EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

I know everyone missed the red carpet at the Golden Globes, so to make up for the lack of glitz and glamour, CLOVERFIELD threw a helluva party last night. Go check out these pics from the premiere. Thanks to my buddy q for finding them over at IESB.net.

For any M.U.D. members checking out the pics, THANK GOD Goddard finally cut his hair

For the Trekkies ~ looks like the entire cast of the new movie was there.

I giggled myself silly over this article over at /Film.com, because it proves that viral marketing campaigns CAN be fun when the people behind them are …well, Evil Puppet Masters

It seems that the director of last Monday’s HEROES episode “Cautionary Tales” was Greg Yaitanes, and HEROES EP Greg Beeman revealed a series of photos of HEROES actors holding SLUSHO cups over at his blog that he says were set up by Yaitanes. Now, in the realm of “Six Degrees of JJ Abrams,” Yaitanes directed one of my favorite episodes of ALIAS, called “Another Mister Sloane” (Joel Grey FTW!!), plus two important episodes of LOST - “Solitary” and “Special.” So yeah, he’s connected to the BR boys in some fashion - but why these SLUSHO pics with the HEROES cast? The only explanation is a vague one (you’re shocked, I can tell):

Now, the next group of photos falls into the “don’t ask/don’t tell” category. I credit Greg Yaitanes for staging all these pix, under the supervision of Joe Pokaski. Their cultural significance will become clear in the coming months, so… pay attention!

For my fellow ALIAS fans, I would have to say that the following two pics were my faves:

And for those who watched Monday’s episode of HEROES, that cup that Elle (Kristen Bell) was drinking out of in her car while she waited with Mohinder at the beach should look VERY familiar

Now, what the hell does this have to do with Cloverfield? No idea - but it’s fun, isn’t it?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, What About Brian has been picked up for full season, with an order for the back 9 scripts. FANTASTIC news!

Sad news for SpyDaddy fans though — the same article indicates that Victor Garber’s show Justice has been cancelled.

Maggie Grace has signed on to star in the movie adaptation of the book “The Jane Austen Book Club.” Personally, I didn’t care for the book, but it will be good to see Maggie on the big screen.

The wonderful Greg Grunberg has coercedconvinced his new Heroes family to pick up the mantle and help him raise money for the Pediatric Epilepsy Project. There will be an auction held from November 6 thru 27th with a lot of cool Heroes-related items up for bid. The proceeds will benefit the P.E.P. The website addy is www.heroesauction.com.

Well, I guess I should have actually POSTED my notes about “Every Man For Himself” here, since Lauri from The Associated Press used some of them for that video round-up I linked to *NOTE: This is not EVERYTHING from that episode, but this is the stuff that I made note of during the episode and researched that night. Enjoy!

• Number 8 on the white rabbit — which, by the way, was a White Rabbit, which was an episode title from Season 1 (and should have clued you in that there was some sort of misleading going on). The white rabbit, in a cage, with the number 8 on its back is actually taken from Stephen King’s book “On Writing.”
• Desmond can see the future, but he can also ALTER it. Evidenced by his prevention of the lightning striking Claire’s tent.
• Kate says she loves Sawyer, then says she only said it to keep them from continuing to punch him, but then STILL stays in the cage, even though she can get out (and did, briefly).
• The X-Ray showed a spine, which led many fans to believe that it was Locke at first. But the preview leads us to believe that it is Benry.
• Ben says “the sub is back” which confirms that the Others have a submarine. That would allow them to get between the two islands undetected, and (to me) explains how Ethan was able to come from the water to kill Scott/Steve (still can’t remember which) without being seen coming.
• The cartoon they made Jack watch was “A Corny Concerto” which includes an early version of Daffy Duck, and is an Ugly Duckling story with war references. The Blue Danube is the main song in the cartoon. A Corny Concerto
• NUMBERS — Sawyer’s prisoner number was 840. The storage unit that the $10 million was put in was 23C.
• Clementine is the name of Sawyer’s (supposed) daughter. Also the name of an orange and is a very obscure reference to a scene in the Alias episode 5.01 “Prophet Five” where Vaughn and Sydney are discussing names for their baby. Clementine is mentioned, and Vaughn says that Clementine is a stupid name for a baby. Would have thought that was a throw away connection, except that Monica Breen and Alison Schapker wrote that episode of Alias, and they both now write for Lost — so maybe not such a throw away
• The prisoner who had the $10 million was played by Ian Gomez, who (in the Six Degrees of JJ Abrams) played Javier on Felicity.
