I am way more excited by these images from Immortals than anything I saw in Clash of the Titans. #
If it came down to it, I would sell off everything I own before parting with my Futurama DVDs. #

@mtgilchrist also, what if you buy a DVD from eBay? or a garage sale, or on craigslist, the artist is no longer making any money off the art in reply to mtgilchrist #
@Curt_Holman thanks for following, I’m really enjoying your podcast with Russ and Matt, especially the Lost episode. #
Watching some old episodes of Spiderman and His Amazing Friends. This show is definitely not as cool as I remembered it. #
Hey Friends in San Diego! Go see Horse Feathers at the Casbah. Tell them Ryan sent you. #
Watching “Iran: A Cinematographic Revolution” #
Dozens, maybe over 100, crows going apeshit above this tree on SE Hawthorne. http://flic.kr/p/83js83 #

I’m trying to get some posts up on the site, but Charmaine keeps giving me shots of liquor. How am I supposed to work in these conditions? #
Yesterday’s episode of Fresh Air totally sold me on this band, The Mynabirds. I want to own whatever they’ve made. #
@fistfulofmedia I’ll have to get a list from her, but she’s going through some recipe book, looking up different mixed shots. They’re tasty. in reply to fistfulofmedia #
I wish I could somehow merge all the great qualities in the Bing image search, with the options of a Google Image Search. #

Listening to the Mynabirds on Lala, I’m really interested to see if Apple does anything with this service. #
@foxtotally when you guys get to Santa Cruz, be sure to eat at the Saturn Cafe. It’s a must stop for us on road trips. #folknroll in reply to foxtotally #
@foxtotally we’ll have a rental car this weekend, so we might be able to meet up with you all in the Bay Area at some point in our wandering in reply to foxtotally #

@ElisabethRappe be prepared for an onslaught of anonymous marriage proposals. #
@MrBabyMan pretty unlikely, since it’s going to be a part of IFC Midnight, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible 😉 #
Did formspring have a data loss? Or do they delete old questions? What the hell. #
@Rudie_Obias we had lots of other questions answered on that page before, now there is only one. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
I’m passing on the 9pm screening of Macgruber so I can watch the Fringe finale, and pack for San Francisco. I have priorities. #
Just recorded a conversation with @Laremy from Film.com about his experiences at Cannes 2010, look for it soon in the @CriterionCast feed. #
@scarletscribe once you get through it, you are certainly invited to join us on @CriterionCast to discuss them 🙂 in reply to scarletscribe #
I want to live in the alternate Fringe world. Seriously. #
Okay, we get it, “Walternate” is clever, now stop over-using it. #
Alright folks, we’re going on a road trip in the morning, down to San Francisco, what should I load up the iPod with? #
@RadioConelrad yeah, we’re going to have to put off our next show until next Friday, due to scheduling problems. in reply to RadioConelrad #

