Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-25

  • The Hangover is the most deserved win of the night. #
  • If you think 500 Days of Summer was funnier than The Hangover, you need to get your funny bone checked out. #
  • @steviespin well, then the Hangover wins using that criterion also. in reply to steviespin #
  • Alright, enough of these Golden Globes, time to continue with the LOST re-watch-a-thon, and finish my Che review. #
  • Damn, its so cathartic when Sawyer smashes Pickets head into the fish biscuit button, electrocuting him. #
  • Thinking Inglourious Basterds would win is like voting for Ralph Nader. #
  • @FyodorFish Those sound about right to me. in reply to FyodorFish #
  • Digesting the awards a little bit more, I'd say that Michael Giacchino's Award for Up's score was really the most deserved of the evening. #
  • I can't believe Mac fell for the old Wookie Prisoner Gag. I also swoon everytime Sawyer says that line. #
  • Also, one of the best cameos of Lost is Robin Weigert (Calamity Jane from Deadwood) as Juliet's sister. #
  • I'm so bummed I can't hang out with all you film nerds at Sundance this week. You jerks better be going to SXSW. #
  • I wonder if people will one day think of Season 3 of Lost as it's Empire Strikes Back. #
  • So, what has been your favorite Soderbergh film throughout the years? Which is his most underrated production? (I'm voting for Solaris) #
  • So I finally got to handle a Droid last night. While some of the apps are pretty sweet, I'm still on team iPhone. #
  • Alright, I need some new desktop background images, hivemind, give me your suggestions. #
  • Whatever happened to Isabel, the Sheriff of the Others? She seemed so badass. I don't want her to be dead: http://bit.ly/4ICJD8 #
  • @RadioConelrad that sounds awesome! in reply to RadioConelrad #
  • @DevSatellite333 yeah, she would make a good Romulan. in reply to DevSatellite333 #
  • Alright, this image of the Very Large Array is my new background image for the netbook: http://bit.ly/7MY7Fp #
  • Hey @FoxHomeEnt when can we expect to see Soderbergh's Solaris on Blu-ray? #
  • @DevSatellite333 yeah, you should follow up Contact with a Cosmos marathon! in reply to DevSatellite333 #
  • RT: @TheDrillDown: The Drill Down is with #CoCo ! http://ow.ly/XBCv (we're also with Haiti, Google, Facebook and Roxxy the A.I. sex robot). #
  • RT: @elmayimbe: RT @iesb: I have been personally told by a source close to Guillermo del Toro that it's true Tobey Maguire IS The Hobbit. #
  • @thepretension I love Julie Taymor's Titus it was one of my first DVD purchases back in '00. Taymor's working on a production of The Tempest #
  • RT: @janusfilms: The HOUSE print has landed at the IFC Center and will be screening from 6:20 on. Goodbye HD, hello film grain! #
  • @colliderfrosty What are you most excited about for Sundance? @Rudie_Obias and @foxtotally will be there for @CriterionCast, keep an eye out in reply to colliderfrosty #
  • I'm at Fred Meyer – Hawthorne (3805 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 39th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/o1vWa #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-18

