@Capcom:
Yes, I did notice the rose...in Rosicrucianism, it denotes the "blood of sacrifice." It can also denote the heart or "where your treasure lies."
IDK, maybe some relevance?

2009-08-11T20:48:03.654-04:00

Cap..Alls I can say is,,I have a print of DC&PB that was Gifted to me by Paul, simply because I was interactive at his websight,,So , standing around and watching,,will get you just that,standing around and watching. The key to this ARG may lay in being active at Pauls sight. And I swear, If the RMA sight ever opens to interactiveness..It will suffer terriblely.

What I am saying is..Write Your own script to this ARG. Go to Pauls DC&PB site and post.. post like you are talking to him face to face, hes a comedian, so post your sense of humor, let yourself loose at his site. have a ball. One warning tho..no jokes about Britney Spears..I laid a few down at pauls site and they got edited out faster than Britney ..you remember her rite, Britney Spears..anyway, faster than britney cut all her hair off.so becareful of celebirty bashing.

Again.. one has to realize that there is infinite Alternate Realities,, not just one. so, its like,, every one has their own Alternate Reality..Our duty is..to express each of ours. There by ,,we create " art". We all become " artists". Imagination and reality become one,,unified. If you have access,, it seems to me that is the message of the three sneak peak videos they showed at Comix Con.

Im saying I smell ARG all over this DC&PG,,and as posted above..this one is like no other. The challenge is not in what you think...but in HOW you think..kind regards..MEL

2009-08-11T19:23:14.587-04:00

Right Mel, the "alternate reality" this time is just the imaginary trek that Scheer is on with his painting and troubles therein, that we get to witness and possibly participate in to a degree, if we get to snoop around a website or something.

Too funny Thin. I would guess that it was Hoodlum's financial problems last year that were most of the problem. But ABC has some deeper pockets than they did, for this year. For ABC, it's probably the same amount of promotional money to either put up bunches of billboards nationwide and create fancy mixed media ads, or to play some shenanigans with an actor, some home movies, and a fake website. Heheh.

2009-08-11T18:36:48.238-04:00

I thought the "Dharma Wants You" ARG was cancelled by abc because of money issues. What would prompt abc to begin a new ARG now? Did the network get some of the baillout money or did Hans strike it rich with the 'cash for Dubai clunkers' program ?

2009-08-11T18:12:11.141-04:00

Well I agree that the 4th wall was never there on this one. The second paul stepped out of the audience,,the wall disappeared..But hold on here,,there is still mystery (as there should be)..what is this Ronie Mildew Farts and its Alexandra and her adamant " This Will NOT HAPPEN!!" Obviously a negative force to pauls forward dreams. I suspect,,more than just watching,,will be expected from us. Inother words..by bailing out on this ARG,,you have already given up..acquiessed to the,, " This Will Not Happen"..C'mon! rise to the challenge!! There is beauty in the metaphor and IT CAN BE YOURS!! Hows that for an Alternate reality.?...kind regards...MEL

I wonder if the three pictures will be on Paul's site or whether we will need to find them on the web ot in real life, like the glyph hunt.

Glad your enjoying it thin, I'm off to bed now, see you all tomorrow.

2009-08-11T15:31:05.391-04:00

I'd say that the 4th wall never even existed in this hiatus fun. The audience has been addressed personally and directly from Scheer about the show from the start, with no imaginary realm or aspect whatsoever. Same with Lost-U, once the show is addressed directly, crossover contact with the audience has been breached. IMHO. :-)

Some have wondered if the rose also alludes to Rosicrucion aspects, and I'm wondering if Ellen has noticed anything like that with her prior experience. :-o

2009-08-11T15:27:25.257-04:00

I agree scoutpost. I don't mind spending time looking for clues if they're there to find. But if they're not, I'll just follow along at my leisure.

It is something fun to follow until season 6 starts.

2009-08-11T14:51:47.240-04:00

Well I know that if it were confirmed an ARG, that that would break the rules so to speak...what is it? breaking through the 4th wall..or something like that. If this is all just for fun then that is ok with me too. I'm all for a fun distraction until January. I just hoped for a little clarification because I don't want to stay up until 1:08am waiting for a video, or spend lots of time trying to figure out the significance of jpg labels if there's nothing cryptic to them. Nor do I want to wait up until midnight Saturday if all Paul's going to do is post pictures of his new art. No offense Paul, if you ever read this ;). If it's all for fun, just going along with what's posted, then I can wait until the sun is up and I've had my caffeine before I see what Paul has been up to. just sayin' :)

2009-08-11T14:47:40.061-04:00

BSwan..The Egyptologist is like no other book you've read,,except,,if you have read the original Dracula. Its in that style,the " epistolary " style. Its as dark if not darker, as LOST and hilarious at the same time. If one understands that its about dreams and imagination becoming real,,from the beginning, then it unfolds beautifully. Again..like LOST. Creating ones future, fro.m what we find in our unencumbered Imagination,,is the surreal "path" to a unified person.

