Improv Everywhere Does Something Funny

To be honest, I usually don’t like Improv Everywhere … probably because I cringe at my old drama school days and the thought of people wearing only their underpants on the subway screams of desperation and crabs.

But this? This is funny. Looking uncannily like King Philip IV of Spain,  ”Agent Elliot” planted himself in front of his doppelgänger painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and offered autographs.

Toronto as a toy city

There’s a camera trick called tilt-shift that I know nothing about other than it makes real-life things appear to be toys. As BlogTO posted earlier today, Belarussian band has used this technology for a music video – but what makes it super cool is its representations of Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mist and its heaps of scenes from Toronto – Chinatown, the Waterfront, the train tracks near Union Station, the highway/condo corridor. I think they even use a clip from a marathon – which means I might be in this cool looking vid.

Huck Finn and replacing the N word

On Kickstarter, you can invest in a project to replace the N-word with “robot” in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The project has already doubled its original fundraising goal. I think the super awesome “Robot Jim” figurine you get with a $50 pledge is DEFINITELY helping their cause.

Ferris Bueller, the board game

There is a tribute to John Hughes films at a California gallery, and Maxim Dalton created this AMAZING, BRILLIANT, OUTSTANDING Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Board Game. I love it. I think Maxim is a righteous dude.

Oh, and in other Ferris Bueller news today, Wired reports a baseball fanatic has pinned down the exact Cubs game Ferris, Sloane and Cameron attended during his day off.
