knowledge is power... for *real* 

       A SHERIFF, a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN in her thirties, has a 
       revolver leveled on Jack from the kitchen’s open back 
       door.  Jack smiles, raising his hands.

                           JACK
                 You shouldn’t point those things at 
                 people.  They’re dangerous.

                           SHERIFF
                 Only if I pull the trigger.

                           JACK
                 I wasn’t talking about the gun.

                           SHERIFF
                 Neither was I.

       They stand there a moment, confused by their own wit.


From the script’s opening to Ben Stiller’s Heat vision and Jack, a pilot that was not picked up, but is available for viewing on the interwebs.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
