Check it out! My freshly out of print copy of The Third Man on BluRay arrived today from Amazon! Should I open it? http://twitpic.com/o796s #
@firstshowing we were at the Comic Con panel/screening, and were not impressed. Hopefully they've tweaked it for the better. in reply to firstshowing #
@slashfilm Dude, you gotta do a fresh install. #
@slashfilm gotcha, I finally upgraded to Snow Leopard just recently, it was surprisingly fast. I dragged the folders to an external drive in reply to slashfilm #
Yikes, seeing V again (we saw this pilot at Comic Con), I can see so many more flaws. This show is no where close to BSG. #
@GWCChuck well, I feel like they're trying to copy the success of BSG, by rebooting it. Although the show feels too poorly crafted for me. in reply to GWCChuck #
Alright, no more V for me. I'm in bed, watching Kurosawa's Throne of Blood with the @criterion commentary. I love this MacBeth adaptation. #
@GWCChuck I went into the Comic Con screening with all kinds of hope for V. I just feel like they dropped the ball. in reply to GWCChuck #
This Throne of Blood commentary is interesting: while obviously well read, the speaker comes off as a bit of an ass, but an entertaining one #
Has anyone seen this version of MacBeth with Sam Worthington in it? I think I'm going to make this a MacBeth filled week of movie watching. #
@kevincarr well, once netflix sends it to me, I'll let you know how queasy I get. Although, I am very curious about it. in reply to kevincarr #
@rcjohnso hey Rian, I found that book you wrote http://twitpic.com/o9sw7 #

Just got back from an early screening of The Box. This may be the first Richard Kelly film that I would actually watch more than once. #
@EricDSnider were you just at The Box screening at the Lloyd Center too? in reply to EricDSnider #
@kevincarr I think the weirder it got, the more I liked it. Although I hated Diaz. And the accents were terrible. in reply to kevincarr #
@ebertchicago I agree, I think the more preposterous it got, the more it amped up the weird, the more I liked the movie overall. Except Diaz in reply to ebertchicago #
Also, for all of you NASA geeks, there is a lot to like about The Box. Carl even makes a small appearance. #
@kevincarr It was hilarious how they all had thick accents in the opening scene, and then slowly went in different directions to the end. in reply to kevincarr #
@kevincarr I was starting to think that Marsdens character was trying to drop his accent while he was at work. in reply to kevincarr #
Hey all you UP fans, which documentary did Adrian Warren do that inspired the location in Venezuela? I'm trying to find it. #
Ok I think I found the documentary. The Living Edens: The Lost World Venezuela's Ancient Tepuis. #
@devincf A terrific performance out of Diaz? Yeesh, she was the worst part of the film for me. in reply to devincf #
It would appear that my new go-to movie when I can't decide on what to watch is Casino Royale. Currently watching on Blu-Ray Collecters Ed. #
Was it supposed to feel like there were obviously deleted scenes in The Box? #
Whoever was running the projector at the Lloyd screening of the box, you need to learn to focus, that movie was way too fuzzy. #
I wish that Gofobo would let me rate the screening experience, rather than the actual movie. I get what I pay for. #
Argh! I just scratched too hard on an Amazon gift card, making the code illegible. Help @Amazon! You're my only hope. #
@KarenABorromeo no, I have to mail this card alllll the way back to San Diego from Portland, just so they can send it back to me. Dark ages. in reply to KarenABorromeo #
