I pre-ordered Halo Wars thru buy.com and received it the Saturday before its Tuesday release date. Could depend where you live and where they ship from. I'm in Chicago and was shocked to see it arrive before the release date.

Been playing Friday the 13th on an old Commodore 64...classic.

I think I just found the answer to my own question. I guess IMDB is notorious for messing credits up...

'Lost': Aronofsky will not direct

Fans of both the hit TV show Lost (which features a guy haunted by a sinister sequence of numbers) and indie filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (whose breakthrough film, Pi, was about a dude obsessed with devilish digits) will have to wait a bit longer to see if these two geek tastes can taste great together. The director has respectfully bowed out of helming one of the current season's remaining episodes due to scheduling conflicts. "The timing didn’t work out," Aronofsky tells us. "I’m expecting a child." (The mom-to-be, of course, is Oscar nominee Rachel Weisz.)

The director, who is putting the final touches on his long-awaited sci-fi drama The Fountain, is also prepping a new movie called Flicker, an adaptation of the cult novel. (There are also rumors that The Fountain is being strongly considered for a slot at the Cannes Film festival this spring.)

There are still hopes, however, that Aronofsky -- a big fan of the show -- will be able to direct an episode next season. Considering how Aronofsky drove Ellen Burstyn nutty with diet pills and a demonic fridge in Requiem for a Dream, just imagine what he could do with the washing machine and all that smack inside The Hatch. Be very afraid, indeed!

I just checked IMDB and it said this episode was the one driected by Darren Aronofsky, along with Karen Gaviola. Did anyone catch this in the credits? I thought they would make a big deal about the Aronofsky episode since it seemed like big news when it was announced.

Also, each epsiode run about 42 minutes, so everyone saying that the Jin/Sun backstory took up 40 minutes is probably about 10 minutes off, not that it really matters.

Not sure why everyone is talking about next week show. From what I've read the next new episode is on March 22nd. Anyone know this for sure? According to next week's TV Guide next week is def a repeat.

Springsteen did one last year around the time Devils & Dust came out. It's out on DVD and it's great. He only plays about 8 songs but he breaks them down almost line for line. Thunder Road alone is worth it. The show on VH1 was only an hour, but the DVD is over 90 minutes.
