Good point. I just have this mental image of them driving home from the Eragon premeire or some shit and her asking him if he liked it, and him lying through his teeth cause he doesn't wanna end up on the couch. Kinda funny when you think about it.

Anyone catch the Star Wars ref when Sawyer shoots the speaker? Kinda loose, but still.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm all for studying art, discussing art, appreciating art, especially film. Its what I want to do in my life. But I get tired of the shit that passes for criticism. Don't try to convince me that Jurassic Park is some kind of sociopolitical metaphor for post-Reagan American. Shit like that. And

Sorry, Fred Claus was what I was thinking of. Carry on.

What is it like…
…to be married to Darren Aronofsky. I mean this guy makes masterpieces like The Fountain and The Wrestler and she's in stuff like Santa Clause 3. Trust me, I'm not belittling her, I think she's a tremendous actress, but it must be kinda weird for Aronofsky to be at like the Santa Clause 3 premier.

Or you know, maybe its just a funny movie. I swear this is what's wrong with college film courses. They teach you to take movies like this and try to make them into something so much grander. And its never anything concrete, but always just injecting some BS into your favorite flick. Study something that actually has

Yeah I was underwhelmed by No Country. Personally I don't think they'll ever touch Lebowski. Best comedy ever made, and this is coming from a guy who worships the ground Python walks on.

The oldest game in the world.
It appears now that the show is going back to Season 1 in Locke talking to Walt about Backgammon- white vs. black, light vs. dark, oldest game in the world. The conflict b/t Jacob and this other guy seems to be what the show has been getting to all along. Thoughts on this:

Can I not be the key? I don't want to be the key. Aw horsefeathers!

Not as bad as my encounter with fake ReMax. Now I'm homeless (posting this from a public library).

Okay, but there are some good things. Alex's death was obviously unplanned and affected him deeply, they've shown this several times. Ben doesn't kill kids and stood up to Widmore because he believed in this. This caused him to stop from killing Penny (who, to be fair, he knew nothing about). Plus there are little

WTF
This is the first taste test that really grossed me out. Had to stop watching that video when I saw that murky, pink, liquidy shit. What the fuck kind of god allows something like that to happen.

Great interview…
…with a hilarious picture. Might we be getting more LOST interviews before the season finale?

One thing LOST has done really well has been Ben's character. Everytime I think I have him pegged they throw another curveball. Plus Emerson is an amazing actor. Personally, I agree with mrs. izzard that he'll be vindicated in the end. But I might have a different opinion next week.

I'll agree on Zack Snyder
Fuck him. I can't really think of any "lifetime grudges," other than obvious ones like the guys behind Epic Movie or shitty bands like Fall Out Boy.

@Warren: Big fan of Cassavetes, such an underrated filmmaker. Is Jarmusch similar? And I've seen both Plan 9 and Glen or Glenda, though I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

Here's a quote: Fuck you.

Still yet to get into Jarmusch…
is that automatic cause to have my hipster card revoked?

Paul Verhoeven is God
A Showgirls reference? Hell yes!

I feel like Locke was hinting at something when speaking to the Others about Jacob. As if he knew there was some lie or myth being perpetuated. I don't want to go so far as to say that Jacob is not real, but we may have a Wizard of Oz moment in the finale. Overall, we don't ACTUALLY know anything about Jacob or the
