JJ Abrams Wants in on Superman Movie
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Interviews, Movies, DC Comics
Hey Warner Bros.—ever consider hiring JJ Abrams? You ought to know that he’s still asking for that Superman gig!
The Star Trek director and Lost co-creator had written a script for the caped crusader way back before his career took off. Despite his vast success with his Star Trek reboot, Abrams is still longing for a shot at revitalizing the Superman franchise. He recently opened up about his relationship with the superhero:
“Writing that script was a long process. It was a very passionate character for me. As a kid growing up it meant a lot to me. It would be wonderful and fun to see that brought back. I don’t know what Warners is thinking or what their plan is. It would be a blast… No one has talked to me about it. Obviously I’m sure Warner Brothers has a plan for what they want to do.”
Did you hear that, higher-ups?
Not only are Abrams fans supporting this collaboration, but apparently so is fellow filmmaker, Kevin Smith—check out the video after the jump.

Chew #4 Gets Weirder
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Reviews, Image Comics
UPDATE: You can now find the correct translation on Guillory’s blog.
Following up an issue where our protagonist finds love in the midst of ubiquitous regurgitation (among other delightful surprises) would be difficult. That is, of course, unless you’re John Layman and Rob Guillory.
Chew #4 begins with an expected and humorous Applebee-loathing-Chu scene; yet, the rest of the issue takes a path dissimilar from what we’ve seen in this series so far, quelling any doubts (if there were any) that Layman and Guillory can’t keep us interested. In a very Lost fashion, the last issue gave us Amelia, E.G.G., and the creepy guy with a box, only to leave us to our theories as this issue produces a number of different, unrelated (or not?) questions.
This issue, despite my not thinking it possible, gets so much stranger and weirder, making for a very scrumptious read.

LOST Review 4/8/09
Posted by David Torres Categories: Reviews, Television
“Dead is dead.” says Ben Linus in this week’s episode of “LOST”. It also happens to be the name of this week’s episode of “LOST”. As mentioned in last week’s review, this week’s episode focuses on Benjamin Linus and his desire to seek out the smoke monster in order to be judged. This episode is also full of flashbacks on Ben’s life from his youth and the moment after his healing from the gunshot wound to the “business” he had to take care of before he got on Flight 316 to head back to the island.
The “dead is dead” line is a reference to John Locke. At the end of last week’s episode, Ben was surprised to see that John was alive. The island has brought him back to life and although Ben knew this would happen to John, it’s still an unusual thing to see because this shouldn’t really happen to anyone on the island. However, the island it seems has chosen John for a special purpose and needs him alive. With that being said, Ben is here more importantly to be judged by the smoke monster for breaking the rules and returning to the island. What is Ben’s verdict? Lets us see.
Spoilers….............................................................

Who is telling the truth? Who is right? Who do you trust? Is it Benjamin Linus or is it Charles Widmore? That’s that question I came away with from this week’s episode. Both men have an obsession with the island and both believe that what they are doing is what’s right.
This week’s episode is entitled “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham” and focuses on Mr. Jeremy Bentham aka John Locke. We know that Locke has left the island in order to bring Jack and the remaining Oceanic survivors back to the island. We also know at some point when John is off the island, he dies. This episode shows from beginning to end his trip and how he ended up dead.

So have I told you before that “LOST” is freakin’ awesome?! I know I did, but I just want to say it again “LOST” is freakin’ AWESOME!!!!!
Wednesday night’s episode was entitled “This place is death”. When we last left the show, everyone was jumping around through time and we were shown that our old friend Jin had survived the explosion of the boat. To his surprise as he makes it back to the island and that he has been rescued by some French people and a young pregnant woman who is with them is named Danielle Rousseau.
Tonight’s episode picks up right where we left off. Spoilers…................

Answers are given, as more questions arise in just another episode of “LOST”. Last night’s episode is entitled, “The Little Prince”. When I read that this would be the name of tonight’s episode, I thought of the classic French children’s book “The Little Prince”. Whether tonight’s episode is somehow related to that story, I’m not sure as I’ve never read it. If there is a “little prince” in this episode it’s Aaron as he is one of the focal points of tonight’s episode.
In this episode, we again have the goings on of the LOST characters who have left the island and those who are still on it. On the island we have Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, Daniel, Charlotte, and Miles jumping through time; off the island we have Ben and Jack trying to get everyone back to the island.
If you don’t want to be spoiled - walk away now….........

LOST Review 1/28/09
Posted by David Torres Categories: Reviews, Television
“LOST” continued its fifth season last night with an episode entitled “Jughead”. The episode focused mainly on the characters that are still on the island – with the exception of Desmond as he’s in this episode too.
What more praise can I give to this show that already hasn’t been given by me or anyone else. This show continues to hit the big home run; score the big touchdown and make the game wining shot. I’m so envious of the creators and writers of this show because I believe they truly have created something special. Many shows that enter their fifth season start to begin to show cracks in the armor, but thankfully (at least in my opinion) “LOST” has yet to show any cracks.
Of course, if you haven’t seen the episode, do not go any further due to spoilers.

Television Review: LOST 1/21/09
Posted by David Torres Categories: Reviews, Television
Yesterday’s episode of “LOST"was the premiere to the fifth season. It was entitled “Because You Left”. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I was anxiously awaiting for the episode to air. I read my son his story and laid down next to him until he fell asleep. He was asleep by 8:56 pm - just in time. Thank you, God. Was it worth the wait? Was I disappointed? Absolutely not!
This episode really got into the whole time travel plotline that has been slowly revealing itself over the past season. If you still haven’t seen the episode, go away right now. I’m not going to reveal everything, but I will discuss some of the things that did happen in the episode.

LOST returns tonight!
Posted by David Torres Categories: Editorials, Television
After eight long months, “LOST” returns tonight on ABC at 8:00 pm. The first hour is a clip show recapping everything that’s happened so far and then at 9:00 we have the two hour premiere. “LOST” is my favorite show on television right now. I watch a lot of TV, but other than “LOST,” I don’t watch any shows on a regular basis. I’ll catch an episode of “House” here and there; “Law and Order;” “South Park;” “Family Guy,” but “LOST” is the only show where I’m on my couch in front of the TV for the entire duration of the program when it first airs.
I’m recording it tonight because with two kids at home now, not sure if I’ll be able to start watching it immediately when it comes on. My oldest son James is afraid of the dark. I try to read to him every night and then I have to sleep on the trundle bed next to him until he falls asleep. My wife is dealing with our new born son and some times he doesn’t fall asleep until after nine. What ya goin’ do right?
Anyway, when we last left “LOST,” Jack had met up with Ben at the funeral home. Ben told Jack that they needed to go back to the island and bring all of the other Oceanic passengers who made it off the island back with them - including Jeremy Bentham. In the final scene of last season’s finale, we find out that the person in the coffin at the funeral home is the mysterious Jeremy Bentham who is actually John Locke. Why was John going by the name Jeremy Bentham? I’m assuming it has to do with the fact that John made it off the island and since the rest of the world believes he and all of the other Oceanic passengers on the island are dead, he needs to continue to keep that secret.
If you’re at work right now and want to goof off - like I’m doing, ABC has posted three clips which are two minutes each of tonight’s episode. Also, here are some sites that I go on to try and refresh my memory, read up on theories, and get spoiled if I’m feeling weak and I can’t wait until the show starts.