  • I'm at Bye and Bye (1011 NE Alberta St, at NE 11th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/7mEGnr #
  • Dang, Alton Brown just said: if it weren't for the Aztek and Mayans, we wouldn't have the Alien vs Predator movies. I love this guy. #
  • Check out our latest podcast episode, discussing Sword of Doom, with @Devindra from @slashfilmcast: http://bit.ly/77FiTt #
  • @willschiff Great job on that site guys! in reply to willschiff #
  • @willschiff are you guys starting a new podcast? Or continuing once school is done? in reply to willschiff #
  • @devincf when do you fly in? in reply to devincf #
  • RT: @ebertchicago: Eric Rohmer, 89, wise humanist, RIP. One of the founders of the French New Wave. http://j.mp/8OPF8X #
  • Check out the latest episode of @CriterionCast: A discussion of Sword of Doom with @Slashfilmcast's own, @Devindra! http://bit.ly/77FiTt #
  • @moviegeeks haha, I saw IHOP on that Sundance list and I thought the same thing. in reply to moviegeeks #
  • Just made it through about an hour of Rossellini's Rome Open City. I don't think I'm in the right mood for Italian Neo-Realism Tonight… #
  • I'm going to put that on hold while I watch my first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, let's see what all this hoopla is about. #
  • While we're all giving our two cents on a Spider Man reboot, I'll say this, I don't think any of Raimi's Spidey films are all that great. #
  • Sure, Spiderman 2 is a lot of fun at parts, but I never really liked the CG Spidey flying around the city. #
  • However, what I really really don't want, is a back to high school Spiderman movie, they're moving in the wrong direction. #
  • @Devindra I knew I was going to lose some friends with that. in reply to Devindra #
  • Also, I never found any of the Osborne's believable, or their motivations. #
  • @jenyamato Yeah, I'm late to the party. in reply to jenyamato #
  • The only Spiderman I ever really liked was Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. WIth Ice Man and Firestar. and that X-men Episode. #
  • I really liked the episode with Swarm, that super-villain that was made up of bees. #
  • @Vactor are you serious? Magneto and Strykers motivations are absolutely more clear, and more believable that Norman Osborns. in reply to Vactor #
  • @Vactor I would rather watch X3 than Spiderman 1 or 3 any day of the week. in reply to Vactor #
  • When they do this Spiderman reboot, they need to get Kraven the Hunter all up in that. We need a badass villain. #
  • @Vactor Bone is amazing! Are you reading it in color or black and white? in reply to Vactor #
  • @Vactor I've tried rewatching Spiderman 3 a couple of times, and I can't make it all the way through. in reply to Vactor #
  • @Vactor I didn't defend any of the story telling elements, just the technical aspects. in reply to Vactor #
  • @Vactor in case this means anything, I do own all three Spider-Man films, even a 3 disc Target Edition of Spidey 3. in reply to Vactor #
  • Instead of reacting so negatively to my Spider-Man thoughts, why not bring up substantial points of defense? #
  • @Vactor it was to everyone, but sure Justin, go for it, convince me these are amazing cinema. in reply to Vactor #
  • @Vactor they're not Blu-ray discs, you may not want them 😉 in reply to Vactor #
  • @FatboyRoberts I think that's still out of the question, really out of the question. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • Hopefully, in the reboot, we'll get an uber-nerdy Peter Parker who builds his own web shooters. #
  • Will the Spider-Man reboot be in 3D? With webs shooting all up in our faces? #
  • @FatboyRoberts It would be sweet if the Avengers movie could have the Civil War stuff, possibly in a sequel? With Spider-Man and all… in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • @foxtotally hmmm, I think I would want Clancy Brown to voice Thanos. in reply to foxtotally #
  • RT @foxtotally: How's about pooling every Marvel movie character made thus far and doing an Infinity Gauntlet flick? #
  • @foxtotally doesn't Thanos kill off half of the Earth to please Death in Infinity Gauntlet? in reply to foxtotally #
  • How about we get some sweet Valiant movies? Like XO Manowar, Turok, Magnus Robot Fighter, Solaris, Harbinger, Rai, Bloodshot…. #
  • I don't remember, was Kraven ever considered as a villain for the Spider-Man films? Bruce Campbell would have made an awesome Hunter #
  • @rickchung I think they could make it work, a variation of an insane hunter dressed in animal skins. in reply to rickchung #
  • I really think I should have watched this Evangelion show about 15 years ago. I love the concept, but this dialogue is killing me. #
  • @sepinwall can we blame V for Juliet's death? in reply to sepinwall #
  • @Vactor I'm really going to try and rewatch the films for you, but my stack of films I need to write up for the blog is starting to worry me in reply to Vactor #
  • @Vactor once you've finished Bone, be sure to read the Charles Vess illustrated book: Rose. in reply to Vactor #
  • All this talk of Spider-Man got me reminiscing about the whole Marvel 2099 launch. I loved those damned foil-covers. #
  • @Vactor @Matt_Grigsby I loved his retractable finger talons, I used to imagine I had them when I would think about scaling walls. #
  • @foxtotally is that when Doom traveled forward in time? in reply to foxtotally #
  • @foxtotally I think some of my favorite foil covers of olde have to be those Shadowhawk #1's, I know you're a fan. in reply to foxtotally #
  • Alright all you real comic nerds: what was your favorite gimicky comic book cover of the early 90s? #
  • @ElisabethRappe is that when he got his adamantium ripped out? in reply to ElisabethRappe #
  • A couple favorite gimicky covers that come to mind: all the variant covers of Gen 13 and Wetworks, I don't think I ever got them all. #
  • @landon_speak I was a huge Wild C.A.T.s fan too! I used to own this amazing holo-foil poster that I had framed in my room. in reply to landon_speak #
  • One final thought before bed: why are English Muffins essentially inedible when cold, but absolutely delicious when toasted? #
  • @RoboSexual Yeah, thats a good one too! http://bit.ly/832KUQ in reply to RoboSexual #
  • @landon_speak yeah, I thought that cartoon kinda sucked, it didn't capture the awesomeness that were @jimlee00's amazing illustrations. in reply to landon_speak #
  • @landon_speak I actually dressed up as Grifter for Halloween once back in 92 or 93. I made his mask out of a red bandana and a sharpie. in reply to landon_speak #
  • @landon_speak did you read the X-men/WildCATS crossover books? Those were a lot of fun, each with incredible art. in reply to landon_speak #
  • Man, why does Europe get all of my childhood cartoons on DVD? MASK, Dino Riders, Visionaries, I want those! #
  • RT: @moviegeeks: Anyone heading to Sundance and still need a place to stay? #
  • RT: @Vactor: RT @CBR: DC Announces New Justice League Series http://bit.ly/8g2yQQ #
  • I'm at Back to Eden Bakery Boutique (2217 NE Alberta St, NE 23rd Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/6EiDNG #

