Here’s the links you need to click for Monday, May 24, 2010.

• Chris Thilk shares some thoughts on how he’s halted the regular linking to Movie Marketing Madness on Twitter, and the short-term results. Also, congrats to Chris on six years of MMM.
• Did you see what “Empire Strikes Back” would have looked like if it were made in the 50’s?
• Boba Fett! (where?) Boba Fett!
• My cat likes the dog’s food.
• You’re all ready for the premiere of “Mister Rogers & Me” from my pal Ben Wagner and his brother, right? Congrats, guys!

Okay, I’m not trying to be a total jerk by skipping the awesomeness of this post from Anil Dash – you’ve really got to read the whole thing – but I wanted to share this excellent video that I’ve watched a couple of times, but forgot to share it here.

Check out how someone who’s never seen “Star Wars” before relates the story of the film and those that followed it, just by putting together what they’ve “heard” from others.

These are links. You should click them. Here are some reasons why.

• In this week’s edition of “What Exactly Is Gawker’s “beat” These Days” news, I point to their recap of last night’s “Mad Men” and turn my head like an RCA dog.
• How fast is Usain Bolt, really? Some ESPN staffers found out.
• In case you missed this one, check out some fun that the New Yorker had with a recent NYT review of The Beatles: Rock Band.
• Could the “Tribute in Light” that graces lower Manhattan every year around September go dark in 2010?
• Gruber points to William Safire’s favorite New Yorker cartoon.
• If you were a digital Robin Hood, apparently you’d start at Facebook and head back to MySpace with whatever you’ve got. Or something like that. Or maybe you’d just sit on MySpace all day and post updates to Twitter.
• The amusing thing about this computer tumor is that it’s probably totally representative of the RAM bloat that your applications are chomping on, and will give you a good idea when you need to reboot.

• OMG “Star Wars” bathrobes! [via Gizmodo]

If you haven’t seen the latest iteration of the gangsta raps of the “Star Wars” universe, then you’re clearly missing out. It’s 100% inappropriate for work, so don’t say I didn’t warn you, and it’s also 100% inappropriate for you to watch if your mom or dad is around. Okay, maybe those are the same things.
