Michael Chabon's Screenplay for Spider-Man 2

In honor of Maps and Legends, Michael Chabon's first book of nonfiction, which features a pretty amazing three-tiered die-cut jacket by Jordan Crane and is available now here, we present the following Maps and Legends bonus material: Chabon's screenplay for Spider-Man 2. Chabon was the third of four screenwriters assigned to the project; he ultimately received shared "screen story" credit. As far as we know, this script hasn't been seen anywhere else, and it won't be seen here for long.

SciFi Rides

Kevin Maher's SciFi Department video last week about the cars of tomorrow got me thinking: if I could have any vehicle from any Science Fiction realm, what would it be?

The Trekkie in me instantly turns to the Enterprise-D of The Next Generation, but then I think of issues of practicality: I mean, where on earth would I park it? The flying and time-traveling DeLorean is tempting, though judging from the trilogy the thing pretty much breaks down every time you use it. I think I would have to pick the Millennium Falcon, which is an awesome looking ship, it's armed to the teeth and it somehow has the ability to turn space into time -- I assume making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs has something to do with the warping effect of hyperspace? Then again, maybe George Lucas just didn't do his homework. Either way, I think it's the all around best choice in terms of aesthetics, versatility, speed, and of course armaments.

What SciFi ride would you guys most like to cruise in?

What's the Last Sci-Fi Movie You Watched?

When it comes to genre movie fans, Sci-Fi watchers are like junkies -- we'll watch pretty much anything as long as we get our fix. And Hollywood has certainly figured that much out about us, which is why J.J. Abrams is now working on the eleventh Star Trek film, and why for every epic like Star Wars, we get bombarded with drivel like Battlefield Earth (or for that matter, The Phantom Menace).

What's the last Sci-Fi you subjected yourself to, and what did you think?
