I’m staring down an unexpected mess of deadlinery today, and I don’t have much in the new issue of NOW, so this will be a very short post.

Stuff I did write: A look at the World of Comedy Film Festival, which runs tomorrow through Sunday and did not exactly dazzle me this year, and a heads-up for a double-bill of my beloved “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” Saturday night at the Bloor Cinema, hosted by their director, Edgar Wright.

I hope to have more to say about Wright tomorrow. That, in fact, is one of my deadlines.

Hang in there …
