Really disarming just how legitamately good it is. 22:53:55: Wow, the streets have a really eerie feeling right now... As if a significant portion of the population has vanished... Must be a new moon. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com 2 comments|post comment

From Twitter 10-18-2009 [19 Oct 2009|02:01am] 12:52:52: It just occurred to me that if you stick to the book's time line, 2011 is when It/Pennywise should come out of hibernation if he's not dead. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 10-16-2009 [17 Oct 2009|02:01am] 02:18:48: Where the Wild Things was perfect. Beautiful, funny, sad. A brilliant exploration of difficult emotions built on little boy logic. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 10-15-2009 [16 Oct 2009|02:01am] 23:54:15: Watching the midnight showing of Where the Wild Things Are with my wife. Hi @kaylakro and @ldmullen Tweets copied by twittinesis.com 1 comment|post comment

I had been watching for it. I saw "Los Enchildas" at the tribute at CapCity in '05. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 10-07-2009 [08 Oct 2009|02:01am] 12:10:18: I think I finally figured out why I can't stand him. Chris Cornell = male Janis Joplin. 13:41:00: @arcadeufo Congratulations Arcade UFO! 14:38:55: @ldmullen What's your favorite chair? 16:31:28: I thought I accidentally threw away an expensive dental appliance. Instead it fell to the ground shortly before I would have thrown it away. 17:01:02: @calvinicus Why did I have to read that? 17:59:59: RT @MondoNews If you guys can get us to 1000 followers by 7pm CST, I'll put everything on sale by 25% until midnight! 18:00:40: @georgiabelle82 He has the worst voice in the history of ever. He's the reason God invented deafness. 18:15:39: @scottEweinberg I agree with your review. It's actually a stunning cinematic achievement I can't stand. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 10-05-2009 [06 Oct 2009|02:01am] 12:11:14: My wife woke me up a minute before my alarm was set to go off. I had a whole extra minute to kill. I should have made some rice. 12:36:27: @Jenn_Brown Let me rephrase that. That I heard few people talk about. It kind of got hobbled by end of FF malaise. 14:48:30: @rejects I agree. All media or nothing. 17:05:32: @scottEweinberg My Super Ex-Girlfriend. And Dr. Manhattan, which is only lame because they made him look like a villain. 18:03:35: Anyone want two tickets to see A Hard Day's Night at Music Monday? I suddenly feel like sleep would be a really, really good idea. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 10-04-2009 [05 Oct 2009|02:01am] 09:23:42: I'm debating between seeing the Warriors at the Ritz at 9:30, trying to belatedly catch Zombieland, or indulging in precious sleep. 10:34:36: Lesson learned: If you can't say something nice, don't attend a press screening. Or wait until your opinion is no longer timely or relevant. 11:59:08: Rewatched Stingray Sam last night. McAbee's out of print "The American Astronaut" is up on youtube in 9 parts. http://tinyurl.com/ydosa6u 12:00:16: @slayer1881 Yep. First year for that too. I've been at least 2 for 5 previously. OH well. 12:01:07: @stomptokyo Yay 0 for 5! 12:23:48: I kind of feel sorry for all the female staffers David Letterman didn't have sex with. I'm sure they feel crushed. 16:59:44: The Korean film Private Eye was one of the best films at Fantastic Fest that few people saw. More Sherlock Holmes than Chinatown.

