Lost 4.07 Ji Yeon
I should've seen it.
I remember last season, when Lost had it's first flashforward, and Jack had a Razor mobile phone, one that did not exist in 2004. I thought that was odd, but did not make the connection that we were seeing a flashforward.
Same thing happened last night, in the Ji Yeon episode. We see Jin with an older mobile, probably early 2000. Again, I thought that was odd, but it was well towards the end when I finally realized that Jin's was a flashback, while Sun was a flashforward.
Then, I knew that the comment about the Chinese Zodiac was important, but I think some people at Lost knew most Americans would not know what time was the Year of the Dragon. So, yeah, I was fooled.
There was some great stuff in this episode, even though it was densely plotted. I love both Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim, and they have great chemistry. Their reconciliation after Juliet lets Jin know of Sun's affair was wonderfully acted.
Then there's the action on the boat, where the captain, Gault, gives both Sayid and Desmond the lowdown that one Charles Widmore has the black box of Oceanic 815, thus saying that this will prove Ben staged the the crash of 815. Though I assume that Ben will say the opposite.
Then there's the bizzare death of Regina, the girl wrapped in chains who just jumps off the boat, which seems to indicate that even close proximity to the Island can make you do weird stuff. And, of course, the return of Michael -now going by the alias of Kevin Johnson. While it's been pretty obvious since Ben claimed he had a spy on the boat back in the season opener that it was Michael, I got a feeling that he's not doing it because he's working with Ben. Well, he's working for Ben, in the same way I work for Borders -they have something I need, which is money. And I think Ben has Walt. Or the Island has Walt. Or Jacob has Walt. Or Walt is Jacob.
Hopefully, next week we get some more info on why Michael is on the boat. And if we'll find out who is the number 6 in the Oceanic Six. But, sadly, that will leave us with a five week gap before the final five episodes of the season begin (thanks, writers strike).
Still, I'll take that. Next week could've been the season finale.

Deathly Hallows split in two, Singer to direct Superman sequel
Warner Bros. has announced that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final film in the ginormous franchise, will be split into two films.
While not a huge surprise, my old cynical self wants to say that this reason stems from a more financial side than a need to give the best, full treatment to the last volume of J.K. Rowlings boy wizard.
Since the fourth film, the crew of the Harry Potter franchise have had to cut much of Rowling's tales down to fit it into a film that would last no longer than 2 1/2 hours. This has lead to many complaints from fans that while the jist of the story remains, much of what made the books charming have been lost.
Meanwhile, David Yates, who directed The Order of the Phoenix, and is helming this years The Half-Blood Prince, will complete the trifecta by directing the final fim.
Warners expects Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt.1 to be out November 2010, followed by part 2 May 2011.
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, director Bryan Singer has confirmed he'll return to helm Superman: The Man of Steel, the sequel to Superman Returns.
Singer told Emipre Online that he is aware of criticism about his earlier effort, which some said lacked enough action. "The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film," he said. "I'll be the first person to own up to that without making any apologies for it. I knew it was going to be that from the outset. And now that the characters are established, there's really an opportunity to up the threat levels. ... Clearly there'll be a body count [laughs]. From frame one, it will be unrelenting terror! All those teenage girls who found the movie and mooned over James Marsden or Brandon [Routh]? Well, I'm going to wake them up!"

I'm listening -Sally Kern goes all Bible and says gays are bigger threat than terrorists.
I've never realized gays had the ability to end the world. I mean, Jebus, where's my memo about this?
No matter how you spin it, this is hate. These statements will give some jackass enough reason to go out and kill a gay person. After all, they'll say, according to old Sally, they're terrorist.
Dumb woman.

Justin, Madonna and Iggy Pop make bizarre picture
Is it just me, or does Justin Timberlake look like would rather be eating dirt than standing next to Madonna -who looks like the top-knot hidden in that hair of hers is wound way to tight, turing her into another cat woman - and Iggy Pop (does he ever wear a shirt?) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony?
Geraldine Ferraro
So, Geraldine Ferraro speaks up, and tells Daily Breeze of Torrance, Calif that "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Some have called her out on that, but I think she has a point. Sure, its not all about race, but lets be honest folks, it is partly about race. I've spoken about Obama here before, mostly on what little record he actually has as the the freshman senator from my home state of Illinois.
I helped put him here today, yet his spotty at best record in the senate gives me trouble to think what he plans to do if he's elected president. I'm fine with a black man or woman or anyone of mixed race taking the highest office, I justr want them to stand on a real platform of explaining just what they intend to do once they hold that seat.
Obama has said nothing, beyond some very nebulas and trite answers as to what he'll do to help America.
I was not alive when Kennedy ran for president 49 years ago, but now I suspect why some people felt he was too young, too inexperienced to lead the nation. Of course, somewhat, he proved his critics wrong. Some still, and forever will, hate him.
I don't hate Obama, I just feel he needs a few more years in the senate to show us what he can do. I challenge anyone to give me information on what he has done as a senator. What he has done to help Illinois. Where's his record?
If this is not about the first really viable African American man running for the White House, what is it then? Race is the central issue here, and I think alot of folks are voting for him because of his race.
Because I don't see them voting for him because of his experience. He has all of about 3 years as a senator.
And that is his record. I'm not impressed.
But go on, deny, deny, deny. Ferraro is a smart cookie. She knows the score and so do I.

