- David Lowery has some good links to clips of films playing at Cannes, including Harmony Korine's Mr. Lonely.

- To Do tomorrow night: The Barnsdall Gallery Theate hosts monologist/performance artist/actress Heather Woodbury's The Last Days of Desmond 'Nani' Reese: A Stripper's History of the World, told from the point of view of a 108-year-old stripper. Boy, does she have Bob Evans stories, don't get her started!

- Paul at Self-Reliant Filmmaker points us to the coolest resource of the past week: The International Dialects of English Archive. Now all you actors who want to nail the Appalachian Mongolian twang can go straight to the source collector. Very cool Paul!

- And finally Reggie the Gator, who alluded the authorites (in a lake about 3 miles from my home) so long he was becoming DB Cooper-esque, has been caught:  Memorial Day swimmers in Lake Machado can once again bathe themselves in chicken entrails without fear of being eaten by Reggie the Alligator. Local news reports that the alligator has been caught. He was caught after 649 days in the lake by Parks & Rec as he surfaced to eat food and catch some rays. For those not in LA, helicopters are following the white truck carrying Reggie broadcasting the news live as he goes to the LA Zoo.
