Working on my Top Ten Criterion Covers. I wish it were easier to find the artists behind some of these covers. #
@ThomasSpurlin oh just you wait, you'll be quite pleased where that lands. I have my list on the Auteurs, but I changed it up a bit. in reply to ThomasSpurlin #
@landon_speak I'll be there! I fly back to Portland at 7pm that night, but I'm planning on attending the screening. in reply to landon_speak #
@landon_speak that was the first film I had on my list of must sees! http://bit.ly/bCjlEp in reply to landon_speak #
Oh man, I just finally found a resource to help source the artists of my Top Ten Criterion Covers. I think I just pushed my deadline back. #
@landon_speak cool man, maybe I'll be tagging along with you. This is my first year. in reply to landon_speak #

Is anyone else getting these Facebook Password reset e-mails? Phishing? #
Just took advantage of the $10 Entertainment Weekly subscription from Amazon. Thanks to @slashfilm for the heads up. Such a deal. #
RT: @RebFef: RT @TheWrap: TheWrap is looking for a blogger-reporter for SXSW (March 12-20) – http://ow.ly/1d0eA, email info@thewrap.com #
Damn, going to miss some while at the grocery store. RT @Laremy: I am chatting live right about NOW! http://www.slashfilm.com/live/ #
I'm at Fred Meyer (3030 NE Weidler St, at NE 28th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/8CYkbq #
Fred Meyer is having a $9.99 Blu-ray sale on some discs, I'm picking up Kung-Fu Hustle and Dracula. http://twitpic.com/164syq #

Oh man, Blu-ray fail, why would you automatically play with the english dub? Give me my uncompressed cantonese! #
RT @Massawyrm: Avatar's film is 10.1 miles long laid end to end. And there are two of those reels – 10.1 miles for each eye! #
Finally getting to watch "The War of the Stars: A New Hope Grindhoused." I'm expecting greatness from this fan edit! #
Opens with a new crawl, perhaps from one of the original drafts? #
Black and white footage of Luke, looking up at the Death Star / Tantive fight in orbit of Tattooine. #
Sweet! We get R2D2 subtitles! #
Awesome! Blood splatter amidst the rebels vs. stormtroopers! #
Deleted footage of Biggs and Camie and the others. #
They're using alternate dialoge from other James Earl Jones movies as Darth Vader dialogue, occasionally hilarious. #
R2D2 subtitles when shot by the Jawas: "you… … bastards…" #
There is some rocking synth music in place of John Williams score. Definitely enhances the mood. #
C3PO: "Do you think they'll melt us down?" R2D2: "Well … maybe they need gold…." #
Luke is way less whiny when grindhoused. Owen: "…he died about the same time as your father…" Luke: "… [doesn't say anything!!]…" #
Obi Wan: "I don't seem to remember owning a droid…" R2D2: "Obi Wan… It's me!…" #
They've spliced in a scene from Troops! #
Red Glowy Eyed Vader chokes the dude. Tarkin: "Vader, release him" Vader: "Address me as LORD Vader" #
Oh man, they just superimposed Owen and Beru's faces over the Twin Suns, after Luke finds their bodies. #warofthestars #
Obi-wan: "Mos Eisley spaceport, you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy … fucking shithole…". LOL #warofthestars #
Fan edits are so much more rewarding when you've seen the film a thousand times, as well as all this Deleted Magic footage. #warofthestars #
Yes! Greedo speaks english, with an accent! #warofthestars #
Damn, I was really looking foward to some Chewbacca subtitles, after all of the R2 stuff. #warofthestars #
What exactly is the point of having the helmet with the blast shield? Besides training of course… #
Who Are The X-Men? http://io9.com/5483037/ #xmen #
Leia just handed Luke a beer in his X-wing. #warofthestars #
What!?! Vader just made Luke kill Biggs! #warofthestars #
R2D2: "I deserve a medal!" #warofthestars #

