Lost - Oceanic Flight 815, the original and the alternate time line, side by side. Loved the start of the new season. Although alternate universes have been hinted at - like with Desmond - this is the first full-fledged one we've been presented with. I'm not sure they should have introduced another mystery to the Lost story, but hope springs eternal - or at least seasonally - that they know where they're going.

I know we here love us some Jackie Chan, but the trailer for the new Karate Kid remake makes me all kinds of dyspeptic. First of all, I don't think the original needs a remake. It holds up really well. Secondly, remaking movies that I saw in the theater makes me feel all kinds of old. Thirdly, Will Smith Jr. seems like he has some of his dad's charisma - never seen him in anything - but also looks about three years too young. Can the sexual tension/love triangle that sets the plot in motion be anything but creepy?

And finally, Jackie. Maybe this will work. He looks admirably run down in the trailer. I assume the movie gives him some Miyagi-esque back story to explain why he would take in the foreign kid. Jackie could use a good role for an older martial artist, but I suspect this will be too cute, too filled with winking at the audience. I fear half-hearted bullying and heart-and-a-half mugging for the camera. End cranky old man rant. (Link via Ghost in the Machine)

Music: Newswire:KRS-One writes 600 page hip-hop Bible; blueprint for rap religion:

Hip-hop legend KRS-One has never been afraid to court controversy and provoke strong reactions. Now the Boogie Down Productions legend has topped himself by writing The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument, a mammoth treatise on the spirituality of hip-hop he hopes will some day become a sacred text of a new hip-hop religion.
Laugh if you must, but people laughed at Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard when they set up their own religions. They're still laughing, and pointing, and giggle-snorting so hard milk comes out their noses.

Not that the world needs another religion. Still, it's KRS-One. Takin' titles and breakin' idols.

"I don't understand what the guy in front is doing. Is he being attacked by bees?"
"You gotta stay for 1:28 when the sensitive pretty-boy vocals come in. It achieves a surreal level of shittiness at that point. "
"Fred Dursts singing style has been hugely influential in today's metalcore scene. That's why music is doomed"
"i'm thinking your inability to find stamps and your refusal to go to the post office *may* be related." [There a USPS thread in the comments]

Blakk Rasta's Obama "Theme Song" In Ghana: Let's play predict the response of the ODS afflicted. Goes a little something like this, "Oh noes, teh Africans have infiltrated our Preznidensey and are singing about taking over America. This proves BHO is not a citizen. Birth cert in Ghana? Also must be a fake Christian since Rasta Muslims only sings about teh other Rasta Muslims. Good thing Palin bravely elevated self from AK governorship, was holding her back from investigating who Anti-C. is pallin' around with now."

While I'm linking to racy videos for the first and probably last time, here's the video NBC refused to air for PETA. I doubt PETA actually had the money to put it on the air during the Superbowl. They probably got it banned on purpose for the much cheaper web views.

Of course, PETA has a long, weird and often ugly history of using sex to get attention.

Finally, lingerie models rubbing pumpkins makes both the women and the vegetables kind of unappealing. (And I say this as a strict vegetarian.)

Um ... you probably don't need to see this, but here's a trailer for the porn parody of The Office. Not sure if there's an actual movie behind this or not. Also, don't want to know. I don't think The Office lends itself to this sort of thing as easily as Friends or The XXX Files.

Turner Classic Movies will air a 24 hour Paul Newman marathon starting Sunday (Oct. 12th) at 5 a.m. (schedule here). Newman has always been one of my favorites, and he makes a roasted garlic salsa that I can pretty much eat with a spoon. The marathon is a pretty nice list, obviously they couldn't get the rights to everything. No Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, no The Hustler, two of my (and everybody's) favorite Newman movies.

On this list, I'd put a plug in for Hud, which is probably one of Newman's "classic" movies that few have actually seen. Torn Curtain is a bit slow for Hitchcock and for Newman, but it's worth seeing. And if you haven't seen Cool Hand Luke, really, isn't this the time?

Enormously cool and enormously generous, willing to be goofy on Letterman, Newman has inspired a bunch of tributes. If you've seen the classic movies, I'd put a plug in for a trio of modern movies that show Newman lost none of his aura and charm in old age. The Hudsucker Proxy is always regarded as a lesser Coen brothers movie, but I loved it. Tim Robbins really should do more comedy. Newman is great as the evil robber baron. In Where the Money Is, Newman embraces his age, playing an old con man lured back in for one more big hit by a younger generation. It's a low budget sort of crime movie and worth seeing. And Nobody's Fool is probably mentioned too often to be considered overlooked, but if you can bear to look at Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith in a drama, this is worth seeing. It's about a guy getting ground down by life, who may not know what kind of legacy he is leaving his town and his friends. Unlike Newman, who left a hell of a legacy behind him.
