but there were also parts that had us squirming, if not outright uncomfortable... that perhaps the stereotype-based jokes in Lost were meant as a sort of meta. Hmm yeah... I do see what you're saying. Is it the characters who think those thoughts, or is it really the movie that thinks them? It's definitely problematic on certain levels, the whole "Asia is so inscrutable that it's unknowable" thing.
I found Longest Night listed on Netflix; it's not actually *available* yet but I saved it in my queue :)
