Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-11-22

Heading up to Alberta to visit The Bye & Bye for the very first time! We're excited about dinner. #
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. #
I can't wait to see the response to my Transformers 2 defense on the @CriterionCast disc 2 with @Vactor. Y'all better write in, or comment. #
So, we're discussing Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing this week on @CriterionCast, be sure to write in with your thoughts on this classic. #
I'm at Powell's City of Books (1005 W Burnside St, at NW 10th Ave, Portland). http://bit.ly/kuW4R #

@Nikki71 Hooray! Are you excited about the possibility of Brian Cox as one of the dwarves? I am. in reply to Nikki71 #
I gotta say, @Rudie_Obias, this latest @CriterionCast is your best job editing yet! It sounds great. http://tinyurl.com/yfrndr2 @Criterion #
Heres my Top 10 (-ish) @Criterion Covers. A work in progress: http://www.theauteurs.com/lists/658 #
@FatboyRoberts Yeah, these are the DVDs, I don't have access to most of the laserdisc covers, although I'd love to stumble across those. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@FatboyRoberts Once I finalize this list, I'll write up a post, all pretty with pictures. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@FatboyRoberts maybe Criterion Dungeon? I haven't looked for laserdisc covers, but maybe I will now, right this second. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@FatboyRoberts dang, I love those Goodwill Laserdisc Finds. My only Criterion Laserdisc is a copy of King Kong. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@FatboyRoberts Thinking about it, wouldn't one need a large format scanner to do those laserdisc covers? That's dedication. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
@devincf I'm sure they would let you in if you just showed up. Don't they read your Trekkin' pieces? in reply to devincf #
@headgeek666 Is that coming out on DVD? I mentioned that on Episode 2 of CriterionCast and no one had heard of it. I freaking love that film in reply to headgeek666 #
I don't know what I just did, but all of my iPhone apps just magically sorted themselves alphabetically. Freaky. #
RT @TVShowsOnDVD: Sarah Silverman Program. After a Long Wait The Rest of the Second Season Coming to DVD http://tvshowsondvd.com/n/12981 #
Chasing Amy Blu-Ray: http://tinyurl.com/vablurayboxset (via @ThatKevinSmith) (@CriterionCast ep 13 on Chasing Amy is up today too!) #
RT @CriterionCast: RT @blurayforums: Warner Launches DVD2BLU Program: Warner Home Video has announced that… http://tinyurl.com/yeq6fxe #
@ThatKevinSmith how is the transfer on the Blu-Ray for Chasing Amy? The @Criterion disc was pretty grainy and messy at times. Still loved it #
@davechensky @akstanwyck don't all film critics dream of working in the movies? in reply to davechensky #
If I have to actually give up the disc, I'm not going to do this DVD2Blu thing. I liked only having to give up the sleeves for my HD-DVDs. #
@kevincarr You should write up a glossary for terms like Collectors Ed., Special Ed., Directors Cut, Extended Cut, etc It could be hilarious in reply to kevincarr #

RT @CriterionCast: Check out this clip of @Criterion LaserDiscs with Leonard Maltin from 1985!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyIklbmfRJw #
@FatboyRoberts yeah, it's amazing. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
LaserDisc Players: wave of the future? [Is this how Blu-Ray will end up? Eerie similarities] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOJ5h0EC9Nc #
@FatboyRoberts Is that the one you were watching? It's amazing how similar those arguments could be applied to the Blu-Ray / DVD changeover in reply to FatboyRoberts #
Currently watching the Disc 2 Features on @Criterion's Do The Right Thing release. Everyone was so young! This footage is priceless. #
@Rudie_Obias man, you live right down the street from where Do The Right Thing was filmed! Thats awesome. #
Alright, done with the special features, done fiddling with columns in the blog, time for the new disc of Batman: The Brave and the Bold! #
[Totally!] RT @ms_charmaine: Thoroughly enjoying Spike Lee responding to critics reviews of Do The Right Thing. #thugsvswhiteownedproperty #
Eesh, Guy Gardner has got to be the most annoying and worst designed Green Lantern. I'm glad Batman thinks so too. I love this show! #
As campy as it is, Batman: The Brave and the Bold taps into something totally wonderful, with quality animation. #
RT @WeekinRewind: 'New Moon' director says film was inspired by … David Lean and Akira Kurosawa? http://bit.ly/3zDumE [LA Times Article] #
@stephsmith haha! Great minds think alike. Although, in all honesty I'm probably going to watch it and talk about it on the podcast. in reply to stephsmith #
Is anyone else experiencing weird podcast/iPod downloading & syncing issues? Old episodes showing up falsely as the new episode? #

RT @criterion: Exclusive interview with Wes Anderson on THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX! http://ow.ly/DtNX #
So, as impressive as this epic 17-minute shot in Hunger is, it feels a bit too snappy to be in the middle of this movie. #
Alright, I finally saw 500 Days of Summer. I was quickly losing interest interest, until the Han Solo moment + dance number. #
Has Joseph Gordon Levitt ever teamed up with Neil Patrick Harris? I feel like they should join forces for something truly geeky. #
RT @foxtotally: Top 10 Criterion Releases by Travis George http://bit.ly/2uTXNq #
@FatboyRoberts I'm sure we'll have a fun discussion of lists this week on the podcast. Maybe Travis will defend his picks. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
