@rogerthatprod where do I find these parties? Or rather, how do I get on the invite list? in reply to rogerthatprod #
Oh, ABC news, re: kevin smith too fat to fly story, I don't think you know what "tweak out" means. Or maybe I don't. I doubt it. #
Hey #sxsw friends and officials, will the film/interactive schedule be available as a file I can add to my Google Calendar / iCal? #
@EricDSnider do you want to grab coffee with me and @foxtotally one of these days? Before SXSW… in reply to EricDSnider #
Alright peeps, what is the most WordPress Friendly, Mac browser? I just had Chrome for Mac crash twice while in WordPress. #

Being able to finally see this restored Red Shoes print has me dying for a @Criterion Blu-ray. http://bit.ly/a7FFXf #
@JHoffman6 we wrote up a story on the new criterion announcements here: http://bit.ly/bkf9S8 in reply to JHoffman6 #
Are you looking for more amazing movies to add to your Netflix Watch Instantly queue? Lots more @Criterion added today: http://bit.ly/a7FFXf #
So it looks like we're heading out to the Bagdad tonight for Lost, who else is going to be there? I think we're heading over around 7? #
@greenwich_villa There isn't an easy list for only the Criterion films, but you can find many here: http://bit.ly/bxED9u in reply to greenwich_villa #
You can check out my tentative schedule for #SXSW here: http://my.sxsw.com/user/schedule/ryangallagher #
I'm at Bagdad Theater & Pub (3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 37th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/3rnctM #
In line for Lost at the Bagdad, talking to a drunk dude about life, the universe, and everything else. #
@pomoxian are you going to watch William Friedkin's Sorceror after Wages of Fear? in reply to pomoxian #
As much as I wanted to recreate the fun I had last year with BSG at the Bagdad, Lost fans are a snarky bunch of d-bags… #
@FatboyRoberts don't sweat the projector, you're giving the people something for free. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@mosesmonster the people were especially obnoxious while watching last weeks episode, with the pop up video stuff… in reply to mosesmonster #
@FatboyRoberts was it in widescreen in week 1? in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@tdreyno I was just annoyed by some people behind us, basically making fun of the show as it was airing, it took me out of it. in reply to tdreyno #
@mosesmonster not exactly, it was more like these people were just over the show, and are now only happy with making fun of the show. in reply to mosesmonster #
@FatboyRoberts I wish we'd stop getting these knowing smiles / winks at the camera, everytime the characters meet in the side-verse #LOST in reply to FatboyRoberts #
So, in the latest @Criterion newsletter, theres a Fritz the Cat drawing, is that still a Hausu clue? or are we getting some Bakshi? #
@janusfilms so, CRUMB on the @Criterion Collection? in reply to janusfilms #
@kevincarr I had fun watching the Ran and Contempt releases, comparing them to their Criterion counterparts. I wrote it up on the site. in reply to kevincarr #
Heading out to Los Gorditos for some burrito heaven! Then it's time to watch Metropolitan tonight (@Criterion) #
@stanwong27 yeah, Revanche is great! in reply to stanwong27 #
I'm at Taqueria Los Gorditos (1212 SE Division St, SE 12th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/5YwRqP #
RT @Criterion: Just went live on Hulu with the first six ZATOICHI: THE BLIND SWORDSMAN films, starring Shintaro Katsu! http://ow.ly/18vyh #
Check it out! Star Trek VII: Generations on Hulu: http://hulu.com/w/3t9h #
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 <sarcasm> 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 #
Oh man, all these great ideas for "upward social mobility": Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Star Wars, Spartacus, My Fair Lady, what else? #
This is brilliant! It helps you find an item to get to $25 on Amazon. http://lifehacker.com/5473776/ #amazon #freeshipping #
Netflix Watch Instantly added several @Criterion films this week, check them out here: http://bit.ly/bqFcfU #

RT: @PDL_Consumption: PEDAL Consumption Stickers… 3rd Run! http://tinyurl.com/ylxw3ft #

