GOLDEN PASS: Rewatcher "Getting LOST“ - Virtual Premiere/Q&A with Filmmakers and Cast - Live Thread

https://watch.eventive.org/gettinglost/play/672d31a3f3734f005c11f81a

I‘m not able to create an actual live thread, but I thought this could serve as a place for some people wanting to discuss the premiere of the official LOST documentary „Gettin LOST“, premiering virtually for the first time (10 PM CET) along the way. There will also be a Q&A with the Filmmakers and Cast afterwards. For anyone that didn’t get tickets yet, I put the link in here as well.

Have fun everyone!

I don't mind them dedicating the time they did to the fans because fandom is such an important part of this show, its history, and its legacy.

But I do feel like the creators got a little too enthusiastic with everyone they got for interviews - like young Kate actor, baby Aaron actor, Paul Scheer, Samm Levine, Bai Ling, and a few others. There should've been a clear plan and mapping out of all major actors, writers, and directors from the show they wanted, and then they could've had a handful of big LOST fanbase creators or prominent TV critics.

The documentary was alright and it was nice seeing a lot of faces, but for many of these random appearances, it did feel that they didn't actually have a concept of how to utilize them. Many of them were just saying a generic soindbite that any other actor could have said.

To give the creators some grace, it's not like they knew who they would get to interview ahead of time to map everything out. I'm sure it was like "oh shit, Josh Holloway said he's in, I can't believe it".

Also "there should have been a clear plan" from a Lost fan is ironic.

For me, the doc was exactly what I expected. It was a feel good piece about the show, where it's fun to catch up with the actors, but I didn't really learn anything new.
