wordplay

wordplay (DVD) i loved this film. it reminded me of those about scrabble, and other games - this one's about crossword fanatics, and the creation/challenge of the pinnacle of games - the new york times sunday crossword. bill clinton, jon stewart, the indigo girls, ken burns - all crossword fanatics. also footage of the yearly crossword competition held in stamford ct. - an interesting look at the top contenders and how (why?) they are there. a must see for those intrigued by wordy academic pursuits!
