The new, longer print of Metropolis is streaming online this Friday!!: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43920 #
@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. #
@Raemani awesome! thanks for the heads up, this is exactly what I was looking for! in reply to Raemani #
Ryan's #SXSW Amazon Wishlist http://amzn.com/w/1U5KG9B54SBRA #
In less than two weeks we have managed to completely catch up on both seasons of Fringe. This has to be one of Fox's best shows of late. #
Travis' His & Hers review is quoted by the Irish Film Board! @foxtotally @criterioncast http://bit.ly/dCu9xs #
Well, it looks like I'll have a whole lot of bold-ing and indent-ing to do on this post tonight, to be out tomorrow morning. Bring it on! #
@Emilyfromohio Emily! you're back on Twitter! We've missed you. in reply to Emilyfromohio #
I'm at Trader Joe's (4121 NE Halsey St, at NE 41st Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/4Gip3b #
Finally finished formatting the post for tomorrow morning at 4am Pacific. Some interesting @Criterion connections found within the list. #
Alright all you SXSW vets, what is the one thing I should not forget to bring with me? #
You can download the #SXSW Play iPhone app right now: http://sxsw.com/node/4234 #
I've joined the Film Critics Group on http://my.sxsw.com #
I've joined the Film Fans Group on http://my.sxsw.com #
Does anyone use the groups in the my.sxsw site? It looks like @williambgoss tried to blow away the cobwebs to no avail. http://bit.ly/aNmJCf #
@lazygarfield I think I'd want to live in Isengard. Pre-destruction. in reply to lazygarfield #
@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 #
Check out #SXSW's Film Panels and Short Film Lineup for 2010! http://bit.ly/bzgnyX (@CriterionCast) #
@moiseschiu I'm really excited about all of those "Futurestates" shorts. #sxsw in reply to moiseschiu #
@moiseschiu That Fear and Loathing DVD is the one @Criterion disc that I see across all stores, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. in reply to moiseschiu #
@moiseschiu Did you see that Peter Becker of Criterion is going to be at one of the SXSW panels? in reply to moiseschiu #
I just nominated Portland! RT @google: Want gigabit Internet? Our plans for an experimental fiber network http://bit.ly/drxUhR #googlefiber #

