OK, I’ll post more later after I re-watch the episode, but it was damn cool. I gotta say, I feel satisfied with the episode. I’m not chomping at the bit for next season because I really just want to mull over EVERYTHING for the next couple of months and get prepared. They gave SO much info it’s a bit overwhelming.
****** POSSIBLE SPOILERS ***********
First tidbit: the call that Kate received was backwards. Here’s the reversed audio.
Dharma’s doing space/time experiments - I’m curious to read timelooptheory.com‘ s take on the new space/time info and so should you.
Michael is dead. Jacob’s emissary (Christian) tells Michael he “can go now.” This does not mean, “get off the boat,” it means he is no longer in service of the island, he is released to do what he came there to do…die.
F’you, Jin is still alive.
I must say again. Ben Linus is the man. So over on Dube’s blog she theorizes that Ben moved the island forward in TIME, not space about 3 years. I think I agree with the time thing, but not the 3 years. Does anyone (Cesar) have info on when Ben appeared in the desert? Also, Ben took out a special forces guy. Come on seriously…he’s badass.
OK, more later, too much to think about. Oh yeah, this ep gets a 10. No question. Cliffhangers, answers, questions…all good.
So we took in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this weekend, with I admit some apprehension because of some mixed reviews coming out. It’s a good thing I don’t listen to critics because I thought it was great. Great story, strong performances, familiar faces and just some good old fashioned fun.
A lot of people have been coming down on the story, and I think this is where I am going to differ the most. The film definitely has a sci-fi bend to it and for me that works great. I think because the first films delved heavily into theology in one form or another, people were expecting the same. They all deal with some sort of mysticism, the new film included. The mysticism simply has its roots in different areas.
Harrison Ford and Karen Allen held up pretty well. They both look like they have aged 20 years, but they are still watchable and attractive people that fit comfortably into their roles. Shia Lebeouf also gave a great performance once again, he’s shaping into a great actor.
If you enjoyed the first three Indy flicks you should not leave the theater disappointed in any way.
A new red-band trailer for Tropic Thunder is online and it looks absolutely over the top. Robert Downey Jr. looks to be hitting big again, and some early screenings have met with extremely positive reviews.
Alas we will have to wait for August, but I think that’s a good thing. Usually we only get crap towards the end of the summer movie season, maybe this year will be different.
In this episode of iconogeek Chuck and Jay discuss Ironman, but first…North Carolina vs. New York weather patterns and snow removal tactics are in order. The differences don’t stop there as Chuck’s incontrovertible theory about why NY pizza is the best in the world is let loose on an unsuspecting public.
Memories of perforated Pizza (yes, Ellio’s), toaster ovens, and childhood dinner schedules become the topic of conversation as Jay and Chuck announce the first iconogeek invention – the Pizza Pie.
The iconogeek food-fest continues with Jason’s freaky cereal exploits and connections to the even weirder cereal practices. During which we discover that the camera adds 75 pounds.
In the worst segue ever, Chuck tries to divert the conversation to Ironman, and the discussion turns to why they want to be Tony Stark’s friend and Jeff Bridges as a badassedness. The show wraps with Marvel’s upcoming slate.
