  • 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 #

  • 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. #

  • @kevincarr I had a lot of fun watching that Contempt Blu-ray vs the @Criterion DVD. in reply to kevincarr #
  • I hope the Lionsgate / Studio Canal transfers improve over time, there are a lot of titles riding on their success. #

  • @moiseschiu I had never seen Arizona Dream before this Archive release, and enjoyed the hell out of it. Especially Gallo doing NxNW. in reply to moiseschiu #

  • 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. #
  • For those interested: The Sierra Nevada Glissade Golden Bock is not very good, at least as a chaser to the awesome experimental IPA. #
  • @ThomasSpurlin I know the pain. While I don't want to stay in this apartment forever, I never want to move heavy boxes again. #screwmoving #
  • I really love the nerd romance between Andy and Erin this season on the Office. It makes my heart happy. #
  • @rejects I'm not even saying that in a figurative sense, I literally mean, don't let the ads block the content that someone has clicked on. in reply to rejects #
  • I literally cannot stop listening to these @FatboyRoberts Geek Remixed Albums. You all need to support this guy: http://bit.ly/cugF8w #
  • So my audio recording of the Hyperbole in Film Criticism Panel is not the greatest. I don't know if I'll post it, but if you want a copy… #

  • @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 #
  • @Devindra It's certainly not out of the question, but I don't see why it has to be a requirement. in reply to Devindra #

  • According to my new issue of Entertainment Weekly: 20 years ago, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opened to a $20million Box Office! Memories! #
  • Actually, I mis-quoted that, it was a $25million dollar box office opening. Way to go Turtles! #
  • @TheMovieGod yeah, I don't know anymore, what I'd want from a new Ninja Turtles movie. in reply to TheMovieGod #
  • @RadioConelrad well a double dumb ass on you! in reply to RadioConelrad #
  • Taking a break from Star Trek. Heading to bed, watching Sin City, it feels like it's been years since I put this DVD on. #
  • Hmm the title sequence is surprisingly boring. I remember it being more exciting. #
  • I guess if I can enjoy all the cheese that is the adaptation of Sin City, I can learn to like Scott Pilgrim. #
  • @cosmicjungle I have the Drake Equation tattooed down my arm. It's a fun conversation, explaining it to strangers that ask. in reply to cosmicjungle #

  • Couldn't stay awake during the Hard Goodbye last night, so I'm watching Sin City now as if it were Saturday Morning Cartoons. #
  • I think the Big Fat Kill is my favorite of all the stories. Clive Owen and Benicio are surprisingly hilarious. #
  • The DVD transfer on this is so good, I think I need to get the Blu-ray. #

  • I'm at the Hollywood Video up on Sandy and 70th, they're definitely selling stuff, 10 for $10! #
  • Maybe this was a bad idea, this line isn't moving. Waiting to by cheap discs, are they worth it? >$2 each: http://twitpic.com/1bf9n6 #
  • @Rudie_Obias at a Hollywood Video that is closing for good on Monday. It is a ghost town in here. No Criterion discs, and the line sucks. in reply to Rudie_Obias #

  • Listening to the Soderbergh Solaris score by Cliff Martinez. A relaxing way to end the evening. #
  • If you haven't listened to it, I'd highly recommend checking out the commentary on Soderbergh's Solaris. James Cameron joins in to nerd out! #
  • For dinner, Charmaine made the most delicious burritos ever: Black beans, yams, and the tastiest kale imaginable. #
  • Currently watching Z Channel, which I just got for one dollar, at a Hollywood Video which will be no more after Monday. #
  • @DefaultProphet they're not renting any more movies, they were selling off everything in the building. in reply to DefaultProphet #
  • The Z Channel documentary was really interesting, but a bit of a scattered mess in terms of it's narrative. Lots of films to add to my list. #
  • It's back to bed and the last few chapters of Sin City. I really hope Sin City 2 happens one of these days. #
