The Lord of the Rings Mythology Explained - CGP Grey

modulous says...

Ah, this video would have been nice twenty years ago when I had a week long nerd argument with someone about the nature of wizards. I insisted they were like the Olympians and were basically the demi-gods of Middle Earth while my opponent was convinced they were men, citing Gandalf's apparent focus on men and hobbits. I had to trawl through a bunch of JRR and Christopher's material to win that argument - a 4 minute video may have saved me some stress!

Like JRR, I haven't been able to finish the Silmarillion (managed the first two parts only), though I did enjoy The Music of the Ainur as one of the coolest creation stories I've come across.

TYT - Sam Harris as dangerous as Sarah Palin

What a naive bunch of Noam Chomskey'esque - "it's all the Wests fault" - apologists.Lucky for them Sam Harris was not there to educate them and Damn lucky that the late, great, Christopher Hitchens was not on the panel, he would have ripped them a new one.

The original Matthew McConaughey car commercial

Fairbs says...

He kind of went from being a Keanu Reeves type guy and now is steering more towards Harry Dean Stanton or maybe even a little bit Christopher Walken. Bad early roles for his abilities maybe?

PS Ellen is rad.

I'm still puzzled how this guy went from the laughing stock as an actor to an Oscar winner and toast of Hollywood. Did he make a deal with Satan or something?

So much fun to see alums from So You Think You Can Dance included -- Cyrus, Marco, Phillip Chbeeb and choreographer Christopher Scott. Also, the main "robot" fellow has danced as the show as part of the League of Extraordinary Dancers.

Yippee! Dancers getting work and recognition as individuals!

Automata trailer

Interesting you mention Anathem - it reminded me a lot of Asimov style classic sci-fi. Great book.

Ditto on Sprawl Trilogy, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Johnny Mnemonic movie. That could have been done so well, but ughh.

I would like to see Neuromancer done by Christopher Nolan. After Inception, he might be able to pull it off. On the other hand, that being my favorite book ever, I'd probably hate any movie of it.

Yeah, I agree exactly. As a somewhat related example, I just finished reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson. In truth, it could actually make a pretty interesting and exciting sci-fi film, but it would lose virtually everything that made it a good novel (for the most part, Stephenson can get a little self-indulgent in his dialog). If you took the roughly 1000 page long book, and stripped out everything you couldn't put in a film without it becoming extraordinarily long and tedious, you'd maybe be left with about 150 pages. It could be a great film, and it would fit the three act motif, but it just wouldn't be Anathem.

That's sort of what led me to think of Neuromancer. There's lots of good, heady sci-fi there, but it's all expressed in events, action, and good but concise dialog (and there are, quite distinctly, three acts). Like all adaptations, sure some things would be lost, but the important concepts would still be there. Anathem, on the other hand, would just be a superficial event-driven story. Similarly, Snow Crash would just come across as ridiculous (though I'd be interested to see what Terry Gilliam could do with it).