  • @janessapk was that you working tonight? in reply to janessapk #
  • @janessapk we came in right before you closed! We got coffee and cheesecake and soft serve and the cupcake! All were freaking delicious! in reply to janessapk #
  • Just answered a few questions over on our FormSpring page, keep the questions coming! http://www.formspring.me/criterioncast #
  • Great questions everyone! I have a feeling this is going to be yet another time vampire in my life. http://www.formspring.me/criterioncast #
  • @TrakovskyFilm if I don't talk about your film on this upcoming episode, it will certainly be the following one, I love it! in reply to TrakovskyFilm #
  • @TrakovskyFilm if you can get it here to Portland, I'll do my best to fill the theater. in reply to TrakovskyFilm #

  • My pareidolia is working on overdrive today: almost every book I process is underlined! #
  • Down at the Lloyd Center, in line for the Book of Eli adv. screening. There's already a crap-ton of people here, how early do they get here? #
  • On the bus, on my way home. #
  • About to watch Book of Eli #
  • @RadioConelrad get off my lawn! in reply to RadioConelrad #
  • Oh man, I can't wait to have a spoilery talk about Book of Eli. I won't spoil it here on Twitter. I'll say this: did KFC sponsor this movie? #
  • @willschiff I didn't love it, but the ending was worthy of Shyamalan. in reply to willschiff #
  • @willschiff having made it to the end of the movie, I now want to see it again. in reply to willschiff #
  • @devincf totally. I could have also done without McDowell's wacky hair. in reply to devincf #
  • I have so many open hold slots at the library, time to dive into the Halliwells guide, to find movies I haven't watched. #
  • @gmanreviews it was the Road, the Postman, Mad Max, Waterworld, with a dash of 300. in reply to gmanreviews #
  • @ElisabethRappe however derivative it was, by the time the ending hit, I suddenly became way more interested, & actually want watch again. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
  • @ElisabethRappe I also want to compare it to a certain Japanese swordsman, without actually naming it, thus spoiling it. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
  • @ElisabethRappe I thought it was going to be more preachy. It was pretty shallow though. I doubt if I see it again, I'll pay full price. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
  • @ElisabethRappe I mostly want to see it again to see where they seed clues towards the twist. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
  • I am such a procrastinator. I have all week to watch this, but I am now finally re-watching Haxan with the commentary. I love this job. #
  • Haxan plays almost like a comedy. #
  • @FyodorFish I'll definitely check it out, I was surprised by how un-offended I was, with all my atheistic ideals. in reply to FyodorFish #
  • @FyodorFish yeah, although that "library" was a little too clean for the world set up. in reply to FyodorFish #
  • Did anyone get a "Children of Men" flashback towards the end of Eli? #
  • @ElisabethRappe @FyodorFish but, maybe wasn't completely *spoiler* throughout the movie, but was going *spoiler* #
  • Do you love Andrei Tarkovsky? Be sure to follow @TrakovskyFilm and check out his amazing documentary: http://www.trakovskyfilm.com/ #FF #

  • Locke's sweat lodge dream at the beginning of Season 3 is so good. #
  • Interesting JJ Abrams / Lost / Cloverfield connection: Chris Mulkey was Mike at Locke's commune, and the military dude in Cloverfield. #

  • @elguapo1 I just saw Suburban Commando for $3 at Big Lots. A classic. in reply to elguapo1 #
  • I think the music and sound effects are the real stars of the Lost pilot. #
  • I remember one night, I couldn't sleep, probably due to coffee, and all I could think of was what I would do if I was a part of LOST. #
  • I was mostly going over in my head, how to structure a society, how to organize the roles and responsibilities. #

