let me share some cool links with you

So, I've been reading articles at Suicide Girls (which is an outgrowth of my earlier activity today: reading online resources for Sons of Ether) and saw this awesome and totally true quote from Wil Wheaton:

"Hollywood faces its greatest challenge in the history of adapting comic books to movies with Watchmen. Many executives won’t understand what it’s about. Neither will their young, allegedly hip assistants they hired out of Harvard Business School.

If Hollywood really wants to do this right, and really doesn’t want to fuck it up, my advice is to listen to the focus group at Comic-Con. I mean, really listen, because if Hollywood fucks up Watchmen, there’s going to be a nerd riot so terrifying, it will be like a thousand studio executives cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

It's from this excellent article.

Another cool article by Wil is this discussion of communication and it's ramifications on... a lot of things. I also had fun reading this, this, and this. (Diamonds and tectonic plates, holes in the universe, and an interesting theory about people in the future and us that I don't quite understand at the moment. It's late. I'm kinda tired.)

And here you probably thought SuicideGirls.com was nothin' but sexy girls. It also has science and geekery! :D

And while geeks appreciate pictures of girls on the net, girls appreciate pictures of geeks on desks, on the net. Or a table, in Steve's case, there. ;3

*patpats* They're advertising it as "A movie about the death of a superhero" which indicates that whoever wrote the ad copy read maybe the first four pages, and also that they might get the whole thing terribly wrong.

But you don't care, you're not going to see it anyway. :3
