(Linus Van Pelt, in 3-D)

A reader e-mails:

has anyone ever told you you bear a slight resemblance to jim carrey?

every time i see a preview or ad for eternal sunshine of the spotless

mind, i do a double take.

No. That's a new one. The celebrities I have been told I look the most like over the years are Dan Ackroyd and Linus Van Pelt.

Update, 12:20: The Slate reviewer says Eternal Sunshine is the best movie he's seen in a decade.
