J.J. Abrams Shopping Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn Project

In April, Michael Emerson thought the idea of he and Terry O’Q uinn collaborating on a new show was far fetched, but admitted, “I think [O’Quinn has] gone so far as to half-seriously discuss it with various producer types.” Well, yeah, it now appears that “various producer types” included Lost producer J.J. Abrams. Vulture is reporting that Abrams and his studio, Bad Robot, are seriously pitching the idea of the former Linus and Locke playing one-time black-operatives in what’s described as a buddy comedy. (If anyone’s listening, my vote for a title is Locke and Loaded. ) [ Vulture ]

‘Jesus, What a Mess’: Mad Men Recapped

Every season of Mad Men has its defining WTF moment. Take Betty’s pellet-gun prowess in season one, or Freddy Rumsen’s pants-peeing in season two, or last season’s Great Lawnmower Foot Severing of 1963. The series wouldn’t be the same without these breathtaking, pitch-black detours into Mathew Weiner’s id (for better or worse), and the current season of the series wouldn’t be the same without its frequent journeys to that well for dramatic reckoning, comic relief and/or the sheer exhilaration of point-blank, old-fashioned shock. And if this year we’ve indeed seen both the best and the worst of what Mad Men has to offer, then it only fits that we have finally seen its weirdest. But was it worth it?

Paul Thomas Anderson’s Scientology Film Gets Indefinitely Postponed

Looks like Jeremy Renner’s schedule just got slightly less complicated. According to the actor, Paul Thomas Anderson’s much-anticipated Scientology film The Master — which would have starred Philip Seymour Hoffman as a cult leader in the vein of L. Ron Hubbard — has been thrown into development hell. “I was really bummed about that,” Renner told the print edition of Total Film . “It really kind of stalled because when we were rehearsing — Phil, Paul and myself — we kept coming up against a wall that we couldn’t overcome. Or at least Paul couldn’t overcome.” Don’t worry: You can overcome by watching There Will Be Blood again. [Total Film via The Playlist ]

Why Do Our Most Technology-Obsessed Filmmakers Make Movies That are Anti-Technology?

Did the recent, eerie trailer for David Fincher’s Facebook movie The Social Network make you feel bad about spending so much of your life in front of a computer? It’s more than a little ironic, since Fincher clearly spends so much time in front of his.
