Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I know I’m probably setting myself up for disappointment. Because though the provenance of this film — from the same people who brought us Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Yes Man and Superbad — does not inspire confidence in me, there’s something about this trailer that makes me … more…
Yes, it’s one more Lost post, one more instance of me talking more about a show I said I was done talking about. Hey: it’s my site. I was intrigued this morning to come across a post at the L.A. Times blog Show Tracker about those final shots of the Lost finale. You know, the … more…
