LOST
Time

I remembered one more: Richard Alpert.  I suppose there's more to come on this guy, but again- I felt the mystery of the guy was really... mysterious.  Not only did he not age, but he seemed to be omniscient and omnipotent as well!  He knew John Locke would come to the island 30 years before it happened!  He made Juliette's ex get hit by a bus!

Turns out he was acting on information from a time traveling John Locke.  Yeah, it makes sense and it gives us the very cool pocket watch loop... but it's kind of a lame handling of Alpert.  He's just not as cool as he used to be.  Throughout most of season 5, he seemed like he was kind of stupid.

Hopefully he gets some back in season 6.

The only other podcast I have ever really cared about is the Official Lost Podcast, those things are sometimes more entertaining than the actual show. I have almost wrecked my car from laughing so hard while listening to it while driving (not a good idea).

 Yeah, they're pretty funny.  I regret that there won't really be a zombie season... and that we'll never get to see that orangutan in an ascot... and that the mystery of the Hurley Bird will never be answered on the show.

I love podcasts.  Here are some of the ones I listen too (without links, because I am not sitting in front of my home pc)

Creative Screenwriting
Bungie Studios
IGN's Daily Fix
IGN Three Red Lights
1Up's L1sten Up (or whatever it's called now)
Official Lost
G4's Fresh Ink
G4's Sessler's Sandbox
G4's X-Play something something
IGN's Tech Fetish
The Onion News Radio
The Onion News Network
HowStuffWorks.com "Stuff they don't want you to know" (This one is new and is AWESOME!!!)
Make Magazine

I listen in my car, and I drive for 1.5 hours a day, so I almost have time to listen to all of these.  But then I'll get an audiobook from the library or I'll go on vacation and I fall way behind.  Then I visit other sites for work and catch up.

Any recommendations?

Last movie seen
Time

How could it be crap with a title like that?

For me:

(500) Days of Summer as an adult.

Speed Racer as a kid (with the kids).

(500) had 2 scenes I really liked... and the rest of it was kind of meh.  I was watching it while working on my laptop (and my wife organized her scrapbooking stuff) and so the disjointed storytelling kind of lost me at times.  2.5 or possibly 3 of 5 $&%@^!.

Speed Racer.  I know people hate this movie... I can't help but love it.
