Josh Holloway to appear in Community Finale Posted by DarkUFO at 2/28/2011 08:55:00 PM View Comments Labels: Josh Holloway, TV Appearance

Sawyer, its about time you showed up on TV again! EW has learned exclusively that Josh Holloway — who played James “Sawyer” Ford on Lost — is expected to make a cameo in Community’s two-part season finale that will air in May.

Holloway’s character emerges as a mysterious figure who shows up on campus during another game of paintball. The two-parter is a sequel, of sorts, to “Modern Warfare” — last year’s memorable episode that began with the Dean announcing a prize for a game of paintball. It devolved into campus-wide battle.

There were some rumors floating around Hollywood that Holloway was a contender for NBC’s remake of The Rockford Files, but the project never emerged from development hell. The actor ultimately signed a deal to co-star in the sequel Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

Ken Leung to Guest on Current TV's "Bar Karma" Posted by DarkUFO at 2/25/2011 03:14:00 PM View Comments Labels: Ken Leung, TV Appearance

Thanks to Cynthia for the heads up.

From a time-traveling island to a time-traveling bar, actor Ken Leung, best known for his role as “Miles” on the hit series “Lost,” guest-stars on episode 7 of Current TV’s “Bar Karma,” the world’s first community-developed television series which will air on Friday, March 25 at 10pm ET/9 Central. In this episode, “The Arrival,” a disoriented robber (Leung) finds himself in Bar Karma. And while most of the universe is dreaming, the jukebox mysteriously allows another unwelcome stranger (Tom Noonan) into the bar, forcing resident bartender James (William Sanderson) to face his deepest fears.

“Bar Karma,” the first series to give viewers control of the show content before it hits air, was created by game creator Will Wright (The Sims/Sim City) and Worldwide Biggies CEO Albie Hecht. Set at a mystical watering hole at the edge of the universe, “Bar Karma” stars William Sanderson (“True Blood,” “Lost,” "Deadwood") as James, the 20,000 year-old bartender, Matthew Humphreys (“Obsessed,” “Big Love,” “The Forgotten”) as bar owner Doug Jones, and Cassie Howarth (“Deranged High,” “Deathclock”) as the lone waitress, Dayna. The series answers the age-old question: “What would happen if you could change your fate?” Set in a time traveling bar owned and operated by members of the mysterious organization Karma, Inc., each weekly episode follows a new bar patron as they enter at happy hour and must make a life-changing…and possibly world-saving …decision.

Matthew Fox Interview Posted by DarkUFO at 2/20/2011 08:35:00 AM View Comments Labels: Interviews, Matthew Fox

Thanks to Eboni for the heads up.

As he prepares to make his West End debut, the Lost star on why he is more comfortable flying his plane, sitting on a horse or herding cattle than walking up a red carpet

'My hangar is my getaway place. Some guys have a garden shed where they can disappear. This is my sanctuary where I can get away from the world, where it's just me, my car and my plane,' said Matthew Fox

When they can get away with it, some celebrities like to be interviewed in five-star hotel suites. It’s safer for them; they’re never far from their agent and preferred brand of bottled water. Matthew Fox, the star of baffling yet reverentially followed TV saga Lost, invites me instead to the top of a 9,000ft volcanic cone with a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains.

Fox is something of an iconoclast. Mount Bachelor, in Bend, Oregon, is his home patch. Geography is not the only thing that distances him from LA. He might not be the only star who dislikes Hollywood’s latest fixations; he is, though, one of the few who will actually say it.

‘Look at 3D,’ he says. ‘That’s a major setback to good storytelling. I took my little boy to see The Last Airbender. It was an awful film. The director M Night Shyalaman hasn’t directed a decent movie since The Sixth Sense.

‘I’m disillusioned with the drift towards gratuitous entertainment, which so much of Hollywood is now. Because of the state of the economy people seem to want pure escapism. But if the roles I fight to get all go to Matt Damon, then I won’t work. I turn a lot of stuff down – big, big movies, the kind I wouldn’t want to go to the cinema to see.

'I’m sorry, but I can’t make a movie with the blonde from ER who is starring in every single bad romantic comedy. Unless they reinvent the wheel in terms of romantic comedies – in other words, they start making them funny and romantic again – I’m not going to be starring in any of those movies.’

'I'm far more comfortable sitting on a horse and herding cattle than walking up a red carpet'

I sensed this might be the measure of Fox during my journey here. Not to the top of the cone – that was easy: a drive up the mountain by way of scenic detour, en route to the vast aircraft hangar where Fox keeps his plane. The hard part was getting to Bend, a tiny city tucked into the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Central Oregon.

It’s difficult to imagine a more remote spot to settle in, and snow has made the journey even more difficult. A nine-hour flight to Seattle is followed by a ten-hour wait for a connection; only to find, in my case, that at 1am all flights are cancelled, meaning I will miss my 10am meeting with him.

Fortunately a couple of locals at the airport sense my panic; they are also huge fans of Lost. So they drive me and Live’s photo crew seven hours through the night in their hire car, arriving at the hotel just minutes before Fox is due to pick me up.
The plan is that Fox will take me up for a spin in his own Bonanza G36 plane but weather conditions dictate otherwise.
‘If we attempt to fly in this snow we’ll almost certainly crash. It would make for an interesting headline, but this isn’t the day I’m planning to die.’
Instead we head towards his hangar where we’ll drool for a while over his plane before he treats me to lunch at his favourite local diner.
‘My hangar is my getaway place,’ he says. ‘Some guys have a garden shed where they can disappear. This is my sanctuary where I can get away from the world, where it’s just me, my car and my plane.’
The 44-year-old likes to be taken out of his comfort zone.

