Mel Gibson calls reporter an A-Hole

Mel Gibson gets indignant when asked about his anti-semetic views and public battle with alcohol abuse. Then he calls the interviewer an A-hole. Hey, Mel... that's really not the way to win back the public. WWJD?

(STRONG LANGUAGE)

Dude looks at porn at work... on camera

Check out the guy in the background, over the speaker's right shoulder. He's caught looking at girly pictures on his computer. (It starts at 1:05)

Lost: Here we go again...

If you check out my other posts tagged "Lost", you'll find the prediction I made 9 months ago for the opening shot of season 6: The plane safely landing at LAX. Well, I was half right.
So we have 2 parallel universes going on here? One where the bomb worked, and the crash never happened and one where the bomb didn't work and the gang is still stuck on the island (however, no longer in 1977, but present day). In the "saved universe" Desmond never made it to the island (that's now underwater), but somehow made it onto the plane (and then possibly disappeared from the plane?). In the "unsaved universe" things are getting freaky now that Jacob is dead and the others are hunkering down for a full-out war. But, wait a minute... What were Juliette's dying (or post-dying) words? "It worked!" Great... more questions and we only have 15 more episodes to go.

What did we find out?
Fake Locke is really the dude in black.
The dude in black is also the smoke monster!
Ash (and a high powered frequency fence) keeps away the smoke monster.
The stewardess from the plane is still alive with the others.
Jacob is really dead.
That wasn't Charlie's guitar in the case... it was a Jacob fortune cookie.
The actress that plays Shannon didn't sign a contract to be in the final season.

What questions are bugging me now?
What is that mark on off-island Jack's neck?
Why are the others in trouble if something happens to the on-island gang?
What's the man in black's beef with Richard Alpert?
Why weren't Walt and Michael on the plane?
Is that really Sayid or the reincarnation of Jacob?
Where did Christian Shepard's corpse go?
For what possible reason did the actress who plays Shannon decide not to sign a contract to be in the final season?

2010 Oscar Nominations

The nominations are in for the Oscars. There's now 10 movies that are up for best film. That means that I actually saw two of the nominated movies this year, as opposed to none. Not a bad list of nominees, but I'm still upset that the Academy didn't show any love for The Hangover!
