The Lost Spoiler’s Blog has posted excerpts of an interview with Michael Emerson, who plays Benjamin Linus on Lost.
In the season 3 finale, Benjamin Linus was left strapped to a tree, warning that the people on the freighter would kill every living person on the island.
Emerson said via a phone interview with one of the Blog’s editors, Larry Higg’s, “I’d say season four will be far rougher than anything he (Ben) has seen. The violence doesn’t stop, it ramps up. Ben is in dire straights. His army has disappeared, he doesn’t have the loyalty of Juliet. It will be Ben living by his wits.”
The blog also reports that Ben will make a pact with a splinter group of the Flight 815 survivors.

Director Zack Snyder (300) has posted two storyboards from his upcoming Watchmen adaptation over at the film’s official website.
Snyder also posted the following message: ‘Storyboards are without a doubt, the most efficient way to communicate what’s in my head to all the departments throughout the project. [...] Once completed, the boards play a key role throughout pre-production, mapping out every frame that I intend to shoot. Visually presenting the what, where, why, who, when, etc. of every frame. This gives us a starting point for discussions. As we break down each frame, department by department, they help clarify everyone’s responsibilities, needs and expectations. The boards often spur discussions that raise important questions. Many times the answers to these questions are crucial to a successful shoot.’
The film is set to debut in theaters March 6, 2009.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
