ABC Planning LOST In-Cinema Event 3 Days Before Finale??
I am – Hercules
ABC/Disney appears to be organizing a live in-cinema event aimed at hard-core “Lost” fans.
Michigan’s Celebration Cinemas chain has this on its website:
Description: Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, the creators of LOST, will have an in-depth live discussion about the show's creation, its six years on the air, and its finale on May 23, 2010. The TimesTalks Participants include Award winning Carlton Cuse, who currently executive produces LOST, along with Damon Lindelof, the co-creator and executive producer for the LOST series. The discussion will be interspersed with video clips from past shows as well as a one-minute sneak peak from the finale. The discussion will be followed by a 30-40 minute Q&A with questions taken from the live crowd at the NYT Center, pre-submitted fan questions and questions texted from guests on event night. Guests will be offered the opportunity to text in a question.
Looks like this is happening May 20, three days before the finale airs. I assume it won’t be limited to Michigan cinemas.
In other "Lost" news, the two-hour finale now has a title: "The End."

That sucks, I'm not having it spoiled for me, not going to take any chances.

I read it as they were showing the Finale in full 3 days early in Cinemas. Doh!
-
Really?
-
With The End. Ha Ha Ha
Ok, I'm sorry that was horrible. I'm bored at work. -

now showing the finale in theaters 3 days early would be an interesting move.
-
Haters can suck it because "The End" really would be a good fit for the last episode.

The other one was loading too slow on my phone.

Just checked the Times Talk website - its the only event listed that's sold out.

Chicks dig!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"A two-hour Vincent flashback."
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a discussion after the event? They could explain a lot more that way...
-
Pshh.
-
I'd rather see "Found"
-
Sweet.
-
How does everyone else get to see this?
-
Another opportunity for Darlton to make fun of the questions, tease the audience, and give vague, cryptic answers that don't really tell you anything. I don't blame them for not spoiling the secrets, but this is almost certainly just a marketing exercise and won't be worth the effort of attending.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLTTTT
-
writing for a TV show ever? Seriously, the way stuff plays out and the intricacies of the plot is very impressive.
-
I would say LOST is best network TV
-
when LOST ends?
I agree, best network TV.
Every time my mom catches an episode she seriously questions the kind and quantity of drugs the writers use. -
With regard to "the way stuff plays out and the intricacies of the plot," nothing has ever come close to Babylon 5 (storywise, not dialog). At no point do you question if they're winging it.
As for overall writing, I might give it to The Wire. The Sopranos went downhill fast after the second season. Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome easily trump it IMO. I love Lost and it's production values, but the characters are far too unrealistic for me to think of it as the best writing. -
The problem with going with the title "Found" is that they already have an episode called "...and Found".
-
"What Kind of Day Has It Been?"
-
of course i wouldn't put it past them to only include it on the bonus disc thats only available in the complete series collection. oh and i wouldnt be surprised if its a edited version thats much shorter as well.
-
holy shit the season 3 premiere broke my brain. reminded me of the best episodes of lost.

It's a Good Life

"So Long Brutha"

And he is playing with the Trek crews.

the title of the finale with out even giving a warning beforehand herc you fucking asshole.

I still think the whole show is about someone with multiple personality disorder, stuck in a mental institution.

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

In the world of TV/Movies/Media I've come to know this word as: It'll come back in one form or another, or another incarnation, etc. Nice to know that this Series does know when to End. A little thought, that no doubt it'll reincarnate into so many spin-off's in the Lost World. Is it the End? Or is it the Beginning of more Spin-off's? Only the Powers that be know that.

in the finale just for shits and giggles
truly.. The End
meh. it avoids pages of interpreting and they didn't put a question mark on it like "The End ?" though that would have been amusing just to see the response. -
probably not as enticing a cologne name as Tiberius
-
...wait until you get a load of the wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and rending of clothes from the "Lost" fans when this inevitable disappointment of a finale lands square in their shiny, happy, upturned faces like a viscous dollop of bird shit.
-
But they all have to be barefoot too.
-
...will be Jack and Sayid on the island, taking Jacob ann MIB's places.

u gonna LEAVE this talkback when people start calling u out. just wondering honey....(((((JAKA)))))...

Will there be an official "tell all" book?
by richard_christys_unwashed_taint
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
no, seriously. Are there any plans? -
...it would have a happy but bittersweet ending. I don't see the destruction of the world as fitting the bill.
-
Nestor Carbonell does not win an Emmy for his performance this past week, I will never have faith in the system again.
-
Remember these dudes are fans of The Stand. It will probably end up with Sawyer as MIB and Jack as Jacob. Sawyer will say how much he wants to kill Jack. Jack will say "I'll be right here."
ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz..... -
if that's even possible. There are still 7+2 hours left. Lots can happen in that time, for better or worse.
-
is clearly young Jacob. The blood on his hands was prob'ly when he cradled his dying mother, someone else killed her. Prob'ly MIB's crazy mother. Or it could be that they are siblings. Their mother went insane, killed their father and committed double suicide. The brothers went home to find their dead parents, with two stones at their side, one black the other white. They carried the bodies into a cave, along with the two different colored stones...
-
maybe because many of the revelations have been speculated correctly by fans. It took the writers too long and too late in the game to reveal Richard's past to viewers. It should have been done on season 5 ago. I have no doubt some of us will make correct speculations on the final mystery of Lost, a few episodes towards THE END.

