Dopo averne perso una puntata una o due settimane fa, mi sa che rinuncerò a seguire
Lost; non tanto perché la continuity stretta mi impedisca di riprendere il filo, quanto piuttosto per il contrario: il fatto che in una serie che presenta cinque colpi di scena ad episodio e tre stravolgimenti del quadro d'insieme a stagione si riesca a capire tutto pur avendo saltato un episodio (e mezzo: quello dopo l'ho ascoltato mentre facevo altro), mi fa scattare l'allarme
"brodo freddo allungato".
Intendiamoci: la prima stagione era fica, anche se dopo un po' ci si assuefaceva al clima e l'inaspettato non era poi così sconvolgente.
Questa seconda stagione mi ha fatto un po' cadere le braccia: il conto alla rovescia grida
"fuffa!" da qualunque parte lo si guardi, e la comparsa degli altri dispersi non ha aggiunto nulla di interessante, mentre ha sfilacciato le trame che vedevano protagonisti quelli del primo gruppo.
Taciamo poi di quell'insostenibile tappo di
Michelle Rodriguez e della sua mania di tenere sempre gli occhi in su, che verrebbe voglia di tirarle degli sganassoni sul cranio a vedere se si rimettono a posto, stile slot-machine...
Dopo la catastrofe iniziale,
ER si è invece ripreso abbastanza bene e - pur non raggiungendo mai l'ottimo - ha presentato anche nella dodicesima tagione qualche episodio interessante (buono quello con
James Woods); siamo comunque lontani dai tempi d'oro, anche se un funerale ed una bella sparatoria al pronto soccorso è sempre quello che ci vuole per chiudere in bellezza una stagione.

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:James Woods grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island, USA, where he graduated from Pilgrim High School in 1965 near the top of his class.

Citazione random: "Achieving success as an actor has not been easy for me. My biggest, probably most irrational complaint has been that I've had to work harder for what I've gotten. I've seen other people with nepotism or wealth or cheesy good looks on their side who've had it easy, whereas I felt that I had to 'overprove' myself. No one ever went out of their way and said, 'Let's make Jimmy Woods a star.' With many frustrations and disappointments early in my career, I went into a deep depression. One time, I just sat in a chair for eighteen days. I worked my way out of that depressed state, but it took three years of therapy."
Salario massimo: $5,000, per Northfork (2003)

Rodriguez, Michelle (I)
Nome di battesimo: Rodriguez, Mayte Michelle
Data di nascita: 12 July 1978
Altezza: 5' 4" (1.63 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Known for tough-chick roles, Michelle Rodriguez is proof that there is a cross between beauty and brawn. Born in Bexar County, Texas on July 12, 1978, Michelle always knew she was destined to become a star, she just didn't know how to get there. Michelle lived in Texas until the age of 8 when her family moved to the Dominican Republic where she lived for two years before moving to Puerto Rico. At 11, Michelle's family relocated for the last time to Jersey City, New Jersey. Although she has been working since 1999 as an extra in such films as Summer of Sam (1999) and Cradle Will Rock (1999), it only took a magazine ad announcing an open casting call in New York for Michelle to decide to finally step into the spotlight. The role was the female lead, the movie was Girlfight (2000). Despite the lack of experience in film and boxing, Michelle auditioned, along with another 350 girls. After various trials inside an actual boxing ring and five arduous months of training in Brooklyn's Gleason's Gym, she was finally chosen to portray the role of Diana Guzman. As soon as the independent film began making the rounds at various film festivals, Michelle began gaining critical acclaim for her performance earning her awards like the Deaxville Festival of American Cinema award for Best Actress and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society for Female Breakthrough Performance. As Girlfight (2000) continued to gain notoriety with its September 2000 release, Michelle was already hard at work with films like 3 A.M. (2001), the blockbuster hit The Fast and the Furious (2001), and Resident Evil (2002). With Hollywood calling her name, the future for this feisty Jersey girl is as strong as the punches she throws.
Trivia random: When interviewed to join the cast of "Lost" as tough LAPD cop, she insisted that she would only sign on for one year because she is a "nomadic spirit". The producers came up with a story line and sold the idea of the short contract to the network.
Citazione random: "I don't think it's narcissistic at all to love yourself and believe in yourself. I think some people are really scared to do that. I have to. If I don't, I would not succeed in what I do."
