Writer’s Distractions - Enterprise A Submarine

http://static.squarespace.com/static/4ffda794c4aa4bff484ca623/t/519903bde4b0724ab77140a1/1368982463839/uss-enterprise-submarines.png?format=500w

You’d almost think I had Star Trek on the brain or something lately…


This is an absolutely gorgeous retrofit of a model of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A into a remote controlled submarine. The resulting film is outstanding and shows the grace with which these ships can move.

Writer’s Distractions - Lord of the Rings’ Hobbiton Sets Abandoned

http://bit.ly/10aAp5a

You can’t see this any more in real life, but between the filming of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Hobbiton was left abandoned and disassembled, the set stripped away. If you were to go there now, after The Hobbit, you’d find the hobbit village constructed for real and visitable. 

This temporary relic remains only in photographic records now, and carries an empty quality that I like quite a bit.

Star Wars Alternate Book Cover

Star Wars has a rich history of immediately recognizable imagery associated with it. We’re used to seeing it on posters, book covers, movies, merchandise of all kinds. Seeing something without​ it can be pretty jarring…



This is a 1977 edition of the Star Wars original novel by George Lucas, published by the Science Fiction Book Club.​
