- Doing a side by side comparison of the DVD vs Blu-ray for Nicolas Roeg's Walkabout. First thoughts: sweet jesus this blu-ray looks great! #
- This blu-ray is going to be one you'll want to double dip on. Great interviews / docs, gorgeous audio, spectacular transfer. #
- The DVD has so many little flecks and scratches, the audio is muddied, the colors, almost dull compared to the Blu-ray. #
- @isavedlatin89 thanks for linking to our post!
# - @ThomasSpurlin yeah, I'm comparing the remastered blu-ray against the original DVD release. I'm sure the new DVD will look great too. in reply to ThomasSpurlin #

- @Criterion – we are expecting some awesome announcements from you on April 1st. I think you know what I mean. #xmenoriginsoncriterion #
- Re-watching King Kong, in order to talk about it in relation to The Most Dangerous Game, which were shot concurrently. I love this job. #
- It is really amazing how much unnecessary exposition was in the beginning of Peter Jackson's King Kong. The original wins. #
- While the Peter Jackson King Kong may spend too much time on exposition, it certainly wins as far as character development goes. #
- In the commentary for The Most Dangerous Game, Bruce Eder makes some interesting points about the transition from silents to talkies… #
- It really made me think about all the arguments abut 3D, and how in ten years, they may seem ridiculous. #
- In honor of April Fools, you should all go and watch the @Criterion Blu-ray of Chungking Express, & then wish @Rudie_Obias a Happy Birthday. #
- Aww, look how adorable FilmSchoolRejects.com looks: http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/ #
- @badgerspoon according to the commentary, people were arguing against dialogue in film before it was used believably. in reply to badgerspoon #
- I wish more people would bring up the idea of the Holodeck when discussing the future implications of 3D in films. I know I bring it up. #

- @badgerspoon yeah, I guess I am just upset with peoples current lack of vision, when discussing the future of film technology. in reply to badgerspoon #
- I can't believe I ever considered "King Kong vs Godzilla" to be on the same plane as the 1933 Kong. Oh, 8 year old Ryan, tsk tsk. #
- I'm posthumously posting some Twitter Blog entries on @CriterionCast for SXSW, but you have to dig to find them. #
- There are few things I like less, than having to enter all the track data for CDs that don't show up in iTunes on the CDDB. Argh. #
- We're almost at 1,000 friends on Facebook: http://facebook.com/criterioncast #

- Heading down to @foxtotally's house, to geek out before Clash of the Titans. #
- Taking the Horsefeathers tour van to the Lloyd Center for some clashing titans. #
- Holy crap. Clash of the Titans was Phantom Menace bad. #
- Screw the bad 3D, the storytelling, writing, acting, and make-up were what made this movie unwatchable. #
- @Matt_Grigsby it was bad. in reply to Matt_Grigsby #
- I'm so glad my whole row laughed at: Ease your storm! #
- Ok, so did the scorpion eat Perseus, or just land on top of him? #
- Did the screen go completely black for a few seconds for anyone else, when he met Pegasus? #
- I cannot believe how bad that was. I don't think I can go to sleep now. #
- So, that was Danny Huston as Poseidon. Did I miss something or was he only in one scene? #

- @EricVespe @moiseschiu @chasewhale I wish someone over at @DVDBeaver would revamp their web site design. It's hideous. #
- @EricVespe @moiseschiu @chasewhale but I do agree, they are a fantastic resource when comparing transfers and supplementals. #
- @Bandini1 some of the english accents were a little too thick for me, and I love the use of language. in reply to Bandini1 #
- @Bandini1 its certainly not incomprehensible, but it just helps a bit. in reply to Bandini1 #
- @DrewAtHitFix they should just create a slash/showing twitter account, so we don't have to follow both of them. in reply to DrewAtHitFix #
- So when Alec sends Laura out the back stairway, and is confronted by his flat-mate, that totally breaks the narrative structure of the film. #
- By the way, Brief Encounter is damned heart-breakingly wonderful. It is like listerine to the Clash of the Titans sugar from last night. #
- RT @io9 The Battlestar Cast: One Year Later – Battlestar Galactica – io9 http://bit.ly/933WJy #
- I think I need to rewatch the opening scene of Brief Encounter, to fully appreciate all the weight of the performances. #

- I know that advertising keeps many sites afloat, but completely taking over a screen, before letting me access a page? That is too much. #
- @rejects thats absolutely not true. It keeps the sites that rely on advertising as a source of revenue afloat. in reply to rejects #
- @rejects they pay for their sites with money made from their day jobs, because they just love producing content so much, they'll pay for it. in reply to rejects #
- @rejects or they have their sites hosted on WordPress.com or Blogspot sites, and again, write for the love of it. in reply to rejects #
- @willschiff @rejects I know we all want to make money off of this endeavor somehow, but don't let that get in the way. #
- I'm mostly complaining about a very specific type of ad. One that completely takes over the entire screen, before allowing me to progress. #

