I have no words to express the awesomeness of this article about Damon and Carlton (aka “The Vegas Act”). It’s LONG, so grab some popcorn and prop up your feet, but it is SOOOOO worth the read.
ABC News put up this article earlier this month, but I missed it during the impromptu hiatus. Includes some quotes from DDK, including this one:
Kim told 20/20 he’d played at least fifty roles on television and had never gotten to kiss a woman on-screen until “Lost.” Kim says Hollywood stereotypes Asian American actors, relegating them to certain roles. “We’ve been portrayed as inscrutable villains and asexualized kind of eunuchs,” Kim says. “Even Jackie Chan in his movies rarely gets to kiss his female lead.”
Bravo to Lost for making strides to tear down this stereotypical wall. The Jin/Sun relationship is probably my favorite storyline on the show, and their ethnicity only adds another dimension to their love story.
For those of you who get a chance to check out the movie Gridiron Gang, which hit theaters last weekend, you may see a familiar face: L. Scott Caldwell plays The Rock’s mom in the film.
Someone went through a lot of trouble to put together this biography of Jay Hernandez, who plays Carlos in Six Degrees.
Something to add to your “six degrees of JJ Abrams’ nepotism” scoresheet — Jay had a role in the movie Joy Ride, which was written by JJ 
And, according to this press release, Jakob is going to continue to debut some of his songs on the show. Quotage:
New songs written and recorded by Dylan will also be utilized in the show on a regular basis… The songs will be available on iTunes (http://www.itunes.com) soon after their airings on Six Degrees.
According to “Six Degrees” Executive Producer J.J. Abrams, “I’ve been a huge fan of Jakob’s for years — his music has soul and heart and makes you feel good. I’m thrilled to have this chance to work with and get to know this incredible artist.”
“Stardust Universe” will premiere in tonight’s episode and other songs are in the works and could show up in future episodes. To me, this is just another example of “outside of the box” thinking by both JJ and Jakob. It is standard practice to have artists write songs for movies that are inspired by that movie, thus the plethora of movie soundtracks. In this case, Jakob is writing new music that is inspired by a television show and all that is unique about New York. These songs are in turn debuting on Six Degrees, giving the show an even more symbiotic connection to its viewers.
I just think that’s all kinds of awesome.
And yet another interview from the Lost S2 DVD Launch Party. That Todd at IGN must have been working his arse off out in Hawai’i.
In this interview with Daniel Dae Kim, Todd asks about the development of the Jin character through Season 2, and what DDK hopes for his character in the future.
Joanna Weiss from The Boston Globe wrote a very insightful piece about Lost. Specifically, she examines the show and how it relates to this post 9/11 world. Quotage:
But what really makes “Lost” a post-9/11 parable is mood. This is a show about uncertainty and indecision, about learning that a beautiful world is actually full of threats. It’s a paranoid fall from paradise.
Read it. It is intelligent, without being pretentious or floofy (yes, that’s a word — in my mind it is).
The guys over at CinemaBlend put up a Dragon*Con edition of their WeeklyBlend podcast. In this installment, they talk about one of the Lost panels that former Lost Labs scribe, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, held. They also talk about the Mira Firlan panels, which were usually both Lost and Babylon 5-related.
You can listen to the podcast on the site, or download it. The Lost stuff is just past the halfway point of the podcast.
Harold Perrineau will be coming to a big screen near you very soon. He has three film roles lined up — “28 Days Later,” “Your Name Here,” and “Gardens of the Night.”
FANTASTIC! Can’t wait to see more of Harold.
Evangeline Lilly talks to IGN about the Lost S2 DVD boxed set and hints at surprises ahead in Season 3.
Includes a FANTASTIC picture of Evi and Josh.
Pardon our dust 
Speaker and I are still tweaking and trying to bring stuff back up to snuff here at the EPM. In the meantime, I am going to do a little blogging to catch you guys up, okey dokey? Also, the feed is not working currently, but we’re working on that as well. Now, let’s get to it.
Stu Zicherman talks about casting in New York, where Six Degrees is being filmed. Snippet from the article:
Above all, Zicherman wants to find actors who “feel like New York people.” He adds, “Every kind of person is walking around the street, and the idea on our show is that at any moment, any of them can walk into your life. We want to find actors that feel unique, that could realistically be part of New York.”
Let’s see if I did this right…
Well… sorta.
I can’t get the old EPM to import. The newer version of WordPress apparently reads databases differently and I can’t figure out how to convert it.
I thought of upgrading the OLD WordPress blog in hopes that it would change the databases… but I can’t get to it anymore.
Anyway, bear with us as we get things back up to speed. Though, there will be updates alongside construction this time.
Sorry for the wait!
It’s been TOO long.
