“Three people will think this is half as funny as I do,” Jim Emerson disclaims, but I’m one of them: he put together 2 lists, one of actors in Fassbinder films and one of NPR presenters, mixed them up, and asked his readers to spot which are which. Then, Ali Arikan produced an audio version.

Joel Heller links to the five trailers produced by David Wilson and Boxcar Films for this year’s True/False Film Festival. Also: some of the SXSW 2008 Burger Hut revival trailers, starring Kent Osbourne, Nathan Zellner, Kevin Bewersdorff and several other friends of the festival, can be found here and here.

You say “relaunched,” I say “revived from an almost permanent vegetative state that nearly took a good chunk of my sanity with it as I watched it slowly sink into the abyss, only to give me faint glimmers of hope every so often that amounted to just barely enough to keep me from injecting heroin into my eyeballs.”

But yeah, it’s finally back.