I just unlocked the "Zoetrope" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/c04IKJ #
I'm at Fred Meyer (3805 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 39th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/o1vWa #
Ah Thursday, you're my Friday. Time to drink some Sierra Nevada IPA, eat some pickles, and listen to some Decemberists. #
Hey Austin friends: What are the best local beers/ales in town? Any microbrews I should check out while at #SXSW? #
@landon_speak Excellent! We'll have to go out drinking one of the nights, after a day of movies. #
A fun thought experiment. RT @CriterionCast: Which silent film(s) would benefit from spoken dialogue? #
RT @CriterionCast: Which b&w films would actually be a better film if in color? not colorized, but actually shot in color to begin with? #
How dedicated am I to my podcast? I'm rewatching Metropolitan with the commentary. Don't try and stop me. #
@headgeek666 I'm heading out to Austin to cover SXSW for @CriterionCast, I want to buy you a beer and nerd out about Criterion Films! in reply to headgeek666 #
RT @davechensky: Mariana Trench to Scale [PIC] http://bit.ly/atZY8C This will blow your mind. Also I think James Cameron is going down here #
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped to donate for SXSW so far. You are going to make my coverage amazing! http://criterioncast.com #
Thanks to @mattsinger and @alisonwillmore, and their latest IFC News Podcast, I need to rewatch Willow, to see where I fall. #
I've seen Willow dozens, possibly over a hundred times, but not within the past 5-6 years, so it's definitely time for a rewatch. #
@ElisabethRappe totally agreed. Although, I can't get enough LOTR, so even the ripoffs feel satisfying somehow. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
Goodnight world, I just drank 4 of my 6 Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPAs, and I'm ready to watch Willow in bed. See you tomorrow. #
@theburningor are you in San Francisco right now? in reply to theburningor #
@rejects hollow gesture #FollowFriday in reply to rejects #
Despite having a pile of films to watch, that I haven't seen, I'm throwing in the Inglourious Basterds Blu-ray while I get ready to podcast. #
By the way, Portlanders, today is amazing day to go on a bike ride. It feels like spring is almost here. #
Just got back from a bike ride around the esplanade. About to put on Shaun of the Dead for the heck of it. Bring on the laughs! #
@ilikescott are you still joining us next week for the podcast? For Royal Tenenbaums? in reply to ilikescott #

I also talk some about the recent Ran / Contempt Blu-rays from Lionsgate, and how they compare to the @Criterion DVDs http://bit.ly/b0G0Nw #
A big thanks goes out to whoever bought me the laptop battery from my Amazon Wishlist! The package didn't inform me who bought it! #
This new battery will give me hours and hours more work time for SXSW! Thank you so so much. #

@Rudie_Obias which is your favorite Belle and Sebastian album? Mine = If You're Feeling Sinister! in reply to Rudie_Obias #
@RadioConelrad oh man, the Voyage Home was my favorite growing up. in reply to RadioConelrad #
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? #
@Rudie_Obias there was a whole summer when I would wake up every morning to If You're Feeling Sinister. I knew it by heart. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
@RadioConelrad I don't think The Final Frontier is as bad as people make it out to be. I can re-watch it without hesitation. in reply to RadioConelrad #

@jason @steepdecline I just emailed you a "This Week In…" Podcast proposal, let me know what you think, if interested. #
Oh man, the Pierrot le fou Blu-ray is no longer available on Amazon. This OOP @Criterion wave begins. 🙁 #
@Rudie_Obias having just watched the first couple episodes of Archer, and one episode of Frisky Dingo, Sealab was wayyyyy better. in reply to Rudie_Obias #

@ebertchicago I'm also curious why "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Harry Potter" didn't make the Special Effects category. in reply to ebertchicago #
So, who do you all use to find the cheap airline tickets? I've been used to Southwest being the cheapest, but is not the case this time. #

@rejects all of these blogger rules need to be written down somewhere, so the future can learn from the past, to avoid the same mistakes. in reply to rejects #
@rejects perhaps some stone tablets? in reply to rejects #
@rejects or maybe a film blogger co-op? in reply to rejects #
@rejects I don't know how much stock I'd place in "common sense", in an environment like this. As can be proven again and again. in reply to rejects #
@rejects sure, I've tried to instill that sensibility in our site and podcast, but sometimes its like swimming against the current. in reply to rejects #
@rejects I just don't think it's all that easy, for people jumping into this field, to figure out all the do's and don'ts in reply to rejects #
@rejects it's noble, setting the example, but it's also helpful to everyone to go out of your way to help teach the youth when you can. in reply to rejects #
@rejects I can't wait. We should form a council of some kind. in reply to rejects #
@devincf you're assuming that these people think that what they're doing is equivalent to stealing. When they have no problem torrenting… in reply to devincf #
@devincf I understand if you guys like having something to complain about, but to actually solve the problem, it will take more than whining in reply to devincf #
You know what? I love how big the credit fonts are at the end of Paris, Texas. Maybe I'm just getting older, and blinder. @Criterion #

