David Mills

Sad news coming out of New Orleans today. Screenwriter David Mills has died at the young age of 48 after suffering a brain aneurysm on the set of his latest show.

Mills was on the set of Treme, the new drama set to debut on HBO April 11, when he suddenly collapsed in the middle of a conversation, said a member of the cast.

The talented writer and producer had been part of an impressive amount of different shows over the years. He started in the world of journalism, writing for The Washington Post before jumping over to the world of screenwriting. His earlier works involved story editing for the show Picket Fences, but it was not long after that he found himself in the big leagues as a writer. Mills started off scripting 9 episodes of the popular cop drama NYPD Blue. After that, he moved on to pen 3 episodes of Homicide: Life on the Street and 4 episodes of the medical hit ER.

‘Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions’ Looks Potentially ‘Amazing’

Vactor   |  

Spider-ManI’m always curious about Spider-Man video game releases because there have been amazing games and there have been not so amazing games. The latest is Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, which will see Spider-Man jumping into four separate Marvel universes! The explanation for the reality rift revolves around a mysterious artifact called the Tablet of Order and Chaos which gets shattered into four pieces, creating problems with reality.

The different realities have me really intrigued, never before in a Spider-Man title have we seen multiple realities of Spider-Man actually affect the gameplay and the story-line. Previously in Spider-Man games you would have alternate Spidey costumes but they were just skins that didn’t change how your character played.

The Incredibles #7The Incredibles #7
Written by Mark Waid, Landry Walker
Art & Covers by Ramanda Kamarga
Colors by Andrew Dalhouse
Letters by Troy Peteri
BOOM! Studios
Price: $2.99
Release date: March 24, 2010

The Incredibles is one of my favorite Pixar movies ever made. Naturally being about super heroes, this is definitely the one movie that was ripe for a comic book interpretation. When I first read Mark Waid‘s original interpretation I was extremely upset that it was only four issues. Well BOOM! Kids has since decided to make an ongoing series of The Incredibles and I couldn’t be happier with Mark Waid and Landry Walker‘s writing on the series thus far.

As the story continues in The Incredibles #7 we get a conclusion to the story of Mesmerella and Dash being grounded and powerless. This story was particularly interesting because it takes Dash completely out of his element and has him trying to figure out how to be a hero even without his powers. It is a testament to the writing team’s character development and growth, and is a good sign for issues to come. This is especially important when you have young characters like Dash and Violet in a story.

Watch Now: ‘Rift’ – A Short Film With An Eerily Timely Sci-Fi Theme
space
Tom Cheredar   |  

2010-03-31_RiftThe Large Hadron Collider is a machine that essentially smashes subatomic particles together so scientists can study the outcome. The 15-year-old project has a total cost of $10 billion and has been plagued with problems that have prevented it from operating as intended.

As of March 30, 2010, scientists working on the project had something to rejoice about as the machine was able to make subatomic particles collide head-on at energies far greater than have ever been achieved before.

And rejoice they did, very excitedly and in a few different languages as anyone who was watching the live stream provided by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN.

Personally I understood about 15 percent of what was being said during this stream, but that’s probably a generous overstatement on my part. Still, there are others who would either be bored to tears with the thought of watching it or (if forced to watch) comprehend even less than I.
