Over at the A.V. Club, where smugness is a way of life, there's some good old finger-wagging going on, as the loyal commenters are mocking anything at all mainstream - as one pointed out, if LOST had been cancelled after the second season, it would have been considered the second coming of Twin Peaks (nerd confession - I'm not really that much of a fan of TP, but I can sort of respect the weirdness of it). The best post yet, however, comes from one guy ('Legface P. Backshoe,' to be precise) suggesting to another how to impress his wife's LOST-viewing party:
Dude, you should totally dress up as a polar bear and, when the party's in full swing, rush downstairs and kill one of the guests. When your wife is screaming "OH MY GOD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?" just look smug, stroke your chin and say, "Aaah. All will be revealed......"
Trust me, LOST fans eat that shit up.
Just let this serve as a warning to anybody thinking of stopping by Thursday night - I really like Legface's suggestion.
Speaking of the A.V. Club, it was time to bid a fond farewell to the awesome "My Year of Flops" feature (celebrity deaths come in threes, with Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger). "Flops" covered 104 of the crummiest movies ever, and really gave me something to look forward to reading each day. Ah well, that's the Circle of Life...

It's a good thing that I'll be on retreat on Thursday, so that I don't have to risk being mauled by a giant polar bear.
...I just have to endure sitting in a room full of cutters...
Also, I'm about to start reading the new comics. There's a good assortment this week including the new Captain America reveal.
I'll leave them on my desk. Feel free to break into my house and grab them. Just please, leave the polar bear outside. He always ends up making a mess.
