Breaking news from 2004: The mad lads and gals on a Discord channel dedicated to all things crosswords, have a space that is dedicated to identifying the crosswords that are used as props in movies and TV shows. And those sleuths have discovered that one of your boy’s puzzles in the New York Times was used in a Michael Mann movie called “Collateral.” The still frame above shows Renaissance Man Jamie Foxx working through my puzzle from 9/28/03. I have let it be known before that I’ve always wanted something like this to happen to me ever since I saw Paul Giamatti solve my man Alex Boisvert’s New York Times puzzle while driving a car (a move I used to employ, not anymore) in the movie “Sideways.” And now, here we are. Too bad nobody remembers “Collateral” nor my puzzle from 23 years ago. Anyway, carry on.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