I’ve Got Your Number: The Cultural Truth of Hurley in Lost by Pearson Moore Posted by DarkUFO at 2/14/2011 07:57:00 AM View Comments Labels: Hurley, Pearson Moore

He was cursed and crazy, so out of touch with reality that an imaginary man became his best friend, and an insane man with a vocabulary of six words was his greatest intellectual inspiration. His unearned wealth could not prevent the misfortune that visited all who came into his influence. His father left him, his grandfather died at the lottery press conference, his best friend on the Island was drowned, his girlfriend was murdered. Even the woman who interviewed him was smashed to dust in a meteor strike. He was artless, witless, helpless, hopeless.

In an Island world that prized the strange symmetries of mirror reflection, he provided the most interesting and useful insights into human capacities for harmony. His mirror revealed a reality replete with good fortune, charity, and good will. “I’m the luckiest man alive,” he said, a smile brightening his cheerful face.

“Oh, the ‘sideways world’,” some say, scoffing. “Purgatory.” No. Not purgatory, but reality. In the dark days of the Smoke Monster, his golf tournament brought sunshine. In the most memorable scene of Season Three, he proved bad luck is a state of mind. And in the last minutes of the series, his humanity and clarity of vision were honoured with the Island’s most sacred trust. The mirror revealed a man with greater sanity than any of us possess, a man so blessed that he was entrusted with the very future of humankind. For our sake, for our grandfathers’ and girlfriends’ and children’s sake, we must move beyond the curses and craziness of our lives and adopt instead the peaceful ways, the sane and blessed symmetries of this gentle man, Hugo Reyes.

Elizabeth Mitchell to guest on Law and Order: SVU Posted by DarkUFO at 2/11/2011 10:58:00 PM View Comments Labels: Elizabeth Mitchell, TV Appearance

Fan fave Elizabeth Mitchell, who was nominated for a 2010 Emmy for her portrayal of Lost's tragic Juliet Burke and is now kicking lizard butt on ABC's V, has been signed for a horrifying guest role on NBC's Law & Order: SVU.

She'll be starring alongside returning guest star Jeremy Irons, who appeared earlier this season as the colorful Dr. Cap Jackson. Elizabeth will play an unmarried piano teacher who was the last person to see one of her students alive.

While SVU has tackled some unsettling topics during its twelve seasons, this one may take the cake — and win Elizabeth her first Emmy. For the first time, the series will deal with a case in which a woman is suspected of sexually assaulting and murdering a child.

Because of the rarity of this offense, Dr. Jackson is called in to consult with Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) because he has studied women who have committed this heinous type of crime. The shocking episode, titled "Totem", is scheduled to air March 30.

So Lost/V fans, how do you feel about our little Miss Juliet engaging in something so horrifying? Excited to see this? Or would it forever cloud your image of Sawyer's idyllic love?

Sugar and Spice, But Everything Gneiss: The Cultural Ambiguity of the Guardian in Lost by Pearson Moore Posted by DarkUFO at 2/07/2011 02:58:00 AM View Comments Labels: Pearson Moore

So it begins.

She was the starting point, the catalyst that ignited the passion and imagination of boys who became masters of the Island, defenders of life, purveyors of death. She was evil harnessed for the protection of the Source, goodness for which there is no outlet, love for which there is no object. She was a jumble of contradictions, a loving mother who despised people, a woman with no beginnings who plotted her own end. Most of all, she was scared. Fear filled her eyes, changed the tone of her voice, for she knew her time had come, but no Protector appeared.

She protected the Source, the Light which all men seek. To fulfill her mandate she would commit any act, fabricate any falsehood, suffer any wound. The Source was well protected from the elements, fed by clean water, and not subject to natural paths of degradation. Animals had no interest in the Heart of the Island. Her sole duty, the one she feared and loved, was the protection of the living, breathing Island from the only predators that could harm the Source. Like the Man in Black, she had no name. She was adoptive mother to boys, Protector of the Source, but transcending both roles, she was custodian of the greatest myths and mysteries of the Island. We will call her the Guardian.

Light of the Island: The Cultural Essentials of Lost by Pearson Moore Posted by DarkUFO at 2/03/2011 08:05:00 AM View Comments Labels: Pearson Moore

You believe.

I cannot know every particular of your thoughts on LOST, but I do know you consider that the series had relevance to you personally. I know this because of your emotional condition the first time you saw the finale nine months ago. You at least had a lump in your throat—and if your troubled state approximated the extreme condition of millions around the world, you succumbed to warm tears after the first or second revelation—in the hospital with Sun and Jin, or at the concert with Kate and Aaron and Claire and Charlie. I was among the stoics who fought tears through the finale. I lost my battle at the candy machine with Juliet and James.

You believe. Faith commands the centre of our shared appreciation of LOST, and it provides the essential foundation of any real understanding of the series. Our ranks used to include millions more. With warehouse worker Hector, they screamed, “We deserve answers!” If only they understood what we know: LOST gave us faith, and faith provides the answers. This essay is about the provider of faith, trust, and hope, the giver of Light: The Heart of the Island. The Source is the basis for everything that occurred since September 22, 2004. Let us take a closer look at this foundation of our common fascination.
