The Lost Lowdown

What They Died For is in the can (and has been for longer than I care to admit), so it should be out soon!

The End is something we've discussed, but it's a big deal, so we want to do it right! Hang in there, we will complete this journey!

The wait is over!

Almost one year after the premiere, and I still don't understand "The Return". Watching other Lynch, though, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart, showed he always had a bit of "Dougie" in his work, I just let it slide, because it wasn't 13 HOURS of Dougie-type hijinks.

I like the books, though. If we had a book podcast it would be more interesting.

looks like they are going to be in a documentary about LOST podcasters...

This project is clearly never going to happen! Kind of glad we didn't waste our time, though at the time I was disappointed they didn't contact us. Very unfair!

LOL. It's hard to keep it up for so long! I slightly regret being so negative about GSPN and Jay and Jack....
But "the spy family" still makes me giggle.

Spoiler

Yeah, it's only a few episodes before the end. I've never been entirely satisfied with the ending. Though most love it. Hard to beat it for simple family drama.

We've been watching it for the last few years, but at this point I'm glad we didn't start a podcast on it. It's become very conventional.

One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. Idris Elba does his best (with a horrible script), Matthew McConaughey is worse, but I also blame the atrocious script. If you've never read the books, it's a pile of boring, incoherent nonsense. If you have read the books, it's a pile of boring inco...

Nolan's latest is (predictably) stylish, structurally-focused, and (surprisingly) light on exposition. Relentlessly grim focus on retreat, but there are a couple of Spielbergian feel-good moments with swelling, rather bland, music (I wish he would change composers). A fairly abstract, unemotional af...

It is happening...again...for the first time...!

(Check Mr. Podcast)

New one is on its way! (Also there's a leftovers podcast, if you like that show...)

I was recently very sick and had the chance to catch up on some movies I missed over the past few years. Birdman 6 out of 10 Part madcap backstage comedy, part Barton Fink/Adaptation-esque rumination on commercialism vs art, part depressing character study. This movie is a mess. It was entertaining,...

SPOILER ALERT!! Spoiler

that's it!

No!! I like The Constant, I just think it's horribly overrated. In my ratings it would probably be a top 20 episode, but towards the bottom of that 20. I actually think that Flashes... is more interesting in a lot of ways. But maybe I'll change my mind when we get to it.

An LLD classic! Can't believe I never replied to this... I stand by everything I said, though I remember none of it!

That's a tough one since his best work is mostly in the form of extremely long novels, or extremely longs series of novels... In general the best stuff is the earlier stuff : 70s and 80s. Maybe The Shining (though personally in that case I prefer the movie, Kubrick is just too good), or Misery. If y...

I can not talk about this book without getting into detail about the plot, and so I must say very little before giving a spoiler warning. The book was entertaining and exhibits nicely King's usual style. However, some of the plot bogs down in both the historical and the fictional contexts, and the e...

Wow, the whole show only has 1.5 hours of Jack backstory... But I guess that's a movie's worth.

My problems with this story: 1. Even though smokey can have the memories of those he imitates, I don't think he shares their motivations. The smokey version of Locke is different from Locke, and probably wouldn't care about resolving Locke's daddy issues, or proving his worth to "the island". 2. Ch...

Yeah, I don't buy it for obvious reasons (they juxtaposed it with a FS about Nadia), as well as the fact that the Shannon romance was Naveen Andrews's idea. I think the core idea about the character from the beginning was his longing for Nadia. Shannon was an amusing diversion, up there with Elsa. ...

I just finished school, and I am going through a big move right now, so things have slowed down a lot. But, we will be back, I promise. New podcasts will appear.

Of course he was!

Spoiler

Of course! I should have thought of that. That bit was my favorite part of the whole thing, I'm kind of over orientation videos at this point.

I watched it, what was the topic we discussed in the finale podcast?

Of course no cabin/ash stuff. The answers were mostly Spoiler

in the Hydra orientation video

and Spoiler

Dharma was long gone when the cabin/ash stuff happened

.

There is a new True Blood Mr. Podcast up now!

That's not quite the whole podcast. There is one more segment, around 2 hours long. Total time is around 34 hours.

I'm the kid who originally thought he was going to Disneyland, realized he was also going to the Dentist's office, then decided we were going to both places, only to find out there is no Disneyland, the dentist is all there ever was.

I would like to do that, but as much as we've podcasted, I don't know where to start. I was listening to our "No Country..." podcast and at the beginning we talked about the Christian/Vincent mobisode and both agreed that Christian was smokey. I was surprised because I stopped thinking that at some ...

I'm not going to ask you to do more work than you already have, but if you could post an ordered list of all the unanswered questions going into the finale, that would make it easier to address those. I'd definitely like to do that.

Thank you for saying "via media", very apropos. Upon reflection, and watching the scene a few more times, the light cave is a bit silly. I honestly wish Mother had said less about it. I really liked Tim Roth's line in Pulp Fiction "Is that what I think it is? It's beautiful." They almost did that, b...

As a little epilogue: I finally saw Avatar, the production quality was very high, but I found almost nothing in the story or characters engaging. My favorite character was the bad guy, who was one dimensional but at least entertaining. After the first plunge into the world I was done with the ride a...

We are planning to record the podcast on Friday, so as of now, it should be posted on Saturday. I'll post another update if something else happens.

I didn't interpret the article as saying that they needed an entire episode. My take away was that they had 2 problems: 1. The outrigger chase did not fit into the story line as they developed it in Season 6. 2. It was logistically difficult to get all the actors involved with Sawyer's outrigger. M...

On expectations and artistic goals: I agree that expectations matter, but at the same time, I think it is appropriate to place value judgments on different goals. For example, if you set out to make Citizen Kane and you succeed, then I think that is objectively better, or has more aesthetic merit, t...

Thank you, sir. I will try to work all of those in before the end of the season.

I really enjoyed reading the topic of this post.

According to Lostpedia they've been inconsistent, sometimes it's in Santa Rosa, CA, sometimes it's near LA.

We did an interview with Alex from the "It Only Ends Once" podcast.

Here it is:

Hey, Greggory wrote Eggtown, he's a veteran. I got the impression from the official podcast that D&C micromanaged the script quite a bit, particularly in the scene involving Jacob and Richard.

Gregg Nations elliptically suggested that the 10-22-04 date was a prop error by saying that "two of the numbers are correct, one is wrong". That doesn't surprise me, although it's only b/c such errors have happened so often I've become numb to it. Disappointing that they still let stuff like that s...

This is just to let everyone know we will be recording the podcast tomorrow (Sunday), and so it will not post until early Monday.

For reasons yet to be revealed, the podcast will not post until some time on Monday. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait.

I'm assuming that MIles didn't read MIchael's mind, but just used intuition.

I'm still confused about the timeline thing...more on the podcast.

Yeah, I don't buy it for obvious reasons (they juxtaposed it with a FS about Nadia), as well as the fact that the Shannon romance was Naveen Andrews's idea. I think the core idea about the character from the beginning was his longing for Nadia. Shannon was an amusing diversion, up there with Elsa.

Nice!

You had me until you brought up the island underwater shot, which I think proves that the FS universe is different. I do think it is a bit odd that we haven't seen the outside world since Season 5. If and when "someone" shows up on the island, maybe then we'll have a better idea of what life is like...

Sadly, yes.
