If only I had spotted this on the streets of Toronto in June and not August, we could have started a contest.

Oh well, they did their best to drum up publicity for a fringe show. Sadly, we're covering it a month after it premiered and closed.

While I'm one of those who abandoned film for digital years ago, it's still a shame that we've seen the demise of both Kodachrome and Polaroid. Time Zero is an upcoming documentary about the final days of Polaroid film, and I'm looking forward to this one. Full marks to the filmmakers for using Flickr to premiere their trailer - very smart.

In this week's episode, Johnny feels he was the victim of a hate crime, and defends himself by slighting followers of Wicca, fans of Aladdin, and several members of the Liberace fan club.

When we shoot these things, we're so in the zone that we never notice things happening around us. In this episode, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová from Once walked directly behind us with their photographer. Both of us are fans of their music and the film, and their silent walk behind us provoked the same reaction in us as if the reanimated corpse of Charlton Heston were to walk past former commenter Dave on the street.

(This is Part III in a five part series on my trip out to the Hamptons this past weekend.)

I'm sitting poolside, drinking a beer, and I'm fully content. It could be the food, or the remnants of the wine tasting, but I don't want to move. I want to sit in this chair forever. Just as my eyes begin to close, Mo grabs his Blackberry and says he has good news and bad news.

The bad? I have to leave.

The good? I have to go to the spa.

I'd like to thank the person who emailed me the new logo (THANK YOU!). I'd also like to thank all of you who read last week's episode. Hopefully you'll be entertained by this week's recap. Even more hopefully - I'll be entertained by this week's show.
