Like Getting Hit By A Meteorite Made Entirely Of Winning Lottery Tickets
That's how screenwriter Jonah Nolan describes working with Steven Spielberg on a potential science fiction epic titled "Interstellar" for Paramount Pictures.
A Great First Paragraph
Some excellent writing courtesy of Dr. Jerome Groopman:
On a spring afternoon several years ago, Evan McKinley was hiking in the woods near Halifax, Nova Scotia, when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. McKinley (a pseudonym) was a forest ranger in his early forties, trim and extremely fit. He had felt discomfort in his chest for several days, but this was more severe: it hurt each time he took a breath. McKinley slowly made his way through the woods to a shed that housed his office, where he sat and waited for the pain to pass. He frequently carried heavy packs on his back and was used to muscle aches, but this pain felt different. He decided to see a doctor.

New trailer for Alice: Madness Returns
Here's the third trailer for American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns (it ends fairly gory). It has a nice look, but I sure hope it's got a lot less jumping than the last game.

Link roundup
1. Cory Doctorow talks about what went right, and wrong, with his self-publishing experiment. (In a nutshell, the super fancy limited edition was a good idea, but the paperbacks were an overpriced disaster, and he thinks he should have sent out more review copies.) (I've liked all his books, especially Makers, and you can try them all for free at his site.)
2. I'm totally interested in every detail about alleged new Asian-themed sister restaurant to Chipotle. Via.
3. T-shirts are all on sale for $15 at Design By Humans.

Adam Hughes's homage to classic magician posters
Adam Hughes's cover to Zatanna #13 is a bit of a slapstick take on classic magician posters. You can see the rest of DC Comics' solicitations for May 2011 here.

If you missed it over the weekend, I posted some cool Twin Peaks t-shirts, mugs, and other merchandise from the Twin Peaks show in Los Angeles. And here's lots of photos that show how the restaurant (which always looks strange) looked during the show.
Saturday Night Live makes fun of Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark
Saturday Night Live featured an advertisement for a personal injury attorney specializing in injuries caused by viewings (or involvement in) Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. I love his suit and the list of possible claims at the end. Via.

Darth Revan in Clone Wars
In the this video, Dave Filoni explains that Darth Revan was very nearly included in the recent Clone Wars Episode Ghosts of Mortis. He (or she?) was modeled and the scene was animated in rough form before they decided not to use him. I asked a few weeks ago why the cartoon was so bad, and this video does a good job of explaining it. The writers and Lucas apparently spend an enormous amount of energy agonizing over how the force "works," and not remotely enough time on the basics of good storytelling.
