Ninja. What children’s drawings would look like if they were painted realistically (via The Monster Engine).
Such a cool idea to realise the vision of those who may not be able to completely communicate it themselves.

Reminds me of Jenny Holzer’s Truisms but actually ring so true!

“Last season on Mad Men, in the episode in which Don Draper writes his journal, the show featured its first-ever voice-over narration, which became a point of contention among critics on the Internet: “Somebody wrote, ‘Well, we learned one thing about Don — he’s not a good writer.’ Some of that was from somebody’s actual journal. And some of that was very important to me. And I was like, ‘You want to know what’s going on in Don’s head? He’s going to actually tell you.’ Some people were like, ‘You’re not allowed to do that. There’s no voice-over on the show.’ And I’m like, ‘Go fuck yourself. Go get your own fucking show. Don’t write on the Internet what I’m allowed to fucking do.’” — Matthew Weiner (via thebronzemedal)
Weiner shouldn’t have to even say it but glad he does. Get your own show!
“Before you make a complete fool of yourself when you send a link to your friends, colleagues or twitter followers, enter it here to make sure it’s fresh enough. “

“Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read; I loved to listen to music; and I love cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved. Those three things haven’t changed from my childhood. I know what I love, still, now. That’s a confidence. If you don’t know what you love, you are lost.” — Haruki Murakami, interviewed in The Guardian. (via thebronzemedal)
Straightforward, wise.

“I have a theory — our job isn’t to lie to the audience, our job is to find the truth in the character. If we lie, we’re giving the audience a little pinch of poison. They won’t even know they ingested it. But if you lie again and again and again, all of a sudden, your audience is going, ‘This isn’t working for me.’ They just feel sick, and they turn you off.” —
Bryan Cranston, quoted in a terrific NYT Magazine piece on Breaking Bad, which is about to start airing its fourth season. (via thebronzemedal)
Great perspective on story telling and universal themes - I love how they note that karma is like a character in the show.
