A fine reader of this blog is a former schoolmate of racist fantasy writer and Marvel shill wannabe Kenneth Eng (God of the Universe). This tipster writes in to gossip with us:
I went to NYU around the same time he was enrolled, and a number of my friends had classes with him. He was quite notorious at the time, both for his complicated philosophical curliques and for his strangely simple, unimaginative racism. A friend of mine once had him in a screenplay class, and he wrote something about an Asian superhero kicking a nuclear missile off course to save China, only he kicked it into a stadium full of black people. When asked why the superhero didn't just kick it into the ocean, his reply was, "Well, there's never been a black genius."
Even better, our tipster has sent us Eng's unpublished, unseen screenplay, 0th Dimension:
A friend who had never even heard of Eng and didn't go to NYU was temping at a management agency in LA and received a number of calls from him. More importantly, Eng passed along a screenplay he'd been working on. It's called "0th Dimension" and it's probably the funniest thing I've ever read. Someday, a reading should be organized.
Indeed! I'm reading the screenplay now, and will have a full report (plus choice quotes) for you tomorrow. Hold on to your hats and get ready for . . . the 0th Dimension!
