Movie mapness

2 November 2009

Perhaps because I’m spending so much time with words right now, I’m getting a special kick out of visual things. Here’s something great from Randall Munroe, who creates the xkcd webcomic and today brings us something a little different…

Maps of movies. More specifically, graphs of character interactions in Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, 12 Angry Men (hysterical) and Primer (ditto).

What is the deep inner meaning of all this? I dunno. I just think it’s cool, and in my opinion there’s always room for a little more cool in this fine world of ours.

Enjoy your day.

    *drools* Zack and I have always had a fascination with timelines . . .

    If I could do this with all my Hild people and plotlines it would make life so very much easier…

    It seems to be a day for movie maps — here’s something else I found today.

    I need Mel to help me figure this out, she is an authority on LotR. I’m pretty much one on Star Wars but I don’t know anything about maps.

    Wow, this is pretty cool!

    After the complexity of the LOTR & Star Wars maps, “Twelve Angry Men” is pretty darn funny.
