Can I Get A Napkin Please?

I was just browsing the Publisher's Weekly daily newsletter when I came across a bit about a new book out called "Causing A Scene: Extraordinary Pranks in Ordinary Places", which prompted me to check out the Improv Everywhere blog. Basically this group organizes large scale improvised pranks in public places with some pretty hilarious results. Haven't had a chance to check out all the pranks which they detail on the blog, but my favorite so far is Food Court Musical.

My new girl crush.

Just watched Yes Man over the weekend. Thought it was cute and funny, mostly I was just reminded how much I love Zooey Deschanel. Although this was actually a toned down role for her, I can't help but think she really brings something to every project she's in, I mean she even managed to give Failure to Launch a few funny moments. My favorite role is still her stint on Weeds Season 2, if you haven't seen her on this or watched this fantastic show for that matter, I highly recommend checking it out.

LOST Finale

Man oh man. So much happened I don't even know where to begin all I know is the last time a LOST episode ended in a blinding white flash, effectively destroying the Swan station, no one was really affected with the exception of Desmond who could suddenly see the future, somehow I think this outcome might be a little different. My favorite moment of the of the Swan destruction scene was when Miles so wittingly pointed out, that by detonating the bomb they may actually be causing the very reaction they were trying to stop, which leads me to the suspicion and hope that no one, except maybe Juliet actually died. 

As for the Jacob storyline,when I first saw Jacob and the Man in Black sitting on the beach I was reminded instantly of the first season when Locke was teaching Walt to play backgammon and also of the two skeletons and the pouch containing a black rock and a white rock, which the castaways discovered near their first camp. Is this really so simple as black and white? Good versus evil? It is an age old story, but somehow I imagined the mechanics of LOST to be less simple than that. And I think the more important question is, if we are dealing with good and evil, which one is which? Jacob of course seems the obvious good guy, but is he in fact really the charismatic devil? I also couldn't help but think of the Smoke Monster when it was revealed that Locke resurrected was actually the Man in Black, is the MIB actually the physical manifestation of the Smoke Monster? I think it's possible that at the very least the two are connected.

Overall, we are still left with more questions than answers, is everyone really dead? What's the real story behind Jacob and the Man in Black? Is Ben as humbled and broken as he seems or is this all still part of his master plan? Who is Ilana and what exactly is a candidate? As usual Doc Jensen sums it all up quite nicely, but we shall have to wait until 2010 to get our final answers.
