We had friends over to watch the series finale of Lost, and while it's been a good six seasons, we have no idea what just happened. Questions were answered, but equally as many new questions have presented themselves. Guess it's open to interpretation so people can form their own conclusions and make of it what they want. I personally don't like these kinds of endings. So many other shows get canceled and you are left hanging without resolution, and these guys had six years to wrap it all up, and they didn't.
We also went to see Date Night, which was surprisingly good and quite funny in a more sarcastic/adult way. Tomorrow, we're going to go see Prince of Persia, so hopefully that won't be a disappointment like most game movie adaptations.

It seems Kevin Costner is getting the last laugh after the "Waterworld" movie fiasco, although the movie didn't do too badly overall. In the movie, Costner's character was working on a machine to purify ocean water. In real life, Costner used millions of his own money and worked with his scientist brother to develop ships that use
"Ocean Therapy" to remove oil from ocean water. Now BP is testing six prototypes in hopes of cleaning up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
