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 #

Listen to us geek out with James McCormick about this years Butt-Numb-A-Thon, & discuss some of the films. http://bit.ly/8WQcpT #
@devincf probably the same reason that mammals have different characteristics from reptiles, or fish. in reply to devincf #
@headgeek666 hey Harry, we posted our live broadcast discussion of BNAT over at http://criterioncast.com #

Thanks for all of your support! @Instanthunter @ElisabethRappe @Devindra @Becky_Middleton @death2themovies @FatboyRoberts #
Good morning everyone, the traffic numbers from yesterday for CriterionCast are seriously insane. Today is all about creating more content! #
Also, we're heading down to San Diego tomorrow morning for the holidays so if you want to meet for lunch sometime after Friday, get in touch #
I think to keep me company while I pack and work on the site today, I'm going to have an X-men Trilogy Blu-ray marathon . #
@gwensdad I don't have DisneyXD, and this Blu-ray of X1 is freaking gorgeous. in reply to gwensdad #
Watching X1 on Blu-ray, @ms_charmaine just pointed out that Wolverines claws don't look all that real, even in this movie. #
How many of you are going to take your family to see Avatar this weekend? It better be a lot of you! #
Alright everyone, we know you love lists so here's another: Travis' (@foxtotally) Top Ten @Criterion Films of all time! http://bit.ly/6KgDZf #
Alright, morning marathon is over, time for some @Criterion Blu-ray action: Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding! An absolutely gorgeous transfer. #
Re-watching Monsoon Wedding on Blu-ray, this film has to be among the best that @Criterion released this year. #
For those keeping track, we have now beat yesterdays numbers (traffic for my netflix post). We're almost at 5,000 uniques in 24 hours. #
Listening to the Monsoon Wedding commentary, I love the idea of people getting up to dance when the music plays over the closing credits. #
I'm at La palapa (1864 se hawthorne, Portland). http://4sq.com/61zgu6 #
I just unlocked the "Explorer" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/4HiyJQ #
Dang, I think the site is finally starting to buckle under the weight of all the traffic. #
All packed, full of english muffins and peanut butter, and watching some Alton Brown's Good Eats. Ready to fly in the morning. #
Oh, I was watching Star Trek First Contact on Blu-ray earlier, and that sequence on the dish really stood out as being on a set. #
@KarinaLongworth Congratulations Karina!! in reply to KarinaLongworth #
@devincf man, that has to be the ugliest font known. I love it! in reply to devincf #
@devincf I can't believe that Away We Go made your list whereas Watchmen was left off. in reply to devincf #
@headgeek666 did you see our post with the various newly added netflix/criterion films? in reply to headgeek666 #
@headgeek666 here you go: http://criterioncast.com/2009/12/21/criterion-on-netflix/ in reply to headgeek666 #
@headgeek666 I'm also working in a page for the site with all of the Criterion films on Netflix Instant Watch, should be up in a day or two. in reply to headgeek666 #
@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 #
