Our friends at
Cinematical recently posted that FOX has picked up the rights to create a feature-length version of the BBC/AMC show
Hustle. The original minds behind the series are going to work on the film, so that's good news. This is nice and all (
Hustle really is a fantastic program), but each episode already runs over an hour. I hope they figure out something really exciting to do, because I'm not sure I'd be willing to fork over $10 to
just watch what is essentially an extended episode.
Meanwhile, the third season starts June 28 at 10:00 PM EST for the Americans, with a fourth season in the works.

This episode started at an auction house, where a bidding
war over some prized comic book artwork was reaching its climax. It was down to two gentlemen, who brought the price up
to £100,000. Ash, disguised in some cool glasses and a little facial hair, jumped in at the last minute and
offered £110,000. The two other gentlemen looked crushed as the auctioneer finally banged his gavel. The team

artwork?

On tonight's episode, Kanye West won... oh crap. Wrong
channel. Hold on... Okay. Tonight's episode of
Lost is called "The Long Con" and is a Sawyer-centric
episode focusing on flashbacks from his life. As always, this recap will be replete with spoilers, but I'm going to
save them all for after the jump.
We start with Locke and Jack discussing the combination to the guns and
drugs closet. Jack wants the combo, but John is concerned that his asking for the info isn't about trust, but about
backup in case something should happen to Locke. Locke says that Jack should consider locking medicine in there too.
Jack asks why and we cut to Sawyer walking out of the water to talk to Charlie, asking him how it feels to be the new
most hated person on the Island. Charlie retorts that he'd be more concerned with Jack rummaging through Sawyer's
tent. Sawyer runs over to find Jack taking pills back from Sawyer. Sawyer warns him not to do it and gives him a
"This is your last chance" option to leave without taking his stuff but Jack walks off with it and Sawyer
scowls at him as he walks away. First commercial break. More after the jump...
