My favorite part of this week’s Lost. Chip Lowell is all grown up and he’s packing some serious heat.
Rob Lowe was wearing this great shirt on the Tonight Show a few nights ago. It’s a riff on the famous Benjamin Franklin Join Or Die engraving from the American Revolution, but instead of the individual segments of the snake being the colonies, they are the boroughs of Manhattan. If you embiggen the photo, you can clearly see the B.X. for the Bronx, Q.N. for Queens and M. for Manhattan, with the obscured head and tail as Brooklyn and Staten Island.
I want one, but I can’t find this shirt online anywhere. We must band together to find it - we must Join, Or Die. The t-shirt quest I mean. Join the t-shirt quest. Or, um, die. OK, I’ve strained the metaphor.
P.S. Most of the chatter online I’ve found about the shirt seem to assume it’s a demonstration of right-wing support. It’s obviously not. So all the wingnuts who got excited and thought Sam Frickin’ Seaborn was with them should pipe down.
Anybody wanna buy a talk show?

…no critic was prepared for “West Wing” alum Bradley Whitford to turn up onstage for Fox’s upcoming buddy cop show “Code 58” wearing a classic ’70s push-broom on his upper lip.
Whitford, who grew the ’stache to capture his character’s retro approach to crime-solving, said the facial hair has been a cross to bear.
“Women are fascinated and creeped out,” he said, “and I always get this reaction which is, ‘Oh, are you growing that for a part?’ A kind of disgusted, creeped-out thing. And my kids hate it.”
But he did feel he deserved some credit for the personal transformation: “My growing this mustache, I gotta say, it reminds me of a lot of the work De Niro did in ‘Raging Bull.’ ”

“Now, the thing that has been exalted and the thing that American entertainment is consumed with is the individual being bigger than the institution. How many frickin’ times are we gonna watch a story where somebody [Rises up against the odds?] “You can’t do that.” “Yes, I can.” “No, you can’t.” “I’ll show you, see?” And in the end he’s recognized as just a goodhearted rebel with right on his side, and eventually the town realizes that dancing’s not so bad. I can make up a million of ’em. That’s the story we want to be told over and over again. And you know why? Because in our heart of hearts what we know about the 21st century is that every day we’re going to be worth less and less, not more and more.” — DAVID SIMON - Vice Magazine

I’m through 5 out of 6 episodes of your remake of the Prisoner. Still formulating my thoughts on it, but I have one question:
What on Earth possessed you to show it 2 at a time over 3 consecutive nights? Who’s got time to devote that much attention over such a short span? It definitely diminishes the viewing experience. I’d have much rather had 6 consecutive weeks.
Or do you agree with most of the public opinion that it’s not very good, and was this a way to dump it as quickly as possible?
