Lots of Lost

Get Lost: Took My Money, Took My Car; Told Her Startled Friends She's Gonna Be A Star!

Where Am I? On the Island. What do you want? Entertainment! - The Prisoner Meets Gilligan's Island finally over.

Lost is the show that made Canadian Evangeline Lilly a star by breaking up her marriage to super supportive 1st husband Murray Hone. It did this by making Lilly realize how little they had in common now that she was a star. Of course Lilly was star material from the word go: she's a fresh faced Canadian babe with a name that rhymes with Angelina Jolie. So Hone was gonna have to get used to disappointment sooner or later.

and now for something not quite completely different

Lost made Lilly a star in another way two: by stringing along the American public week after week for about 6 years. So much so that I really expected last night's big grand finally to be merely a lead up to LOST: The Motion Picture, due out sometime in 2112. They'd answer all the questions by raising more questions - just like Sex And The City. So not having begun watching LOST I was inclined to pick it up just for the sake of the season finally. Still I had to wonder what the fuss was about.




In fairness No 2 was a little on edge in that episode because Nanny Harris had been over feeding HG, plus Karen & Ann had been working at that awful strip club again!

Hey everyone - it's Big Bunny!

When giant bunnies create havoc in your life then either you're trapped in a Britcom, or you're having the DT's again!

know your memes: new situations old complications

So that lead me to my own search for answers via Internet message boards, chatrooms, and of course Facebook. Now there was some kind of crypto-spiritual mumbo jumbo brought up with a lot of sly humor. So I begun to think that LOST was just a collection of TV tropes and cliches cleverly rearranged so that the whole package looked new and original - maybe even ground breaking. For instance here's what some cyber folk had to say about the phenomenon that was:

Tammy Nan LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbara Wheel I have never seen The Lost. Is it any good?

Jeremy Wright he dies in the end

&

Jeremy Wright oh yeah and Vader is his dad.

Dennis Jones Spoiler: Pam wakes up and it was all a dream!

Jim Dunn They've been "Lost" how long and Hurley hasn't lost any weight? Umm, I think someone has a giant stash of Twinkies.

Brad Penney but what happened to Gilligan & the Skipper too, the millionaire & his wife? Oh yeah, wrong castaways. I will say one thing for LOST, Gilligan's Island was funnier, barely.

Gilligan's Island was barely funnier but no less the pop cultural phenomenon. Evangeline Lilly came close to madness during her difficult "Don't call me Mary Ann" stage. She was always Ginger in her heart. You know how actors can get when the professional demands of the job interfere with pretending and play acting. Fortunately LOST has run it's course (for the present), and Lilly's career too probably. She can now escape the fame of which she has been so un appreciative (or over appreciative depending on how sincere an actress can be). She might even get back to those Liveleak commercials!

Little Miss Vixen and the Long Kiss Good Bye

Speaking of actresses at loose ends Megan Fox has got canned off of Transformers 3. Now everyone suspects that this was un account of her disparaging remarks about her boss Michael Bay. She said he was like Hitler on the set, which he let pass; and and that his movies weren't really masterpieces of Shakespearean drama, which he took exception too.

So I guess Megan proved her point about the egomania. Now proving that kind of point is like winning the battle and losing the war. In this case it means losing your job. Since Meggers ain't exactly a Stratford on Avon caliber actress (here @ Wondertrash we don't care who's toes we step on, so we're free to make all kinds of points with impunity!) that leaves the young hottie hard up for work.

Now Meggers had got some irons in the fire. She's thinking of marketing a new fragrance. She also might or might not be working on a reality TV deal, that might or might not involve multiple test tube babies. A sex tape with BAG might or might not be about to be released. An alcoholic breakdown followed by a rehab stint might also be a career booster! Meanwhile Meggers is making ends meat meet, usually not a problem for her, by releasing her own line of BRATZ dolls. They're called, appropriately enough Little Miss Vixen, and here they are!

Well the similarity is just striking. The dolls look just as life like as Meggars too - well at least since she had the plastic surgery. So here's to Meg for taking one of life's lemons and making some really cheesy lemonade out of it! Stay the course Wondergirl, cause you're doing super. We're laughing at gilded butterflies already (though laughing at gilded butterflies is a daily thing here @ the Trash. Probably something to do with the DT's!).

Remember Megan that Transformers has given you a whole world, and then taken it back again. You were a little young to learn so trashtastic a lesson but they play mean games in your chosen profession. My guess is that your Shakespeare tat kinda set 'em off and provoked 'em.

When you play a crooked game then the only way to win is cheat, and lay it down before you're beat. Then take the money & run!
