The Other Kids Pack Lunch Lost Brain Dump

I realize I've posted about Lost quite a bit lately. Pair that with my posts on Cloverfield and you'd think that I was in Abrams pocket.

I assure you I am not. If so, I would have at least come out of it with a couple of Benjamins. Hai!

But seriously, I was recently talking to a friend about Lost and was quite shocked at how much I had to say about the series. Last Thursday's episode, "The Constant," was, in my opinion, one of the best of the series. It was tight. It was dramatic. It was emotional. It was worthy of being included with some of Season 1's episodes. Perhaps not as emotional as "Walkabout", but close.

This season has brought some stellar episodes and has answered a number of questions while raising more. Infuriating? Yes. But would you want a series that doesn't keep you guessing?

Lost fans who have stuck with the show these four years love theories. And last night's episode gave us plenty to theorize about. So here it is. My Lost brain dump:

Neil Patrick Harris - Apocalyptic Bad Ass

Picture this: The end of civilization is nigh. Chaos everywhere. Dogs playing poker. Cats smoking dope. Jason Alexander has a series that is renewed for more than two seasons.

That's right folks. It's the end of the world (as we know it).

Now you're probably thinking, "I need provisions. MREs. Bottled water. Dynamite. Porn."

Sweethearts, you're only going to need one thing.

Neil Patrick Harris.

Don't you look at me like that! I know exactly what I'm talking about and to prove that I do, I'm going to give you 10 reasons why Neil Patrick Harris will be the only thing you need in the event of an apocalyptic, cataclysmic event.

• Neil Patrick Harris was so bad ass that he didn't have to wait Clooney age to become a doctor. No. The only thing he needed was puberty. That's all folks. 
• Neil Patrick Harris will kill a whole army of carnivorous dinosaurs for free. Then he'll ask you how your grandmother is doing. 
• When Neil Patrick Harris buys Girl Scout Cookies, he buys them in bulk. This means he's stocked up for the end of the world. And yes, he will share. 
• Neil Patrick Harris can kill Sasquatch. No, actually, he can make Sasquatch kill himself. How? By making Sasquatch feel like a completely inadequate dumbass who doesn't deserve to live. Balk now, but you'll be glad when Neil's intelli-tactic keeps you from being canned Sasquatch food. 
• Using the energy saved by making Sasquatch kill himself, Neil Patrick Harris can build a cabin for long-term winter survival complete with energy efficient solar panels and homemade "green" lightbulbs. Don't believe me? Then just watch and wait, you ass! 
• Neil Patrick Harris never forgets Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and The Green Lantern on his Christmas card list. As such, when he calls, they come running. It's not easy being Superman. He's only a man. Who gets very few Christmas cards. Who do you think you are not sending the world's greatest superhero a card? 
• Neil Patrick Harris can drink Marion Ravenwood under the table. So, if someone has to win more provisions through a drinking game, he's your man. 
• If surviving the apocalypse entails time travel because of a nuclear winter, Neil Patrick Harris is fully prepared to immerse himself in a new time period and you'd do well to stick with him. He will insure that you don't do something stupid like start talking about The Beatles in 1802. 
• Neil Patrick Harris is younger than Chuck Norris. 3 to 1. 
• Neil Patrick Harris is legen - wait for it - dary.

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer is Online!!!

With Valentine's, I had forgot all about this. But it's online.

If it is pulled by Paramount, I'll try to repost ASAP.

Lost - Ben & Sayid - What. The. Fuuuuuuuuudge.

Okay, I knew when I heard his voice that it was him for sure. I suspected the entire show that it had something to do with Ben, but just the same: what a reveal.

Holy crap.

Poor Sayid. Locke told you, baby!

Spielberg Steps Down From 2008 Olympic Committee Post

You know, I have always respected Spielberg. Both as a director and as a human being, but nothing he has done - even his directing my favorite film ever (ehm, Raiders) - has inspired this much respect from me.

As you're probably aware, Steven Spielberg pulled his support of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing after no real effort by the Chinese government to take action over the atrocities in Darfur.

This move by Spielberg is a crucial one and really puts the heat and the focus on the Chinese government and their involvement in Sudan.

Of course, you can't mention this without mentioning Mia Farrow, who has been an outspoken voice and a tour de force in bringing this to the attention of the American public.

I heart Steven and Mia.

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer to Premiere on Entertainment Tonight on 2/14

According to a post on the celebrity gossip blog, OhNoTheyDidnt, we may finally be getting that Indiana Jones trailer we've all been waiting for.

Cinematical says that we can expect the trailer to hit theaters this day as well, but no word on what film the trailer will be attached to.

Admittedly, I've been "dreaming" about what the teaser trailer would look like. I don't want a lot in the teaser. Yeah, it's true. I want it to be more iconic and less showy.

Hopefully, soon, we'll know what Spielberg has in mind for the trailer. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a trailer this Christmas. They're really pushing it if you ask me.