.. and you've all been screwed for the last 6 years

remember back a few seasons ago when they showed walt all wet and talking backwards? maybe he was wet because he was on the island underwater after it had been sunk - protecting it. maybe walt will replace Jacob and Aaron (the son now with a crazy mother - just like MIB) will replace MIB.
-
...it was Mr. Boullard, in the Theater, with the Meat Thermometer.http://tinyurl.com/Landry-Boullard

Is your Walt all wet?Just kidding Tattoedjedi, we still might find out about that whole wet Walt business...Lindelof at the Paley Festival had one final word to say about the rest of the final season of Lost. "Water."
-
Lost used be my favourite show, it was really brilliant, but it is so weak these days.
I've come this far so i have to see it through but its been a pain to watch the last two seasons. -
The in-cinema event will also be happening on screens north of the border for all you canucks.
Check it out at cineplex.com/events. -
That's a better name for a cologne than Tiberius.

Wow, how generaous. In other words, they'll show the commercial for the finale. This is hardly a draw. How about showing the first hour of the finale?

Sucks to be people not watching this at the Drafthouse.
-
if the psychic was for real or not? Because he told Claire that Aaron must be raised by her or there will be trouble, and now Aaron was raised by Kate for three years and has a crazy mother who probably shouldn't raise him. Depending on whether or not that was a red herring, that should have huge implications for the finale.
-
On all LOST boards, they hide the episode names, as some people don't want to see them, for they are spoiler-y, and here it is, dick in the wind!
Anyhow, a few weeks ago, Darlton announced they were doing a live Q&A in NYC at NY Times City Stage on that date. It sold out damn quick. The description makes reference to that, so I think this might be a simulcast of that event across the country, based on the demand. -
In one of Eko's flashback he goes to see the pyschic whose daughter had drown and been miraculously brought back to life and the psychic tells Mr. Eko that he's a fake.

The Sopranos COULD'VE been the best ever if they didn't
by coughlins laws
draw it out for 2 and a half seasons after it should've ended. The first 3 seasons could be called the best TV show ever. Parts of 4 and 5 were great, but they had a LOT of filler. Season 6 (or 6a), was just awful and all 12 episodes could've been condensed into 3 or 4. The second half of Season 7 (or 6b), was pretty good with two great episodes. However, the unsatisfying ending (for most people) and the lack of consistent quality the last 3 seasons really hurt The Sopranos status in my book...
-
Seems like the psychic had it right.

As far as Six Feet Under, that really was a great show
by coughlins laws
that didn't stay around long enough to get stale. I really related to the character of Nate and although it wasn't always top notch, I could always find something in the show to root for or against. As far as the Season 3 Opener, I think it was called Prefect Circles,or something like that, it really blew my mind. I really thought that Nate was dead from that point on and he'd become a character like his father...
-
That episode where Tony and Carmella spend the weekend at Bobby and Janice's place in the mountains is among the best of the series and one of the funniest.
-
Hilarious!
-
I hope the buttons turn out to be notes from "All Along the Watchtower".
-
Much better title for sure.
-
Dude, you're such an ignorant fuck. lol You even stole my hugs, like it somehow doesn't make you look like the completely unimaginative dipshit that you are. You're now following me around? WTF, dude? lol You're the absolute lowest form or troll, because you have no clue that that's the case. Seriously, dude, how fucking special are you? I thought about calling you Jay Gump, but that would be an insult to Forrest's brilliance. There is not point in coming back to the Lost talkbacks because you people are so full of your own bullshit that nothing else makes sense to you. I could come back there and insult you, rosasnarks, mcdick and the rest of the broken record crew all damn day. Sure, it would even be fun. Thankfully, I have a life.

Here's another spoiler for you... the next Iron Man movie is called "Iron Man 2."

You can have X-Box parties at theatres in my home town.
by royston lodge
A little off-topic, I'll grant you, but still a cool idea.
-
but decided all TV shows, even the more cinematic ones, are a waste of bulb life. Only movies and video games are projector-worthy.Royston Lodge, have you been to one of those theater X-Box parties? It does sound like a cool idea.
-
It takes the key elements of absurdism and applies them to a narrative formed around a commercial agenda. Each of the key traits attributed to the main characters can be traced back to the absurdist core 'rules' and even major terms used in the show (especially the concept ot 'The Candidate') are also major terms which surface in the absurdist belief structure. It amazes me that more people don't pick up on this.
-
"..you ever find yourself stopping and thinking to yourself.. wow.. I haven't had sex in years!! and then you're thinkin'.. why didn't I remember to do that? Like..Last I remember, it was great. But nope... not a thing for years. Ever have that happen?" and the guy sitting next to him didn't laugh, answer or blink. THAT guy.. THAT guy with either the most developed, wry sense of humor in history or a serious mental illness needs a free ticket to the Lost theater experience. Same guy that told me once he sold high end stereos for a living for a company called Magnolia. Then started asking me how long it'd been since I'd seen ____ (people I do not know). Over and over. Wealth is wasted on the boring.

If episode titles "spoil" an episode for you then kill yourself now or grow some balls.
6.10 - The Package (Sun/Jin)
6.11 - Happily Ever After (Desmond)
6.12 - Everybody Loves Hugo (Hurley)
6.13 - The Last Recruit (multi centric)
6.14 - The Candidate (probably Jack)
6.15 - Across the Sea (Jacob/MIB Centric)
6.16 - What they died for
6.17/18 - The End -
a whole, do you really think that the 21 episodes that made up 6a and 6b measure up to the rest of the series? They were almost all filler episodes. If it was all condensed into one normally compact 13 episode season, it probably would've been great. Make Tony almost dying in hospital could've been 2 episodes instead of 4, the Vito/gay thing could've been going on and handled in half the time. Christopher dying in the one of the last episodes still could've happened. Did we really need to see Paulie's soap opera shit? Or about Tony's father's old girlfriend? It was alot of ridiculousness mixed in with the good...

I work at a theater in central NJ and we are having this also. It is a Fathom event, so any theaters that show the MET operas or have UFC/boxing and other misc satellite events will have it.