From Twitter 10-01-2009 [02 Oct 2009|02:01am] 01:52:23: Human Centipede: medically accurate. DVD should come with detailed instructions so you can build yoir own. 01:58:35: Personally, I think it would be logical for Dieter Laser to have been a Siamese twin himself. #humancentipede #chaosreigns 02:04:15: Only one more day of #fantasticfest 2009! #chaosreigns 15:10:23: Hausa was such wonderfully hilarious Japanese insanity that it's hard to think of a movie as delightfully crazy. 15:47:08: @TrustTheDust Unlocked iphone 3GS with your existing T-Mobile sim + T-zones is the way to go. Android phones are really good too. 15:56:00: Postponing watching Dirty Mind for now to try and catch up on writing. 18:41:49: Waiting for the final secret screening to seat. 18:47:07: @TrustTheDust Monthly fee difference makes higher upfront costs moot after 3 to 6 months. 19:04:48: Universal Soldiers with Dolph Lundgreen, the director, and the other star. Sigh? 20:42:11: Universal Soldier: A New Beginning is pretty solid. Feels a little bit DTV but there's still some good stuff here. Bring on the Q&A! 21:35:22: And now the last film of Fantastic Fest... Daybreakers. 23:31:37: Daybreakers was pretty great. What happens when 95% of the population are vampires and the blood supply is almost out? 23:43:45: Fantastic Fest 2009 is over, but #chaosreigns Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 09-30-2009 [01 Oct 2009|02:02am] 03:00:18: I was kind of DREADing the last movie of the night. But it was actually pretty solid. 03:49:45: @xionsmith Haha. I loved it. As I'm a lot of people who didn't get in would have as well. http://po.st/BYD 11:47:22: @hlk If it was it'd be in Theater 1. It's in Theater 2 so it's definitely New Moon. 18:03:54: Have seen Sweet Karma and K-20 today so far. Sweet Karma was a good revenge flick and K-20 was a fun superhero epic. 21:12:43: Bare Breasted countess has a poetic/dream like quality too it. So much so I forgot I've already seen it... I thought I dreamt it. 21:21:11: I am about to watch some Avatar sneak preview footage. 21:25:25: Just in case my head explodes after watching this footage, tell my wife I love her. 23:11:32: I'm now officially back to being very optimistic about Avatar. The CGI work is excellent. Alien sweat! 23:15:09: 3D pet peeve: Objects out of focus in the forground. Totally takes me out of the movie. 23:24:40: Sat 30 minutes early + intros + Q&A meant we were there almost 2 hours. But no food service during Avatar preview. Hilarious. #chaosreigns 23:26:29: I'm also really looking forward to the 2D version of Avatar because it's harder to pick up on as much minor detail in 3D. 23:28:46: @DrewAtHitFix You did sound pretty angry. But your point is valid. Games look like Avatar the same way VHS looks like Blu Ray. 23:57:23: And now the film with the highest WTF quotient at #fantasticfest Human Centipede!

From Twitter 09-29-2009 [30 Sep 2009|02:01am] 01:23:35: Rec 2 is very good. The rare sequel that continues the story in a way that makes the original seem even better. 11:10:17: @SceneStealrEric Sounds like Trilogy of Terror 11:59:15: @stomptokyo Haha. Yep. Believe it or not Dr. Parnassus and Men Who Stare at Goats were on my short list for strong... http://po.st/sAG 12:33:47: Happy quarterversary to my darling wife! Three months into marriage and three months left until the second anniversary of our first date. 12:34:30: @leiabox Ninja Assassin, or as I like to call it: Severed Limb Party! 13:25:45: I am about to watch the Kaifek Murder, followed by my first Uwe Boll movie ever. 15:25:04: Kaiefek Murder was pretty good. Is there a law that all European villages must be creepy with lots of secrets? 15:32:34: I guess they didn't teach creepy guys in monster suits to stop, drop, and roll either. 16:07:21: Wow, malevolent floor mats are killing Toyata owners. That would make a good Fantastic Fest movie. #chaosreigns 16:08:57: RT @hlk: I am accepting unwanted Secret Screening 4 tickets. Eager to see AFTER LAST SEASON on the big screen again. Pineapple club 4-eva! 17:39:22: Just watched Uwe Boll's Gus Van Sant's Elephant. The rumors are true. It's actually a good movie. 17:40:40: RT @hlk: I demand a #chaosreigns t-shirt, complete with bell-clad fox, by the time this festival is over. #fantasticfest 17:44:55: This is probably the only Uwe Boll movie that could be considered dangerous. The others are only dangerous if stupidity is contagious. 18:44:23: Time for Crazy Racer! It's going to be Crazy! 20:48:30: Crazy Racer was great. Like a Chinese a Fish Called Wanda 20:54:41: Ninja Assassin should be subtitled Severed Limb Party. It's a ridulously bloody hard-R movie made for teenage boys. 20:57:32: Clans of ninjas who have been a secret for a thousand years only have one thing to fear... A forensic researcher! For Interpol! 20:57:53: Not the Box. 21:01:07: This is a Serious secret screening. 22:47:56: A Serious Man is a very good movie. Not really too much more to say right now. 22:50:29: Jarrette Moats' name received applause when it came up during the credits. Tweets copied by twittinesis.com post comment

