Pop Culture Roundup Nov. 1, 2006
Martin Scorsese is working on a Rolling Stones documentary.
Scorsese started filming Sunday during the Stones' performance at President Clinton's celebrity-packed birthday bash at the Beacon Theater, and will also film at the Manhattan venue Wednesday night.
The film will focus on the two concerts from the group's current "A Bigger Bang" tour as well as historical and contemporary behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. A recent concert in Austin, Texas, was also filmed.
------------------------
A Jim Henson Henson Company-produced comedy special for grownups, "Puppet Up," will air on TBS Nov. 20.
"Puppet Up!" is a demonstration of what happens when the perilous and provocative forms of traditional comedy improv are mixed with a bunch of irreverent puppets. With a motley group of characters brought to life world-renowned puppeteers, "Puppet Up!" is truly innovative comedy. Performing the puppetry for the show are some of The Jim Henson Company's top puppeteers, as well as some of the country's top comedy improvisers.
---------------------
Yeah, Halloween is done and you've got the leftover candy to prove it. But check out these cool retro-'ween images on Neato Coolville anyhow.

Apple's new iPod Shuffle is out Friday.
Nearly half the size of the original, the new iPod shuffle is just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce and features a minimal aluminum design with a built-in clip, making it the most wearable iPod ever. The new iPod shuffle contains one gigabyte of flash memory which holds up to 240 songs, and is priced at just $79.
Amazon has it available for pre-order now.
---------------------
There's a new Beatles beatlegs podcast available.

Sad news: Gemstone is suspending publication of four of it's Disney comics series due to a rise in paper costs. Affected are Mickey Mouse and Friends, Donald Duck and Friends, Mickey Mouse Adventures and Donald Duck Adventures. Gemstone will continue publishing the "prestige"-formattted Uncle Scrooge and Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories, but the price of those will go up from $6.95 to $7.50.
That doesn't mean we'll be seeing less of Donald and Mickey, however:
Gemstone Publishing is moving full steam ahead with plans to make their Walt Disney Treasures an ongoing series; to introduce two new 80-page annuals; and to release several thick-but-inexpensive Shonen Jump-style black and white books per year—some specially targeted to collectors, others to all ages.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel profiles Timely-Atlas comics artist Allen Bellman.
He was 18 when he joined Timely Comics’ New York staff as an illustrator in 1942, and during the next several years he would draw a menagerie of characters: a wartime hero known as the Patriot, the amphibious Sub-Mariner, the fanged toddlers of a tale called Vampire Brats and the hard-boiled homicide cop Mike Trapp of the Let’s Play Detective serial, among others.

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.

"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?

"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.

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.

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.

Review: "Wisdom from the Batcave: How to Live a Super, Heroic Life"
It's easy to write off superhero comics as simple wish fulfillment: They're all about adolescent power fantasies.
After all, who wouldn't want the strength to beat up people you don't like? Or the power to fly? That would be cool.
But do superhero stories offer us anything else? Do they have any deeper value besides fantasy, escapism and nostalgia?
Carey A. Friedman thinks so, and details this belief in "Wisdom from the Batcave."
Friedman is a rabbi and this book is a spiritual self-help work of sorts, but not a cheesy, gimmicky one.
Friedman takes superheroes, especially Batman, quite seriously. He takes a close look at the Batman myth and what it tells us about living a meaningful life.
Batman is the ideal character for such an exercise because, more than any other superhero, he's human. He doesn't have any particular super powers. True, he's super intelligent and very strong. And he has an incredible car. But if we use our imaginations enough, achieving what he's achieved is in some way possible. We can all work toward improving ourselves.
And that goes beyond simply doing lots of pushups. Using Batman as an example, Friedman details the importance of family (Batman's got Robin, Alfred and an assortment of other folks he relies on for support), facing adversity (Batman emerges from the tragedy of his parents' death to do something constructive in the world--fighting crime) and strong principles. And it all comes off a lot less hokey than you might think.
A former chaplain at Duke University, Friedman got the idea of using Batman in this fashion while doing "Spiritual Survival for Law Enforcement" workshops for the FBI. Those sessions drew from philosophy and different religious traditions in order to give law enforcement officers the psychic tools they need to persevere in situations that sometimes feel bleak and hopeless. But while teaching the class and thinking about his own reservoirs of strenght and inspiration, Friedman kept coming back to Batman.
No doubt many of us other grown-ups owe more than we might think to the characters who inspired as us children. In a way, that made us who we are. Or who we'd like to be. And maybe that's why many of us still have an emotional attachment--one that goes beyond mere nostaligia--to these characters today.
Published by Compass Books, "Wisdom from the Batcave" is available in bookstores or via www.batwisdom.com
