I LOVE THIS BOOK, "TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW." I WANT TO GET INTO IT.
BUT I WANTED TO SHOW SOMETHING, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T -- NO ONE STARTS WRITING NOVELS.
THEY START -- EVERYONE HAS - >> WELL, AS A BABY, I JUST CAME OUT AND STARTED WRITING NOVELS
>> Jimmy: JUST STARTED WRITING BOOKS. >> THAT'S HOW THAT WORKS
>> Jimmy: NO, BUT TALK TO ME ABOUT, YOU WERE A HIGH SCHOOL -- WHAT WAS IT?
A CONCERT CRITIC WHAT WERE YOU? [ LAUGHTER ]
A MUSIC CRITIC >> I WAS A MUSIC CRITIC FOR THE FORT LAUDERDALE "SUN SENTINEL.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> THEY HAD A -- [ INDIVIDUAL CHEER ]
WOW, OKAY. WAVE FOR FORT LAUDERDALE >> Jimmy: YEAH, ONE PERSON,
YEAH [ LAUGHTER ] YEAH, YEAH
>> YEAH, THEY HAD A SPECIAL TEEN SECTION AND I WENT TO A GUNS N' ROSES
CONCERT, AND WHEN I GOT HOME THAT NIGHT, THERE WAS A REALLY MEAN REVIEW, INSULTING TO AXL,
INSULTING TO THE BAND. >> Jimmy: NO >> YOU KNOW.
AND SO, I WROTE AN ANGRY LETTER TO THAT NEWSPAPER. AND I ENDED UP GETTING HIRED TO
REVIEW, LIKE, CONCERTS AND CDs >> Jimmy: LIKE, A TEEN CONSULTANT -
>> YES >> Jimmy: -- CRITIC. THIS IS -- I MEAN, THIS IS
CAMERON CROWE, MAN THIS IS HOW EVERYONE, BUT I LOVE THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
IT SAYS HERE'S -- IT SAYS, "IF SOUTH FLORIDA EVER SEES A CONCERT OF THIS CALIBER
AGAIN, THAT CONCERT WOULD DEFY THE LAWS OF NATURE AFTER ALL, LIGHTNING NEVER
STRIKES THE SAME PLACE TWICE." WELL WRITTEN >> THANK YOU
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: AND STICK UP FOR AXL, AND SLASH, AND DUFF, AND
EVERYBODY. [ LAUGHTER ] GUNS N' ROSES.
WELL, "TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW," BIG HIT, BY THE WAY.
YOU'VE BEEN ON "THE NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER LIST, TOP TEN LIST, FOR NOW -- SINCE IT CAME
OUT, ACTUALLY. >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: YOU WERE ACTUALLY --
I HEARD THAT YOU'RE VERY EXCITED THAT IT CA -- IT OPENED AT NUMBER THREE.
>> WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH IT BEING NUMBER ONE
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT I WAS -- I WAS REALLY EXCITED WITH THREE AS WELL,
BECAUSE THERE'S THREE TOMORROWS IN THE TITLE >> Jimmy: OKAY
>> THAT MAKES SENSE, RIGHT >> Jimmy: YEAH, TOMORROW, TOMORROW, TOMORROW
>> AND I WAS ALSO THEN EXCITED WHEN IT WAS NUMBER FIVE, BECAUSE THERE'S TWO ANDS THERE,
SO, YOU'VE GOT TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: OKAY >> AND WHEN IT WAS NUMBER SEVEN, STILL EXCITED, BECAUSE
THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO COMMAS AFTER EACH TOMORROW. [ LAUGHTER ]
NO, THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT'S - [ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S RIDICULOUS. BUT HOW DO WE DESCRIBE THE BOOK
>> WHENEVER ANYBODY ASKS ME TO SYNOPSIZE THE BOOK, I BASICALLY PANIC, BECAUSE I THINK THE
BOOK'S PRETTY COMPLICATED. >> Jimmy: IS IT REALLY >> BUT, SO, I'VE STARTED
SAYING, IT'S JUST ABOUT LOVE, ART, VIDEO GAMES, AND TIME WHICH I KNOW SOUNDS REALLY
VAGUE. SO THEN I ADD, "WELL, IT'S ABOUT THESE TWO KIDS WHO MEET
AS CHILDREN, AND THEY SPEND THE NEXT 30 YEARS PLAYING GAMES AND MAKING GAMES."
YOU KNOW AND IT'S SORT OF ABOUT WHAT IF THE PERSON WHO'S THE MOST
IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE WASN'T ANY OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS
WHAT IF IT WASN'T, LIKE, YOUR WIFE OR YOUR KIDS? WHAT IF IT REALLY WAS YOUR
COLLEAGUE AND YOUR FRIEND? AND I THINK THE BOOK REFLECTS MY BELIEF THAT A GREAT LOVE
STORY CAN ALSO BE A GREAT FRIENDSHIP STORY >> Jimmy: YEAH
SEE. LOOK AT THAT RIGHT NOW, EVERYONE'S LIKE,
"YES." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE IT IS THAT GOOD.
