Lost: One Night's Sleep

Quote of the moment:
"What time did you get to bed?"

Mmmm. About midday. Started with The Da Vinci Code at the cinema, in which the ending's wrong and Audrey Tatou has disconcertingly enormous dark pools of eyes, and which I managed to watch in a different screen to everyone else, because for some reason the cinema filled one and then started filling the other simultaneous showing, with the cut-off point while I was trying to catch them up. It was puzzling entering the screen, to say the least, but I was dead centre in an almost deserted bank of seats with no contemptuous snorting from Steve, so I was fine. Steve, by the way, resembles Silas the monk almost as much as he resembles Smeagol.

Upon returning from the cinema I started watching Lost, Series 2, episode 9. I stopped during episode 18 because it was 9am and Martin wanted to go running.

HAHAHAHAHA. JESUS WILL! That is a LOT of LOST. Tis good though, eh? I've only got up to Episode 19. NEED MORE LOST. Dammit.

Um. Yes. The monk was kinda hot eh? Paul Bettany. FITTIE;) The ending wasn't *wrong*, they just didn't show the bit where the grandmother explained about her family. Just Langdon got it wrong, as he did in the book.. Right? Can't remember. Read it too long ago. Did you like it? How many stars? I shall go check on your flixster. Have you done it yet?

Ditto... need to scrounge for episodes after 19 tomorrow, have just watched it...

SPOILER ALERT

It WAS definitively wrong. The guy in Roslin Chapel who goes to fetch the rest in the film, he's the guide, right? Remember anything about him? Remember anything about her family, about why her grandparents separated?

In the film, the ending's about how she's the last one, blah blah blah. In the book, it says merely that she's one of the two "closest relatives", as it were, because her parents were both descendants. One of two, the other one being the guide, the reason the grandmother's in Scotland, her BROTHER.

Remember that, eh? Eh dog? Does that feel menial, hmmm?

The car chase was indeed spoilt by most of it being spent in conversation in the back seat, which was amazingly steady given the way the stunt driver was thrashing it in the outside shots.

Nono, you silly. The guidey guy who got the rest of the crew is - I reckon - her bro, but they just failed to explain that bit. And the whole fetching the whole PS crew was just bleugh. I didn't like it. How gay was that?

And are you *trying* to be Stewie again?

It wasn't silly, it was WRONG. PLAIN WRONG. :p
