Mostly, I write about television, and with this being the home of the Great Buffy Rewatch of 2011, a lot of that television is Joss Whedon-related (when it's not about Lost). Stick around if you love Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Sherlock, Lost, BtVS, Doctor Who, or anything on HBO.

Here It Comes...
Get your tissues ready, and prepare for the goosebumps. It's theblackbox's trailer for the series finale. Amazing, amazing, work... thank you so much for sending it to me!!!
Honestly, this was good, but not great (I will be in a minority here). A nice trip down memory lane with big symphonic music in the background. A recapitulation of the central role of Jacob and MiB and how the progress of their game has played out with the Losties.
I'd say of these promos the best was the one which ended with Jack saying to Locke, "You like to play games, don't you, John?" followed by the sound of the smoke monster. Now that one was absolutely amazing.
The only thing that even tipped me off that it wasn't official was the changing ABC logos in the corner. Amazing. I think it's safe to say that the creator is a Terry O'Quinn fan :)
I'll have to check out theblackbox's other promos. I feel so behind!
The way Nikki just wrote theblackbox sounded so at home, that I immediately thought it was a site, and I went there. That's not it. Excuse my ignorance as a Newbie, but could somebody please direct me if that IS a website or if it's a person? I'd like to go there but cannot locate theblackbox and Lost anywhere I've been. If there is a website, that's where I want to go.
I’ve watched this about 10-12 times now, each viewing spaced far apart since last night when I first got to see it. The really remarkable thing for me is that, EVERY TIME I get waves of goosebumps, even though I’ve practically got the thing memorized. All of the elements, taken together, add up to perfection. And my socks are still rolling up and down from the majesty and grandeur of the musical score. Bravo, and thank you! (The guys in charge of promos for ABC are hacks in comparison.)
And yes, I would gladly pay for a DVD of the complete works of theblackbox. No doubt. Each and every one of their Season 6 Preparation videos were magnificent, soul-stirring works of art. Can you have more than one masterpiece?
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad :( Beautifully done, though.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome. Does anyone know if he entered ABC's contest for best fan created promo? When I saw the contest I immediately thought of him.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Amazing. I have chills.
ReplyDeleteblackbox, you've outdone yourself! I had goosebumps galore! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding promo....Can't wait to see THE END on May 23rd....Then, I'll be so sad on May 24th.....
ReplyDeleteSeriously...where do they get this music? It's so awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow! Big goosebumps! Fantastic memories

Black Box's promos are so much better than ABC's. I'd like to get a DVD with just their promos. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be a fantastic ending to a fantastic show and then I'm going to be so sad because it IS The End.

ReplyDeleteI found it. And I love the advertisement for Connect Four Million! Too funny!

Bwaa, snifffle. . .. sob, chokedribble.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be better than anything ABC will come up with.
I am a sodden mess.
Thank you Niki and thank you blackbox. (Sorry, I didn't read the tissue warning before watching.)
Celandine
Did you see Damon Lindelof tweeted the link to this today??!! Good job, blackbox!! :)
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, that was probably better than the actual finale will be, if season 6 is any indication...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for it all to start tonight. Oh wait, maybe I can. No I can't. But then it's that much closer to being over!
ReplyDeleteAnd I just noticed that Jack is wearing a white shirt with a black jacket after the crash. Hmmmmm.....
Holy crap. My whole body is one big goosebump right now.
ReplyDeleteholy cow.
