When you have 90 minutes to spare watch this movie, Google Me The Movie
A documentary about a guy, Jim Killeen, who Googled himself and then went all over the world meeting others with his name.
It’s a fascinating experiment and a lot of fun to watch the path from reluctance to participate to the creation of life long friendships. My only real criticism is on of the questions he asked “What is man’s purpose?” That presupposes a creator of some kind that assigns a purpose and so is a meaningless question.
What follows below is only an excerpt. To watch the whole movie you have to visit his YouTube page

I never knew that, prior to the Tate-LaBianca ritual murders, Charles Manson was a songwriter. He’s just released an album via a Creative Commons license that anyone can download for free. Morbid (pun indented) curiosity caused me to download it but so far trepidation has prevented me from listening to it. As I’m a cat person I guess curiosity will win out in the end. Let’s hope I don’t turn into a cult killer with swastikas carved into my forehead by doing so

I loved John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank and this looks to be a “reprise” of the same type of character.
Note of note - Cusack will be on Crooks and Liars next week to do a live chat.
