The Novel vs. The Screenplay: Se7en
I wrote about the differences in recognition between screenwriters and novelists, highlighting how often fade into the background while directors and actors take the spotlight. Using Se7en as an example, I discussed how Andrew Kevin Walker’s script went through multiple rewrites before becoming the neo-noir classic we know today. Despite its flaws, the novelization of Se7en holds personal significance for me, showing how a good story can transcend its medium.

Crosstalk in Stereoscopic Displays - Why 3D Movies Look Weird
Remember 3D TVs? Remember how the TV manufacturers tried to ship the idea of wearing goggles at home while watching TV, so you could experience that Avatar-style novelty from the comfort of your own couch?
