Just watched The Moth. Aw Charlie. Do you think if I explained politely to Dominic Monaghan that I'm in love with him and all his works that he might let me touch him? Yes? What's that? Restraining order, you say? Oh well.

oh, good, i see that someone is doing LOST transcripts. that will come in handy in the future...having actual dialogue to back up arguments debate points = good thing. *g*

also wavies to tiggy

hey there, halfrek! good to see you here.

oh and no need to bold things here. *smooooch*

This week's Entertainment Weekly has a cover story on Lost. Spoilerphobes should avoid the opening paragraph, as it describes a scene being filmed we haven't seen yet, and the last paragraph, which, apparently, is chockfull of spoilers (though they at least warned us before that one.)

Choice quote, from J.J. Abrams:

"I see the top 10 list and I see Lost is there and it looks like something that a friend would mock up just to hurt me."

This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly is a big Lostapalooza. It's got a cover photo of Fox and Lilly and a 3-page article. There are spoilers though: A significant-ish plot-point in the first few paragraphs for an upcoming episode (I'd say about 3.5 - 4 in the HSQ-meter if 10 is "HOLY SHIT! Locke used to be paralyzed!" and 1 is "Kate kind of has a thing for Jack".) Plus, there are a few discreet spoilerish items in the second to last paragraph in the article, marked as such in the first sentence.

A non-spoilery excerpt:

Armed with a first-class $11 million-plus budget for the two-hour pilot, the producers had no intention of flying under the radar. To pull off the fiery opening-scene crash, they bought a Lockheed L-1011 jumbo jet, chopped it into pieces, drove it to Oakland, then sent it via ship to Hawaii (total cost: $1 million-plus). "While we were shooting the pilot, we'd look at each other and be like, 'Best show ever!' chuckles Lindelof. "We'd be launching polar bears into the sky, and there was a plane and we've got people running from the explosion. It was just like, 'We're having way too much fun doing it for anyone to ever want to watch it in a million years.' There was a sense of fatalism."

Aw. Lindelof is so enthusiastic and cute.

ETA: x-posty with P-C! Must be that brain-share thing.

The good thing about getting EW so late is that the spoilers will be non-spoilery for me by the time I get them.

i got mine today, but have been wondering if i should avoid the article for a while. thanks P-C and Vonnie K for the heads up on what parts to avoid. i do try to stay semi-spoiler free. *hee*

For the extremely spoilerphobic, I should let y'all know that the EW article is spoilery for at least the next 3 eps.

Ugh. After digging up my back issue of OUT that had Ian Somerhalder's interview about filming The Rules of Attraction I spent all weekend thinking I'd totally gotten the wrong impression of the actor and that his homophobic reputation had been blown out of proportion over a Colin Farrell-esque statement or two about personal comfort zones.

Then I found this far more insulting Abercrombie & Fitch interview on the actor's own website and ran across lots of reviews of his DVD commentary which was apparently even more insulting and prejudiced.

May his post-Lost career be restricted to doing La Cage Aux Folles community theatre revivals with Kerr Smith. Ptui!

You should incorporate this aspect into your fic, Matt:

"Kiss me, Boone."
"No way, Jack. That's disgusting."
"Aha, but we are on a topsy-turvy island full of polar bears and impeccably groomed women! Here, 'disgusting' means 'stupendously sexy.'"
"But what does 'stupendously sexy' mean, then?"
"It means 'stupendously sexy.' Haven't you ever heard of a synonym?"
