This conversation can serve no purpose any longer

This is not a news show. In fact, it's not even a show.

But this is important.

Arthur C. Clarke, the legendary science fiction writer whose work inspired the classic Stanley Kubrick2001: A Space Odyssey, died early Wednesday at his home in Sri Lanka; he was 90.

Up next: I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

¡¡¡2013!!!

I keep telling you, man! Richard Linklater is awesome.

I just found out about this, but apparently Mr. Linklater has been making a film for 6 years and will continue to do so for some 5 years more.

Boyhood (or The 12-Year Movie) is a working title for the upcoming motion picture directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette. The movie is set to be released around 2013. The movie tells a story of two divorced parents trying to raise their precocious child. It will span 12 years, beginning when the child is 6 years old and ending around the time he graduates high school.

Up next: Also check out Seven Up! A series of documentaries that have followed the lives of 14 children since 1964. Starting when they were seven years old, and coming back to them every 7 years.

Hollywood Ending

One of Woody Allen's lesser appreciated works, this 2002 film starring Tea Leoni and Woody himself, has very little to do with this alternate (and I say better) ending to last year's (or this year's, depending where in the world you are) Will Smith film: I Am Legend.



Up next: I know there's alternate endings, and there's alternate beginnings. But can there ever be alternate second plot points? Discuss.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of this. Also to be included in best of 2008.
