Sorry for the late posting of the Bloggery, but I’ve been traveling all day to a retirement community in Arizona, and as you might guess the Interweb isn’t the hottest thing in these parts (obviously the hottest thing is the temperature, but anyway…).

So, I’m a bit late in addressing the news about Universal making a Where’s Waldo film, but it is the most fun movie topic of the past 24 hours (plus), and I just can’t let it be passed up for anything else. Mostly I just want to call back the clip of the day from almost exactly one year ago where I spotlighted a Bourne Ultimatum parody involving everyone’s favorite hard-to-find world/time traveler. And the thing I find most interesting about this actual film-to-be is that Universal is the same studio that produces the Bourne movies. Could there be at least a crossover cameo from Matt Damon? I am certain that he’d be down for a little winking tribute to that excellent fake trailer.

After the jump, check out a roundup of other blogged responses to the Where’s Waldo movie:

  • rainn.pngHere they are, your last strike bites before Christmas: the AMPTP has produced the figure that 74 percent of Americans report that their viewing habits unaffected by the strike. Which is nice, but when 26 percent of Americans report something, isn’t that, like, a lot? Also: the WGA has granted a waiver to allow writers to work on the Independent Spirit Awards. Rainn Wilson from The Office will host. Which is, um, also nice.
  • Speaking of events living or dying based on a WGA waiver: uncertainty over whether or not stars will cross the picket line to attend the Golden Globes has thrown party planners into a panic. Yes, it’s that slow of a news day.
