappointed there, I was expecting a long list of great movies -_-

Rip torn is the best name ever, in my book (I'm still writing it)
(and by god do I love the man as an actor!)
Here's to Yair bringing us some kick ass shit!
As long as he doesn't mean phones that is...

I just think the word "borked" is the greatest. It's not a name, but it damn well should be.

@Brian Ashcraft: Lockhart Steele is possibly the coolest name ever....ever, he could make anything and it'd sell aslong as his name was on the front!!
Landau is a little too close to Lando, so initial trust in this man is lost for me

Name-wise, I've always thought "Lockhart Steele" was top drawer.
