anybody catch the leftovers premiere on hbo last night? a small town in the southwest deals with the aftermath of a world wide rapture-like experience. its full of cult-y weirdoes and latter day messiahs. its a co-adaptation between the author of the source material, tom perotta, and damon lindelof of lost infamy, which is a shadow that the show will fall under. already it seems that the central mystery of what happened will never be answered which is sure to frustrate if that is your expectation.

i wasnt completely smitten but it seems like an interesting enough concept to see where its headed if only to be told later that it is ultimately a family drama riven with symbolic intent.

more importantly i just read that the angsty daughter from the family at the center of the drama is andie mcdowell's daughter. upon verifying this fact i came upon this photo verifying that andie mcdowell's genes are well cared for heading into the future. hopefully whoever delivered the xy chromosome brought along some acting ability to add to the mix.
