...Universes within universes - the interdependency of all living things everywhere - is Geisel's theme in Horton. In the Jungle of Nool something foreign lands on a piece of clover. It's not a spaceship but an entire alien world: the nearly infinitesimal planet of Who-ville.

The razzle-dazzled glittered-up remains typically fall into one of two general forms. The first à la “alien fish” is a hackneyed comparison that links a scientific study to some...
...This interview. I have a production deal with HBO, so I have a couple of TV shows with them. One about the UFO alien death cult. And another one about a man trying to become the richest man in the world. So just TV shows, a couple movies, some Internet stuff. I want to try to suck in every media...