I can already see,, paul sheer as the paul cauldwell character. This Seth prank,,speaks to a bit darker side of our " Joker" fool....MEL

2009-08-11T14:45:57.342-04:00

So are going to be getting 3 new works of velvet art then?

Also looks like Paul's blog is going to used for spoiler tidbits...to keep us enticed for S6!

I read this earlier today but it sounded like it was in the category of casting spoiler so didn't say anything.

But this update doesn't say anything one way or the other and seems totally unrelated to the plot, apart from what is at the end of the post :

"BTW: Thanks for watching my video, all this excitement has really inspired me, I painted 3 new pieces last night. Can’t wait for Saturday Night at MIDNIGHT"

2009-08-11T14:06:57.784-04:00

Yep, maven.. you and I were thinking the same lines. That's right, you have a more personal identification with Paul and his fan art! LOL!

Mel, that book sounds really interesting (I might have to check that one out). And I totally agree that we will see a unification of sorts in the end. And the Losties have to all get together again in one "timeline" because the Island still needs them!!

2009-08-11T13:37:49.833-04:00

,,My personal coincidence is that I finished reading Arthur Phillips'es " The Egypyologist" just a few weeks ago..which is all about turning ones dreams,, Imagination,,into reality..or as the Surrealists put it.. Unifying a mans internal world and a mans external world ,,into a 3rd reality,,a one reality, tyhe Surreal.. Paul kinda did that in his video, don't ya think?. Now..I suspect, that is what we can expect in season 6. Instead of conflict,, rather a unification of sorts...MEL

2009-08-11T13:21:13.916-04:00

Yes, BS, I think you've got it down right. Anyone of us would be "acting" like Paul if we got half a chance! LOL

When I made my Lost quilt I was worried about copyright infringement of the images (of course, it's for personal use and I will never sell it). I thought ABC and/or TPTB would come after me! So I really identify with Paul and his fan art!

2009-08-11T12:49:11.399-04:00

I love the way you're thinking, Mel. It reminds me of what I wrote last night in my thoughts of this whole thing, including the facts and ideas that maven brought up.. that this year it's been all about 'fan appreciation'. I didn't take the videos shown at comic-con showing the 'happy' alternate endings for Hurley and Kate, etc. as literal either. I think they are joking about any happy endings and warning us that it won't be all happy endings for our Losties, because Lost is about Life and it has equal shares of joy and tragedy. Here's my thoughts I wrote out last night right after watching Paul's video again:

The more I think of this Paul Sheer video that we got today, the more I think it's TPTB making a funny statement about us rabid Lost Fans.

1) Paul is obviously a rabid fan.. has his own 'Lost' blog, going to comic-con, creating Lost "Art" and even has a Mr. Clucks cup in his car.

2) He is delusional about his creation (his painting), calling it 'awesome' and saying that Damon and Carlton loved it. He just can't believe they would throw it out! Now, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings here, but how many of us would think ANY velvet painting would be 'awesome' enough to think of hanging it in anyplace other than maybe in our basement furnace room?! I'd like to see hands here.... LOL! He fantasizes about his "theory" that Darlton will welcome him with open arms and even ask him to help with the scripts of Lost (once they realize Paul put his fan-fiction on the back of the painting.. LOL) We rabid fans have been known to think our Lost theories and creations are spot-on true and wonderful (or maybe even better than the show itself) and worthy of praise by all, right?

3) In typical rabid-fan style, Paul will do anything, including faking his way in, to get an audience with Darlton. I envision similar things maybe happening in Hawaii with fans trying to see the actual shooting of the episodes (and who knows? maybe going through the trash) so they can report back to us the juicy spoilers they've found.

4) Paul is so engrossed in the map he made and so excited about being there, that he doesn't even realize that he's in front of the office building that he's looking for and totally misses the fact that Carlton runs right into him and Damon walks right by him talking on his cell phone. That's a bit like not seeing the forest for the trees. Are they subtly accusing us fans of that? It also reminds me of the idea that when it's all over, we'll all be saying 'It's been right in front of our eyes the whole time.' LOL!

5) He's such a rabid fan that he even knows which day of the week the trash goes out.. lol!

6) The things that he does find in the trash bin are, well.. they are trash!

I was being really skeptical last night that this was even an ARG, so it's interesting that we're finding out it will be. Maybe they are telling us we need to look at the bigger picture and not get so bogged down in riddles this time??