@Vactor haha, yeah, that episode should be titled: Ryan hates Network, Lost, and Robin Hood, but loved Babies. 😉 in reply to Vactor #
@Vactor just to be clear, I certainly do not hate Lost, or Network. in reply to Vactor #
Have any of you listened to the recorded conversations between Truffaut and Hitchcock? I’m thinking about those for the road trip. #
All of the Karate Kid movies are hitting Netflix Watch Instantly tomorrow. #
@scottEweinberg I still have a soft spot in my heart for the second one. in reply to scottEweinberg #
Ditto! RT @scottEweinberg: Soon I will be able to see PIRANHA and HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP on blu-ray. I love you, @ShoutFactory. @TomChenLA #
@scottEweinberg have you listened to the audiobook of World War Z? It features Mark Hamill! in reply to scottEweinberg #
We’re about 4 hours into our drive south, at a rest stop, for leg stretching, relieving natures call, and partaking in free roadside coffee. #
It’s almost depressing, how hardline, fundamentalists can turn a complex issue into something that is black and (cont) http://tl.gd/1doh1p #
We’re nearing southern Oregon, just past Ashland. While not pouring rain, it is really wet, and these trucks are scarier than usual. #
Well, now it’s snowing. And our windshield wipers are squeeking eerily. #
@moiseschiu and just like that, we passed the snow and there is practically no clouds in the sky, as we roll into California. in reply to moiseschiu #
Apparently California has some sort of deal worked out with the weather system. As soon as we cross the border, no more rain or snow. #
We’re driving to the soudtrack of Michael Chabon’s Manhood for Amateurs (audiobook). I’ve listened to it before, but this is Charmaines 1st. #
Also, what about libraries? I hope those hardliners exhange their library cards for credit cards. #
Thanks to Breaking Bad, every RV or motor home we pass is labeled as a “meth lab” by Charmaine. #
@Rudie_Obias I’m not driving at this point, when I tweet while driving, I’m sure my spelling and grammar will suffer. in reply to Rudie_Obias #
@Rudie_Obias you may want to buy a grammar guide to go along with your style guide 😉 in reply to Rudie_Obias #
Just rolled into Berkeley, for art supplies, some tasty raw/vegan eats, and who knows what else. #
Friends in the Bay Area, if you want to hang out, tonight is looking pretty open, so get in touch. #
I’m at Blick Art Materials – Berkeley (811 University Ave, Berkeley). http://4sq.com/dqiaIw #
We just checked into out motel in Daly City, getting ready to hang out with my newly graduated brother. #
@iamveryaware Penelope Cruz in reply to iamveryaware #
Oh Picnik, why won’t you load for me. #
Man, there were a ton of animated additions to Netflix Watch Instantly this evening, including a quasi sequel series for Rugrats? Wha? #
Easily the best addition to Netflix Watch Instantly tonight has to be all the Ren and Stimpy. #
@rachel1975 I didn’t even know that existed, I really liked Rugrats as a kid. in reply to rachel1975 #
Getting ready to go have breakfast in SF, it looks like we’re heading down to the Sunrise Restaurant in the Mission. #
I’m at Sun Rise (3126 24th St, btw Shotwell St & Folsom St, San Francisco). http://4sq.com/5cjSZO #
At SFSU for Matthew’s graduation. http://twitpic.com/1q4elf #
@CriterionRefs thank you so much for your donation! It will buy us several cups of coffee at Comic Con! in reply to CriterionRefs #
My phone lost battery power early on in the day, thus the lack of tweeting. Rest assured we had fun, ate great Indian food and hit up Amoeba #
That’s me! RT @ms_charmaine: Ryan in the Criterion section of Amoeba. http://flic.kr/p/84ft1A #
Plans for tomorrow: vegan breakfast, spend some time at the TWiT Cottage, and make our way home to watch the series finale of Lost. #
My Amoeba Haul: All under $10 (2 under $5), all region 2, all awesome. http://yfrog.com/caxucmj #
Batman The Movie (60’s with Adam West) is on the cable in our motel room. I think I need to own this on Blu-ray. #
@allisonejones yeah, I can’t pass up a Masters of Cinema disc when I spot one in the states, especially when it’s only $9.99 in reply to allisonejones #
We only made it to Amoeba with about 20 minutes to browse before closing, but I did flip through all the laserdiscs, and drooled. #
The Criterion section, while totally awesome, was a little too expensive for my liking, especially with the hope of a 50% off sale one day. #
Sweet! Who Framed Roger Rabbit is on next after Batman, I guess I know what I’ll be doing for the next couple of hours. Thanks HBO Family. #
I can now re-watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit, to look at it as a hallucination. See last CriterionCast episode for explanation. #
Whoa, the ape bouncer at the club says “wise ass”? I seem to remember my VHS tapes saying “wise guy” about the monkey suit crack from Eddie. #
Oh also, if you ever doubted the claims that the AT&T network in San Francisco sucks, I can confirm that to be absolutely true. #
I wish someone would write “The Science (or Phsyics) of Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Seriously, that would be fascinating. #
The scene where Judge Doom puts the toon shoe in “The Dip” is still as terrifying as it was as a kid. Gruesome! #
@CriterionRefs I love experiecing tweets like that too. in reply to CriterionRefs #
I’m at TWiT Cottage (8 Keller Street, Petaluma). http://4sq.com/6wuGLO #
Drinking the best cup of coffee in my life at TWiT, while Leo calls for everyone to quit Facebook. http://twitpic.com/1qewnp #
Leo has the Extended Edition of Fellowship of the Ring tucked into his epic tech bookshelf: http://twitpic.com/1qf4i9 #
Here’s some proof that I am where I am, totally geeking out. http://twitpic.com/1qf5ol #
Taking off from the Cottage, a big thanks to @leolaporte and his crew for a wonderful time. Now it’s time to race home for Lost! #
