Klimt, for my tastes: more colourful, "softer" & finished-looking.
Now, for the daily in-town (solo, or two) commute (no glaciers to cross, skree to climb, or pristine salmon rivers to despoil): Environmentally-friendlier Hybrid, or gas guzzling, ozone depleting SUV/king cab truck

I'm a big wuss and Motor Cycles kind of frighten me so I'll choose a Cruiser. I drive a Hyundai so what does that say about me?[/QUOTE]
Well, the Hyundai tells me that you should have bought a Toyota, and the cruiser points to a fondness for things big, pounding and cylindrical, natch.... 
Seriously though, gdub, I'm just having a laugh/rant and being shamelessly stereotypical. Around here, at least, it's almost all cruisers and big expensive trucks/SUVs, & few of the latter ever seem to see the tasks they are designed for. Ego is a fragile thing, & more important than the air we breathe, apparently....

ANALOG: Never sounded the same
Robin (60's Batman) or Kato (The Green Hornet), which is the best sidekick?

Fed Ex... unless I'm paying for it..
And I'm going for Kato in that question above... Huge Bruce Lee fan here and his fight scenes were a little more realistic.. not that I didn't love the campiness of Batman.
religion or politics?

Speaking as a more than damp Brit, I'd go for dry
Godfather I, Godfather II or Godfather III?

the choice should be limited to I or II... #3 is a foul misbegotten child of the void
either way my choice would be #2, for the DeNiro flashbacks & Frankie Pentangelis especially 
The Ring or Ringu?

 Ringu? What the...? Do you mean Ringo?
 The precious, the books or the opera, Sir James? I'm sooooo confused!
I'll take the ring, though I'm already betrothed, you incorrigible flirt, you!
Clarity, or obfuscation

Okay, moving it along now: Bill Gates or "The Donald"

Bill Gates (he's less in your face and better groomed, and apparently lots more money)
Tom Jones or Julio Inglesias ?

Tom, for historical/sentimental reasons.
Why why why? Ask Delilah!
True love, or riches

Peter, Peter - Ringu is the original Japanese version of a recent remake by Hollywood called The Ring - no Wagnerian epics here, I'm afraid, just a particularly well made horror film; not having seen the original, I cannot choose, but the remake scared the bejayzus out of me......

Ahem - back to the original question: Heinz all the way.
Disney or Pixar?

 Well, thanks for enlightening me, Jim-bulb!
Seems I made the right choice anyway -- I too saw that recent horror flic, and found it to be almost as scary as British teeth, your photo, or your taste in pee-warm flat beer -- shudder! 
Now, as to your query, I'll take Pixar: their recent crop of computer-animated films & shorts have been clever, funny, and expertly executed. I loved Toy Story & its sequel, A Bug's Life, Monster's Inc., and Finding Nemo ! Are they behind the upcoming Shark Tale as well?
 (Not that the bloated Disney corporation hasn't also made some great stuff in recent years: Pirates of the Caribbean was a hoot, Hercules was hilarious (love James Wood's Hades), with killer Motown-like songs, and The Emporer's New Groove was both hip and hilarious, with a fine Sting number at the close....)
Now: Nelson or Wellington
