Lost again – The whole truth

“Lost” continues and all we can think about is “them” and “him” being a “them”. The hatch is a cozy place. Who brings your cereal? How old is it? Does it have an expiration date? Do we want to ask questions? Or are we just lost without a clue about life and the universe. Pray my friends for we are all lost and everything is lost. Behold the theatrical glue and mind the polar bear wig! And then… swirly swirly swoosh … here comes the smoky monster smoke, making trees explode and seemingly killing people. Yes seemingly!

Check out the X-Men The Last Stand HD trailer over at apple.com.
