What are yours?
- When characters are brushing their teeth and they don’t make a mess. The last time I didn’t have toothpaste froth all over my mouth while brushing my teeth was NEVER. I am pretty sure that my least attractive moment of everyday is brushing my teeth. Perhaps I am a particularly messy at brushing my teeth, but seriously? Not a single dribble? It gets even more annoying when they brush their teeth without toothpaste. I mean, COME ON NOW, prop guy.
5 minutes into this and I’m already tearing up from thinking about how very very much I loved this when I was little.
Lost - Pilot (2004)
The two-hour opener of Lost is the BEST pilot ever made. Magnificent cinematography, a stunning score by Michael Giacchino that haunts me to this day, thrilling action sequences, great writing that introduced us to a variety of characters, and some majorly creepytastic moments (Smoke monster! Polar bear! Crazy french lady’s distress signal!) that still make my hair stand after numerous viewings over the last six years.
And check out that cap of Locke and the backgammon pieces - “Two players, two sides. One is light, one is dark”. That has waaaay more significance now, doesn’t it? Plus, everyone is probably rewatching these episodes now to spot the differences on Oceanic 815. I cannot wait to read all the theories about why Cindy gives Jack one vodka bottle instead of two. Oh, show!
This is total geek fodder. And it’s interesting to hear the ways that Lost was influenced by movies like Indiana Jones and Pulp Fiction.
