* With Lost Season Four mere minutes away, the L.A. Times’ Patrick Day lists 48 (mostly) unanswered questions from the preceding three seasons. (Via Whitney Matheson.)
* Meanwhile Topless Robot’s Rob Bricken and John Frusciante (no relation, as far as I know) list the show’s 24 biggest assholes—so, y’know, it’s a list of all the characters.
* At the New York Times’ Paper Cuts book blog, Saturday Night Live’s Bill Hader recommends several sci-fi and horror books, including Day of the Triffids and (now you’ll see why I’m linking this) Clive Barker’s Books of Blood (Via Whitney Matheson again.) Sample quote:
A friend of mine, years ago, gave me this, and I read the first two stories and was like, “I can’t handle this.” Then I read an interview with Alan Moore, and he was talking about how “Books of Blood” is one of the greatest collections of short stories ever. So I took another look, and it was so hilarious.
* Neil Marshall has posted the new one-sheet for his upcoming post-apocalypse action flick Doomsday. As with the trailer, I’m not sure I’m feeling it. I like that more thought was put into the design than just a blue-tinted giant face, but I feel like people might look at this and think it’s about Earth being invaded by female Darth Mauls and BloodRayne.
* Finally, a big thumbs-up to Jason Adams for joining me in making the connection between the key line of dialogue in No Country for Old Men and the chorus of the Tori Amos song “Bells for Her.”