@ginatrapani is there a way to hide the comments for Google Buzz posts? #
Does anyone know how to hide comments on Google Buzz posts? #
@ms_charmaine are you watching Clone Wars with the boys? in reply to ms_charmaine #
@slashfilm watching your Despicable Me videoblog, interesting that you guys are talking Anti-heroes, while you're wearing a Boba Fett hoodie #
@Jenn_Brown I'll be looking for some vegan eats in Austin for #sxsw in reply to Jenn_Brown #
@jishosan excellent! I can't wait to try them out. #sxsw in reply to jishosan #
About to throw in the Lola Montes Blu-ray, bring on the "Ophulsian opulence!" #
@PiratedTVPro I've always heard Boba Fett referred to as an anti-hero. in reply to PiratedTVPro #
@Jenn_Brown excellent! I can't wait to get to Austin. in reply to Jenn_Brown #
@pomoxian I have my ways 😉 in reply to pomoxian #
Dang, if you've never watched the trailer for Lola Montes, it is gorgeous! You can watch it in 720p HD! http://youtu.be/KuLb53N-XCY #
@RadioConelrad well you know, we have to be able to let people know whether to pick it up, upon it's release. in reply to RadioConelrad #
@foxtotally Travis, what are you doing tonight? in reply to foxtotally #
@Emilyfromohio I can't wait to hear your episode about Wizards! Ralph Bakshi's Wizards is one of my favorite movies of all time. in reply to Emilyfromohio #
@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 #
RT: @Variety: 'Metropolis' redux: Film Festivals: New version restores long-lost cuts to Lang classic http://bit.ly/bfBQe8 #
RT: @Back_to_Eden: Happy Hour tonight: Vegan Soft Serve $1 off single or double. 6-8pm. #
Does anyone have a 4gig (or higher) SD Card I can borrow tonight? Hopefully somewhere in the SE area… #
RT @ms_charmaine: What was your first midnight movie? Tonight Ryan gets to take our 10 y/o friend Cybelle to see The Lightning Thief. #
@Vactor Fastestfox is one of my favorite Firefox addons. I install it everywhere I go, on all of my relatives browsers. in reply to Vactor #
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 #
@willschiff thanks dude, you too, are awesome! #FF in reply to willschiff #
Formatting these Criterion New Release posts have become rhythmic, but these damn columns are still such a pain in the neck. #
I wouldn't care so much about all this formatting, but I love the results! #
RT @rejects: The outdoor screening of Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS in Berlin is breathtaking. Check it out live: http://bit.ly/92CmEb #
Seriously, you all need to be watching this right now! http://bit.ly/92CmEb #
I'm at Fred Meyer (3805 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 39th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/o1vWa #
Getting ready to broadcast live, discussing Paris Texas! http://ustre.am/6Y8O #
RT @ebertchicago: Restored "Metropolis" better than anyone thought. Review from Independent (UK). http://j.mp/bYhXhS #
After showing Charmaine some episodes of Batman The Brave and the Bold, she's decided on finally watching GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. #
While she's doing that, I'm catching up on this news of the luge death at the Olympics, drinking a Stone Ruination IPA. #
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… #
By the way, if you're interested in helping me get to SXSW for @CriterionCast, I have an Amazon Wishlist set up, and you can send me Paypal. #
@timbuel Check these out: http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/04/27/star-wars-retro-inspired-travel-posters/ in reply to timbuel #

@willschiff me too! Did you end up getting press passes? in reply to willschiff #
Working on the next @Criterion / @instant_netflix post for @CriterionCast, looks like we're getting lots of Powell and Pressburger! #
While I work on these pre-emptive @CriterionCast posts, I'm making @ms_charmaine watch all of Clone Wars Season 1, plus the movie. #
@Rudie_Obias this show is awesome! I don't know what you're talking about. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
I just realized that there are different versions of the last supper image for Lost Season 6. #
Restored cut of Metropolis hitting theaters this summer, DVD and Blu-ray by Christmas? http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43987 #
This trailer for the StudioCanal Blu-ray Collection is so exciting, very well cut together. http://youtu.be/Ft79LOIXlfo #
@RadioConelrad Travis and I were just talking about Breathless and Last Year at Marienbad which are seen in the footage as well, maybe? in reply to RadioConelrad #
Just opted into the HTML5 experiment on YouTube. http://youtube.com/html5 #
@KarenAElizes That sounds dreamy. #SaturdayNightsForKaren in reply to KarenAElizes #
Heading down to Cartopia, for some end of the weekend snacks. Bring on the fried foods! #
I'm at Whiffies Fried Pies (1200 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 12th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/aM8BU #

The SXSW trip is one more step closer: bought the plane ticket today. I'll be in Austin around 2pm on Thurs March 11 through 7pm on the 17th #
Blood Orange Martinis from Charmaine – 2/13/10 http://flic.kr/p/7CQCDt #
So it looks like the HTML5 video on Youtube is playing a LOT nicer on Safari, versus on Chrome (Mac). Also, that little rabbit switch helps. #
Hey Austin friends, what do you recommend for public transport for #SXSW? The Capital MetroBus 7-Day Pass for $8? Sounds like a deal to me. #
@kinslerbot It looks like I'm going to be staying near E 52nd, near Cameron RD. I'm google mapping my bus route to the convention center. in reply to kinslerbot #
@kinslerbot I'm staying with a friend of a friend who was originally from San Diego. in reply to kinslerbot #
@ThatKevinSmith I'm glad I went with Frontier to take me to Austin next month for #SXSW, instead of @southwestair in reply to ThatKevinSmith #
