What Do We Make of Damon Lindelof’s Mea Culpa to Lost Fans?

Late on Friday The Daily Beast published an essay from former Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I . The crux of it: Because Lindelof, a life-long Harry Potter fanatic, found himself hating The Deathly Hallows , he finally understood what it meant to be a fan. Specifically, he finally understood that the irate sect of Lost fans who hated the series’ ending had merit. “I sincerely and genuinely apologize to all those whom I have stripped of their Lost fandom just for complaining about the stuff you didn’t like. It doesn’t make you any less a fan,” Lindelof wrote. “In fact, it just makes you honest. I respect that. And I’m genuinely sorry for ever feeling otherwise.” Which begs the question: Why?

Tom Hooper on Directing The King’s Speech, Oscar Buzz and Working with Right Said Fred

But that hasn’t stopped the prognosticators from predicting at least some Oscar gold for The King’s Speech — not a bad situation at all for a guy who got his start directing a Right Said Fred Sega commercial (yes, that Right Said Fred).
