Just a quick word on Lost. I'm a Lost nerd (no pun intended), and from what I've seen so far I can safely say that the writers do know where they're going. The Lost plot system is too complex to be just a product of improvisation, no matter how brilliant that improvisation can be.

By the way, another film I'd add to the nerdfotainment list is David Fincher's Se7en.

Cheers,
