EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

There is a video interview with Matthew Fox over at EW.com where he looks very very pretty.

Oh, and I guess he talks about Season 4 as well. I didn’t listen, but ASSUME there are spoilery bits.

*cough* AHEM! The super cutetalented Matthew Fox was in Berlin for a big press conference about the upcoming Speed Racer movie, in which he will play “Racer X.” More photos from the press conference and bios of the cast can be found at the official site: http://www.SpeedRacerTheMovie.com. The movie is currently slated for a May 9, 2008 release.

I almost didn’t recognize Foxy without the scruff on his face. Big thanks to mysticxf from LJ-land for the heads up.

The Time magazine article (of the same name) is a cool breakdown of Foxy’s acting talents and how he engages people he is speaking with. I like this little bit from the interviewer:

That’s Fox’s great skill: he’s the homecoming king who’s somehow interested in you. Dawson is planning a fishing trip with him. I, for one, am convinced that Fox cares deeply about what music I listen to, even though I own every Billy Joel album and he’s good friends with Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day.

I’ve read enough of these summaries of the Lost panel from the TCA press tour to know that THIS ONE by IGN is probably the only one you need to read. These guys must have taped the thing, because the article is FIVE PAGES long (and includes pictures, which is always a good thing).

I haven’t had a chance to read the entire article yet, but read enough to know that it does contain SPOILERS for the rest of Season 3 and various characters’ storylines.

I finally had a chance to read Kristin Veitch’s “live blog” of the Lost panel at the TCA’s last weekend. You can find it HERE. She did have a few tidbits that I had not read elsewhere, including a confirmation that Kate and Sawyer were taken by Ben to help in manipulating Jack to perform the surgery. There ARE SPOILERS, so be wary.

ALSO — if you are a fan of Heroes, she mentions a SPOILER for that show as well. You’ve been warned.

I have not read the actual Men’s Journal article that got quoted in this AP article, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to. I am a fan of Matthew Fox — I really am. But the stuff he says in that article, whether it be true or not, is just stupid. Is he afraid that he is coming off as being too boring or something like that? GEEZ!

Missing your Dr. Jack? Needing a Foxy Fix? Well, you’re in luck — you can see him on Saturday Night Live this Saturday night (Dec. 2nd).

IGN has interview up with Matthew Fox wherein they ask him about the two movies he filmed last Summer (”We are Marshall” and “Vantage Point”), as well as Lost. Nothing spoilery.

Hee! I love making up titles that make people think, “Wha- ?” In some kind of “ground-breaking” advertising gimmick, Sam’s Club (yes, as in Wal*Mart-in-bulk) has made a special deal to show Matthew Fox’s movie “We Are Marshall” at some of its stores BEFORE the movie hits theaters.

Hopefully they will arrange for seating other than those handicap carts.

All of you UK viewers can head over and vote for Lost (Best Drama category), Matthew Fox (Best Actor) and Evangeline Lilly (Best Actress) in the National Television Awards. These are voted on by the viewers, and you can vote until the ceremony is held on October 31st. Results will be shown on ITV1 on November 1st.

William Keck at USA Today posted an article that looks at the everchanging faces in the cast of Lost. There are tidbits from Yunjin and Foxy on there feelings about the addition, yet again, of new cast members this season. Here is an interesting bit about the cast changes possibly being responsible for the dip in audience numbers this season so far:

But is tracking the vast cast contributing to a viewership slide? (Last week’s episode drew 16.9 million viewers, compared with 21.7 million for the same week last year.) Cuse says no and attributes the dip instead to the plot’s complexities.

“Lost has a whole history behind it,” he says, “and some casual viewers think it’s daunting to come watch the show if you haven’t been. We tried to design the show this year to make the basic concept pretty simple: our characters vs. The Others.”

Premiere magazine does a complete play-by-play of the first trailer out for “We Are Marshall,” which comes out in December and stars Matthew Fox. If you click the link, you can watch the trailer, too. Honestly, it has to be one of the most powerful movie trailers I’ve ever seen. Quote from the mag:

Fox voiceovers, “I promised mothers that I’d look after their sons — there’s not one of them left,” and if you aren’t weeping at this point, you are a meaner Irishman than I, because Matthew Fox can really sell some tragedy. How else do you explain six seasons of Party of Five?

USA Today examines the S3 premiere of Lost, The Others and what we learned about them. Article also includes brief profile on three of The Others: Ms. Bea Klugh, Mr. Friendly and Ben (f/k/a the fake Henry Gale).

They interviewed Foxy for the article. Interesting quote from him:

“I honestly think it’s going to be the best year yet. I can tell by the way the producers are talking about the year ahead that the show’s going to do a lot of things it hasn’t done.

“And philosophically, it’s going to touch on some cool issues.”

There are also soundbites from Carlton and Michael Emerson. WARNING!!! Some spoilery talk about this season!!
