Adam Goldberg's new film I love your work, starring Giovanni Ribisi,Josh Jackson, Elvis Costello, Franca Potente and Christina Ricci, is all about weblogs. Haven't we heard that one before? I'm missing Meg Ryan!

"What was that romantic comedy with Tom Hanks called again," the producer asked. "it must have made a gazillion dollars! Let's replace the E-Mail with one of those ultra-hip weblogs. Get us an aging old American idol. Let's say Henry Rollins. No, too macho! Make that Elvis Costello. And get us some hot new chicks with an attitude. What's the name of the redhead in 'Run, Lola, Run' again?"

Fact is that weblogging Helen Jane made out with the right guy in Hollywood and now she's got the first paid job as a weblog-columnist since I love your work has it's own weblog telling you about the production. It's strictly commercial. No naughty pictures of Franca Potente and Christina Ricci. Have a look to witness the decline of blogworld.