Are there any other vegan bloggers headed to Austin for #SXSW next week? Where are you planning on eating/stocking up? #
@macadvocate @scottEweinberg Thanks guys! I'm adding those to my sxsw twitter lists / google maps. #
Recording a podcast is a lot like going on a road trip every week. Sitting in one position, drinking lots of coffee, for hours and hours. #
Also like a road trip: being excited at the beginning, and then slowly growing more anxious, the longer it takes. I love it. #
About to watch a 20th Century Fox film, shot in cinemascope, starring James Mason, about addiction, on Blu-ray. Oh yeah. #
Oh James Mason, seeing you makes me want to re-watch 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth! Gertrude! #
I wish I could check in on Yelp, and it would auto check me in on 4square and Gowalla. Im going to have to pick one for SXSW and stick to it #
Damn, James Mason is on fire! Wait, you can't play football indoors! #
"but you didn't read it all, god stopped Abraham", James Mason: "God was wrong!" I hope I never have to take cortisone. #biggerthanlife #
Alright, moving onto some Terrence Malick Blu-ray action. 7 Minutes in, this movie looks absolutely incredible. #
Hmm, on the Fat Guys at the Movies Oscar Episode, I said something like "Precious sweeps", maybe I was really foreseeing the Spirit Awards. #
We're taking a break from Criterion Blu-rays, to check out this Ricky Gervaise animated podcast everyone's talking about. #
RT @scottEweinberg: All this time I thought PRECIOUS was a LORD OF THE RINGS prequel. Hmph. #
@kirk13 the Elvis DVD is available now, on Amazon and Netflix. in reply to kirk13 #
@kirk13 I watched the first half, it was pretty standard biopic stuff, but it was amazing to see Kurt totally owning the Elvis image. in reply to kirk13 #
@kirk13 spotty how? Like unreadable? There is a moment at the beginning where they're both speaking Ukrainian, and it's not translated. #
@Rudie_Obias there is a link to it in yesterdays shownotes #
@kirk13 I was a little turned around by that too when I watched the DVD, I thought for a second that I'd forgotten to turn the subtitles on. in reply to kirk13 #

What are your favorite games for the iPhone / iPod touch? Under $5. I have some iTunes credits burning a whole in my pocket. #
Is there a reason why the my.SXSW app schedule doesn't go past 10pm for the Film Screenings? #

@RadioConelrad oh wait, it looks like you can't get the Delicious Library iPhone app anymore in reply to RadioConelrad #

@FatboyRoberts I'm sure if you guys apply to get in as press, you could get it. I mean, if we can get in, anyone can. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
I laugh so hard everytime I watch this Burger King commercial, when the king slams the dude into the copier. Why do I find that so funny? #
@FatboyRoberts I finally just deleted all of the BSG commentaries from my podcasts on iTunes the other day, since I have all the DVDs… in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@mbuckbee it doesn't go past ten, is it because I'm on the west coast, it looks like the events are there but the times are wrong. in reply to mbuckbee #

Secret of Kells made me want to rewatch all of Samurai Jack. I love this animation style. It fills out the Best Animated category perfectly. #
It would be an interesting experiment, trying to describe the plot of Secret of Kells, vaguely, and try to make it sound like Avatar. #
I would love to see @Criterion pick up The Secret of Kells as their first animated release. #
Continuing our Oscar marathon with In the Loop. Bring on this awesome swearing I've heard so much about. #
Hey iPhone friends, have any of you shelled out for the Final Fantasy iPhone game that was just released? Is it worth the hefty price? #

So we just watched Whit Stillman's Metropolitan for the first time. I now want to watch Cloverfield to see those types of kids slaughtered. #
@pomoxian I'm not sure exactly. I need to watch it again with commentary, I'm not sure how serious I'm supposed to take it. in reply to pomoxian #
So we really are watching Cloverfield, immediately following Metropolitan. An interesting pairing, especially the editing similarities. #
@adammthos I don't want either. But at least Cloverfield has a believable monster in it. in reply to adammthos #
Well, Cloverfield is still a lot of fun, still holds up. Characters are annoying, but the sound and visuals are so much fun. #
To continue our night o' movies, we're going to (re)watch Sunshine. Charmaine has never seen it, and I'm always down for sci-fi. #
We're supposed to be talking about "upward social mobility" in movies this week on the podcast. I'm thinking about Trading Places #
I can't get over how annoyed I am with Metropolitan. Was it supposed to have this effect on me? #
I think you forgot the tag. RT @ms_charmaine: @brokencosmos Ryan, I didn't know you liked sci-fi?!? #
Aw yeah, Netflix Watch Instantly just added Con Air to their selection: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Con_Air/1154294 #

