* Maureen Ryan wraps up her long conversation with Lost‘s Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse in a two-part post: The first half’s the article she wrote up out of the interview, and the second half is part three of the interview itself. Lots of talk about the race of people on the Internet to be the first one to stop applauding, to see their skepticism validated, to go into things hoping not to be entertained, etc.
* As you can see below, I went Lantern Crazy today. There’s more at Robot 6. And if you read just one Internet thing today, make it Tom Spurgeon’s Muppet Lanterns.
* I haven’t seen Man Bites Dog in…13 years? I haven’t thought about it in about half that long, I’d imagine. But Scott Tobias has me wanting to revisit it in a post-torture-porn world.
* Vaya con Dios, Heidi Mac.
* Ta-Nehisi Coates is so good, I forgot he was a blogger today for an hour.
Spurge’s Muppet Lanterns are glorious, not to mention spot-on. If we in any way inspired that, I am filled with pride.
