Cambridge Community TV posts a video of his story of Ah.

NECN's report:

More info.

Boston Police advise there will be "simulated gunfire" at Sumner and New streets throughout the day today.

The man, identified in his suit only as John Doe, claims that in 2006, a "Cops" camera crew accompanying some Worcester officers illegally broke into his house and filmed the cops arresting him as he lay in his bed, naked and cowering in fear.

Joel Brown writes up some award some saxophonist who went to Harvard is getting from the U, but, honestly, we couldn't read the post because we were too busy staring at the photo of the guy made up to look like the Jolly Green Giant. Only with a saxophone instead of a bag of peas.

Los Angelenos not used to 50-degree temperatures making a movie:

Chris Devers watched the moviemakers near between Watertown and Brighton today as they filmed some faux rowers for the movie about Facebook.

Mary Pierce posts video of gun-toting nuns at Commercial Street and Foster Street as part of, naturally, Ben Affleck's roving art installation, Guns on the streets of Boston. Actually, it looks a lot like a lot of people milling around not doing anything much besides shooting guns, then the nuns show up, then everybody goes back to milling about, firing weapons.

Oops, did I just give the plot away?

As first reported here, councilors Murphy and Linehan want to look at building a movie production facility in Boston. The Herald reports developer Tim Pappas may already be on the case and scouting land off Summer Street past the South Boston convention center.

Jay Fitzgerald suggests the 500 block of Harrison Avenue:

... There's an abandoned brick warehouse/garage around there that has an old stately look to it – and I've always wondered why it hasn't been converted into a theater or condos or something. ...

I'd propose a third possibility: The old Stop & Shop warehouse off Neponset Valley Parkway in Readville. It's a huge, now mostly dormant facility, with plenty of room for expansion. It's not that far from 128 and it has its own rail spur for Tom or Ben's private train.

Inclement weather notwithstanding, I'd say the inaugural Boston Book Festival is a success that must become an annual event. I think there has been an unquenched thirst for something like this in Boston, so let's hope that this year's launch is only the beginning.