Ok, I know it's cool to see it happen, but why isn't the viewscreen already polarized before the captain gets to the bridge? #

@DefaultProphet nah, he just uses his wits and his kung fu grip in reply to DefaultProphet #
Oh man, GI Joe Season 1.3 contains one of the best two part-ers in the shows history: Worlds Without End! It's like Days of Future Past. #
Do any animated shows still do the whole alternate universe thing? #
Just added to Netflix Watch Instantly!!! The Guild Season 1 and 2! http://bit.ly/deowa8 #
@thepretension you should come up to Portland, we're going to see the Lost premier in a movie theater! in reply to thepretension #
This two part-er Worlds Without End, is some of the darkest writing seen on the show. They show you a list of dead 'Joes. #
Why is Facebook taking so long to get my tweets? #
Just got the schedule for the 33rd Portland International Film Festival! It looks like a great line-up: http://nwfilm.org/festivals/piff/ #

I love how when the dinosaurs hatch, they're basically full grown right out of the eggs, but miniature versions. #

Holy crap, the bar fight scene from The Traitor Part 1 is amazing, Tomax and Xamot are so ridiculous. #

@ElisabethRappe why bother with ten for best picture, if they can't even do 5 for the rest, lame. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
Couldn't Harry Potter or Where the Wild Things Are have made the visual effects list too? Bam, 5 films, easily. #oscars #
Wait, The Secret of Kells doesn't come out until March 12th in the US? How are we supposed to see it before the awards show? #
@Laremy well, I'm going to secretly find a way to see this film before then. in reply to Laremy #
Is the Six Feet Under box set that's on sale today a slimmed down version of the other one? Or is the image just squished? #
So, if you're planning on picking up the Revanche Blu-ray/DVD on the 16th, I would highly recommend NOT watching the trailer beforehand. #
Psst, everyone, @ElisabethRappe's birthday is tomorrow, so you all better have gotten her something good. Something medieval-y I'd imagine. #

I wish I had a better laboratory to actually test each side by side on the same player at the same time. #

@moiseschiu the Revanche release was great, I just attempted a Blu-ray vs. DVD comparison of the Lionsgate Ran vs Criterion, wasnt impressed in reply to moiseschiu #
@moiseschiu yeah, it looked pretty fuzzy in reply to moiseschiu #
@moiseschiu but they haven't done anything with Mononoke, since its a Miramax title, do you think they'll hang on to it? in reply to moiseschiu #
@moiseschiu I found the interview, making of doc, and short film, a worthy alternative to a commentary track. in reply to moiseschiu #

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. #

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. #

@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. #

@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 #

Dang, Target has the Kodak Zi8 on sale for $149! Luckily they are giving out rain checks… So I will have one before SXSW! #

