An inspiring quote by Conan O’Brien:

All I ask is one thing, particularly of young people that watch. Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. It’s my least favorite quality. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and are kind, amazing things will happen.

David Chase, creator of The Sopranos, is returning to make a new HBO miniseries about the history of Hollywood filmmaking. From an article on NYTimes.com:

The series, Ribbon of Dreams, will begin with the behind-the-scenes roles played by two fictional characters – one a cowboy with some violence in his past, the other a mechanical engineer – who work for the famous early film director D. W. Griffith. It will follow them and their professional heirs through the development of the movie business.
