Pop Culture Roundup Oct. 27, 2006
A Doctor Who-themed benefit concert to raise money for disadvanaged children sold out quickly, the BBC reports.
All the tickets for the star-studded concert at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff sold out within just two hours of going on sale.
The event will feature the BBC National Orchestra of Wales performing selections of Murray Gold's celebrated incidental score, accompanied by a host of stunning visuals from the most recent series of Doctor Who.
The audience can also expect live appearances from some of The Doctor's greatest enemies, including the infamous Daleks and the villainous Cybermen.
David Tennant, who plays the time-travelling Doctor, has confirmed that he will be on hand to take part in a question and answer session alongside Doctor Who writer and Executive Producer, Russell T Davies and Murray Gold.
Ticketless Doctor Who fans need not miss out because the concert will be recorded by BBC Radio Wales, to be aired at a later date.
--------------------------
The creators of "Arrested Development" have a new comedy series in the works.
Mitchell Hurwitz and former "Arrested Development" scribe Richard Day have signed on to develop the U.S. adaptation of the British comedy "The Thick of It."
The BBC4 series centers on a put-upon member of Parliament who is continually harassed by inept bureaucrats working for the prime minister and other politicians and civil servants. Starring Chris Langham and Peter Capaldi, it took the best new comedy trophy at the British Comedy Awards.
---------------------------
A live DVD featuring Elvis Costello and New Orleans legend Allen Touissant will be out Nov. 21. You can pre-order it from Amazon for $13.99.
"Hot As a Pistol, Keen as a Blade" sports nearly two hours of live performances, from "The River in Reverse" tracks like the title song, "Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further" and "Six-Fingered Man" to Costello solo material such as "Monkey to Man," "Tears Before Bedtime," "Watching the Detectives" and "Clubland."

"Lost" clues: "Every Man for Himself" Ep. 4, Season 3
Synopsis:
Wise to Sawyer's plans to escape, the Others pull him from his cage and bring him to an operating theater. Sawyer awakes and sees a bandage on his chest. Benjamin tells him they've implanted a pacemaker. If Sawyer's pulse races beyond a certain point, his heart will explode. This should put a stop to any fighting with guards and planning to escape. Benjamin says the Others will perform the same operation on Kate if necessary.
Sawyer is returned to his cage and Kate questions why he's given up escaping.
Meanwhile, the Others force Jack to operate on their member Colleen, who was shot by Sun. Working in primitive conditions and doing his best, Jack is unable to save her.
Picket, Colleen's boyfriend (husband?) becomes enraged and vows to get revenge on the passengers. He beats up Sawyer in retribution but stops short of killing him.
In flashback, we see Sawyer in prison. His sentence is cut short when he informs on another prisoner. He also learns he has a baby daugher, but is determined not to become part of her life.
At episode's end, Benjamin takes Sawyer up on a rise to look over the ocean. Sawyer sees that he, Kate and Jack are being kept on a different island from the one their fellow passengers are on. He sees escape would be more difficult than he'd imagined. Benjamin tells Sawyer that the pacemaker operation was a sham to keep him in line. The Others conned the con man--the only way to earn his respect.
Clues, observations, speculation:
* Desmond sees the future again and erects a makeshift lightning rod from a golf club, which keeps Claire and Charlie from getting zapped.
* The Others say Colleen and her crew are back on the "sub." Do they really have a submarine?
* Juliet tells Jack she's a fertility expert. Does this have something to do with the Others and their weirdness with children, i.e. Claire's baby, Walt, the child passengers that were abducted? Speaking of which, where are the kids we saw last season? Are they with Benjamin's group or some other Others?
* In the operating room, Jack spies x-ray images on the wall. They show a tumor on someone's spine. Later he confronts Juliet about this. He's a spinal surgeon, so who did they bring him there to operate on? Is it Benjamin? Is this the "one thing" he asked Jack to do for him (in episode 2 this season) in exchange for freedom?
* Sawyer is seen reading "Of Mice and Men" and later quotes from the book, as does Benjamin.
* Is the Others' island Pala Island? Last season they mentioned the Pala Ferry? Could this refer to the sub? Why can't the crash survivors see this island from where they are?
* Tom, aka "Mr. Friendly," tells Benjamin "Since the sky turned purple 2 days ago, I haven't been able to re-establish the comms." Who are they communicating to? How are they blind? And is this a reference to the whiteout caused by the Hatch implosion?

Pop Culture Roundup Oct. 25, 2006
Cartoonist Marjane Satrapi is blogging about the upcoming, animated version of her graphic novel "Persepolis."
-----------------------
There's a new Beatles beatlegs podcast up.
------------------------
"Lost" has, um, lost a fifth of its audience this season.
------------------------
This probably won't help: "Lost" will go on hiatus following the show's Nov. 8 episode, returning Feb. 7. It's nice to have these rerun-free stretches of episodes, but the show may lose momentum by taking such a long break. A new series, "Day Break," takes the show's time slot during the hiatus.
-------------------------
A live-action series featuring Marvel Comics' Moon Knight is planned.
-------------------------
At Flog: A look at Gene Dietch's overlooked 1950s comic strip Terr'ble Thompson, including MP3s of an old Golden Records adaptation of the strip featuring music by Mitch Miller's Orchestra and a vocal appearance by Art Carney.
--------------------------
Yahoo! has preview scenes from tonight's episode of "Lost."

Pop Culture Roundup Oct. 24, 2006
The U.S. National Security Agency thinks "Lost" and "CSI" viewers may have the right stuff.
Fans overwhelmingly responded to NSA help-wanted ads aired in the Washington-Baltimore market during the two shows this fall, the Baltimore Sun reports. NSA Human Resources Director John Taflan told the newspaper in a written statement the ads brought thousands of hits to its Web site.
It's obvious why the NSA targeted viewers of 'CSI,' the CBS franchise about forensic science, but the choice of ABC's 'Lost,' about a disparate group of plane crash survivors marooned on a mysterious island, is not as clear.
Longtime CIA officer Ron Marks told the Sun 'Lost' is a good choice because it reaches an 'audience that's interested in problem-solving and thinking differently.'
-----------------------------
Hugo Pratt's acclaimed "Corto Maltese" comics tales will be available to U.S. readers again soon.
Heavy Metal..is releasing the initial volume in the Corto Maltese saga, Ballad of the Salt Sea ($14.95), this December. Heavily influenced by the adventure comic strips of Milton Caniff and the tough guy-with-the heart-of-gold heroes of the American cinema (think Bogart in Casablanca), Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese graphic novels chronicle the adventures of a laconic sea captain who gets involved in a fascinating series of globe-spanning yarns set in the early twentieth century.
Previous English editions of Pratt's works are selling for big bucks on Amazon and elsewhere, so this is good news to fans.

Late BBC DJ John Peel left his legendary 250,000-record collection to his wife, Sheila.
