I dig the dude who tries to figure out what the princess is reading, then has a hearty chuckle over it. And of course all the tiny handheld cameras that suddenly appear when the stormtroopers and Vader arrive. Funny how I didn’t see that coming when I used to imagine as a kid what the 21st century would be like…

There’s a Ghostbusters one where they invade the main reading room at the New York Public Library.
Oh, cool – I’ll have to look that one up!
I like Improv Anywhere–most of their stuff is really clever. These staged movie scenes are funny, but not up to the standard they set a few years ago.