- @instanthunter I've tried starting the first book a few times, can't get into it. in reply to instanthunter #
- @Vactor yeah, I guess I can see the Adam West in it too. in reply to Vactor #
- Is there anyone out there that can explain how awesome Scott Pilgrim is, without telling me to read the comics? Use your words, people. #
- @Vactor you know, I like the idea that he's channeling Adam West much more than Shatner. I'm glad you pointed that out. in reply to Vactor #
- Hmmm the common thread amongst the fans seems to be the fact that it references video games? Apparently that's where I'm not getting it. #
- Folks, the thing is, I really want to like Scott Pilgrim. I feel like I'm missing some key that will unlock it's awesomeness for me. But… #
- @Devindra honestly, reading all of these reactions, I feel like I have no soul, in voicing my opinion. I want you all to unlock it for me. in reply to Devindra #
- @EricVespe I get the basics of it, but I don't see what is so revolutionary about it, other than the fact that it's referencing those things in reply to EricVespe #
- @Devindra isn't that the job of a critic, to unlock the experience for those interested in something new. To intellectually share their love in reply to Devindra #
- @Vactor I don't think I'm over-analyzing anything at this point. I want the fans to explain it to me, rationally, and intelligently. in reply to Vactor #
- @Devindra that sounds like a cop out to me.
in reply to Devindra # - @rejects Agreed, I can't wait to see it again. in reply to rejects #
- Saying "read the books" is akin to saying "I don't know how to relate this to someone who hasn't read the books." Isn't that your job? #
- @Devindra thats a good point. Maybe I'll save this conversation for after the film is released. in reply to Devindra #

- @thepretension I always ask @ms_charmaine to sit across from me. in reply to thepretension #
- We are sitting about ten feet away from Carla Gugino. Yep. #
- Technical difficulties at the Elektra Luxx screening, people are leaving. The picture cut out an hour in. #SXSW #
- The director just said the picture was such a good homage to Contempt that it blew out the projector! #
- @EricDSnider what are you doing now? in reply to EricDSnider #
- RT @theauteurs: Attn #SXSW: tomorrow get exclusive access to the world's most prestigious film festival: Cannes http://bit.ly/5EEUtU #
- Waiting for the late bus, trying to think of how I'm going to write about this half-screening. I mean I liked the title sequence but… #
- Is it fair to review a movie you've only seen half of? What if it got really good once Malin Ackerman showed up? #
- What a long day… Tomorrow morning: Documentary History in an Interactive World, from Nanook to @Nanook. #
- @Vactor there are literally over a thousand free legal songs from SXSW that you can download right now

- So after waiting for the bus that never showed up when it was supposed to, I broke down and took a cab back to Vanessa's, finally home. #
- So far I have not made it to any screenings at the Drafthouse. Tomorrow night and Tuesday, I'm setting up camp there. #
- @RadioConelrad it was supposed to be there. Two other dudes were in the same situation, all of us on smartphones confirming the bus schedule in reply to RadioConelrad #
- Although it's not very much money, I feel so morally opposed to paying for a taxi when a bus will do. #
- After thinking more about Elektra Luxx, I am not the target audience for that movie. I can't see myself ever renting it, let alone buying it #
- @fistfulofmedia i know, I'd be ashamed if I made it all the way here without going there. I couldn't look myself in the mirror. in reply to fistfulofmedia #
- There was a lot of really great ideas thrown around at the Cinema in a Digital Era panel today, about social tech options. #
- One thing that has been brought up again and again at the various panels: long form narratives are dying, and are archaic. #
- The idea of a two hour film was never something etched in stone at the beginning of time, it grew out of people spending a night out. #
- @Marshy00 I'm doing ok with the busses and taxis, but I'm sure if you have a hotel nearby, you'll do just fine in reply to Marshy00 #
- Did anyone else realize the naked guy in the elevator in Elektra Luxx was the dude from Mad Men? All bearded and shaggy. Yet still a creep. #

- Oh man, I'm in the front corner for Centurion, my neck is going to kill me in the morning, I think it'll be worth it. #
- A late night, hyperbolic tweet about Centurion: The best Iraq War movie set in ancient Britain. Semi-joking. #
- This movie had IED's, Decapitation, Kidnapping, Guerilla Warfare, Imperialists, and politicians complaining about the weather. #Centurion #

- In the SXXpress line for Micmacs! I cannot wait. #
- @akstanwyck I just missed you! I had to leave the Auteurs party for the Micmacs screening. #
- Oh man, @headgeek666 himself is here at the Paramount for Micmacs! I'm so excited for this. #
- @death2themovies I'm on the left side of the theater, about 4 rows from the back, green shirt. in reply to death2themovies #
- Micmacs brought tears of joy at the end, a biting, heartwarming revenge tale, I will own this on Blu-Ray the day it comes out. #
- I don't think it will have the same broad appeal as Amelie, or A Very Long Engagement, but it deserves to be seen by all. #
- It made me so happy to hear that Jeunet wanted to make this in 3D, and that would have been freaking jaw droppingly fun. #
- Well, it's that time again, 20% battery! If I don't pick up, my phone died. #
- Going to try and get into the Ritz to see Brotherhood, but the line is long. #
- @EricDSnider what are you off to see now? in reply to EricDSnider #

