Already downloaded it and watched it about ten times today (before breakfast).
So fucking excited for this movie you have no idea. It's definitely cliched for me to say this but the books came at the perfect time in my life and affected (somewhat) my world view. Now I just can't wait for this movie to come out.

when I first read the io9 article I railed against it because it was ridiculous and ignored a lot of the history of various heroes (like Cap).

I feel like if you are going to satirize religion in a way that would make it seem BAD, you should have Gervais using the Man In The Sky argument to kill people or indoctrinate others.

Haven't seen it yet
and as a new agnostic I'm still struggling with the idea of religion, so I don't know EXACTLY how it's handled here, beyond that Ricky Gervais creates it to comfort his dying mom, but if you're trying to do a satire of religion it might not be the best idea to say "Well it's a lie but it's a lie…

Staircar1: Jazz Man, about the first jazz musician to break into the mainstream market.

I feel like the cabin was a means to which Jacob could kept Smokey at bay, due to the ash surrounding it. Smokey then manipulated the chain of events that would cause Locke to free him and eventually be corrupted by him (hence him saying HELP ME in I guess it was The Man Behind The Curtain or Cabin Fever, I don't…

I feel like you might have missed a lot of the show. I'm not saying that to be critical.

Well considering she knew Charles Widmore (I don't remember if they said that they ever met again before that moment in The Variable) she knew that Desmond and Penny were an item. She knew that something happened in Desmond's life to put him on the boat to the Island, so she made him buy the ring.

They did a DHARMA series during the break between 5th and 6th season, so I imagine those videos will be on there, and the producers have said they'll put more stuff that'll answer the more esoteric questions of the show (the stuff that doesn't really play into the main storyline).

Ben didn't go to "heaven" because he didn't move on from the Island yet.

Wow, really? When Christian outright said that the stuff on the Island was real, and that everything that happened was real, excluding the flash-sideways of season six?

It was the retrospective at first, then Jin and Sun, then Charlie and Claire. By the time Juliet and Sawyer happened I knew I should cry but couldn't. I didn't sob again until Vincent and Jack at the end.

my LOST thoughts.
Here's how I feel about the ending: the on Island stuff was amazing, probably the best hour of television ever. The LAX timeline was good too, and the bits about it all being "heaven" are ok because ultimately that's what LAX was, was a place where all your demons were gone and you were happy again,…

Great episode.
I'd been tempted to skip ahead and watch it on the Starz website since everyone was saying how funny it is but I'm glad I didn't. This was the perfect moment for me to watch it, as I'm about to embark on my own script-writing/shopping to producers journey, so that whole plot thread really spoke to me.

She shows her titties on True Blood.

Went on a spending spree at the comic book store this week.
I went twice (tuesday and wednesday) because I forgot that Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine and Return Of Bruce Wayne started this week, and then wednesday for new comic book day, to grab Avengers and the new Zatanna series.

I actually introduced my (now ex) girlfriend to comics through Watchmen, although afterwards she refused to read anything else I tried to get her to read.

Well I got interested when Slaves To The Mickey Eye started, and I picked up the first three issues and then followed the second miniseries, once that was over I started looking at other comics. I had trades of a few series, like Y and Preacher, but Seaguy was what got me started with seriously collecting comics.

Lost Girls is Moore anyway, and it's awful, don't bother. I torrented it to see if it was worth it and deleted it after a few pages. The only good it did was give Moore the idea for League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I definitely agree, although it seems like most of the heroes do actually follow a certain continuity. It's difficult for writers, especially for the longer series like Batman and Superman, because so much has been written about the characters and so little of it is "actual canon" as far as the honest to god plotline…
