Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesThe wife points out that it takes roughly 2 weeks to brainwash someone.
What’s up with the speaker in Jack’s cell? "It hasn’t worked in years." Screwing with his mind? Or was something trying to communicate to Jack unbeknownst to The Others?
I don’t think Zeke "came out of the closet" but merely told Kate that he wasn’t interested in her.
SCORE! The speaker says, "Let it go Jack." in his father’s voice.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesIt’s bugging me that I don’t have time to write a review so I’ll spit tidbits here and there.
The escapee that released Sawyer was the plumber at the beginning of the show.The plumber was Ethan.- I believe some of you (and others) are giving The Others too much credit with regard to Jack’s dossier. Nothing terribly revealing in the info. They have been spying on our people and Kate was obviously tortured so she probably spilled info.
- Here is a Lost glossary – needs more work
- They never intended Sawyer to be fed polar bear food. Just a left over gizmo from a previous tenant.
See also and also and also. Just incase you don’t know or have forgotten, ABC has the show online for free along with Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Six Degrees, The Nine, andThe Knights of Prosperity.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesMichael found a link to the amazing similarities between LOST and Gilligan’s Island! This is a MUST READ for any Lost fan.
4 – number of sleeping huts on the island
8 – animals not native to the island
15 – things that wash up on shore
16 – number of times Gilligan foils rescue attempts
23 – number things Gilligan drops on the Skippers head
42 – number of people who visit the island

Don’t overlook the new Lost theme song "Hurley’s Island"!
Update: I originally credited Barry. It has become my habit to immediately read Big Orange Michael after reading Inn of the Last Home or vice versa. So, I periodically think Barry and type Michael or think Michael and type Barry. Thanks to Barry for pointing it out.

2commentsARrrr! Thar Be A Good Pirates Movie Matey! July 22, 2006 10:27 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Of Interest, Reviews, TV / MoviesSaw Pirates 2 last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Despite the 2 movie sized medium cokes I drank begging me to leave at the roll of the credits, I entertained the training X-Men and Cars have put into my children’s heads. Pirates has the most astoundingly long credits I have ever seen! There must have been 3000 names! At one point it was 4, 5 or 6 columns of solid names on the screen. Looked like a joke.
Even people that stayed through half the credits started giving up. But I was pleased we stayed, for indeed, Noah was correct. He said, "Cars was made by Disney and this is made by Disney, so there’s something at the end."

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesThe island was acquired in 1956 by a consortium of American business men and subsequently used as a base for research into eugenics and life extension.
The ultimate aim of this endeavour was to develop technology which could potentially bring about world peace.
The plane crash never really occured and the survivors’ memories are false. The survivors of flight 815, along with the other inhabitants of the island, are the only surviving members of the human race and the so-called ‘monster’ is really a drug-induced hallucination.
The Others are a group of brainwashed cult members.
The ‘incident’ mentioned in the orientation film refers to the accidental release of the genetically modified virus which has caused the mysterious sickness and pressing the hatch button every 108 minutes prevents the outbreak of ‘the sickness’ on the island.
Claire’s father is on the island, working for the Hanso Foundation.
The numbers represent a physical constant which is central to the physics of time travel.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Of Interest, TV / MoviesThe Mentos Guys have drawn so much attention to themselves with their reproduction of the dancing fountain at Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas that Letterman is having them on the show!
Fritz Grobe, 37, and Stephen Voltz, 48, were scheduled to appear on David Letterman’s show Thursday night and on the Today show Friday morning to demonstrate their explosive and entertaining chemistry experiments featuring candy and soda.
We love stuff like this at our house!
