MOVIE OR TV PRODUCTIONS:
Every bit as overstimulating as the book it's based on.
ARTICLES AND INTERVIEWS:

AUDIO
Yes, they do. And they're awesome.
IMAGES
There's a bunch of different covers for this book—which is impressive, seeing as it's only been out for a few years—but we can all agree this is the best one.
Compare the imagery from the movie to the actual 2004 Thanksgiving Halftime Show video.
Gotta see the author himself.