From Twitter 09-28-2009 [29 Sep 2009|02:01am] 00:16:26: District 13 sequel closes out the night. Oh and Tim is boxing Uwe Boll tomorrow. 02:01:40: District 13 Ultimatum was awesome. Not as fresh as the first but still great. 02:11:52: If I can fault it for anything it would be its reliance om turning the original into a template for this one. That and no big surprises. 02:45:21: @steverogers12 I imagine its online only. The best thing to do is set an alarm, load up the page, and keep hitting... http://po.st/sAN 10:02:25: It's 10:02 and I'm hitting refresh on the links posted here: http://bit.ly/cOBpN but still nothing coming up for the badges. 10:03:53: Still nothing... #fantasticfest 2010 badges http://bit.ly/cOBpN 10:06:27: @fantasticfest Still can't get anything on the ticket page itself. 10:18:34: Page is up! 2010 VIP badge acquired! http://bit.ly/kbmIe 12:17:14: Just watched the Indonesian flick Merantau. Best straight ahead martial flick of FF this year. Great fights in a slightly dancey style. 13:37:04: Trick 'R Treat was a candy bar stuffed with razor blades. One of the best horror anthologies ever, though admittedly its a thin field. 16:23:25: Time for Mandrill, from the people who brought us Kiltro and Mirageman. 17:56:48: Mandrill was fun. A satirical spy/hitman movie with some good fights and the same great sense of humor that marked their other two movies 18:43:13: About to watch the 80's horror throwback House of the Devil. 21:01:31: House of the Devil is a huge success as a tense horror movie AND an exercise in recapturing the feel of a particular era. #fantasticfest 21:47:26: About to watch Stingray Sam. I have little to no idea what I'm in for. 23:08:44: Stingray Sam was hilarious and witty scifi/western/musical/50's throwback serial. Wonderfully entertaining and highly recommended. 23:27:21: I really need to see the American Astonaut which is from the same creative talent behind Stingray Sam.

From Twitter 09-27-2009 [28 Sep 2009|02:01am] 00:12:50: Survival of the Dead was quite solid and is a worthy Romero Dead movie. Great humor too. 00:16:35: And now the final film of the day 3... Revevant. District 13 sequel, secrect screening 3, and more tomorrow. 02:23:37: The Revenant... Wow. The Best Horror Comedy since Shaun of the Dead and probably my favorite of the Fest so far. 02:58:02: So far the Revenant is the movie I am most looking forward to watching again with friends 17:27:38: Buratino wins by a sucker punch. A Baz Luhrmann like modern fairy tale with looney tune logic. Sublimely goofy. A little short but fun. 19:03:49: About to head Down Terrace! 20:58:58: Down Terrace was good. A bit reminiscent of Burn after Reading mixed with the British Office. 21:03:10: Waiting for the third secret screening to seat. There's a rumor it's the Michael Jackson movie. The new Gilliam film is also a contender. 21:33:36: Secret Screening 3 is... Dammit. They don't want us to tell until after. 23:38:51: Secret Screening 3 just ended--the new Gilliam film. Co-written by Charles McKeown which its explains its similar feel to Mirrormask. 23:41:20: Great to have Gilliam back in old form but someone needs 23:43:32: Oops... Great to have Gilliam back in old form but someone need to take his wide angle lens away. I really liked it though. 23:52:06: This movie definitely feels closest to the Fisher King and Mirrormask so if you like either/both you should be at home here.
