Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-03-22

@ThePlaylist how far back are you? I'm kind of close to the front. in reply to ThePlaylist #
@thepretension I always ask @ms_charmaine to sit across from me. in reply to thepretension #
We are sitting about ten feet away from Carla Gugino. Yep. #
Technical difficulties at the Elektra Luxx screening, people are leaving. The picture cut out an hour in. #SXSW #
The director just said the picture was such a good homage to Contempt that it blew out the projector! #
@EricDSnider what are you doing now? in reply to EricDSnider #
RT @theauteurs: Attn #SXSW: tomorrow get exclusive access to the world's most prestigious film festival: Cannes http://bit.ly/5EEUtU #
Waiting for the late bus, trying to think of how I'm going to write about this half-screening. I mean I liked the title sequence but… #
Is it fair to review a movie you've only seen half of? What if it got really good once Malin Ackerman showed up? #
What a long day… Tomorrow morning: Documentary History in an Interactive World, from Nanook to @Nanook. #
@Vactor there are literally over a thousand free legal songs from SXSW that you can download right now 🙂 in reply to Vactor #
What's up Austin? Where is this bus that's supposed to take me home? #
@Vactor here you go: http://bit.ly/2BwBT in reply to Vactor #
@Vactor actually, this is it. http://sites.google.com/site/sxswtorrent/ in reply to Vactor #
So after waiting for the bus that never showed up when it was supposed to, I broke down and took a cab back to Vanessa's, finally home. #
So far I have not made it to any screenings at the Drafthouse. Tomorrow night and Tuesday, I'm setting up camp there. #
@RadioConelrad it was supposed to be there. Two other dudes were in the same situation, all of us on smartphones confirming the bus schedule in reply to RadioConelrad #
Although it's not very much money, I feel so morally opposed to paying for a taxi when a bus will do. #
After thinking more about Elektra Luxx, I am not the target audience for that movie. I can't see myself ever renting it, let alone buying it #
@fistfulofmedia i know, I'd be ashamed if I made it all the way here without going there. I couldn't look myself in the mirror. in reply to fistfulofmedia #
There was a lot of really great ideas thrown around at the Cinema in a Digital Era panel today, about social tech options. #
One thing that has been brought up again and again at the various panels: long form narratives are dying, and are archaic. #
The idea of a two hour film was never something etched in stone at the beginning of time, it grew out of people spending a night out. #
@Marshy00 I'm doing ok with the busses and taxis, but I'm sure if you have a hotel nearby, you'll do just fine in reply to Marshy00 #
Did anyone else realize the naked guy in the elevator in Elektra Luxx was the dude from Mad Men? All bearded and shaggy. Yet still a creep. #
As far as panels over the next couple days go, tomorrow is another Doc. panel, and Tues. I have Interactive access, for a Hulu panel… #
There is also the panel on the future of the home entertainment setup by a guy from Microsoft, who handles the Xbox media center (Netflix!). #
.@jeremypair exactly! As the technology improves, we should be able to rethink institutions. Let them evolve without fearing the future in reply to jeremypair #
Whatever new features are added to the iPhone that us released this summer, please please use a better battery, it is painful. #
So, today's the 15th… What do you predict we'll see announced as @Criterion's June releases? #
@foxtotally did you watch it? in reply to foxtotally #
@foxtotally I don't think it'll be House, since the Janus made it sound like it's still under construction. Maybe the Thin Red Line though. in reply to foxtotally #
And they're in! June @Criterion releases: Mystery Train, Close-Up, and Everlasting Moments! Jarmusch, Troell, and Kiarostami! #
@Massawyrm what are you seeing today? #
@jenyamato I have a pair you can borrow. in reply to jenyamato #
After this documentary panel, I'm heading to the Alamo Ritz to see Tiny Furniture at 2:15. I'm excited. #
The director of Hoop Dreams, Steve James, (our next episode!) is on the Documentary Panel I'm at! #SXSW http://twitpic.com/18rq53 (right) #
Just shook hands with Steve James, director of Hoop Dreams! Got to tell him about the podcast and blog, briefly. #
Heading to the Ifc House for some fruit, then I'm off to the Ritz. #
I'm at IFC Crossroads House (612 Brazos, at East 7th St., Austin) w/ 13 others. http://4sq.com/ct6ZhE #
I can't believe it, but I actually forgot my iPhone cable this morning at Vanessa's. Luckily IFC has a charging station. This could be bad. #
Just got to meet @mattsinger from the IFC Podcast. Really nice guy, I'm sad he's going to have to drink a bowl of queso… #
@kyle_newman Are you still in Austin? I'm heading to Tiny Furniture, then down to the Alamo Lamar afterwards. in reply to kyle_newman #
I'm at Alamo Ritz theater 1 (320 E 6th St, Trinity St, Austin) w/ 4 others. http://4sq.com/ctNi4D #
In line for Tiny Furniture at the Alamo Ritz, stuffing my face with this Pita Pit: http://twitpic.com/18saqz #
