Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-11

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 #
Check out Travis' detailed description of the @Criterion 2010 Release Drawing over at @CriterionCast: http://bit.ly/6hJRDf #
@ElisabethRappe thats the giant bird, that people mistook to be a munchkin hanging himself? in reply to ElisabethRappe #
@ElisabethRappe we were watching it the other day and looked up that trivia. I think maybe thats the same bird. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
@headgeek666 enjoy it, knowing that people look up to you, and respect your opinion. in reply to headgeek666 #
@Laremy I only use Flixster on my iPhone, I think I've gone to their website once or twice to configure my profile. in reply to Laremy #
@FatboyRoberts well, at least we now have Avatar to splice into that fan made Thundercats trailer. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@foxtotally which theater are you going to? in reply to foxtotally #
Sometimes it seems like those geeks who were bullied in high school have grown up to become the bullies of other geeks on twitter. #irony #
Ah, so this is the real Avatar Scriptment: http://twitpic.com/wprzr #avatarisreallypocahontas #
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 #

George Lucas is on Fresh Air today! Fun stuff. I need to get this book. #
@Vactor I didn't, but I'm listening to the Fresh Air episode right now. in reply to Vactor #
Check out the latest Disc 2 of CriterionCast, you can hear us talk Ang Lees Hulk, and what we're excited about in 2010: http://bit.ly/5gADeY #
@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. #

Also, Worlds Greatest Dad is now available on Netflix Watch Instantly: http://bit.ly/5Fwz9u #
@moiseschiu Did you get the War Trilogy set to review too? That one is worth unboxing as well, look on the interior of the empty box… in reply to moiseschiu #
@moiseschiu gotcha, I wasn't really hot on the orange cover for Che, but I like the two individual cover art. in reply to moiseschiu #

@moiseschiu I just posted some pictures of the set in the @CriterionCast twitter feed. in reply to moiseschiu #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-04

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 #
Hey all you cine-friends, do any of you use CinemaNow? We were just accepted into their affiliate program, how is the service? #
Thanks to everyone who found our Netflix/Criterion post helpful over the holiday weekend. Our numbers were unbelievable. http://j.mp/7K8m0P #
@Instanthunter I think we'll see a stream of older library titles released over the next few years hopefully before the next shift in format in reply to Instanthunter #
@headgeek666 didn't you write up the Excalibur HD-DVD also? in reply to headgeek666 #

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. : #

@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 #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-12-28

@devincf I have to disagree with your argument that the creature work was on par with AOTC, all of the creatures of Pandora clearly have… #
@devincf … traits that lead to a common ancestor. Time was taken by the folks at Weta in designing them from the inside-out. #
@devincf While they may be similar to animals on Earth, the actual design work, in linking them together by common traits, shows effort. in reply to devincf #
@devincf It shows much more effort than what went into those three beasts shown at the end of Attack of the Clones. in reply to devincf #
@devincf It's not as simple as taking an animal that exists, and then trading parts with other animals. in reply to devincf #

