Posted on April 19, 2010 by Ryan Gallagher

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 #

@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 #