@Rudie_Obias get in touch with Travis, he has a google doc for it going already. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
RT @akstanwyck: #SXSW : Gondry Goes Animated with Daniel Clowes' Megalomania: Michael Gondry is a marvel.. http://bit.ly/bk9nYb #
@kyle_newmani I was thinking about heading to the Alamo Lamar tonight for some movies. #
What is up with the crew of Tiny Furniture cutting in line? Haven't they already seen the movie? I haven't! #
Just finished Tiny Furniture, an absolutely wonderful family/coming of age/ post college journey. The q&a is happening, charmingly. #
RT @jenyamato: Elektra Luxx will screen again tonight @ 11:45pm with cast + director q&a! #
I got to sit next to the amazing @alisonwillmore from IFC, during Tiny Furniture. It was a fun note-taking session. #
This was my first time getting food at the Ritz. I had fries, a root beer, and a hefeweizen! Luxurious setting, despite a neck cramping view #
Heading back to the IFC house to charge my phone, they have iPhone cables! #
I'm at IFC Crossroads House (612 Brazos, at East 7th St., Austin) w/ 2 others. http://4sq.com/ct6ZhE #
Having some free beer at the Ifc house, usage of the iPhone charger is limited, causing whining by those who arrived after me. #
Taking the shuttle to the Alamo Lamar. Is there wifi around there to get work done before the screening? #
@moiseschiu thanks man! What are you seeing tonight? in reply to moiseschiu #
I'm at Alamo Drafthouse (1120 S Lamar Blvd, Austin) w/ 3 others. http://4sq.com/51qQwv #
In line for Earthling at the Alamo Lamar. #
RT @IFCdotcom: FESTIVALS: Why SXSW Interactive is essential to understanding the future of media http://goo.gl/fb/swnt #
@devincf I enjoyed the Lost City of Z, I read it before Up came out. in reply to devincf #
RT @rejects: Elektra Luxx has been rescheduled for TONIGHT (Monday, 3/15) at 11:45PM in the G-Tech Theater. #sxsw #
I'm trying to get @kyle_newman to see People vs George Lucas with me tomorrow, mostly to get his rebuttal afterwards. #
I have an absolutely perfect seat for Earthling. Getting falafel and the Monty Python ale for dinner. #SXSW #Drafthouse #
@ThePlaylist this is my first time at the drafthouse too! in reply to ThePlaylist #
@ThePlaylist yeah, I wasn't blown away by Earthling either. in reply to ThePlaylist #
Out of the Earthling screening, back into the SXXpress line for Cherry. I was not a fan of Earthling by the way. #
@FSRbrian are there passes for this, I'm at the back of the line. in reply to FSRbrian #
Rain? What is this, Portland? I guess I'm staying at the Alamo to see some secret movie…!!! #
Oh man, I'm in the front corner for Centurion, my neck is going to kill me in the morning, I think it'll be worth it. #
A late night, hyperbolic tweet about Centurion: The best Iraq War movie set in ancient Britain. Semi-joking. #
This movie had IED's, Decapitation, Kidnapping, Guerilla Warfare, Imperialists, and politicians complaining about the weather. #Centurion #
@FyodorFish as soon as I get home on Wednesday evening, I'll be posting lots of SXSW reviews in reply to FyodorFish #
You know, I really could have done without the narration in Centurion. That and the font for the titles/languages. #
Are there press notes up online for Centurion? I can't remember all of the names, or even begin to know how to spell some of them. #
I don't remember wanting to fly thousands of miles to recreate the Portland weather in Austin. Had to run in the rain to catch my bus. #
The rain definitely did not help me get out of bed this morning. But I have Interactive access today, and panels to see! #
@msaleem it is! I didn't want to go carrying my laptop in the rain today. in reply to msaleem #
RT @theauteursdaily: Jafar Panahi update. Iranian filmmakers and artists issue protest; wife denied visitation: http://bit.ly/a39BUH #
In at the Hulu and Hollywood Panel. (@ Sxsw / Radisson Travis Room) http://4sq.com/dcz7Mp #
Just got to the press room, for recharging. The Hulu and Hollywood panel at the Radisson was fantastic, but…. #
The Future of the Digital Living Room panel was cancelled! So now at least I can recharge the batteries, get some coffee, and get posts up. #
I did score an SXXpress pass for The People vs. George Lucas at the Paramount today at 3:30. I don't know which other films I'll be seeing. #
Off to the Paramount to see The People vs George Lucas! Then it's back to the press lounge. #
I'm so glad I grabbed an SXXpress pass for People vs George Lucas. Apparently there's a long line. #SXSW #
Just realized I left my debit card at the house this morning. Apparently my brain is required to forget one essential item each day I'm here #
Due to no seats being reserved, I finally have a really good seat in the Paramount. #
The People vs George Lucas is the Star Wars documentary that I've been waiting for! I absolutely freaking loved it! I want to see it again. #
@vegvixxxen what time is it at? in reply to vegvixxxen #
@fistfulofmedia it's critical, but from a place of love, and ultimately hopeful. in reply to fistfulofmedia #
