^Put so well.

[siburke939]

sounds like some no-name poster ranting because their favourite tv series (lost) sucked

[Chris Hughes]

Lost was unrivaled faggotry also.

[siburke939]

at least edwards scissorhands is upfront faggotry it doesn't pretend to be anything else

[Chris Hughes]

Lost was so unwatchable its up in the top 3 piles of shit i have ever seen.

[rubycalaber]

Lost was just too deep for you plebs :rubymad:

[Chris Hughes]

The only good thing about lost was when people died in it.

[rubycalaber]

I did get hard when shannon got snuffed

what are the other two worst things you've ever seen, guy who I'm assuming is bob hughes and not a parody alt?

[maks]

the only tv dramas worth watching are on hbo

[siburke939]

series 1 of lost showed great promise i was hooked but as soon as the 2nd series started anyone with an IQ of over 40 could see where it would end - complete cop out (lol, purgatory!)

[maks]

watch carnivale and you'll forget lost ever existed. the opening sequence alone is deeper than all 30 seasons of lost.

[siburke939]

i've seen deeper perfume adverts

All CSI variations and anything with Elijah Wood in it.

only the flashsideways was purgatory not the island god :rubyrage:

you look like a poofter too, Johnny

fuck csi in general and fuck them specifically for not getting creepy chan on their show

[Chris Hughes]

CSI is fail.

[rubycalaber]

it is basically the downfall of storytelling since they have so many spin offs and so many episodes that theyve done every kind of detective/crime/thriller/action/whatever story possible, kind of like when you try to come up with an idea for a comedy and find the simpsons have already done it

[Chris Hughes]

Old but bullet proof analogy.

yeah but watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas his acting is phenomenal

[siburke939]

he conveys so much emotion with just his facial expressions & body language in that movie i will never listen to anyone that sat through the whole of lost

wrong
so wrong
dont even know
you're wrong

go watch fucking tim burton movies fag

[Camoron]

im sure that one where johnyn depp wears guyliner is more your scene

[Plug Drugs]

Lost sucked.. so boring.
Long periods of inactivity, dragged out plots, and bland acting do not make a show more mysterious or something

[rubycalaber]

^mad because Lost was anti-drugs


yeah but watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas his acting is phenomenal

I watched it with my internet girlfriend desolation and awkward third wheel stomple and it was a good performance but probably just because it was an impression of a real person and he still needed a wacky get up and to be flailing around all over the place

[Plug Drugs]

Lost was anti-drugs? i didn't know that, i never made it through one episode

The real life Hunter S Thompson was flailing all over the place

most of johnny's acting personas post-1997 are directly inspired by Hunter S Thompson. Just an FYI

The "Jack Sparrow" character is basically Hunter S Thompson set in colonial times

[Plug Drugs]

funny, some girl i knew in high school just won a trip to vegas

little does she know she's about to spend more money at the casino and on alcohol than the trip to vegas was worth anyways

[Plug Drugs]

the people running the casinos in vegas are sociological experts on how frequently a human being will continue to press a button

bland acting? really ? of all the criticisms of lost (some of which have some merit i will grant) i've never seen this one before

[Plug Drugs]

it was typical cliche TV acting. When real people are put into survival scenarios, they don't take deep breaths right before delivering some inspirational bullshit and whatever

[Camoron]

they do if they are being chased by smoke mosnters and polar bears

[Camoron]

also its called dramatic license

i dont think anyone would act like a shakespearian character ever either but that doenst mean shakespeare is bad or cliche writing

[Plug Drugs]

yes yes and shakespeare was just based off of greek tragedy anyways and blah blah blah,
call it whatever you want, they didn't do a good job at it and from a neutral point of view (i wasn't caught up in the story, i was just casually watching it) it was cliche and wasn't fresh

[Plug Drugs]

it was just another television show with better cameras and film making equipment. With the script, they just re-hashed the trippy "Oooh what's going on here?" concept with films/shows like total recall, the truman show, the sixth sense, and the twilight zone combined with everyone's Survivor fetish at the time the show came out

It reminds me of shows like Niptuck which also suck and have some soap opera feel to them, but also have their innovative moments as well -- but the innovative moments don't outweigh the fact they're using the same cliche bullshit everyone else uses. There is no new direction being taken, just an appeal to a new generation that is still too unfamiliar with the last generation's same trippy survivalist garbage

[Plug Drugs]

hollywood basically thought to themselves "I wonder how long we can drag out a TV show with a mysterious premise before having to give away the 'twist' ending once viewer ratings start to drop in order to spice up the ratings for the finale"

[Camoron]

i really wouldnt call it a "survival drama" especially after the first season

the only thing that would really fit with that category is that they're trying to find a way home

if Lost is cliche and sucky, what TV show would you consider good? most everything on TV is pure crap, so maybe Lost isn't excellent but it stands out (to me) because it's better than pretty much everything else

[Camoron]

hollywood basically thought to themselves "I wonder how long we can drag out a TV show with a mysterious premise before having to give away the 'twist' ending once viewer ratings start to drop in order to spice up the ratings for the finale"

actually they insisted on ending it after 6 seasons while in production for season 2 so that they would know (roughly) what the plot would be ahead of time specifically so they wouldnt have to drag it out like that

they probably could have dragged it out another 2-4 years if they wanted to, ratings were good and it was the most talked about show on TV

[Plug Drugs]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the show promoted right around the time the show Survivor was really big? I think it was even advertised during Survivor's commercial breaks

exactly, everything on TV sucks. I haven't even turned on my TV recently to know what's "good" at the moment. I occasionally will be stoned and downstairs in the kitchen making food, and turn on cable down there and watch adult swim which seems to be consistently 'alright'. Idk are you seriously asking me advice on what to watch? I say fuck TV and just watch movies. Commercial interuptions complicate things and the substance of the story is compromised by the network's need to leave "cliffhangers" and other such associated bullshit

[Camoron]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the show promoted right around the time the show Survivor was really big? I think it was even advertised during Survivor's commercial breaks


Lost debuted in 2004
Survivor was like the late 90s

i dont know if it was advertised during Survivor but I doubt it since Survivor was on CBS and Lost was on ABC
there might have been some crossover in the audiences due to the similar setting of a desert island but the similarity pretty much ends there


i watch a lot of movies too but I like TV shows because they suck you in more and you get more invested in the characters

yeah, most of them suck, most tv shows are reality TV and the ones that are actually scripted are usually shitty crime dramas or horrible sitcoms or whatever, but there are some good ones. In that regard, Lost is in a different league from most fictional serialized television shows, which is why there have been so many attempted copycats of Lost (like The Event and The River) all of which had boring characters and tried to be mysterious like Lost but totally failed to capture anyone's interest and got cancelled in the first season

I like scifi so I enjoy Star Trek, Stargate, etc. Most recently I finally watched Battlestar Galactica and it was overall an excellent series imo even if the ending was kind of botched (some people let bad endings ruin an entire series/movie for them)
