1: Check out Movies in 50 Words or Less. My friend Alex in LA is friends with the guy who does it, but I don’t know his name. Whoever you are, I salute you!

2: If you have more time than for just 50 words, then please check out the Film Reviews of Chris Tyrrell at Amazon. Chris is an old friend from school who lives up in Boston now so — I believe — one would say that this work of message board performance art is Wicked Retahded or something. Anyway, most amusing.

3: Amusing in a less ha-ha way is the blog of fellow NYC tourguide Chris Lucas. His A Leter A Day blog continues to document his efforts of 2006, when he handwrote many letters each day to all sorts of celebrities. He continues to get surprising responses. (Gorbachev? Samuel Alito? Sherwood Schwartz?) This is a good one to look at late at night, as it is, at times, a little surreal.