@getsconed hey we're continuing our Lost re-watch right now too! We're just starting up season 3. in reply to getsconed #
In our running of errands today, I found Kingdom of Heaven Directors Cut Blu-ray for $10 at Walmart, not bad… #
@RadioConelrad I don't think so. I wish it was as packed as the 4 Disc DVD set, with all of the docs but Blu-ray for $10, I couldn't pass it in reply to RadioConelrad #
@timbuel absolutely agree, I've been waiting for this price to drop, and I couldn't pass it up for $10 in reply to timbuel #
@RadioConelrad totally agree on that point. in reply to RadioConelrad #
Dang, a Viking movie spoken in Old Norse? I'm so down. I want to watch that movie right now! Get on it Gibson. #
Hey iPhone and Zi8 friends, have any of you bought this Macro/Wide Angle Magnetic Lens? http://bit.ly/8gDmNf #
@RadioConelrad I want some hope that these supposed Extended Blu-rays will also have the Theatrical Cuts as well, for reference… in reply to RadioConelrad #
@EricDSnider hey Eric, @foxtotally is going to be in your condo at Sundance this week, do you guys want to get drinks this week? Before Weds #
@rejects Are you guys just watching the @Criterion Box Set? #
I don't ask for much, but acknowledgment for hard work would be nice. A thank you here and there, goes a long way. #
Who has the most heartbreaking flashbacks in Lost? Sun? Charlie? #
@pomoxian Thanks to you as well, your blog is an inspiration, your dedication is contagious! in reply to pomoxian #
@pomoxian We will definitely have to have you on one of our upcoming shows, DM me your Email, (gmail if possible – for google docs) in reply to pomoxian #
@rejects There's a nice discussion of Rohmer on this past weeks Slate Culture Gabfest, check it out… in reply to rejects #
Hmmm I guess when considering who has the most heartbreaking flashbacks, who do you most relate to? #
I know I'm late, but easily the best three shows of the past decade: Lost, Battlestar, and The Wire. Hands down, no contest. #
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. #
You know, sometimes I wish there really were dinosaurs on the island. Maybe the smoke monster can manifest as such? #
@jennimiller76 what would your act be? in reply to jennimiller76 #
I love crazy, see into the future, running around the jungle naked, throwing rocks into the sea, Desmond. He's hilarious. #

Ryan Gallagher — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:45:00 +0000

Its still amazing how much of a Charles and Penny Widmore vibe I get from Vikus' wife+her dad. #
@timbuel yeah, you're right. in reply to timbuel #
As much as I love DVDbeaver.com as a resource, they seriously need to work on the look of their site. It's insane. #
@Rudie_Obias yeah, its like if you think about a season of 24, or all of the seasons of 24 put together. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
Hey blip.tv, can we get a standard size / apect ratio going for the thumbnail for the files? So the square images don't get distorted? #
Check out the latest episode of @CriterionCast, where we talk about Ang Lee's The Ice Storm! http://bit.ly/85eqxf #
@timbuel Thanks for the retweet Tim! in reply to timbuel #
So, is Alive in Joburg not available as a bonus feature? Is it a rights issue? #
@slashfilm what part of LA are you looking at? in reply to slashfilm #
@slashfilm Nice, so you'll be down at Golden Apple Comics and Amoeba all the time? Are those close by? My LA geography is a bit screwy. in reply to slashfilm #
@rejects yeah, @Rudie_Obias and @foxtotally will be some new faces. Please be nice to them. Don't let them get in any drunken fights in reply to rejects #
@slashfilm we'll be at Sundance! Well, I wont, but @foxtotally and @Rudie_Obias will be there. They're really excited. @CriterionCast in reply to slashfilm #
@rejects that's what I've heard in reply to rejects #
@rejects @slashfilm We could also get a film blogger Google Wave thread going for Sundance. #
Dude, there is an awesome Octopus in tonight's episode of the Simpsons, go Slimu! #
@moviegeeks how cheap is cheap? Rudie and Travis are planning on commuting from Salt Lake City, they're only going for the first 5 days. in reply to moviegeeks #
Why does the Google Webmaster Tools not see all of the links to one of our pages? But if I google the link, there they are…. #
@moviegeeks are you on google chat? or skype? we can talk details. in reply to moviegeeks #

