Exclusive: AoS Source Gets Shot Of Glenn Greenwald's Study

From where he posts his blog. Well, no wonder!

In case you care, the numbers identify his various housemates. 1 = "Ellison," 2 = "Wilson," 3 = "Thomas Ellers," 4="Rick Ellensburg," 5-8 = as of yet unidentified devoted fans/housemates of Greenwald's.

0 is of course Greenwald himself.

From Dorkafork at Bill from INDC, who also has Kevin Smith (who I don't really like) describing his odd meetings about writing a Superman sequel with the moron/hairdresser Jon Peters.

By the way: Smith can rip into the previous scripts, and Jon Peters idiotic (and money-grubbingly mercenary) ideas for the movie, but I've read what is purported to be Smith's Superman Lives script, and it is the most amateurish, fan-boyish piece of crap I have ever read in my life.

I have to throw a cautionary note on that, though, because it was so amateurish and so fan-boyish that I suspect it might have just been an amateur fanboy writing it, then slapping Kevin Smith's name on the top.

But there were a lot of links in the Internet tubes claiming this was Kevin Smith's "great" script, and you know, the Internet tubes don't lie.

PS: While I'm not a big fan of Kevin Smith's movies, I do like one movie he "did," An Evening With Kevin Smith, a compilation of his college speeches where he trashes Hollywood mercilessly. The man gives good embarassing anecdote.

That's where that bit about Jon Peters/Superman Lives is from. (Superman Returns was known in development as Superman Lives for a long time.)

Now, if you're a fan of Kevin Smith, or Prince, or just like hearing very embarassing stories about celebrities, check out this long, long, long but very funny four part rip on the weirdness that is Prince.

I know, you're thinking, "I already knew Prince was weird."

Oh, dear. Darlings, you don't know the half of it.

Here's one short anecdote. Prince's assistant complains that Prince lives in "PrinceWorld," and doesn't understand that some things are simply impossible. He will call her at 4 AM in the morning and say, "I want a camel, now," and she will have to argue with him that it is difficult to arrange a camel purchase and transport (and stable) at 4 AM in the morning.

Another one: At a debut party for an album, Prince asks who among the crowd has accepted Jesus as their Savior. He then divides the room up into Christians and non-Christians. Then he says, "All the women in the non-Christian section, go over with the Christians, because the Bible says that Christians can take women away from the non-Christians."

True fact. It's in the Bible. The New Revised Prince Bible, but still.
