You know its going be a good site when the home page resembles the packaging of the videotape of A Bridge Too Far. The other pages, like most of the cast, are easy on the eyes but hurtful on the brain. I was encouraged to see episode titles have evolved from Devil With the G String On to Great Sex-Pectations. (Tongue in cheekme? I leave that to such veterans as Alison and Michael.) I left wondering if anyone will ever put out a similar show that has at least three characters named Rich. Or, hell, Ismael! Then maybe Id watch. - Ismael Marrero
Take a trip through virtual Vegas on the site that pays tribute to long-time lounge favorite Bud E. Luv. You can gamble, mix and mingle, and buy drinksorder a Scotch and Bud. E. may even tell you about the pointers he gave James Bond. The faint of heart can sit back and request a song, meet the babes, or get tips from the Budster on gals, grooves, and glamour. You can also meet the band, get show information, and shop for shot glasses, CDs, and panties (?!). Bud E. Loves been doing his night club schtick for at least a few good decades, and its all tongue-in-cheek, in good fun, and well presented ... just like this site. - Emily Soares
The editors of this zine dedicate their talents to spreading the gospel of James Bond, the heavy-smoking, hard-drinking, fast-driving, womanizing Messiah sent to deliver us all from the suffocating oppression of political correctness. MKKBB stakes some meaty features, such as one mans confession that he prefers Roger Moore to Sean Connery, closeups on Bond filmmakers, and the story of James Bond music. Well researched and presented, the information includes news and reviews of Bond media, well-annotated Bond links, and a rare radio interview with the creator himself, Ian Fleming. - Emily Soares
This fascinating site documents an obscure, fundamentalist Christian cartoonist named Jack Chick. You may have encountered Chicks tracts in bus stations, phone booths, or at school (where they were passed around for laughs). The site outlines the extensive body of work Chick has penned over the last thirty years and tells you what Chicks been trying to say. According to the Archives creator/curator, Robert Lee, who is himself a former Christian, Chicks works were considered too sensational for distribution in most Christian circles, because of the mans fascination with all manner of sin, degradation, and other hell-fire activity. Lee thoroughly covers the various Chick series, characters, motifs, and highlights. - Emily Soares
It's nice that Kingswood Advertising devotes a portion of its Web presence to trying to make people laugh, but this humor zine with a brain theme reads like it was put together by people who've spent too much time in long client meetings and are suffering from low blood sugar. The sections purport to have different themes, but the jokes all have a similar ring: In Gray Matter, "Awards You've Probably Never Heard of: The JerrysHonoring big-haired talk show hosts and sitcom stars for Lifetime Achievement in shallow entertainment"; In Synapses, "O.J.'s Future Source of Income: Autographed Swiss cutlery, Endorsement for Bruno Magli 'Great Escape' running shoes." These examples are guaranteed representative; if you laughed at them, you may enjoy this site. - Sandra Stewart
With programming ranging from Shakespeare and opera to rock movies, cult films, and TV classics, Bravo is probably the most eclectic of cable TV's arts channels. This thorough online guide gives you several ways to sort through the lineup: You can check the daily schedule, see the week's highlights, or search for programs by typedance, music, drama, and so on. The site also lets you view Shockwave and QuickTime samples of work featured on the Art on File digital art program. The Bravo Channel could provide a bit more background on its shows, but the site is easy to navigate and makes good use of online technology. - Sandra Stewart
Select the genres that interest you in a variety of entertainment categories, and Open Sesame produces a contents page with links to up-to-date information based on your selections. If you say you like comedies, for example, the Movies section will give you the nuts and bolts on a couple of new films in that genre and maybe some links to reviews and a trailer. The free service works with a selected group of major "content providers," so you'll get Los Angeles Times and Chicago Sun Times reviews, books available at Borders, and Sony and New Line movies, among others. The interface is well designed and supposedly develops a more sophisticated sense of your tastes over time, but Open Sesame could use a greater variety of suppliers. - Sandra Stewart
