• The big Foetus page. Also check out the DI-1-9026 page.
• Negativworldwidewebland. The Negativland home page (there was no other possibility). There's even a big chunk of one of the tracks on their highly troublesome U2 single available for download.

• Beautiful Girls: A good movie and lots of Stillwater in it, though in the plotline it seems to be supposed to be some kind of suburb of Boston. It darn well looks like Minnesota to me. It's about a guy (Timothy Hutton looking a little bit like Jim Thirlwell) going home for his high school reunion. There's not really that much of a plot. I bought my first guitar at Water Music, which you can see plainly in the early scene where the guy arrives home, and my sister's wedding reception was in the red brick courthouse up on the hill shown prominently partway through the movie.
• Grumpier Old Men: The scene where Melanie and Jacob argue during the Oktoberfest polka thing by the river is the (quite distinctive) park in downtown Stillwater, including the bridge that the kids in The Cure go under.
• The Cure: Lots of good scenes of Stillwater, and shot right near my house..! Our family car is in it (the beige Volvo station wagon seen across the street just after the kids jettison their grocery cart after riding it down 2nd street toward the Lowell Inn, where I used to work). The school they come out of at the beginning is Washington School, which served as our auxiliary high school building when I was a sophomore.

• Fargo: This one wasn't filmed in Stillwater, just Minnesota. Good movie, though. Not everyone in Minnesota has an accent quite that bad, incidentally.

• The 28-Hour Day. Down with Monday!
• Miramax Cafe. Lots of fun stuff here, including stuff like footage that never made it into Pulp Fiction, and a jpg of the Delicatessen pig.
• "Hampster dance". Truly incomprehensible.
• Les Webs D'Or, a French equivalent of the "Point" site, which I seem to have lost track of..
