- The greatest news ever: Stephen Colbert's DNA is being shot into space. [CNN] - So, basically, if humanity is ever destroyed, aliens will still be able to clone Colbert. Suddenly, I feel a little better about our future.
- There's an Evil Dead musical? And Sam Raimi's going to make a movie of it? In 3-D? Okay! [Ain't It Cool News] - It's the 3-D that makes it art. Awesome!
- Coney Island's Astroland amusement park closed for good this past weekend. [Yahoo News] - Honestly, this makes me sad I didn't drive the extra 30 minutes to see it when I had a chance this summer.
- 50 Greatest Arts Videos on YouTube [The Guardian via Pop Candy] - Some really interesting stuff from a pre-fame Nirvana garage band video to Billie Holliday singing a heartbreaking version of "Strange Fruit."

I saw Evil Dead: The Musical and, um, it was AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteReally? I'm so jealous. Where did you see it?
ReplyDeleteSo did I! It's been in Toronto (Canada) for ages, and it's fantastic. I sat in the splatter zone and got thoroughly soaked with blood. It was incredibly hilarious. I hadn't heard of the Sam Raimi movie though, that IS exciting news.
ReplyDeleteI saw it in New York 2 Christmases ago with Aaron and his brothers. We did not sit in the splash zone, it's way campier than it is scary, and when Ash intoned "This is my boom stick!" the place went absolutely wild.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it TWICE, and I got to sit in the Splatter Zone both times.
ReplyDeleteA movie of a play of a movie. In 3D. That's the best thing ever.
Oh I'm glad you heard about Stephen Colbert. I saw the news and thought about emailing you to let you know, as it is most worthy geek news.
