Hollywood Lost and Found

Hollywood Lost and Found
   <http://hollywoodlostandfound.net/>

A collection of trivia about "Hollywood", such as sound effects, props and locations.

Includes an interesting article on the ubiquitous and legendary "Wilhelm Scream"
(actually a collection of screams).  The screams were originally recorded for a
1951 movie and have been used in many movies since then, such as Star Wars (each
episode so far), Toy Story and Spider-man.
