Great stuff indeed. Wife laughed out loud at "the invention of Hugo Cabernet". Sigh... And now I want some marzipan.
I'd seen most of the other links, but not that NYT "Touch of Evil" stuff, so thanks. Frankly the Oscars could do a lot worse than to put together a quick reel of brilliant mini-films like that.
How awesome would it be for each of the Best Director nominees to recast a key scene from their films with Best Actor nominees from other movies, or shoot scenes from the other nominees' films — or even from classic cinema — with the casts of their own films? Say, Alexander Payne doing a clip with Clooney as Bogie... It would never happen, due to scheduling if nothing else, but, man alive, I'd love to see that.
Your menu puns are classic, as always. Great stuff.
