Washington Post Magazine - Question Celebrity�
The television series "Lost," created by J.J. Abrams with Damon Lindelof, reminds many of us of the abuse we suffered from David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" and Chris Carter's "The X-Files"--how we watched those shows beyond all reasonable limits of loyalty, waiting for the deliberately opaque Lynch and Carter to grant their audiences anything in the way of satisfaction, closure, solution. We never got it.
���And so we're drawing the line here, saying "no": no to the complicated plot lines of "Lost" that never budge an inch. No to the ceaseless, layered mysteries that will never be solved. No to the hidden details, objects, phrases and numbers that actually have no meaning whatsoever. No to the picture of Matthew Fox wearing tight pants in the latest GQ. (Well, yes, but no.)

���Tax subsidies for "Lost," "North Shore" and "Hawaii" and other entertainment projects cost the state an estimated $28 million in lost tax revenue last year, according to state calculations.
���At the same time, the film and television industry spent $161 million in the state — including at least $100 million on TV shows — and at its peak employed 700 actors, directors, camera operators and other industry workers.
���Without the added incentives Hawai'i will lose film and TV projects to other areas that offer greater incentives, said Ted Liu, director of the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.
���"I just don't think that policy makers understand the impact that this bill will have in terms of direct benefits for the economy now," Liu said.... Read the rest here