@Emilyfromohio which movies are you discussing? Which day are you recording? in reply to Emilyfromohio #
@Emilyfromohio don't make everyone change just for me. Maybe you and I can record a splice on Friday for something else one of these days. in reply to Emilyfromohio #
Does anyone find a noticeable difference between a Class 6 SD card, and a Class 4? Any brands to steer clear of? #
@foxtotally Lola Montes right now, Charmaine is house sitting, so I may make a trip to the carts later. in reply to foxtotally #

Getting ready to go see a midnight showing of Percy Jackson with a ten year old fangirl, expect an awesome videoblog before & after. #
Oh man, Percy Jackson was a mess, but it passed the test of the fan who has read all of the books. Uploading her reactions. #
If nothing else, it made me believe that that kid could play Peter Parker, although they need to nerd him up. #
What was up with all the trailers for films with talking dogs? The Last Airbender trailer was the only thing worth getting excited for. #
RT @Criterion: May titles announced! STAGECOACH, Fritz Lang's M, WALKABOUT, Brakhage on Blu-ray, & Oshima's Eclipse http://ow.ly/16OqE #

Tonights episode on Paris Texas was a lot of fun, it should be out by Monday in your podcast catcher. #
Next week we'll be discussing Whit Stillman's Metropolitan. I tried watching it several months ago, and could not get into it, we'll see… #

The Hangover is the most deserved win of the night. #
If you think 500 Days of Summer was funnier than The Hangover, you need to get your funny bone checked out. #
@steviespin well, then the Hangover wins using that criterion also. in reply to steviespin #
Alright, enough of these Golden Globes, time to continue with the LOST re-watch-a-thon, and finish my Che review. #
Damn, its so cathartic when Sawyer smashes Pickets head into the fish biscuit button, electrocuting him. #
Thinking Inglourious Basterds would win is like voting for Ralph Nader. #
@FyodorFish Those sound about right to me. in reply to FyodorFish #
Digesting the awards a little bit more, I'd say that Michael Giacchino's Award for Up's score was really the most deserved of the evening. #
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. #
I wonder if people will one day think of Season 3 of Lost as it's Empire Strikes Back. #
So, what has been your favorite Soderbergh film throughout the years? Which is his most underrated production? (I'm voting for Solaris) #
So I finally got to handle a Droid last night. While some of the apps are pretty sweet, I'm still on team iPhone. #
Alright, I need some new desktop background images, hivemind, give me your suggestions. #
Whatever happened to Isabel, the Sheriff of the Others? She seemed so badass. I don't want her to be dead: http://bit.ly/4ICJD8 #
@RadioConelrad that sounds awesome! in reply to RadioConelrad #
@DevSatellite333 yeah, she would make a good Romulan. in reply to DevSatellite333 #
Alright, this image of the Very Large Array is my new background image for the netbook: http://bit.ly/7MY7Fp #
Hey @FoxHomeEnt when can we expect to see Soderbergh's Solaris on Blu-ray? #
@DevSatellite333 yeah, you should follow up Contact with a Cosmos marathon! in reply to DevSatellite333 #

@thepretension I love Julie Taymor's Titus it was one of my first DVD purchases back in '00. Taymor's working on a production of The Tempest #
RT: @janusfilms: The HOUSE print has landed at the IFC Center and will be screening from 6:20 on. Goodbye HD, hello film grain! #

