Previously on Lost

"The idea first came to Jeff Curtin and Adam Schatz the way so many awesome ideas do: in the form of a rock opera.

Last January, the Brooklyn-based musicians were considering crafting a sweeping, "Tommy"-style tribute to "Lost," their favorite TV show. But just before the ABC drama’s fourth season, they had a thought. What if they wrote a new song after each broadcast that summarized the key events in the latest chapter of the stranded-on-an-island saga? What if they posted the tracks on their MySpace page? And what if they called themselves Previously on Lost, a homage to the plot summaries that precede each episode of "Lost"? Would people click and listen?"

Death and Taxes

"Death and Taxes 2009 is a detailed graphical account showing where your tax dollars will go next year in the most detailed and fascinating way: Everything is set to scale according to the amount of money spent on it, showing the amazing weight that military-related spending has in the total Federal budget."

Jay Walker’s Geek Library

Endlich mal ein Multimillionär, der sein Geld für sinnvolle Dinge ausgibt.

"Nothing quite prepares you for the culture shock of Jay Walker’s library. (…)  Stuffed with landmark tomes and eye-grabbing historical objects—on the walls, on tables, standing on the floor—the room occupies about 3,600 square feet on three mazelike levels. Is that a Sputnik? (Yes.) Hey, those books appear to be bound in rubies. (They are.) That edition of Chaucer … is it a Kelmscott? (Natch.) Gee, that chandelier looks like the one in the James Bond flick Die Another Day. (Because it is.) No matter where you turn in this ziggurat, another treasure beckons you…"

Screenwriting in Hollywood

Nancy Nigrosh war 25 Jahre Agentin. Nicht bei SD-6, Ci-5 oder mondo23 sondern bei IA, einer großen Agentur in Hollywood.
