- It looks like I'm going to be on The @goldenbriefcase podcast tomorrow night with @kevincarr for a Lost series recap, tune in live! #
- Driving home last night, it was hard not to check Twitter, so I managed to go through all my Google Reader stories on my phone. #
- I have several thoughts on the end of Lost, but I need to re-watch the finale, since we were up until 2am watching it, and I was exhausted. #
- So if you want to hear me dissect the finale, tune into the Golden Briefcase, or we'll most likely record a CriterionCast bonus episode also #
- Tonight is going to be the busiest night ever, I have dozens of stories to post on CriterionCast.com, plus re-watching the Lost finale. #

- @MediaBreak he is also on Twitter: @CriterionRefs and @DavidBlakeslee, an awesome guy, and big @Criterion fan. in reply to MediaBreak #

- People I would like to see pick up the Hobbit, now that Guillermo is leaving: Neil Marshall, Tarsem, Steven Soderbergh, or Alfonso Cuaron. #
- Also, Guillermo, now that you're free, get that Criterion edition of Cronos finished, and get to work on At The Mountains of Madness. #
- Ok, since it has to be in 3D, lets start the Jean Pierre Jeunet for The Hobbit campaign! #
- Also, if Jeunet took over for Guillermo, we still might get Ron Perlman as Beorn. #
- Some other directors I wouldn't mind to see direct the Hobbit: someone from Pixar, Julie Taymor, Cronenberg, or Robert Rodriguez. #
- Yes! Danny Boyle for the Hobbit. RT @RadioConelrad: This might be a wacky idea, but what about Danny Boyle? #