@moviegeeks haha, I saw IHOP on that Sundance list and I thought the same thing. in reply to moviegeeks #
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. #
@sepinwall can we blame V for Juliet's death? in reply to sepinwall #
@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. #
@Vactor @Matt_Grigsby I loved his retractable finger talons, I used to imagine I had them when I would think about scaling walls. #
@foxtotally is that when Doom traveled forward in time? in reply to foxtotally #
@foxtotally I think some of my favorite foil covers of olde have to be those Shadowhawk #1's, I know you're a fan. in reply to foxtotally #
Alright all you real comic nerds: what was your favorite gimicky comic book cover of the early 90s? #
@ElisabethRappe is that when he got his adamantium ripped out? in reply to ElisabethRappe #
A couple favorite gimicky covers that come to mind: all the variant covers of Gen 13 and Wetworks, I don't think I ever got them all. #
@landon_speak I was a huge Wild C.A.T.s fan too! I used to own this amazing holo-foil poster that I had framed in my room. in reply to landon_speak #
One final thought before bed: why are English Muffins essentially inedible when cold, but absolutely delicious when toasted? #
@RoboSexual Yeah, thats a good one too! http://bit.ly/832KUQ in reply to RoboSexual #
@landon_speak yeah, I thought that cartoon kinda sucked, it didn't capture the awesomeness that were @jimlee00's amazing illustrations. in reply to landon_speak #
@landon_speak I actually dressed up as Grifter for Halloween once back in 92 or 93. I made his mask out of a red bandana and a sharpie. in reply to landon_speak #
@landon_speak did you read the X-men/WildCATS crossover books? Those were a lot of fun, each with incredible art. in reply to landon_speak #
Man, why does Europe get all of my childhood cartoons on DVD? MASK, Dino Riders, Visionaries, I want those! #

Oh man, I can't wait to have a spoilery talk about Book of Eli. I won't spoil it here on Twitter. I'll say this: did KFC sponsor this movie? #
@willschiff I didn't love it, but the ending was worthy of Shyamalan. in reply to willschiff #
@willschiff having made it to the end of the movie, I now want to see it again. in reply to willschiff #
@devincf totally. I could have also done without McDowell's wacky hair. in reply to devincf #
I have so many open hold slots at the library, time to dive into the Halliwells guide, to find movies I haven't watched. #
@gmanreviews it was the Road, the Postman, Mad Max, Waterworld, with a dash of 300. in reply to gmanreviews #
@ElisabethRappe however derivative it was, by the time the ending hit, I suddenly became way more interested, & actually want watch again. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
@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 #
@ElisabethRappe I mostly want to see it again to see where they seed clues towards the twist. in reply to ElisabethRappe #
I am such a procrastinator. I have all week to watch this, but I am now finally re-watching Haxan with the commentary. I love this job. #
Haxan plays almost like a comedy. #
@FyodorFish I'll definitely check it out, I was surprised by how un-offended I was, with all my atheistic ideals. in reply to FyodorFish #
@FyodorFish yeah, although that "library" was a little too clean for the world set up. in reply to FyodorFish #
Did anyone get a "Children of Men" flashback towards the end of Eli? #
@ElisabethRappe @FyodorFish but, maybe wasn't completely *spoiler* throughout the movie, but was going *spoiler* #

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. #

I wonder if the woman on the phone's name is really Helen, or if Locke is just that nuts. #

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! #

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 #

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 #

@ebertchicago you should come on @CriterionCast our podcast and talk to @foxtotally who watched every @Criterion film over the past 3 years. #