Holy crap, I am so excited to get the Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings on Blu-ray. http://bit.ly/5j6ea1 thanks to @eveofdoom! #
I'm going to try and re-watch all of LOST before Season 6 starts up. Here I go… #cantwaitforLOSTattheBagdad #
@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. #
Everytime Wordpress issues an update, and I don't backup beforehand, I fear for the worst. WP 2.9.1 is available. #
Finishing up my review of Loren Cass, which is getting a @kino_intl release on DVD tomorrow. #
Check out my review of Chris Fuller's Loren Cass, being released tomorrow by @kino_intl: http://bit.ly/6l7rpP #
Oh Sawyer, even from episode 2, you own this show. Also, however little we see of that polar bear, it still looks fake. #
@timbuel totally agree. The overall production values are so high that they raise even the crappiest of fake animals to an enjoyable level. in reply to timbuel #
@screenrant did you just upgrade to 2.9.1? in reply to screenrant #
@RoboSexual no way, Sawyer is LOST's Han Solo, he totally wins. in reply to RoboSexual #
@getsconed Are you planning on going to the Bagdad for Season 6? in reply to getsconed #
@AtticusSays no, but that would be sweet. I think they were packaged together when originally released on DVD. in reply to AtticusSays #
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 #
Sorry about the loud mic, everyone that joined the live stream, I'm used to my audio always coming in so low. #
Hey Chase, why are there so many transactions still pending? Including my paycheck? Come on already, put that in my account! #
@Massawyrm dude, when I ride my scooter in 32 degree weather, the worst part is my finger tips freezing, even with 2 pairs of gloves! in reply to Massawyrm #
@Massawyrm that sucks man. Time to break out the thermals. in reply to Massawyrm #
@AtticusSays I still enjoy watching those animated versions. Rankin Bass definitely shaped my childhood. The soundtracks are amazing too. in reply to AtticusSays #
@scoutie sometimes it freaks me out, because I think that maybe they aren't calculating the pending items, & that I'm going to be overdrawn in reply to scoutie #
RT: @janusfilms: Our new print of STRAY DOG opens tomorrow at Film Forum! "Ranks with Kurosawa's greatest works," http://bit.ly/8diWlA #
@devincf what did you think of Deadwood? in reply to devincf #
@devincf did you watch Undiscovered Country on DVD or Blu-ray? I found the special effects stood out worse on the blu-ray. in reply to devincf #
@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. #

Alright Trekkers, which season of TNG would you reach for without thinking about it? #
@DannyTRS dang, I wonder how many people will return that with more than one box checked. #
@FyodorFish sweet, thats what I'm going for then. in reply to FyodorFish #
@FyodorFish I've seen em all, but I love catching the reruns on TV, and I want someone to make the decision for me. in reply to FyodorFish #
@FyodorFish whoa! Season 3 is the season that is on in my area at 1am, Evolution is the 1st ep on the 1st disc, & it was on the other night! in reply to FyodorFish #
@Devindra but with Lost, if you cut out some of the episodes, you would miss key plot points, even on the lesser episodes! in reply to Devindra #
So, have some of a Best Buy gift card left, and I'm leaning towards getting an Eclipse box set, to get the tote. Which one should I go for? #
Alright, so I'm going back to Season 3 of TNG, starting with Evolution. I love when Sci-Fi challenges our thoughts on what is intelligence. #
@devincf I used to think that about Ghostbusters 2, it felt like I had dreamt the trailer, since it felt like ages before the movie released in reply to devincf #
@moviegeeks I can't wait to hear about all of your exploits from Travis and Rudie as they tag along with you guys at Sundance. I'm jealous! in reply to moviegeeks #
I love that Best Buy has HD-DVDs available to order on their website for near full price. Is no one monitoring their site? #
Whoa, Chief O'Brien is playing the cello in this Season 3 episode of TNG! I don't remember he played that instrument. #
@getsconed totally, we just bought two pizzas (the Carm. Onion and the Tomato and Basil I think?) last night, and wolfed them both down. in reply to getsconed #

Just added Netflix links for all of the films on the http://criterioncast.com/schedule page, most of which are available on Watch Instantly. #
For those keeping track, I finished Lost season 1 at about 4am last night, we are now on episode 2 of Season 2. I love this re-watch! #
Just submitted my press info for SXSW! Fingers crossed. #
I know I say this about a lot of people, but Mr. Eko is my favorite character on Lost. At least for the moment. #

