@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? #

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 #
@HitFixGregory Six Feet Under in reply to HitFixGregory #
@HitFixGregory yes, but he was certainly not a one-note character. in reply to HitFixGregory #
RT: @PDL_Consumption: PEDAL Consumption Stickers… 3rd Run! http://tinyurl.com/ylxw3ft #
@GeekintheCity I'll back you on that. in reply to GeekintheCity #
Just updated the @Criterion / @instant_netflix to include David Lean's Oliver Twist (#32): http://bit.ly/a7FFXf #
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 #
@TerryMoore Hey Terry, would you like to join us on an episode of @CriterionCast one day? I can DM you the details. in reply to TerryMoore #
@tylermays I think it's worth a watch. in reply to tylermays #
@scottmccloud Hey Scott, would you like to join us on an episode of @CriterionCast sometime? #
@leolaporte Hey Leo, would you be interested in joining us on an episode of @CriterionCast sometime? #
Holy crap: The War of the Stars: A New Hope Grindhoused. Bring on the Fan Edit. #
Heading down to Tinys for coffee with @foxtotally and @EricDSnider. #
Check out our latest Disc 2 of @CriterionCast: http://bit.ly/b0G0Nw . We discuss Superbowl Commercials, Midnight Movies, and Percy Jackson. #
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. #

Enjoying this gorgeous Portland Saturday by taking a leisurely stroll down to the library and the SE Hawthorne area. #
RT @AaronMesh: Big BAM double feature tonight: "In a Lonely Place" at 7, "House" at 9. Cinema 21. Be there or be somewhat rueful. #newsaying #
Ryan's just for the heck of it rewatch: Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray. Yeah, I have other stuff to watch, but c'mon, who's gonna to stop me? #
@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 #
@TerryMoore excellent! If you want to DM me your contact info, (pref. gmail or email with Google Doc access) I can send you more info. in reply to TerryMoore #
It looks like @kino_intl has something special planned this year for @Metropolis2010: http://www.kino.com/metropolis/ #
@scottEweinberg Scott, we need to get you on an episode of @CriterionCast, any thoughts on a movie you'd be interested in? #
@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 #