@rejects Dang, I want to visit the set of Predators. in reply to rejects #
So which of the March 2010 Criterion releases are you most excited about? http://bit.ly/7jf0y1 #
@thefilmtalk I had a phase in high school where I really got into that movie, and read the book, was just obsessed with most spy stuff. in reply to thefilmtalk #
Alright I'm here at Bridgeport, in line, ready for some blue aliens. #
Alright! Twitter is back, now I can talk about how much I loved Avatar! #
So, here are my thoughts: This movie is a proof of concept that a kick ass Thundercats movie is possible. Witty eh? #
Yes, obviously the special effects are worth the price of admission, however high they may be. #
No, the dialogue and characters aren't anything to write home about, but they are perfectly adequate. Except of course for unobtanium. #
Two worst things in my opinion: 1 Giovanni Ribisi's character, cartoonishly evil. 2 Unobtanium, how can you speak that with a straight face. #
So, in conclusion, I am going to see this movie at least two more times in theaters, buy the blu-ray, and marathon the special features. #
Oh wait, two favorite parts: 1 The animals, especially their sounds. 2 Seeing all the memorable Weta names in the credits. Gino Acevedo FTW! #
@Devindra I'm more excited about watching hours and hours of the making of this movie than watching it in 2d. in reply to Devindra #
Also, I want LOTR style commentary on this disc release, 4 commentary tracks! Plus a picture in picture of the pre-rendered stuff. #
Seriously, unobtanium? I can't believe that made it to the final draft. #
@Devindra they can be blamed for using it, when they could have called it something like pandorium, or pandorite. or anything else in reply to Devindra #
@FatboyRoberts it just felt like a big wink at the nerdy audience, in a movie where I didn't want to be winked at. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@FatboyRoberts what are you guys showing tomorrow night? in reply to FatboyRoberts #
Oh, my other favorite part: Sully's atrophied human legs. Creepy as hell, I want to see some making of footage of those. #
@FatboyRoberts what time are you going to the screening? We have the podcast but I might make a late showing. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@FatboyRoberts that sounds like a manageable screening time to me, I'll definitely try. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
So, do movie theaters that show 3D films still hunt for people trying to pirate it? They should just point and laugh. #
Oh, I get why they used it, but was the whole twin brother thing really worth the exposition? #
For all you Wired subscribers, there is a pretty awesome article on The Asylum in this new issue. #
I want to change my Twitter name, but all the variations of my name are taken, any thoughts hivemind? #

So, Avatar is playing at the Roseway at 10:30 in 3D for $9. I want to see it again, are you going too? #
@willschiff I don't think it was a gimmick at all. in reply to willschiff #
Oh man, do I stay in, watch Inglourious Basterds on Blu-ray again and upgrade to WordPress 2.9, or see Avatar again. Such choices in life… #
So have any of you read / listened to the audio book of the new Michael Crichton Pirate book? Any good? #
@FatboyRoberts that sucks dude, we're getting ready to head up to the Roseway, see you there? in reply to FatboyRoberts #
Alright Portland, we're at the Roseway for a second viewing of Avatar! Get out here! It's going to be epic. #
@KarenABorromeo well, I'm at the theater, for Avatar again. Take that for what you will. in reply to KarenABorromeo #
Why yes, the second viewing of Avatar was still flipping amazing. I noticed all kinds of little touches that I want to share with you all. #
Did you notice the fingers? The human/avatars have 5 fingers, whereas the Na'vi only have 4 fingers… #
Also, look closely at all of the species of creatures, they all clearly have similar features, hinting at common ancestors! #
I really hope they produce a sort of "Walking with Dinosaurs" style documentary for the bonus materials for the disc releases. #
Also, if you're going to the Roseway Theater, don't sit too far back, you want the screen to fill your entire field of vision… #
The more screen fills your field of vision, the more immersed you'll feel. The better the 3d will suck you in. #
It's also interesting how with the 3D, if someone blocks a section of the screen, or walks in front of you, it breaks the illusion. #
It fills me up with so much hope how each time the credits roll, the audience erupts in applause. Science fiction FTW! #
So, "the Company" in Avatar is Secfor, is that website "secforinternational.com" a part of the viral marketing? #
I think to tide me over until a blu-ray release of Avatar, I'm just going to rewatch the Skull Island scenes from Peter Jacksons King Kong. #
@amazon you are failing me today, with this replacement I am trying to get. I don't want a refund, I want to wait until the item is in stock #

I'm at Bye and Bye (1011 NE Alberta St, at NE 11th Ave, Portland). http://bit.ly/231I5p #
When I eat really spicy things, I get uncontrollable hiccups. Tonight, the Weeping Tiger Sandwich at the Bye and Bye gave me such hiccups. #
It probably wasn't the wisest decision to pair the Weeping Tiger sandwich with a cup of really hot coffee. #