Everytime I see Charlie's flashback to his youth, when he gets the piano, I think: Young Charlie looks exactly like Anakin Skywalker. #
Does anyone else have problems with their Wordpress Theme, not saving the custom fields if you make changes to them? #
@dukeforrest I'll think about it, I had originally planned to pick Amarcord for that episode. in reply to dukeforrest #
@davechensky I think its because some don't see it as one slot on their list, but then have to choose which (or all) go on their top ten. in reply to davechensky #
@FyodorFish @headgeek666 I think it's technically Crisis on Two Earths, not Infinite. Not to get nerdy or anything… http://bit.ly/7d2SBy in reply to FyodorFish #
For those playing along at home, we just put in Disc 4 of Season 2 of Lost. This stuff just got real. #
Having full day's off to be lazy and re-watch Lost are making this go a lot faster, I should easily be ready for Lost at the Bagdad. #
This Sayid flashback episode has two epic moments: The first appearance of Ben. and a guest appearance by Clancy Brown, the coolest guy ever #

@granulac Goodwill down on SE Grand, they have an excellent selection. in reply to granulac #
@Vactor you know, you can set iTunes to just check your podcasts, and download the new episodes in the background… in reply to Vactor #
@Vactor you should also be able to stream them right from Blip.tv or on our blog, so you don't have to wait for it to download. in reply to Vactor #
For those interested: Best Buy has all 5 seasons of Lost available to purchase for $19.99 per season on DVD, or $35 on Blu-ray! #
I just placed an order for season 5 of Lost on DVD at Best Buy, using remnants of gift cards, I'm excited, it's never been that cheap. #

I am so excited to have access to cable TV for once, to watch the new Venture Bros live tonight! #
@firstshowing man, I have to disagree. I don't think Up in the Air deserves best picture, when put up against everything else in 2009. in reply to firstshowing #
@Instanthunter yeah, I thought it was suprisingly tame. It didn't dig too deep into any of the issues it was addressing. in reply to Instanthunter #
@firstshowing I don't think that would then qualify it to win best picture. If it only spoke to a limited group. in reply to firstshowing #
@firstshowing that's certainly true. However, I don't see that happening. in reply to firstshowing #
@Devindra I meant, it was a small group that would find it a life-changing, engaging, or best film of the year. It was too safe for me. in reply to Devindra #
Whoa, TNT just split screened the ending of Wizard of Oz in one frame, with the beginning of it in the other. The snake was eating it's tail #
@devincf We're watching it too, looking for the suicidal munchkin. in reply to devincf #
@devincf We've also been discussing the budget, and what special effects cost back then. Or matte paintings. in reply to devincf #
@devincf They were showing this earlier too, and as the credits were rolling at the end, they split screened it into the beginning credits. in reply to devincf #
@devincf totally, it looks like they're showing the new transfer, but on my parents crappy tv, it's hard to tell. in reply to devincf #

