If you're in or around LA this weekend, you might want to check out all the academy award nominated documentary films being screened at the Director's Guild theater.

IMDB follows Microsoft's lead: every new version makes it harder and harder to see the actual content you're looking for. I figure two more times around and they'll be down to three words per page that aren't navigation.

You know you want time-consuming guilty pleasures. Other times, you might not want so much.

This site is your worst nightmare. Book of Blunders is a collection of failures, painful mistakes, and glorious moments of stupidity. C'mon people, let's hear your biggest faux-pas. Mine's there already.

Man there's a lotta links today. I'd like to add one, and continue the profanity thing. Everyone say "fuck" one more time. And now, "ass." That's also a good word. Both are used liberally at BlowTheDotOutYourAss.com, which appears to be some kind of guerrilla advertising group, similar to that whole Andre thing. They provide templates for printing out stickers that say things like ButIdon'tNeedMyToothpastDelivered.com, and IJustHadARectalExamOnline.com. Good fun for the whole family.

Radiskull wants to fuck Blue Velvet...? Director David Lynch will be doing a series of Flash movies for Shockwave.com in return for some shares in the company. It's a strange world...

Feed has a thought provoking Daily. I haven't been following this controversy very closely, but the article is interesting. The focus is not on the anti-gay sentiments of Dr. Laura (and subsequent backpeddling thereof), but rather the implications of the mutability of the digital medium.

The pets.com sock puppet can now sit on your desktop and dispense oscar cattiness that Joan Rivers would envy (windows only though). He's on my desktop until the big event. [thanks Leonard]

I.AM/BALD has some interesting, useless but fun, stuff. If only he'd update it...

It wasn't a question of if, but when. There's now a hacked version of napster that allows trading warez and videos (I bet every college student on a T1 is going apeshit right now).

Tim Burton to remake Planet of the Apes. How bizarre and cool.

This is a great little story, and one I can relate to. I've had several friends that I could have mistaken for long lost twins.

These wonderful human beings posted 213 of 243 full Simpsons episodes, but FOX is taking legal action now to shut the site down. So if you have a favorite, grab it now.

The latest TV craze to hit Europe is coming to the UK. After the ratings success of Shipwrecked (18 volunteers living on an island) we have a kind of Truman Show but with volunteers.