@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 #

#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. #

@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. #

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 #

@devincf there's an article about the Asylum in the latest Wired that begins with a desc. of the Holmes adaptation that sounds great! in reply to devincf #
Alright, we are in the airport, past all the hullabaloo, ready for our flight, French Fries for breakfast! #
I'm at San Diego International Airport (SAN) (SAN, San Diego) w/ 2 others. http://4sq.com/eyyN #
I just unlocked the "Newbie" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/6Efs5T #
@headgeek666 say what you will about CA and it's burgers, but leave the poor Avocados alone, they are truly delicious. in reply to headgeek666 #
@ebertchicago I can't wait to record some @CriterionCast episodes discussing Tati. Hopefully we'll get a Blu-ray of this new print! in reply to ebertchicago #
Hey San Diego, we're here until Monday night. You know the drill: Pokez, Ranchos, Mandarin Dynasty, rinse and repeat. #
Alright, I know it's Christmas Eve and all, but dang it Santanas, I really wanted a burrito. #
Watching an interesting documentary on toys on The History Channel. Oh to be home and have access to cable tv. #
Editing the funniest "Travis Predicts" column for @CriterionCast ever. I can't wait to see what kind of reaction it gets. #
@headgeek666 @massawyrm dudes @foxtotally went on and on about Emmett Otter a few eps back on @CriterionCast. I even made it the post image. in reply to headgeek666 #
@instanthunter dude, I have now been sucked into the Empire Strikes Back on Spike. Oh, Christmas vacation and it's access to cable. #
Why thank you Spike TV, I would love to watch Return of the Jedi as the first thing on this Christmas morning. #
@Massawyrm here's a link to the episode: http://criterioncast.com/2009/12/10/episode-016-5-disc-2/ in reply to Massawyrm #
@Rudie_Obias @vactor possibly, we may still be doing family stuff. I only have my iPhone headset with me, so the audio quality may be iffy. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
Who would have thought explaining what podcast is to their grandparents would be so hard? #
@StarBlush yeah, I tried that, but it still took time for everyone to absorb what that entailed. in reply to StarBlush #
It's an interesting feeling, being made aware of what kind of bubble you live in, be it a film or tech geek community, when you visit family #
About to head to Ranchos in Ocean Beach for some incredibly delicious Mexican Food. Then maybe to Target for gift card usage. #
I'm at Ranchos (1830 Sunset Cliffs Blvd, Ocean Beach). http://4sq.com/6Ryq5p #
So are they tightening security on domestic flights too? We're flying San Diego to Portland on Monday Night. Do I need to check my laptop? #
@Rudie_Obias I doubt it, we're out running errands for a while. Unless you want to call my phone for a specific segment. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
@devincf is this scriptment available to the public? Otherwise we have no context or point of reference to some of these tweets. in reply to devincf #
Check out our latest CriterionCast Disc 2! We discuss wha'ts been on our screens, as well as how to measure success. http://bit.ly/4KuhLh #
So, San Diego, what are you doing later tonight? We're thinking about going to Pokez for dinner later on in the evening. #
So everyone, @headgeek666 is almost at 12,000 followers. What are you waiting for? Follow the king of the internet. in reply to headgeek666 #

Finally watching Blast of Silence (@Criterion 428). That opening shot of the train coming out of the tunnel was freaking incredible. #
@RoboSexual haha, tell me about it. in reply to RoboSexual #
Watching Blast of Silence has made me want to rewatch Collateral. I totally forgot about Jason Statham's cameo at the beginning. #

RT: @CriterionCast: [Blog Post] March 2010 Criterion Collection New Releases Announced! [@Criterion New Releases] http://bit.ly/8VJ9PO #
Down at the Lloyd, in line for an advanced screening of Up in the Air. Bring on the Clooney! #
What is it about the Lloyd Center theatre that always brings out the most annoying movie-goers in town? Seriously, shut the eff up. #
@Vactor I would love to join you on your Batman podcast one day. in reply to Vactor #
Just back from the Cartopia, to fill us up after seeing Up in the Air. George Clooney could sell ice to eskimos. #
It's interesting to think of all of Jason Reitman's primary protagonists, and how similar they are. #
Sweet, just got my passes for tomorrows Avatar screening at Bridgeport. Let's hope this txtmovieclub thing is legit. #
If I was part of the academy, I would certainly not vote for Up in the Air, but I have a feeling that it's going to get a lot of love. #
@VickiAlberts Thanks! It's actually at a different location, but I appreciate the help. in reply to VickiAlberts #
@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? #
@Instanthunter dang, that ones taken too! in reply to Instanthunter #
@headgeek666 We're chatting about Butt Numb A Thon live right now over at http://criterioncast.com/live if you want to join us. #

We're still broadcasting, discussing the new Rashomon print over at http://criterioncast.com/live our Disc 2 of Blast of SIlence. #
Thanks to everyone who showed up in the chatroom for the first full length live @CriterionCast episode. It was a lot of fun, we'll do more! #
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 #
Amazon is totally failing me today with trying to get a replacement of my 400 Blows @Criterion blu-ray that was damaged. #

@Devindra @kateyrich that's what its like in Portland when it snows, you better get out and play while its still fresh. #
@DrewAtHitFix perhaps you can drop a few hints, and let the twitter-verse play a guessing game? Maybe 20 Questions-esque? in reply to DrewAtHitFix #
@DrewAtHitFix is it because the film is currently in theaters, and no screeners exist? in reply to DrewAtHitFix #
