Hollywood’s Self Imposed Bleed Out

One of my favorite web sites points to some articles concerning some of the problems concerning Hollywood. Part 1 is here, and part 2 is here.

Most telling is;

Exacerbating this issue (and with apologies to friends in the industry) is that most development staff historically possesses neither writing nor storytelling experience. What they have, and what they are mandated to exercise, is an ability to anticipate what their superiors desire. The Hollywood hierarchy is thus reactionary, and not driven to just tell a good story.

Mathematics Of Zombies

Proves that we’re all screwed.

A ZOMBIE attack would need to be countered hard and early to give civilisation any hope of surviving, according to a mathematical study.

A Canadian team - which includes an Australian researcher - has done the maths on what would happen should zombies really appear on the streets.

The first thing that comes to my mind is, I hope they didn’t get grant money for this?