Dang, every season (well, every "set") of Battlestar Galactica on DVD, only $17.99 on Amazon right now, time to snatch them up! #
I love that Best Buy and Amazon have these dueling sale prices. Well, if you're marking it down to $17.99, then so will we! #
@ebertchicago you should come on @CriterionCast our podcast and talk to @foxtotally who watched every @Criterion film over the past 3 years. #
@ebertchicago What I meant was, if you ever want to chat with someone who has seen all of the @Criterion films, @foxtotally is your man. : #
You have to love a top ten list, where New Moon is positioned strategically at #0. @elguapo1's Top Ten of 2009! http://tinyurl.com/y8bg4×2 #
@rejects are we supposed to guess? Or will you drop some hints? in reply to rejects #
One of my favorite Tarantino long takes, from Jackie Brown. The drive around the block… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2iPbfEEEvM #
@firstshowing thats OUR word, only we can use it! in reply to firstshowing #
Based on everyones snowy traffic horror stories, I overestimated how long this bus ride was going to take. #
@ebertchicago well, Travis (@foxtotally), decided to watch every @Criterion film, and succeeded! Quite a feat, indeed. in reply to ebertchicago #
@GWCChuck Happy Birthday Chuck! Drink a beer for me today! #
Surprisingly, watching the Ice Storm makes me want to give the Hulk another shot. This commentary track is awesome. #
Alright, @Criterion, how about a Blu-ray of The Ice Storm? This movie deserves a high definition transfer, with uncompressed audio. #
Dang, people are tweeting about Limbaugh at like 100 tweets per second. #
Do you want to read some insane ramblings? Check out the latest "Travis Predicts!" @CriterionCast Column http://bit.ly/8LKkGv #
So, all of you lovely friends, telling me to watch Ang Lee's Hulk, you might want to rewatch this again. Eesh. #
@Vactor I signed up for the free Amazon Prime trial before the holidays, and got lots of free shipping! in reply to Vactor #
I second my earlier sentiment: eesh. That Ang Lee Hulk movie is not good. I don't know what movie you all were recommending. eesh! #
We just finished the Hulk and I cannot believe that people think this movie is equal to, or better than the newer iteration. #
I feel like I'm now obligated to rewatch the Leterrier Hulk, since the Ang Lee one is so fresh in my brain, to compare the two. #
@kevincarr There was a moment, when he was fighing the hulk-dogs, where I swear he punched one of them in the crotch. in reply to kevincarr #
@kevincarr I feel like I need to hulk out against all the people telling me that "its not that bad." IT IS THAT BAD! in reply to kevincarr #
I wish I had the time and patience to put together a mash up of all the ridiculous moments in The Hulk. It would be a great youtube clip. #
@foxtotally yeah, I guess it's not technically a conjecture. in reply to foxtotally #
Well, here I go. I know it's late, but I'm putting on Louis Leterrier's Incredible Hulk. #
@Becky_Middleton I've been watching The Ice Storm, and I thought I'd give Ang Lee another shot with The Hulk. in reply to Becky_Middleton #
@Becky_Middleton The Ice Storm is a beautiful film. A great @Criterion release. in reply to Becky_Middleton #
Alright, time for some Star Trek Next Generation before bed. Thanks channel 32! I love my free over the air options. #
@iesb the new IESB beta looks great! in reply to iesb #
Listening to the latest Slashfilmcast After Dark. They list their top 10 of 2009. This bus driver is taking his sweet ass time at each stop. #
@timbuel we should definitely talk sometime, it's apparently taking me freaking forever to get HobbitCast going. in reply to timbuel #
RT: @theauteursdaily: RT @MovieCityNews 1400 British films to be restored many re-released theatrically &on Blu-ray/DVD http://bit.ly/5NMP9j #
@slashfilm Peter, be sure to check out the Museum of Jurassic Technology while you're in LA! in reply to slashfilm #
@colliderfrosty have you tried Disqus? What does Intense Debate have over that? in reply to colliderfrosty #
@thepretension that sir, is a universal fact. The ones in Portland are a mess as well. I blame the clientele. in reply to thepretension #