I LOVE -- SO, I'M READING IT, AND I GO, OKAY, "TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW," I KNOW
IS FROM MACBETH. BUT WHAT IS THE CONNECTION FOR YOU BETWEEN "TOMORROW, AND
TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW"? >> WELL, I HAVE TO SAY, WHEN YOU DID YOUR LITTLE VIDEO ABOUT
IT, YOU HAD THE TITLE EXACTLY RIGHT. SO, WHILE IT DOES COME FROM ONE
OF THE BLEAKEST SPEECHES IN ALL OF SHAKESPEARE - >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S MACBETH'S ACT FIVE SOLILOQUY AND NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS IN ACT
FIVE OF MACBETH TO ANYBODY [ LAUGHTER ] BUT THE CHARACTER WHO, LIKE,
CITES IT IN MY NOVEL, HE ACTUALLY FINDS GREAT HOPE IN IT
THE IDEA THAT EVERY DAY WE'RE ALIVE IS A CHANCE TO START AGAIN.
AND CONVENIENTLY FOR ME, HE ALSO FINDS A METAPHOR FOR VIDEO GAMES WITH THEIR INFINITE LIVES
AND INFINITE CHANCES AT REDEMPTION, WHICH I THINK IS SOMETHING YOU REALLY HIT UPON
WHEN YOU WERE GUESSING WHAT THE TITLE WAS. >> Jimmy: YEAH
I DID -- GREAT SO, I DID SAY THAT, YEAH >> YOU DID SAY THAT.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: THANK YOU. YEAH, BECAUSE I WAS THINKING, I
DO LOVE GAMES, AND I LOVE ALL THE REFERENCES TO GAMING WE WERE JUST TALKING BACKSTAGE
OUR PARENTS BOTH WORKED AT IBM GROWING UP >> YES
>> Jimmy: BY THE WAY, I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH IBM. THEY WERE REALLY GREAT
>> YEAH, NO -- LIKE, PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW IBM WAS, LIKE, YOUR WHOLE LIFE IF YOUR PARENTS
WORKED THERE THERE WERE CHRISTMAS PARTIES, THERE WAS, LIKE, FAMILY FUNDAY
>> Jimmy: FAMILY DAY YES. >> YOU KNOW?
>> Jimmy: YES, FAMILY DAY WAS GREAT. >> AND SO WE WERE THINKING,
MAYBE WE WENT TO THE SAME ONES >> Jimmy: YEAH, MAYBE. >> MAYBE
>> Jimmy: WE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE TOGETHER >> WE -- BUT WE AREN'T -- SO,
WE'RE BASICALLY RELATED THROUGH IBM. >> Jimmy: YES, WE ARE.
WE'RE IBM BROTHER/SISTER, YEAH >> RIGHT WHICH YOU CAN TELL
>> Jimmy: BUT THERE'S SO MANY REFERENCES THERE TO "OREGON TRAIL.
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT REALLY GOT ME
'CAUSE THERE'S TWO FRIENDS THAT HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THEY'RE YELLING ACROSS THE TRAIN STATION. AND HE GOES, "SADIE, SADIE."
AND SHE'S NOT TURNING AROUND HE GOES, "SADIE, YOU DIED OF DYSENTERY.
>> RIGHT [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: AND THEY DECIDE TO
MAKE A GAME TOGETHER >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: AND THAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING. 'CAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A A LOVE STORY WHERE YOU'RE LIKE,
"OH, THAT'S A NEW TAKE ON" -- I'VE SEEN EVERY HALLMARK MOVIE [ LAUGHTER ]
AND I GO - BUT THE GAMES ARE GENIUS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THEM
AND THEN I HEARD THAT MAYBE THEY MIGHT BE IN DEVELOPMENT >> WELL, THEY MADE
"EMILYBLASTER," AS YOU KNOW. >> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT. >> SO, YOU CAN PLAY THAT
YOU KNOW >> Jimmy: CAN YOU EXPLAIN "EMILYBLASTER" TO PEOPLE
>> YES SO, IT'S A GAME THAT MY CHARACTER, SADIE, MAKES IN
COLLEGE. AND YOU SHOOT FRAGMENTS OF THE POETRY OF EMILY DICKINSON.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] SO YOU CAN GO -- IF YOU'VE EVER WANTED TO SHOOT
EMILY DICKINSON'S POETRY, WHICH, WHO AMONG US HASN'T [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: I MEAN, THIS IS -- >> RIGHT >> Jimmy: WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN
INVENTED >> WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN INVENTED
>> Jimmy: EXACTLY. >> YOU CAN PLAY THAT AT EMILYBLASTER.COM
BUT, YOU KNOW. BUT THE OTHER GAMES, YEAH. LIKE, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM
GET MADE I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW WHEN WE READ A BOOK OR WE WATCH
A MOVIE, WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND GAMING STORYTELLING IS SO
DIFFERENT THAN BOOK STORYTELLING OR MOVIE STORYTELLING
IN A WAY, YOU GET TO BE A PART OF IT IN THIS REALLY ACTIVE WAY.
AND SO I THINK IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF PEOPLE MADE GAMES >> Jimmy: IT ALREADY GOT -- THE
RIGHTS GOT SOLD. SOMEONE BOUGHT THIS TO MAKE A MOVIE OUT OF THIS, RIGHT
>> YES SO - >> Jimmy: COME ON.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE COME ON. I MEAN, COME ON!
