I decided I wanted an alt for my occasional movie and/or TV related blather!

remember when Lost was a big hit and all the networks tried to come up with their own "group of people in a survival situation trying to figure out some mysterious shit" shows?

there was one where the central premise of the entire show was "somehow, electricity stopped working"

like, not, "there was a mysterious cataclysmic global electromagnetic pulse that knocked out computer systems and communication" but "electricity stopped working"

 Lost fan edit that cuts out all of the endlessly tedious Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle

I should rewatch Lost, except maybe most or all of the last season

I know I did a partial rewatch at one point but I think it was too soon after the finale, and I was low-key irked knowing that they were just throwing shit at the wall the whole time with no real explanation for anything

They got away with it for most of the show's run though, and now maybe it's been long enough that it would be a fun ride despite the nothingburger ending

Hidden steel door embedded in a rocky cliff face

you can't tell me this show wasn't a direct influence on Lost

so uh
we rescued a set of 4K movie film scanners

does anyone need a set of 4K movie film scanners

if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at hello@alyx.sh

*Definitely a movie that has kind of been tainted by its superfans; I love this movie but I don't think anyone should make it their whole identity or literal religion
My LB rating still stands at five stars, which I feel a little sheepish about* but this is another one of those "I lived in Los Angeles when this came out and L.A. in 1998 wasn't so different than the 1991 L.A. depicted in the film and watching it always feels a little bit like going home" movies that I'm always going like a little bit extra
I like that we get a Number Two who is sweating bullets because of pressure from above

I wonder if anyone's made a Letterboxd list of "movies bookended by perfectly selected songs"

The Big Lebowski should be in the top 10

The foreshadowing when Donny misses that strike 🥺
