For the record, my first reaction to
Identity
was, "Does
every
movie have to have a Ginormous Plot Twist nowadays?" In the end, though, I think I like it. It's a fun movie and people die and it's creepy.
That being said,
Lost
should not be like that.
Then again, it would allow the next thread title to be
OMGWTFMPD
.
Almost worth it for that alone, P-C. And thanks Hec.
Multiple Polarbear Disorder?
OMGWTF has become my new favorite acronym. It comes in handy in
so
many different situations, much like HSQ.
OMGWTF has become my new favorite acronym.
I find it hard to believe it hadn't become popular till now. I mean, OMG and WTF individually were teh awesome, but together they wield even more acronymical power. Who's tracing the etymology of netspeak? Why has no one come up with this until now? Or where has it been hiding?
The new recap is up at TWoP. In general, I don't think the
Lost
recaps have been very funny, but there was one bit in this one that cracked me up good. Also, this line gave me pause:
Back at his late-night fire, Jack's crying again. Behind him, a branch snaps and we hear ice cubes rattling. Huh: obviously this isn't just a hallucination -- there's something corporeal out there. These scenes sure make me hope the writers are awfully creative to come up with an explanation for all this stuff that doesn't seem like grade-A baloney.
See, I had pretty much the opposite reaction. I figured that the sound of ice cubes was supposed to be a tipoff that Jack was hallucinating. I mean, even if his father did come back to life, where in hell would he get ice cubes on the island?
Maybe it was in the bottles of Coca-Cola that the polar bears are drinking?
no kidding. That's kind of bullshit. People hear voices all the time. Aural hallucinations aren't often from lack of sleep though if I remember correctly.
BTW...what if Jack's dad is the monster. A shape-shifting monster.
