Orwell turns in his grave
Orwell turns in his grave
08/30/2004 03:46 PMPresident Bush takes plenty of flak for his less-than-eloquent
locution, but impromptu fumblings aside, his latest campaign statement
on Iraq is a calculated exercise in cognitive dissonance -- an
astonishing attempt to whitewash the post-invasion debacle by
indirectly "blaming" the U.S. military's victorious surge to Baghdad
last year. On the eve of the Republican convention, Bush said that the
daunting problems now plaguing the reconstruction are a result of a
"catastrophic success," of, "being so successful so fast that an enemy
that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to
fight another day."

Dick's from-the-grave career in
Hollywood
Dick's from-the-grave career in
Hollywood
11/19/2003 02:46 AMWith Paycheck (a new John Woo movie based on a Philip K Dick story)
opening on Christmas, the time is right for Wired to run a long
feature on Dick's life and death, and his posthumous career as a
film-writer. I have to confess that I prefer the movies built on
Dick's work to the work itself, which I often find clumsily written,
thinly characterized, and incoherently plotted -- but when streamlined
by a screenwriter and acted out by a cast of talented actors and
designed by a stylish director, Dick's work really shines.
Isa and her older half-sister, Laura Leslie, are upstanding Bay Area
citizens, both intelligent and obviously competent. Together with
their younger half-brother, Chris, who works as a martial arts
instructor in Southern California, they control their father's legacy.
Russell Galen advises them from New York. The four take their
stewardship seriously: They're fine with repackaging a novel to tie in
with a movie, for example, but novelizations of short stories are out.
And thanks to Vintage Books, every word of his fiction will soon be in
print - as you'd expect for an author who's now taught in colleges and
cited by the French post-structuralist philosopher Jean Baudrillard.
As for film deals, the estate has become increasingly choosy. "We sort
of feel like we have to protect Philip K. Dick's brand image," says
Galen. "So we set very, very high prices, and we'll only do business
with people who are established. It's ironic, because the films that
created the phenomenon started with options that were granted to
struggling filmmakers. Today, we shun people like that." Not every
movie based on Dick's writings has been a hit: The 1996 film
Screamers, starring Peter Weller, and last year's Imposter, with Gary
Sinise in the lead, grossed only $12 million between them. "But in
Hollywood, what matters is getting the movie made," explains Galen.
"If somebody options a story and it's not made, that spoils the track
record."

More on Taligent
By Don Box
Since posting my "taligent effect" entry on Saturday, I ran across this
excellent online version of Mike Potel's Taligent book.
Here's my favorite quote:
After furious internal debates in the late 1980s,
a new project, code-named "Pink," emerged. It was called Pink because,
at a meeting in 1988, key Apple engineers and managers settled on a
direction for the company by jotting down ideas on index cards and
pinning the cards to the wall in two groups: blue cards, representing
technologies that could be supported as extensions to the current
system software for Macintosh" computers, and pink cards, representing
technologies for a future dream system. The technologies listed on the
blue cards eventually formed the core of System 7, Apple's current
system software. The pink cards listed precursors of Taligent's
object-oriented system software.
As we start to enter the end game of Indigo, perhaps we should start
referring to features as "pink" features and "blue" features. The CLR
team has a euphemism for pink features - they're called
"post-Orcas."
Also interesting was my chance conversation with Chris Lovett, dev
lead and architect of the XML editor in Whidbey. He happened to
mention that he was at Taligent, and had numerous insights into why
the project ended the way it did.
[gotdotnet]
All I know is that Pink (and Jaguar) swallowed up some fine talent
- including Eric Neumann - one of MacroMind's founders. Many of those
folks went to work at Kalieda Labs.
I alre
ady told you about what Dave Kaiser did there - but did I ever
tell yah about how I was the celebrity poster child for Kalieda?