  • The reveal of Lockes situation in Walkabout is truly one of the best moments of television. #
  • @jenyamato That was my favorite movie too. When I finally traveled to Athens, I had that movie in my head. in reply to jenyamato #
  • I wonder if the woman on the phone's name is really Helen, or if Locke is just that nuts. #
  • So, why does Charlie say: "I don't swim, I don't swim" when Boone goes out to save the drowning woman, when he clearly does in S3? #
  • About to live stream @foxtotally's thoughts on Avatar, which he just saw for the first time! http://criterioncast.com/live #

  • @devincf how much Deadwood did you watch? It got really good towards the end. in reply to devincf #
  • The best flashback episodes of Lost? Easily Sayid's. I remember being so excited each time we got more back story for him. #
  • It is certainly amazing how well they can turn Hawaii into anywhere in the world, even Iraq. #
  • @Devindra Yeah, that episode is amazing too. Re-watching season one is a real joy. in reply to Devindra #

  • @mattsinger @alisonwillmore great episode this week. You didn't mention Harry Osbornes amnesia in Spidey 3, & Solaris, crazy dopplegangers! in reply to mattsinger #
  • Continuing our re-watch of Lost Season 1. It's funny that Boone knows what a red shirt is (in Star Trek) but says "the guy with pointy ears" #
  • @StarBlush Ah, good point. in reply to StarBlush #
  • @mattsinger I really enjoyed Jeremy Davies in Soderberghs Solaris, his doppleganger moment at the end was fantastic. in reply to mattsinger #
  • @Devindra before starting this Lost rewatch, I was seriously considering a BSG rewatch. in reply to Devindra #
  • Working on formatting the next installment of @Criterion additions to Netflix. As much as I love these columns, they will be the death of me #
  • Damn, the new Bridgeport Hop Czar Imperial IPA is freaking delicious. Thanks Hawthorne Fred Meyer, your ale selection rules. #
  • I think two IPA's should be enough to cure this cold of mine, right? #
  • Hey @ipowerhosting, whats up with our site? Server issues? #
  • Where's My Goddamn Gotham Central TV Show? http://io9.com/5442733/ #rant #batman #
  • The covers for the individual films in the Rossellini War Trilogy box set are beautiful! I love the fabric texture. I can't wait to dive in. #
  • So, how long do I get to play the whole: "I'm sick, I'm allowed to be grumpy," card? #
  • So, the Che box art that I'm not fond of is actually not a problem, since each movie is individually packaged with different covers within. #
  • So Soderbergh, where is your commentary track on this director approved edition? I want to hear your thoughts on it! #
  • @moviegeeks excellent, I love those Fused Film folks! in reply to moviegeeks #
  • I wish my body would develop some sort of adaptation to sneezing, to where it wouldn't leave my throat all raw, and my nose all dried out. #
  • @screenrant I second that notion. Whenever we're recording the podcast, I feel so alienated when my cohosts start geeking out over sports. in reply to screenrant #
  • Fav aspect to Sword of Doom has to be the high contrast; the deep blacks & bright whites, it's like watching comic panels brought to life. #
  • @rejects the answer is yes. in reply to rejects #
  • @Brotodeau this movie is absolutely gorgeous. Nakadai's performance is so intense. in reply to Brotodeau #
  • @colliderfrosty does anyone archive the originals? To call her on it? in reply to colliderfrosty #
  • I think my next @Criterion Blu-ray purchase is going to be Wim Wenders Wings of Desire. #
  • @bryan_baca it was heavily hinted at in that New Years image, so it's safe to say that it'll be here in 2010. in reply to bryan_baca #
  • Every episode of Season 1 of Lost brings the awesome. When Sun reveals her english to everyone after the boat burns, so heartbreaking. #

  • @moiseschiu gotcha, I wasn't really hot on the orange cover for Che, but I like the two individual cover art. in reply to moiseschiu #

  • @slashfilm Are you guys driving from SF to LA? #
  • @slashfilm Are you taking the coast or going down the 5? in reply to slashfilm #
  • @slashfilm I love taking the coast when it's not all grey and rainy, it just takes freaking forever. The 5 is just so damned boring. in reply to slashfilm #
  • @Laremy when are you getting in? I think Rudie and Travis are flying in Wednesday, and taking the shuttle from Salt Lake to Park City. in reply to Laremy #