The Ifc house is freaking packed! Free drinks'll do that. #SXSW #
Everyone at SXSW! RT @PvGDoc: Come see it on Thursday at 9:45pm, G-Tech! #SXSW #peoplevsgeorgelucas #
RT @filmjunk: Avatar Barebones DVD and Blu-ray Coming in April http://bit.ly/9kZxDj #
Hanging out with the Gordon and the Whale folks, drinking at the IFC House. #
Is anyone in Austin, at SXSW, watching Lost tonight? We need a place to see it. #
I think my last movie of the day is going to be Les Signes Vitaux, at the Alamo Ritz, then it's going to be an early night in. #SXSW #
@RebFef thank you so much, for helping organize one of the best celebrations of filmmaking in existence. #SXSW #
RT @brokencosmos: @RebFef thank you so much, for helping organize one of the best celebrations of filmmaking in existence. #SXSW #
Is anyone else going to the Passion of Joan of Arc Screening tomorrow at the Alamo Ritz? It'll probably be my last #SXSW event, let's meetup #
After watching Centurion last night, I really, really want to see Sorceress, those in attendance know why. #
Two of the coolest dudes I met tonight at the IFC house, whom you should follow: @chasewhale and @Wilymon. Seriously awesome guys. #
@stephsmith he is definitely shirtless. And a badass as always. in reply to stephsmith #
RT @screenrant: Amen! RT @elmayimbe: The Captain America casting process is hands down the most annoying in the history of Superhero movies. #
@ColeAbaius dude, what are you doing tomorrow, let's grab a beer before I leave town. #
@stephsmith him and Dominic West seriously bulked up to Ferrigno proportions for this movie. Slightly exaggerating. in reply to stephsmith #
My #FollowFriday this week is going to be chocked full of all the amazing, intelligent, hilarious folks I've met here in Austin for #SXSW. #
@scottEweinberg when do you head back home? I'm flying out tomorrow night. Joan of Arc is the only screening I hav planned tomorrow. in reply to scottEweinberg #
Outside the Paramount, about to hop on my earliest bus ride home. To pack up, post some articles, & prepare myself for my last day at #SXSW. #
Congratulations to Tiny Furniture! One of my favorite films this week! #SXSW Awards! #
@scottEweinberg if you find a resource (PDF?) let me know, I'm interested, for the review. in reply to scottEweinberg #
@ColeAbaius I'm heading to the Airport around 5, I'm also going to see Passion of Joan of Arc in the morning at the Ritz. in reply to ColeAbaius #
Too…much…swag…. suitcase… won't .. close … #
@lenadunham Congratulations on an incredible movie. I was at the Ritz screening the other day, and it was wonderful. #SXSW @tinyfurniture in reply to lenadunham #
@willschiff what are you seeing tomorrow? All I have planned so far is Passion of Joan of Arc. in reply to willschiff #
Oh man, my Google Reader is out of control. I spend a week watching movies and panels, and my news reading just falls apart. #
Connecting Criterion films to the SXSW stuff I saw is a lot easier than one would imagine. I feel like every film I saw referenced something #
I'm at Starbucks (600 Congress Ave, at 6th St, Austin). http://4sq.com/6C9Ozr #
In line for the Passion of Joan of Arc, at the Alamo Ritz. It's showing at 12 with a live performance by In the Nursery, I'm really excited. #
In the Alamo Ritz for the Passion of Joan of Arc, just asked the band if it was ok to record their performance, we'll see how dark it is. #
RT @janusfilms: This print will NOT be back in LA for quite some time! RT @newbeverly: Wednesday is the FINAL DAY for Hausu. #
RT @EricDSnider: In line for JOAN OF ARC screening. Already made the joke about the director not being here, so that's taken care of. #
I'm at SXSW Austin Convention Center Room 12 w/ 13 others. http://4sq.com/dsCHfO #
RT @EricDSnider: Not to sound pretentious, but PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC is outstanding, & I watch a lot of silent movies, & I am very smart. #
According to HBO, there is misinformation about the Pacific DVD release: Not Fathers Day, probably in the second half of the year. #

Alright Austin and #SXSW'ers, I'm walking up to the IFC House for coffee, then I'm making my way to the Airport via Bus. It's been real! #
It looks like I picked the right day to get out if here, the hipsters have taken over: http://twitpic.com/196e4i #
I'm at 7th and Colorado, waiting for the Airport Flyer bus. Looks like I was smart in heading to the Airport early, the bus is late. #
@poritsky it was great meeting you too! Safe travels! #
Seriously Austin, your busses suck. Where is this Airport flyer? #SXSW #
Finally made it to the airport, after a hellishly long bus ride in traffic. Charging all the devices before the flight home, via Frontier. #
RT @RebFef: Another sign #SXSW Music has arrived: http://tweetphoto.com/14764729 #
If you're an airport, and don't have free wifi, well, well that's just mean spirited. #
Flights boarding, I should be home by 11pm, see you soon, Portland, so long Austin! #SXSW #
Oh wow, such quality titles, for only $8?How could I pass these by? </sarcasm> http://twitpic.com/198245 #
I just unlocked the "Super User" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/aWCX3Q #