Heading to Hungry Tiger Too for some new years eats and drinks! See you the year we make contact! #
@DannyTRS wow, we were doing pretty much the same thing 10 years ago! Except no commercial work for me. in reply to DannyTRS #
#10YearsAgo I started taking film classes at Grossmont College. #
#10YearsAgo I was scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins. I was driving a maroon VW Jetta, that failed me constantly. #
#10YearsAgo I ditched school to wait in line to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. I bought the maximum amount of tickets. #
#10YearsAgo I graduated high school, with dreams of one day working for Lucasfilm, or ILM. #
#10YearsAgo I was chatting with people on AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and CollegeClub, the real first social network. #
#10YearsAgo I read every Kurt Vonnegut book I could get my hands on. #
#10YearsAgo I had bleached spiky hair, watched a ton of anime, listened to Howard Stern, and had low self esteem. #
#10YearsAgo I read the Tao of Pooh which seriously changed my outlook on life, on philosophy, on not letting things stress me out. #
#10YearsAgo I went to see the Phantom of the Opera. #
#10YearsAgo I had no idea what I'd be doing in 10 years. I have no idea what I'll be doing ten years from today. #
Check out this amazing Hawaiian 5-o burger from Hungry Tiger Too! http://twitpic.com/w4sc8 #
@Vactor Seven is a movie that changed the way I looked at filmmaking. A fantastic DVD release also, on par with Criterion releases. in reply to Vactor #
@ElisabethRappe and it's all vegan! We live in the best town for vegetarians and vegans. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
@ElisabethRappe agreed, that burger plus two IPAs is quickly putting me to sleep. I don't know of I'm going to make it to midnight. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
Despite being tired from a long day of work, two IPAs and that burger, I am killing it at Trivial Pursuit! #
I'm at Hungry Tiger Too (207 SE 12th Ave, at SE Ash St, Portland). http://4sq.com/4mMPvx #
@GWCChuck it's a boca burger, pineapple, teriyaki sauce, carm. onions, garlic aioli, on focaccia. It is great, and messy as hell. in reply to GWCChuck #
@gwcaudra after I read it though, I tried reading the Te of Piglet, but no matter how many times I tried, I could never finish it. in reply to gwcaudra #
@gwcaudra I've seen Avatar twice, and I want to go again and again and again. in reply to gwcaudra #
What kind of awesome New Years party are we having? An Alton Brown, Good Eats, DVD marathon party. This episode is all about tea! #
@mattsinger if only Roy Scheider was still around to witness first contact. in reply to mattsinger #
@GWCChuck don't be afraid, it will make both your mouth, and your belly, happy campers. in reply to GWCChuck #
@ErikDavis dang, we're on the same wavelength. We're watching Alton Brown DVD's right now. in reply to ErikDavis #
How am I ringing in the New Year? By watching Chris Fuller's Loren Cass. A much more honest, brutal film than anything Larry Clark put out. #
@KarenAElizes I used to group mine in categories, but now I'm all about having them alphabetized. It helps a lot in the searching. in reply to KarenAElizes #
@DefaultProphet film snob 4 life. in reply to DefaultProphet #
Holy crap, @ms_charmaine just found the greatest find on lala. The Batman the Brave and the Bold soundtrack: http://bit.ly/5B2KHA listen!!! #
If you love Batman and Doctor Horrible, you owe it to yourself to listen to this: http://lala.com/znmE #
It's amazing how many TNG plots involve crew falling in love with holodeck creations. #
@DefaultProphet I know, right? in reply to DefaultProphet #
@akstanwyck maybe we'll be seeing him soon with some hairy toes? Maybe down in New Zealand? in reply to akstanwyck #
Alright everyone, I think we've figured out almost all of the movies in that @Criterion drawing! http://bit.ly/6Q6Wfc #
Tonights CriterionCast was a lot of fun, we all loved The Ice Storm. Thanks to @RadioConelrad for being an awesome and loyal live chat fan! #

Man, Tom Jane is so hidden in Boogie Nights, I don't think I even knew who he was back then. #
@devincf I still haven't seen Master and Commander. Your new blog project is inspiring. Here's to resolutions! *raises a beer* in reply to devincf #
Damn, that scene with Alfred Molina and the kid with the firecrackers is so freaking tense. No matter how many times I watch it. #
@timbuel it is seriously one of the best scenes ever put to film. in reply to timbuel #
@janessapk they boost your ego. in reply to janessapk #
@devincf that fight has not been finished, I see full screen versions all the time at stores. in reply to devincf #
Alright everyone, it has been years since I've thrown this DVD in the player, and I think it's been long enough: Vanilla Sky. #
@janessapk good luck with that. I think the best you get is if you become the mayor of some place that actually monitors foursquare. in reply to janessapk #
@janessapk I think the perks will improve as more people use the service. in reply to janessapk #
Cameron Crowe sure can put together a soundtrack. Something to capture the time the film was released/represents. #
@ebertchicago I'm finally re-watching Vanilla Sky, it's been too long in between viewings. http://bit.ly/4MiAsk in reply to ebertchicago #

About to watch Ang Lee's Ride with the Devil. The Universal DVD promo before the movie looks freaking terrible, like pre-youtube quality. #
@devincf is there some particular reason it shouldn't be? in reply to devincf #
@williambgoss Doesn't it seem like there was something crucial deleted before that "doggy doc" scene? Why is everyone else bloodied? in reply to williambgoss #

@RadioConelrad sometimes I use Opera, or IE on my netbook. Just to test out the blog/site on each browser. To make sure everything works. in reply to RadioConelrad #
It's amazing how much warmer it feels, riding in 45degree weather, versus 32degree weather. It's like summer time. #
