If you've ever wondered how characters in the movies always find a parking space right in front of wherever they're going, no matter what time if day it is; or how characters with crappy, low-paying jobs afford spacious, elegantly furnished apartments even on the Upper West Side of Manhattan; or why all characters speak perfect English, usually with complete mastery of American idiom, even if they're from outer space--then you'll get a big kick out of this site. Giancarlo Cairella inventories hundreds of absurd Hollywood conventions and his wry, terse prose is often hilarious. Organized for convenience with a clickable index, this site shows that funny material, even sans elaborate graphics and cgi scripting, can still make a classic web site.(JV)
