Underground cinema at its finest. These guys basically converted old caves under Paris into cinemas for their own film festival. Great read.

And batman storms buckingham palace. With Robin, who is incidentally 48. Not sure if the link will work, if not head over to the bbc news website. The same group also scaled a suspension bridge, and had spiderman on the london eye.

These quotes made me laugh:
I've got blue eyes and blond hair. Hitler had brown eyes and brown hair. If we were in school together I would be the kid beating him up for being a wog. -- One of the soundbites for the docu, John Safran versus God.

He was telling me he doesn't think he will get into heaven. I am thinking, if you're not going to heaven, then I'm screwed. -- Charlize Theron, recalling a conversation with Nelson Mandela.

Saw two great movies on the weekend: American Splendor, which is not as depressing as I thought it would be; and Lost and Delirious, a Canadian film about sapphic love in an all-girls boarding school. I hate to use the L word to describe the movie because it was more than that (yes, Nick was disappointed) and, as a coming or age movie, it is way better than Mona Lisa Smile.
