ABC and the producers of Lost have announced a Lost Book Club. Through this book club, fans of books and of Lost can enjoy, discover and dissect all of the books that the Lost characters read. These are the same books, of course, that the writers find themselves inspired by. By taking part in the book club, you should be able to get inside of the Lost writers and producers just a little bit. Visit the Book Club site here for more information and to sign up. You probably won’t unravel the secrets of the Lost universe. Here is the specifics straight from the duo of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse:
Remember Octagon Global Recruiting? They are going to be at Comic-Con in San Diego. They will be launching a new online game in the spirit of Find815. The cool thing will be that, while the Lost panel is sold out, the OGR booth will not require a ticket or any special admission. You will be able to interact and play in the larger Lost universe for free. Here are the details: 1) At the OGR recruitment booth there will be actors who will playing members of OGR recruiters. Sounds like a good ol’ time.
ABC’s Lost is coming in for the top 10 finalists for the Best Drama Emmy. This, after winning some Saturn Awards. Lost does have some stiff competition however. The selection committee will make their final decisions soon and then let the rest of the world know. The Emmy’s are set to air on September 21st. Check out some others (not The Others) on the short list. Making the finalists will not promise an award, but it is still a great nod from industry insiders as to the quality of the production, writing, and acting of Lost. Way to go guys!
With potential viewership down, recovering from a strike, and preparing for the next strike, it is good to see that Lost is still getting critical acclaim, and the respect from its industry peers. Here is the winner breakdown:
The four awards that Lost took home was the most for any single television series. I know the show is good, and you know it is good. It is nice to see that some other people agree.
Yeah, yeah that’s nice. There are lots of revolutionary tv services, but what make Veoh better than the others is that you can catch up on all of your old episodes of Lost - for free. Yes, you read correctly, I said Lost for free. If you are looking for a favorite episode, trying to catch up on something, or simply looking for something to watch during this dry summer tv season, then head over to veoh.com. You can get all of the episodes for free, even the enhanced “pop-up video” versions. If you are looking for season 4, go here. The other seasons can be found here. Have fun - For FREE!
That’s right, the next television season could be interrupted because of a strike. No, this isn’t a joke, and it isn’t some kind of Lost time travel loop, and it isn’t one of Desmond’s flashes. Here is the bottom line: the Screen Actors Guild and producers group (AMPTP) are in negotiations for a new contract, and the negotiations are not going well. There is a deadline of June 30th to work this out or the SAG can authorize a strike. Yes - that was not a typo - a strike. It seems like Hollywood didn’t learn anything form the 2.1 billion dollars they lost during the writer’s strike.
This isn’t quite a Lost post, but since Lost isn’t on, you need something to distract you. Today, I stumbled onto the most wonderful blog I have ever seen. I am into photography, especially photography that captures a moment or tells a story. If you are into photos as well, then run to The Big Picture Blog. There are some amazing photo stories to be found there. For starters, I recommend the photos of Mars. There is an image of the Earth and Moon from Mars - it is both inspiring and amazing. If you need a distraction from the lack of Lost, but you want it to have the same emotional and mental punch that Lost has, then head over to The Big Picture right away.
You remember those Lost moments that made you question everything? There are quite a few of them - probably too many to count. That didn’t stop a blogger over at Apropos of Something from trying. They came up with the 30, in their opinion, most shocking WTF moments in Lost history. Here are a few off of the list. #23: Richard Alpert doesn’t age #15: Locke’s dad shows up on the Island #9: Locke was in a wheelchair before he came to the Island Not only does the site feature a list, but also screenshots and descriptions of each moment. They also include why each moment matters. Head over to Apropos of Something and check it out? Let me know what you think about their list. Is there anything missing?
Did you get your Octagon Global Email? I covered the Octagon Global commercial a few weeks ago, but if you missed it, here it is:
As I suspected, the commercial was an advertisement pointing people towards Comic-Con 2008. I had an idea that there was going to be some Lost goodies this year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be at Comic-Con, but I will cover the Lost news as it comes creeping out. If you didn’t sign up, it is not too late: Visit Global Recruiting. If you haven’t received and email, here it is after the break (I don’t want to spoil it):
Are you busy in July? Specifically, July 24-27 are looking like good days to be in San Diego. Those are the dates of the annual Comic-Con. If you are unfamiliar with Comic-Con, it is the one of the best comic, sci-fi, and fantasy conventions in this universe. I checked the website, and there are still some day passess available. If you have an opportunity to go, I would love to hear your insights and observations. What does this have to do with Lost do you ask? Well, last year, there was quite a bit of Lost coverage, a Lost discussion panel, and this little gem:
Who knows what Lost tidbits we will get this year? I have a feeling there will be something good. |