Sunday notes
After spending the morning on Saturday at Starbucks (got to love warm weather here, as the lovely day brought more guys out in flips. There was a nice crop of hot guys in flip flops today at this Starbucks), and buying a $20 of sneakers at Marshals I went on a bike ride. Left here at 11am and got back at 3pm. I rode all the way out to my job, and spent some time there. I was trying to figure out if this could be done -riding to work - to save on gas. It's about a seventy minute ride, so when I start at 7, I would have to be out of here by 5:45.
I mean, I can do it. I just got to convince myself (and get some reflectors and light for riding in the rising sun) to do it. I could do it, at least twice a week. Save on gas, which is the ultimate reason for doing it.
Anyways, it was tiring and ended up going to bed early. Which is usual, of course, but it was also to try and get an early start on losing that hour of sleep with Daylight Savings beginning on Saturday night, Sunday morning.
Today turned out to be okay. Even though I did not have to be there for the start of 1.04, I went to see if I could help out, because JT has a cold. But Jenn came to the rescue, so it was great and yet odd, not to have something to do.
Not a bad weekend, in the end. Nice weather, also.

Lost 4.06 The Other Woman
While not to wild about The Other Woman, I was happy to see some new information about the Island and who is after Ben.
This episode also seemed to make us viewers believe that Juliet is one of the good guys, though I still feel she (if only because its ingrained into the mythology of the series) has an agenda we’ve yet to see.
Ben supplies enough information to Locke -that Charles Widmore is trying to find the Island -something that was eluded to in last weeks episode. I guess it just confirmed it.
We got to see yet another underground component of the Island, the Tempest. This place is where the poison that Ben used on the others so many years ago. Faraday and Charlotte -who were the red herrings of this story - turn out not to be the ones to use the poison, but render it impossible for Ben to use it again.
While Ben has more or less been creepy since his debut, he took it to a new level with his obsession with Juliet. While one can’t be surprised that Ben would fall for her, it’s just another odd bit of plotting that has made season four more standard for me -cause I still can’t get over the idea that any news network would show a dead corpse like they did the “pilot” of Oceanic Flight 815. It was a contrivance to get Frank to say that it could not be the real pilot of 815, because he had no wedding ring on.
Still, I’m enjoying this season much more than I’ve had since its beginning. And according to next week’s promo, we find out who is the sixth member of the Oceanic Six. Plus, maybe, we’ll see Michael, who I still think is Ben’s man on the boat.
But that could be a red herring, also.

Book: Blaze by Richard Bachman and Stephen King
So, during his wilderness years of writing, Stephen King became two writers, one of noir-type, American fiction and one of horror stories. For those other books, which include Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, The Running Man and Thinner, he used the name Richard Bachman.
Over the years, after he was outed as Bachman, King has played this game with his constant readers that Richard Bachman was real and existed (I’ve often though King’s novel The Dark Half is his idea of what might happen if Bachman actually lived). I've found this bizarre, but that adds to his quirky nature, I guess. Still, to this day, I've never read any of those Bachman books.
Until now, I guess.
Now, long after Bachman “died,” King resurrects him with Blaze (though I wonder where The Regulators falls here; it being an alternate universe version of King’s Desperation?). While King, in his forward to the book, explains how Blaze came into existence (and that it was part of his psyche of Bachman) he is honest in his opinion of something he wrote 30 plus years ago. Still, the novel reads much like classic King.
While the homage to Of Mice and Men is obvious, it none the less becomes a book you can’t help but enjoy. And while the conclusion is obvious also, you also can’t but root for Blaze, the same way one could not root for Lennie in that classic John Steinbeck novel.
While there is no supernatural stuff seen here, it does feature many classic King-isms, including some nasty-ass characters like the distant father and dead mother. A huge cast of characters, despite it really being a character study between Blaze and dead friend George.

