I moved it up from #140 when I read the Eddie Izzard interview in today’s NYT. “His strongest screen role so far has been as Charlie Chaplin in Peter Bogdanovich’s underrated 2001 film, “The Cat’s Meow,” about a 1920s murder on William Randolph Hearst’s yacht.

Your feedback on this project and the concept of miniblogs in general would be most welcome. What do you think?
