“Ralph McQuarrie was the first person I hired to help me envision Star Wars . His genial contribution, in the form of unequaled production paintings, propelled and inspired all of the cast and crew of the original Star Wars trilogy. When words could not convey my ideas, I could always point to one of Ralph’s fabulous illustrations and say, ‘Do it like this.'” [via WSJ ]

Remember the short documentary that Errol Morris released last year in commemoration of the 48th anniversary of JFK’s assassination? Not for nothing, but there’s plenty more where that came from — and it sounds… interesting : “I wondered why [he drove] because we offered to fly him in. So I’m interviewing him. He gets up. He walks off. He comes back. And he has a Mannlicher-Carcano, just like the one Oswald used. He wanted to demonstrate for me the enormous difficulty of firing those shots in rapid succession.” [ Smithsonian ]

Can something be considered fan fiction if it’s also an official, canonical studio product? I’m going to argue yes, absolutely, because with The Muppets , Jason Segel has crafted what can only be described as the most extravagant work of fan fiction ever, Mary Sue-ing himself into the Muppet universe as a character who helps reunite the gang in order to save their old theater and the day. Segel, who co-wrote the film with Nicholas Stoller, even leaves his own tentative mark on Jim Henson’s beloved ensemble by inserting a personal addition in the form of alter ego Walter (voiced by Peter Linz), his character’s Muppet brother and the group’s most devoted fan even when the rest of the world seems to have forgotten about them. Fandom can be a precarious thing — someone’s devotion to the source material he or she is adapting to screen can sometimes lead to being too cautious with it, too respectful to do what’s best for the movie instead of only for the hardcore supporters. But the love Segel has for the Muppets is a genuine, perceivable and positive quality that suffuses this good-hearted revitalization of the franchise, and if some wish fulfillment sneaks in there too, it seldom gets in the way of the enjoyment to be had.

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 48 years ago today in Dallas, Texas, prompting what would become the biggest single market in conspiracy theories until 9/11. Many of them came bundled in such staggeringly ambitious work as Oliver Stone’s JFK , Don DeLillo’s Libra , and Josiah “Tink” Thompson’s exhaustive Zapruder film study Six Seconds in Dallas — the latter of which filmmaker and Movieline favorite Errol Morris reconnects with today for an intriguing new short exploring the legend of that fateful day’s “Umbrella Man.”

On this day in 1958, a baby boy named Kevin Norwood Bacon was born in Philadelphia. Seventeen years later, he would leave home to pursue a career in theater, only to find his way onto the big screen via a role in Animal House . Over thirty years after making that film debut, Bacon has established himself as one of America’s most beloved actors (and the subject of one of our favorite parlor games). Now let’s celebrate Bacon’s birthday the only way we know how — by pinpointing his finest onscreen moment.
The rest is here:

Being friends with many people who are in the baby-having stage of life, I know that coming up with an original name that isn’t too original — but that also isn’t criminally overused — is a lot more difficult than it looks. So, in some ways, I feel for the new parents who decide that it’s just easier to write the name of one of their favorite television personalities on a birth certificate, instead of something “new.” That said: You had the gall to name your kid Finn ? And Bristol ? Oh, God, hang on while I vomit all over the keyboard.
