Who could possibly want to read/write/talk about movies on a day like this? It’s the day after the Lost Season 5 finale (aka “The Incident”), and that is the topic everyone’s searching, researching and discussing on the web this afternoon. So, we might as well join in the fun by devoting today’s list to that beloved yet frustrating TV show. Of course, we have to keep things at least relevant to the movies, this being a film blog and all, but it’s not really that difficult to do so.

Series exec producer Michael Patrick King will direct his own script. Send your best “Get it? They’re OLD!” jokes to karina AT spout.com.

MGM will debut the feature A Dog’s Breakfast, starring Stargate SG-1’s David Hewlett, on iTunes and Amazon’s Unbox. The film was apparently set for a straight-to-DVD release, before an outpouring of fan support for a YouTube trailer convinced the studio to give the online release a try.

At a press conference in Italy, Spike Lee spits out two not-particularly-incendiary sentences about the lack of representation of black soldiers in Hollywood war films; Variety runs the write-up with the headline, “Spike Lee Attacks Hollywood Films.” A clever attempt to enrage the “Hollywood has been trashing American values since the death of John Wayne” crowd right in time for Independence Day, but it looks like Libertas didn’t bite.