CW announces early pickups for fall
The CW announced several early pick-ups for the fall TV season. Faced with a 25% drop in viewers overall, the network has decided to keep some of its staples, by renewing struggling Supernatural for a fourth season. Also due back is reality/game show America’s Next Top Model and the comedy Everybody Hates Chris along with freshman drama Gossip Girl. Meanwhile two other picks seemed a bit of surprise, as Smallville will return for season eight, while ratings starved One Tree Hill will return for a fifth year.
Expect a major cast shake-up at Smallville, by-the-way. Both Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk have already announced they're leaving and the show is expected to be retooled, but not drastically.
One show left off the early renewal list was critical darling Reaper. One guess that the handful of new episodes to begin airing in April will decide its fate. This show is funny and a bit off, but deserves a chance to prove how good it can be.
And while the fate of Aliens in America is in the same box as Reaper, its seems almost assured for the cancellation bin. Despite the early pick-up of Everybody, the CW has shuttered its comedy department and has decided to focus on serial dramas and reality/game shows.

New Line Cinema -the House that Lord of the Rings saved - to be folded into the Time Warner family
New Line Cinema, the semi independent arm of Warner Bros., will be officially assimilated into the Time Warner family, becoming the genre arm of Warners, which will focus on horror, urban features and comedies.
This move was really designed to save money, and it’s expected that 600 people in both LA and NY branches will lose their jobs. Also out will be the studio's creator Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne.
New Line has had a good track record as an independent, handling the franchises of Austin Powers, Rush Hour, Blade, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Final Destination, Friday the 13th, and, of course, The Lord of the Rings which made them more money than anyone of the above mentioned franchise.
New Line will also stop its longstanding practice of selling off international rights to finance films - a move that came significantly after The Golden Compass underperformed domestically but grossed big overseas. The project's failure was the last in a long line of problems that have plagued the company since the success of the Rings trilogy. The move is not expected to affect the production of both The Hobbit films, which they’re targeting for Christmas 2011 and 2012 release.

Random Sunday
Sunday was the better day of the two weekends, but still a bit cool. We did get into the upper 60's with a light wind.
Anyways, had to got to Pasadena to film one pick-up shot for Helena Chronicles 1.02. I suppose I could've not gone, after all the director was there. But as usual, my sense of finishing my job over took the logic that it could've been handled without me. The AD job, at times, can be a little useless. Usually, you're ordering lunch and trying to keep the schedule moving.
Whene I got back, around noon, I did the dishes and decided to go bike riding. The sun was out and despite the coolness, I could not complain. Yesterday was such a bummer, so there.
Next Sunday, besides being the start of Daylight Savings, is also one of the longest shoots of year, as episode 4 of Odyssey's first season begins. As noted, I'm not doing anything with this episode, which fills me with some happiness, yet the feeling of not "being" there and missing things. I sense I will go there, but spend only a few hours there. I'll play that by ear, as the saying goes.
Speaking of Daylight Savings, I still feel odd starting it 3 weeks earlier than usual. Don't get me wrong, like most other people, I enjoy the extra hour of light, but dred the loss of that sleep. And I think the only people who really hate it, are the ones who need to be up super early. Hell, when I leave at 5:30 and see traffic, I'm amazed at how many people are up earlier than me.
People who get up at 7 or 8 to be at work at 9 really should not complain. But they do.
And for Midnight Roamer, Daylight Savings must be a pain in the ass.

Boring Saturday
After 3 weekend of working on ODY/HC and other things, I've have a weekend to myself. And I'll be damned if I'm not bored out of my mind. Granted, today was crappy weather day, which is just ironic, but I'll let that pass.
Still, got a bit time reading over at Starbucks and got caught up on all four episodes of Torchwood I'ved DVR'd. So yea.
It's funny, really. Kind of missed not working over at Rob's, even though I bitched about working too much there. On Wednesday, The Lotus Eaters, the third episode of Odyssey was released in the chat room. This is the first episode I've directed for this show, and while I'm satisfied with it, I'm not completley happy with it.
The writing was fine, and Rob's editing really saved it, but I felt something was a bit wonky with it, as it featured way too much exposition and not enough clear explanation as to the main plot. The good thing that came out of this was seeing Brandon and Michelle work together. They have great chemistry and it comes across when they're on the screen together.
And Brandon, completing his second episode as Ro, seems to be settling in very nicley. He seems more confident and relaxed. So, with the exception of an actor, the acting of the others -including the secondary cast members -were better.
The Lotus Eaters should be out for general release sometime next week. In the meantime, production on 1.04 begins in a week. I'm not working on the episode too much, and will be the first time in 2 years I've not worked on an episode, but that was my choice.
Now, BTW, I've got a headache.
