  • I'm at Movie Madness Video (4320 SE Belmont, SE 43rd Ave., Portland). http://4sq.com/8fmLBN #
  • Check it out, the "Ryan as Batman" doll that @ms_charmaine is making: http://twitpic.com/1f0c64 #
  • So Movie Madness didn't have any copies of FotR on Blu-ray left, but I did pick up Two Towers and Return of the King, and the Bakshi 'toon. #
  • We're walking down to @whiffies for some post-bikeride sweets! Then it's time for some HD Tolkien action. #
  • I know this isn't saying anything profound, but what if the gender roles were swapped in last nights SNL skit with Tina Fey and the kid? #
  • I'm at Whiffies Fried Pies (1200 SE Hawthorne Blvd, at SE 12th Ave, Portland). http://4sq.com/aM8BU #
  • @Vactor Check it out, the "Ryan as Batman" doll that @ms_charmaine is making: http://twitpic.com/1f0c64 #
  • Getting ready to watch Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings on Blu-ray, I am pretty excited right now. #
  • So the picture in this new Blu-ray is much brighter, more colorful. I'm switching back and forth between this and the old DVD. #
  • There do seem to be a lot of little white specks in the picture. Dust? Definitely not perfect. #ralphbakshilordoftherings #
  • @RevGWCSean how many times have you seen it now? in reply to RevGWCSean #
  • I think what's really lacking in the Bakshi Lord of the Rings is the sense of geography that Peter Jackson captured with New Zealand. #
  • Middle Earth was clearly defined in Jacksons Trilogy, whereas in Bakshi's it feels disconnected, and vague. #
  • @FatboyRoberts yes! The score is so much fun, and the voice casting is a lot of fun. Some of the same cast from the BBC Radio production. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
  • @RevGWCSean did you see it in IMAX 3D? I still haven't seen it, but I hear that's the way to go. in reply to RevGWCSean #

  • @FatboyRoberts I think the EE has some character moments for Smeagol/Gollum that make it better for me. in reply to FatboyRoberts #
