Stephen Strange was an arrogant doctor, until a car accident damaged his hands, leading him try every cure possible. Eventually he made his way to the East, where the story progressed, and now he's
Doctor Strange, master of magic! His thrilling tale is
set to be the first Marvel superhero movie since
Marvel was purchased by Disney. But there has been much history behind the latest movie, including a period when
Guillermo del Toro was involved and wanted to include Neil Gaiman,
a draft script by Alex Cox (1990, 5.1 mb PDF;
review), and
a draft script by Bob Gale (January 21, 1986, 3.5 mb PDF;
review). Along with these incomplete attempts, there was
the 1978 Dr. Strange TV movie, which you can watch online (
full movie with Portuguese subtitles, or
YT playlist). If you'd like another take, head to 1992 for the direct-to-video movie
Doctor Mordrid. Depending on who you ask,
it's a more or
less entertaining/accurate take (warning: spoilers) on Dr Strange. Modrid is
also online.

One day ago,
Neil Gaiman wrote the beginning of a story, which was
retweeted by BBC Audiobooks America as the
first of a thousand or so tweets that would compiled and edited to become an audiobook. People are
still contributing, and
BBCAA's blog has four scenes compiled (
1,
2,
3,
summary of scenes 1-3, and
4), for a total of 175 tweets. When 1,000 or so tweets are logged, they'll be edited into a script, and produced in a studio to make the final audiobook, which will be released for free on BBCAA's website. This isn't the first game of
exquisite corpse played via twitter that made a piece to be refined and presented in some way.
The first Twitter opera was
one of a few recent "gimmicks" to garner attention for the
Royal Opera House (
twitter opera feed,
ROH twitter feed,
ROH blog). The result, Twitterdammerung, was
given a decent review by opera critic
Igor Toronyi-Lalic.
