Tempest in a Teapot

Being the crossword geek that I am, I was interested to watch Wordplay, a documentary about the American Crossword Puzzle tournament. Ok, so first clue I wasn’t as big a crossword geek as I thought I was? I didn’t know there was a tournament. Or that it’s been held every year since 1978. The documentary was vastly entertaining, however, if only for the shots of Jon Stewart commenting as he does that day’s crossword. “Come on, Shortz! Bring it!” I even found myself squealing like a little fan girl when Will Shortz was on screen. Seriously, the man is so smart he makes MY brain hurt. Good flick and I would highly recommend it!
