Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-04-19

  • I'm at Movie Madness Video (4320 SE Belmont, SE 43rd Ave., Portland). http://4sq.com/8fmLBN #
  • Check it out, the "Ryan as Batman" doll that @ms_charmaine is making: http://twitpic.com/1f0c64 #
  • So Movie Madness didn't have any copies of FotR on Blu-ray left, but I did pick up Two Towers and Return of the King, and the Bakshi 'toon. #
  • We're walking down to @whiffies for some post-bikeride sweets! Then it's time for some HD Tolkien action. #
  • I know this isn't saying anything profound, but what if the gender roles were swapped in last nights SNL skit with Tina Fey and the kid? #
  • I'm at Whiffies Fried Pies (1200 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 12th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/aM8BU #
  • @Vactor Check it out, the "Ryan as Batman" doll that @ms_charmaine is making: http://twitpic.com/1f0c64 #
  • Getting ready to watch Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings on Blu-ray, I am pretty excited right now. #
  • So the picture in this new Blu-ray is much brighter, more colorful. I'm switching back and forth between this and the old DVD. #
  • There do seem to be a lot of little white specks in the picture. Dust? Definitely not perfect. #ralphbakshilordoftherings #
  • @RevGWCSean how many times have you seen it now? in reply to RevGWCSean #
  • I think what's really lacking in the Bakshi Lord of the Rings is the sense of geography that Peter Jackson captured with New Zealand. #
  • Middle Earth was clearly defined in Jacksons Trilogy, whereas in Bakshi's it feels disconnected, and vague. #
  • @FatboyRoberts yes! The score is so much fun, and the voice casting is a lot of fun. Some of the same cast from the BBC Radio production. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • @RevGWCSean did you see it in IMAX 3D? I still haven't seen it, but I hear that's the way to go. in reply to RevGWCSean #
  • I forgot to show off my Zapp Brannigan that I scored from Missing Link. I was hoping for Zoidberg though… http://twitpic.com/1f0wyf #
  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 | Webdesigner Depot http://bit.ly/bWJsoD #
  • @capnleela yeah, I'm definitely going back for more. in reply to capnleela #
  • Eesh, the Balrog design in this is so much lamer than I remembered. #bakshilordoftherings #
  • Make Your Own Sriracha Chili Sauce [Cooking] http://bit.ly/a3oFpR #
  • Here is a more completed Ryan / Batman doll, from @ms_charmaine, with boots and gloves: http://twitpic.com/1f1ajm #
  • In "Oh! You Pretty Things" is David Bowie singing about mutants, when he says "gotta make way for the Homo Superior"? #
  • Dang, I just put in the Two Towers Blu-ray, and I gotta say, extended or not, this movie looks freaking gorgeous. (cont) http://tl.gd/r549h #
  • @MattGoldberg no problem, I just listened to the Clash of the Titans episode today, it was a lot of fun. Will definitely continue listening. in reply to MattGoldberg #
  • @FatboyRoberts I think the EE has some character moments for Smeagol/Gollum that make it better for me. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • @FatboyRoberts I guess if I had to choose between the two in a "which would I want to see in the theater again" I'd pick the theatricals… in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • @FatboyRoberts but being able to watch it at my own pace at home, I just can't get enough. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • @FatboyRoberts yeah, @Rudie_Obias always complains about switching discs, but I love that stuff too. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • This still has to be one of my favorite paintings of Batman ever. http://bit.ly/ac9RJL #
  • @timbuel I first saw it in one of the Batman Black & White collections from the mid-late 90s. Alex Ross ftw. in reply to timbuel #
  • Dudes, Treebeard looks freaking detailed as hell on Blu-ray. #
  • One of my favorite Elseworlds books growing up, was a what if Batman became Green Lantern, In Darkest Knight: http://bit.ly/9Sn0Zw #
  • Knowing that they built everything on that little rock make the helicopter shots swooping around Edoras so artistically rewarding. #

  • Netflix Now Available on the Wii
