4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

What do the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 mean??

Well, if you a fan of Lost, they are central to the plot. They are the numbers that were was broadcast from the Island's radio transmitter, Hurley used to win the lottery, they are the numbers on the hatch, and they expand their significance in Series 2.

The good folks from TV Squad ponder this and some other questions on a recent post

Aussie TV viewers will have to wait until sometime in 2006, but some of us have an inside scoop already.

Hey, did you know, if you add them up, they add up to 108. Hmmmmm.....

King Kong : It's Big

The boys and I went to see King Kong today.

It's a LOOONG movie - just over 3 hours. We all exercised good bladder control. An intermission could have been a good idea.

According to an article in Wikipedia, this is the most expensive film ever made in terms of number of actual dollars spent, which is put at about $207 million.

I remember going to see the previous remake from 1976, which was a modern take of the tale, where Kong climbed the World Trade Tower, and Jessica Lange was the woman in his life.

Anyways, this movie had 3 parts - Part 1 took place in New York during the depression and on a boat, which introduces the characters, Part 2 took place on Skull Island with Kong and all his friends, and Part 3 saw us back in New York for the finale, as well as a bizarre romp on the ice between Kong and Ann Darrow

Our verdict - well the boys are undecided. They liked the film, but felt it went a bit too long. The blogosphere has similar feelings.
