  • In preparation for “The Incident”

    Coming up this Wednesday night is the season finale episode of the fifth season of Lost. In preparation for the episode entitled “The Incident” I watched the last four season finale episodes over the weekend. I picked up a few interesting trends here and there. Don’t worry, no spoilers.

    The First Finale: Exodus

    The first season finale was a much more innocent time. We hadn’t yet experienced any of the Dharma Orientation videos yet, let alone jump into the 70s and witness them being made.

    Season 1’s finale brought with it three goals: get Aaron back from Danielle Rousseau, use the dynamite to blow up the hatch door (the hatch door which we now know belongs to the Swan) and attempt rescue using the raft the survivors built.

    The raft that Michael built, actually. You remember Michael, don’t you?

  • Movies I’m willing to buy to own

    By Ryan

    1 comment

    I stopped buying movies a while ago, partially because to buy every movie I want to see isn’t sustainable, but also because of the big bought between HD DVDs and Blu-ray technology. I used to buy all sorts of movies on DVD, mainly because I really wanted to own them. But since picking up the Netflix bug a couple of months ago, the desire to own a lot of movies has left me. Instead, I only really want to buy movies that I already really enjoy, and want to have for the purposes of a commentary or many repeated viewings.

    In light of this realization, and the likelihood of my purchasing a Blu-ray player sometime this year, I’ve been compiling a list of my all time favorite movies. Thought I would share them here. Any of your favorites listed? Or any you think I should add?

    Sundance was very good to Choke, the spiritual succesor to Fight Club and brainchild of author Chuck Palahniuk, so it was granted a limited release in theaters. I’ve been waiting for this movie since devouring all of Chucks books. And I wasn’t disappointed with this one.

    Enjoyed a late night viewing of The Incredible Hulk with The GuysTM: Andrew, Justin, and Trent. We all agreed that it was much better than Hulk was five years ago.

    I just finished reading a great piece from The New York Times in which Fincher and other crew members were interviewed concerning their roles in Fincher’s upcoming movie Zodiac.

    Snatch. Transporter. Transporter 2.

    All good movies. What happened, Jason? Why did you have to go and make me look so bad in front of my friends? I vouched for your movie, I brought all kinds of people to see you and pay your salary. And you screwed me, Jason. I don’t think we can see each other anymore.

  • Snakes on a Plane

    I first saw a preview for this ridiculous movie in the theatre before X3. While it was close to being the best part of my time in the theatre, it left me wondering: what is the story behind this movie?
