Boing Boing talks about J.J. Abrams TED talk: Mystery in a Box.
"Abrams started his talk by showing a wrapped box he's owned for decades. It's a 'mystery package' he bought from Lou Tannen's Magic store in New York. It has a big question mark on it. He's never opened the box and never will open it because he says the mystery of what's inside the box is more interesting than anything that might be in the box. 'It represents infinite possibility; it represents hope; it represents potential... mystery is the catalyst for imagination... maybe there are times where mystery is more important than knowledge.' "
That's all well and good but his new movie Cloverfield better not end without telling us what's going on (my bet is Godzilla).
His TED talk is here and is 18 minutes long.
