Crazy Crap Item #19: The part where we find stars everywhere

So, Eamon has a new favorite toy: The Warriors Playstation game. Yes, based on the trashy B movie from the '70s of the same name. For the last few weeks, all our leisure hours are accompanied by the clanging of beer bottles and the battle cry, "Warriors, come out and play-ee-ay!!"

The new game, of course, is a marketer's dream come true. It ties into a movie that's virtually forgotten, and can appear on any number of second-rate cable stations, along with frequent plugs for the new game. To whit: today, on Spike, the so-called network for men.

And so it is that Eamon and I while away a Saturday, each tap-tap-tapping away on our laptops, reclined on our hide-a-bed in front of the TV as this fine piece of cinema plays.

And as we watch, who to our wondering eyes should appear but Mercedes Ruehl in the coveted role of "Policewoman in Central Park." Stars are everywhere, if you only take the time to look.
