Okay. They said "Word got out today from a fan who resides in Hawaii . . . that the LOST crew was filming at a church. . . ." Which church, blast it?? Which church?? If I knew which one, I might try to go watch. But for a small island we have just big bunches of churches, and unless I know which one, I'll never find them filming it!

SangChaud | October 11, 14:40 CET

I was wondering what you might have to say about this, SangChaud. I tried to Google a bit to see if there was any more info around, but I couldn't find any. I would also guess that it probably doesn't take them more than a day to shoot a few scenes, they've probably moved on. Sorry. :-(

billz | October 11, 14:44 CET

Hey, billz! Thanks for the effort and for the link. I was joshing (yeah, I know, I couldn't resist) a little bit. It would have been fun, but I kinda figured by the time I found out where they were filming they wouldn't be filming there any more. But I still might catch sight of him somehow, even if I can't just take time off work and go trolling. God, that image wasn't very pretty, was it??

I'll try to keep my eyes open whenever I'm driving around, but they mostly film on the other side of the island, so I'm not gonna hold my breath. . . .

Again, thanks for the post and the Google-ing. And if I do manage to catch a glimpse, youse guys will be the first (only) to know!

SangChaud | October 11, 15:29 CET

youse guys

So -- is that a Hawaiian accent, dude? ;-)

billz | October 11, 15:42 CET

You didn't know??? Nah. Just like I enjoy speaking with different accents (probably god-awful but no one will tell me so), I enjoy writing different stuff/voices. Here we use "da kine" a lot. It sort of covers a multitude of sins, and a very loose translation would be "thinggummy" or "whatchamacallit" or "whatshisname" or "whosit."

SangChaud | October 11, 16:22 CET

billz, great link, he-who-I-made-feel-bad-in-a-previous-thread-and-will-forever-hang-my-head-in-shame-humming-Johnny-Cash's-I Hung my Head-in-atonement-for buddy. Also, my daughter calls me "dude", in fact she calls everyone "dude"--I think she's channelling The Big Liebowski.

jaynelovesvera | October 11, 18:18 CET

SangChaud, you brought back memories of an old friend's discription of what he went through when he moved from the Jersey Shore to Hawaii just in time for High School. ...Born in Korea, learned his English in with a strong NJ accent and then was suddenly a teenager in Hawaii looking like he should be local, but certainly not sounding it. Good thing he was a survivor.

Back on topic: As I'm sure you know, usually you can tell a film shoot by the trucks and other equipment near by. If one were keeping one's eyes open for a filming location, noticing the trucks would often be the best clue.

JLV: My son has been calling me "Dude" too. What's the deal? I am so not a dude...

newcj | October 11, 18:37 CET

Remember the toy airplane Kate kept in a box? I thought the guy who gave it to her was her one and only. How wrong was I? But then, there's so much about Kate not known yet; her violence, her tenderness, her manipulation of situations. I'm starting to get nervous for Nathan.

Tonya J | October 11, 19:22 CET

newcj, I don't know. I tried calling her "dude" right back, or "dudette" but it doesn't phase her at all. She even calls her grandmother "dude".

It may have started as a putdown when creepifying guys hit on her--she gets hit on a lot, curse of beauty and all that, although it hasn't gone to her head--but now she uses it for everybody.

jaynelovesvera | October 11, 19:40 CET

For shame, jlv - I'm sure billz will release you from your pennance if you say something funny involving weasels or make a joke wherein the punchline revolves around a superfluous asterisk. I'm really just guessing, though...

zeitgeist | October 11, 19:58 CET

For billz:

A weasel with a bad cold walks into a bar. The bartender says, "What'll it be, Mr. Weasel?"
The weasel says, "Don't call me Mithter Weathel, Jayne. You know my name".
The bartender, prompted to epiphany, says "Oh yeah, Tommy! What'll it be?"
"I want one of them fruity drinkth my bother'th wife liketh tho much. I don't know the name of it. Ith my brother around?"
"Sure. He's in the back room, playin' poker as usual".
"Good, then athk Rick".
"What was that?"
"Quit makin' fun a me, you pr*ck Jayne! I said: Athk Rick!".

Ok I give up. I can't do it, zeitgeist. billz, I guess you'll just have to stay mad.

jaynelovesvera | October 11, 21:47 CET

I don't know, jlv, I think you fulfilled all of zeitgeist's suggestions - in your own unique way, of course ;-).

samatwitch | October 11, 23:07 CET

Thank you, samatwich, you are very kind. Did you hear the one about the witch who walked into a sandwich bar....

jaynelovesvera | October 12, 00:22 CET

Which sandwich bar was samatwitch's, jlv? And thankth for the Thtrangetht. Weathel joke. Ever. As zeitgeist suggested, your penance is all, er, pennanted. ;-)

Nah, no worries, dude, never were, we all have our days. Besides, I'd like to think I'm channeling The Big Lebowski, too. The Dude abides, yo. (and back to the thread -- ) Mahalo. ;-)

billz | October 12, 03:07 CET

Hey, he was calling me dude. My son does, too. But I also answer to "dudette." My son's a surfer who's been exiled from surfing because he is allergic to jellyfish stings and will go into anaphylactic shock if it happens again. Worrying about sharks just about did me in--and then jellyfish on top of them! (What a mental picture. And how far OT can you get??) (Sorry!)

Anyway, will keep my eyes open for signs of trucks, klieg lights & all other da kine. . . .

SangChaud | October 12, 09:20 CET

Hey, SangChaud (and Saje) for that matter! I just turned up the original item, which is more specific about the church and all (great, once this is already off the front page):

Kate Wedding Scene

Found this over at Lost Forum. My take on the "looks like Ethan" is that it could be Nathan Fillion who is rumoured to be in this episode.

"the lost crew was filming in makiki today down the street from my apartment. they were at a church doing what could only be a kate-centric falshback. evangeline was wearing a gorgeous white satin strapless wedding gown and i saw her enter the church while i was waiting at a bus stop adjacent to the church. (she looked at me and smiled! OMG it was awesome, haha). annyways, then she came out and sipped some hot tea while there was a double standing at the alter with a veil over her face but i could not see the groom from where i was. there were only about 12 extras who appeared to be there as present for the wedding. most of them appeared to be in their 60s, there was one young yoman, all of them were white. later when i got back from school there were filming a scene involving a miami dale (i think) cop car with yellow and green details which was parked outside the church. i may be wrong but the cop in the driver's seat sure looked a lot like ethan. i wanted to stick around for more but the real cops were getting annoyed because the group of onlookers was getting larger. but yup, kate has a wedding, it takes place in florida, and there is a cop involved in the ordeal. this totally made my day awesome."

Well, at least I'm thorough. ;-)

billz | October 12, 12:10 CET

billz, in case you tune back in, just wanted to say thanks! And yes, my god, you are thorough! Also sweet.

Anyway, the "makiki" mentioned in the first sentence is a neighborhood that's only 2-3 miles from my neighborhood, and the "reporter" of all this is probably a student at McKinley H.S., which is in Makiki.

Okay, probably TMI. But thanks!

SangChaud | October 13, 11:26 CET

You're welcome! :-)
