On this Memorial Day weekend, remember to take time to remember the American servicemen and women who paid the ultimate price so that you may live in a society that has the freedom to drop $80 million in five days on garbage like Sex and the City 2. Then take another moment to remember the turbulent week behind us. All gave some, some gave all. Check back in here with Christopher Rosen in the days ahead, and have a wonderful holiday weekend!
· So you might have heard that Lost went off the air after six seasons. For answers to all your burning questions, turn to Kyle, Mark, Christopher, Lindsay, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Michael Emerson, a bunch of cats... basically anything or anyone who isn't Damon Lindelof or Carlton Cuse.
· American Idol concluded as well with a far more shocking (and woefully underviewed) finale. Louis reviewed the best and the worst of a forgettable year.
· Meanwhile, no one really had an answer for this year's Movieline-predicted Palme d'Or winner at Cannes, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.
· Thanks to our illustrious interviewees, including Rachel Weisz, Ari Graynor, Martin Starr, Cat Deeley, Moment of Truth subject Matt Levy and Verge designee Justin Bartha.
· Despite preeminent hater A.O. Scott's relatively mild pan, Sex and the City 2 is indeed as bad and roundly loathed as you think it is. Liza Minnelli's vocal and fashion misadventures didn't help.
· 50 Cent = 160 lbs.
· Recaps! We got recaps, including the finales of Dancing With the Stars and Celebrity Apprentice, plus Glee, Real Housewives of both NYC and NJ, The Bachelorette, and The Hills.
· We laid down Two-Minute Verdicts for Life As We Know It, Morning Glory, Love Ranch, Going the Distance, Burning Bright and Shanghai.
· Join us in a tender goodbye to Simon Cowell and Tyra Banks.
