Web headlines of “Joaquin Phoenix’s BIZZARRE Behavior on David Letterman” were all over my laptop screen yesterday, so of course I tracked it down on YouTube.

The destinies of this trio of gunslingers revolved entirely too much around an even shallower character […]
The indispensible LAist.com has a nice piece up on the instant classic AFRO SAMURAI. If you aren’t up on AFRO SAMURAI, it features the voice of Samuel L. Jackson and score by Wu-Tang’s THE RZA. If that doesn’t get you interested, nothing will.
Today while searching for a new job, I stumbled across a post that turned out to be recruiting camera operators for COPS.
