He's got a half-built website at <a href="http://www.wizworld.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.wizworld.com/">http://www.wizworld.com/</a></p>ShabbirMon, 21 Jan 2008 01:25:06 -0000http://laughingsquid.com/michel-gondry-be-kind-rewind-master-of-space-and-time/#comment-1809450<p>Didn't Jim Henson make a 'Master Of Space and Time' film? maybe a short? I remember seeing it and in it he plays the scientist. From what I remember he runs around the streets at incredible speeds shot stop frame with Jim moving large distances between frames. Anyone else remember this?</p>NeilWed, 26 Sep 2007 03:58:34 -0000http://laughingsquid.com/michel-gondry-be-kind-rewind-master-of-space-and-time/#comment-1809451<p>I have that paperback of <i>Master of space and time</i> - it's one of Rucker's best books, though it went out of print for some time. Despite having some basis in credible(-sounding) science, it's much more readable and less dense than some of his more recent work (<i>Frek and the Elixir</i> comes to mind).</p><p>I've been looking forward to a movie of this for a while, though I really hope Jack Black isn't the protagonist (as rumors claimed long ago). This movie calls for someone smarter and a little less... manic. I could see somebody making a case for him as mad inventor from <i>Envy</i>, but really the role needs someone else.</p><p>And of course the Gary-brain attack is just screaming out to be Gondry-ized.</p>mikelietzMon, 24 Sep 2007 16:08:45 -0000