- Finding a bus is proving more difficult than previous nights, although I found a cart with vegan hot dogs. I'm going to stuff my face. #
- I'm at The Hot Dog King (725 Red River St, at 8th St, Austin). http://4sq.com/6R9nSI #
- I just unlocked the "Fixin' Wagon" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/cfU4oN #
- @death2themovies I finally made it back to the place I'm staying at. Currently listening to some music, charging the devices, and working… in reply to death2themovies #
- @moiseschiu it was really nice meeting you today, I hope we get to catch a screening together sometime over the next few days & have a beer. in reply to moiseschiu #

- @DrewAtHitFix I think they're all on their way, from the Press Lounge. in reply to DrewAtHitFix #
- Waiting for the "Saving Cinema in a Digital Era" panel to start. Then it's off to write, then Futurestates at 5pm, then maybe the Lamar? #
- @jenyamato it was a great panel! @jamesrocchi was inspiring. #
- Back in the press lounge, after an awesome panel discussing the future of Cinema in the digital world. Trying to get some work done before 5 #
- Got to meet @eug from indieWIRE just now after the panel. A really great guy you should all follow, and sign up for the newsletter! #

- @kinslerbot I'll definitely be at the Ritz for that. in reply to kinslerbot #
- Eesh, the dude from Blowfly just started shouting on the microphone in the press lounge. Dick. #
- @poritsky I'm at your southwest. on the black chair. in reply to poritsky #
- Hooray! the d-bag interrupting the press lounge is gone. No one go see his movie. #SXSW #
- Well, it's that time again, 20% battery! If I don't pick up, my phone died. #
- Down at the g-tech theater for the Futurescapes short films. #SXSW #
- I'm at Hitachi Gtech Theater. http://4sq.com/b9YIJW #
- I just saw my favorite film of the festival, a short film that in fact brought tears to my eyes: Plastic Bag, by Ramin Bahrani. #
- Not only is this film expertly captured visually, with an incredible score, it is narrated by none other than Werner Herzog. #
- Those of you that missed the Futurescapes screening, they are available online, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. #
- I'm actually still trembling as I type this, outside of the convention center, absorbing what I just saw. #
- Perhaps it's the loneliness of covering this event by myself that has made me more susceptible, but that film cut straight to my heart. #
- If you enjoyed the subtle future shown to us in Children of Men, you must watch this series of short films, you will not be sorry. #
- The website I thought allowed you to watch the Futurescapes shorts is not working, I'll get back with a way for you to see these films. #
- I need a stiff drink after that screening, before I see anything else. Probably heading to the Paramount after this. #
- @moiseschiu I enjoyed the twist, but it didn't find it particularly inspirational right off the bat. I enjoyed how it was more cerebral. in reply to moiseschiu #
- RT @ebertchicago: Octopuses can finally see TV, now that it's hi-fi on liquid crystal sets. They like movies about crabs. http://j.mp/cWfx6x #
- @ebertchicago thank you for using Octopuses correctly, instead of Octopi. in reply to ebertchicago #
- I'm at Pita Pit (619 Congress Avenue, E. 7th Street, Austin). http://4sq.com/9g9Wqi #
- I'm at Darwin's Pub (223 E 6th St, Austin) w/ 3 others. http://4sq.com/5Sfojd #
- @FyodorFish thanks for the link, I'd also recommend The Rise and Silver Sling. #
- Thanks to @FyodorFish for finding the link, watch this ASAP, I loved it. http://futurestates.tv/episodes/plastic-bag #
- While you're at it, watch Silver Sling too (Tze Chun!) and The Rise (for the most adorable baby ever put to film). #futurescapes #SXSW #
- @kevincarr did you meet up with @Rudie_Obias in New York? in reply to kevincarr #
- @scarletscribe Alice is great, also Nighthawks at the Diner. in reply to scarletscribe #
- While this bar lured me in with it's evolutionary name, Darwins Pub is pretty lame. #
- One more thing on Plastic Bag: the film projected on a huge screen, where it fills ones field of vision, dramatically adds to it's impact. #
- @ErikDavis I'm heading to Elektra Luxx too, after this cheap beer is finished. #SXSW in reply to ErikDavis #
- In line for Elektra Luxx! (@ Paramount Theater w/ @alisonwillmore) http://4sq.com/5C3R6S #
- Carla Gugino and Malin Ackerman are going to be in the theater for the screening for Elektra Luxx. #nerdgasm #SXSW #
- @Jason how long are you in Austin? in reply to Jason #
- Wait, the Mr. Nice director is named Bernard Rose? Is he a key to unlock LOST? #
