'Lost' has a plan
Is an unresolved half-season of "Lost" better than no "Lost" at all?

ABC apparently thinks so. The network is - for the moment, anyway - holding to its plan to introduce the fourth season of "Lost" in February, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The decision stands in contrast to Fox's strategy for "24" - rather than airing episodes produced prior to the writers' strike, Fox has put the show on hold until production starts again and it can air a full, unbroken season.

"Lost," co-starring Naveen Andrews (above), has finished shooting eight of its 16 episodes this season.

Shannon, please, explain to me how I can paste stuff with pictures, because I am not sure about how this board works

Hi Lizz! Sorry for the problems with posting photos.

MERCY IN HER EYES
The Films of Mira Nair
Series: Applause Books
Publisher: Applause Books
Medium: Softcover


Author: John Kenneth Muir



“I want my films to explode with life.” –Mira Nair. This the first book to examine the films of the acclaimed and popular Indian-born and Harvard educated filmmaker, Mira Nair. A unique voice in cinema today, she is one of the few female directors who made it to the top of a male-dominated profession. Her films feature an incomparably sensuous visual style yet at the same time often record the injustice of the disenfranchised and the cross-pollination of East and West. Her twin themes of realism and romance make for dazzling cinema.

John Kenneth Muir analyzes all of Nair's work, including:

• Salaam Bombay! (1988), the groundbreaking story of a young boy abandoned by his family on the streets of Bombay.

• Mississippi Masala (1991), an interracial small town romance between an Indian woman (Sarita Choudhury) and an African American businessman (Denzel Washington).

• Monsoon Wedding (2001), featuring a Bollywood carnival atmosphere, one of the most successful foreign films ever released in the United States.

• Hysterical Blindness (2002), the HBO film featuring Uma Thurman and Juliette Lewis, looking for love in all the wrong places.

• The big-budget Hollywood adaptation of the Thackery novel Vanity Fair (2004), starring Reese Witherspoon, Gabriel Byrne, and Eileen Atkins.
