Agree that it's a good one and actually is pretty worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>FYI: <A REF="http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/">UnitedHollywood</A> has a post by Carlton Cuse in a letter to the WGA. In it he dispels any disunity amongst the showrunners...saying he went to work on LOST as a producer to work on the remaining episodes for the fans. But now, to show the AMPTP that the showrunners mean business after the "negotiations" last week, he will no longer work on LOST in that capacity.mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159992386642158559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-80572882859979590292007-12-03T21:13:00.000-05:002007-12-03T21:13:00.000-05:00Okay Mobisode 5 watched (thanks memphish for the h...Okay Mobisode 5 watched (thanks memphish for the heads up on that).<BR/><BR/>Of Mice and Men read.<BR/><BR/>Agreed about The Turn of the Screw...doing it here is great, and leisurely for those of us who can never manage to make it to a podcast ;).<BR/><BR/>This has been a productive snowday, although I still feel sad after Of Mice and Men...I think ice cream and starting Carrie is the solution to that.<BR/><BR/>Will Turn of the Screw be the new post Melissa?Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765706312071601231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-2991368470899399502007-12-03T20:11:00.000-05:002007-12-03T20:11:00.000-05:00Missing Piece #5, Operation Sleeper, is up in Dark...Missing Piece #5, Operation Sleeper, is up in DarkUFO's spoilers now.

Also, option D for pushing things back a bit also works (mainly because I'm completely behind in reading!)<BR/><BR/>Now regarding the pencil sending/raffle-<BR/>Ange said...<BR/>I can only imagine the things that may or may not come out of my mouth given the opportunity to talk to an actual Lostie!<BR/><BR/>Isn't that the truth! I'm sure I would be a babbling idiot- probably end up asking "Who does Kate choose- Jack or Sawyer?" LOL Then I would have to go kill myself. <BR/>But it did get me thinking, what would I ask the producers? I feel so distanced from LOST right now, I've almost forgotten what really juicy questions I would normally think to ask. So I put this to you all, just as sort of fun and get our minds going- what would you ask Damon, Carlton, and Foxy about the show if you had the chance?Scoutposthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887539907680995709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-29254879725351529902007-12-03T16:28:00.000-05:002007-12-03T16:28:00.000-05:00Hey everyone!I like Maven's idea for the podcasts....Hey everyone!<BR/><BR/>I like Maven's idea for the podcasts.

I already have questions for Turn of the Screw, so we could start right away.<BR/><BR/>The last time that I talked to David, his job had let someone go and given him all of that person's work, plus he was supposed to be programming an entire radio station by himself. So, I know that he's not flaking out, he's just under a ton of pressure right now. Knowing that, I hate to pester him to do a podcast.<BR/><BR/>Hey, if all else fails, I see that Dennis will be doing a weekly Cloverfield podcast - we can just hijack that!

You can post your questions and we can go from there. There might be more participation that way since December is such a busy month family-wise.

That said, I haven't even gotten a little bit of the way through Of Mice and Men. Although TBF it's a reread so it shouldn't take but and hour or two.

They were mostly talking about whether or not films and albums would ever be released only online, but they also talked a little bit about TV shows being available online and On Demand, and how that was changing the way TV is made and marketed. Then they talked a little bit about ARGs, and the two examples that they used were the Heroes game and The Lost Experience! They mentioned how these games helped build strong online fan communities, and I thought of all of you. :)Melissa_Lossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978237889577633466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-51663395670622444062007-12-03T09:38:00.000-05:002007-12-03T09:38:00.000-05:00Hey Twinkle, long time no anything! :o) Good to h...Hey Twinkle, long time no anything! :o) Good to hear from you.

International Television Distribution (WBITD) has announced it will launch a number of branded, video-on-demand, non-linear channels on a subscription- and advertiser-supported basis over a variety of delivery platforms.<BR/>The on-demand and broadband models make financial sense, says Jeffrey Schlesinger, WBITD's president. "The costs here are much lower than creating a linear channel. You don't have as much on-air promotion that you have to do. You don't have as much scheduling or advertising sales infrastructure. You don't have to worry about commercial insertion." In the UK, Warner TV is on Virgin Media's digital cable platform and on BT's IPTV television platform. This service is available to all on-demand subscribers.</I><BR/><BR/>Sounds like the WB is trying to get around paying residuals. Damon warned us about the changing nature of television. Could this be a sign of that change?<BR/><BR/>I think I'll send them another box of pencils.Amused2bHerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629800303753669429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-40604999994174223702007-12-03T07:34:00.000-05:002007-12-03T07:34:00.000-05:00Great!Great!memphishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135806668363907263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710412.post-5468149401817709642007-12-03T00:04:00.000-05:002007-12-03T00:04:00.000-05:00Update: This seems to be legit.
