Throwing in the Curious Case of Benjamin Button @Criterion Blu-ray, it's been a while since I first watched it, let's see how I feel now. #
Seriously ustream, that hover ad for the nytimes thing, is effing obnoxious, stop interrupting the awards ceremonies. #
RT @akstanwyck: variety just broke sundance embargo ahead of real time stream… #
RT @CriterionCast: [Blog Post] 2010 Sundance Film Festival Awards Announced http://bit.ly/cUyJHf #

Alright, now it's onto Larry Fessenden's Last Winter! I haven't seen Whiteout yet, but I bet this one's better. #
@fistfulofmedia I liked Planet Hulk too! I talked about it a bit on the latest podcast. in reply to fistfulofmedia #

Damn, the transfer on this movie looks terrible. #LastWinter #
@fistfulofmedia its the DVD. I might be exaggerating a bit, it just looks really digital. A little harsh. in reply to fistfulofmedia #
@FatboyRoberts so are we going to get Head Baltar and Head Six in Caprica, or some variation of them? in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@fistfulofmedia yeah, that sounds like an appropriate description. in reply to fistfulofmedia #
So, its pretty much a given that Perlman is going to be in the Hobbit right? Who do you think, Beorn? Smaug? #
@DrewAtHitFix if only it could have been a prequel to Gamer. in reply to DrewAtHitFix #
Wait, guys, I think you need to say "skidoo" a few more times to meet your quota. #LastWinter #
Oh man, that crazy giant moose monster / hallucination made watching this whole movie worth it. And it's not over yet! #LastWinter #
Well, Last Winter definitely runs with an interesting concept. I wish there were more monsters in it, but it was watchable. #
To help me fall asleep, I'm throwing in The Fountain Blu-ray, not that it makes me sleepy, but I just love the dreams it will create… #
