Twit 2011 - Buzz Talk & News

Man, if I would have finished this on the bus ride home yesterday, I could have actually said I was caught up with TWIT. Instead, I went and saw not one, but two movies at Kendall Square last night.Still, the plan is going to be to keep up with this...

A busy couple of weeks, getting ready for Christmas. Not that I put up lights or anything, but the niece population has doubled, and while they don't necessarily have a lot in common, it turns out that they all like presents.Also, cold makes it hard...

A week or two seeing a lot of movies here, a foreign-language class there, and suddenly I find myself ridiculously far behind on the blog. Let's see how quickly it's possible to catch up!Table of contents:24 October 2011 - 30 October 201131 October...

10am movies, a really World Series that is pretty exciting despite the lack of Red Sox involvement, and a desire to grill one last time before winter shut that down for good account for a reasonably slow week for me at the cinemas:Plus, I picked up a...

A busy moviegoing week:Did I deliberately miss the bus last Thursday because it's much easier to make it downtown for screenings of Margaret and Love Crime (on their last day in town) when working from home in Cambridge than it is from the office in...

Since this was a relatively quiet week in which I wrote up a blog post for everything I saw, this is more or less a collection of pointers and excuses for there not being more:No ticket: Ocean Heaven (screener DVD in my living room on 7 October, abou...

Ah, a busy weekend of seeing movies. The week was mostly consumed with watching the end of the Red Sox' kind-of-amazing collapse. Exhausting sports fandom, but I recovered enough to treat myself a little on my birthday weekend:Let me tell you, I di...

I swear, this is not an "I want to get TWIT done quickly" reaction to falling so far behind before:The company that I work for has been in the process of being acquired for the last what-seems-like-an-insanely-long-time, and last week there...

For the thing that I tend to think of as the signature element of this blog, This Week has certainly gotten away from me a few times. When festival time starts up again next year, I'm going to have to figure out how to not let that happen.No film fe...

So here's the deal: I'm in Montreal, want to write up the stuff I saw last night, have written most of this up already, and the ones I haven't are IMAX featurettes. Let's blow through this quickly, OK?That last week of June looks a lot busier than...

So here I was, not intending to let a film festival get me ridiculously far behind like it did for BUFF, but somehow this took even longer, as the graphs in this post show, the longer the festival, the wider the distance between finishing the movie a...

I've been getting behind on these, so it's time to catch up. Writing up BUFF took a ridiculous amount of time, so these kept getting pushed back, and back, and back, until four weeks get bound up in one post. So here's a little table of contents; a...

I would just like to say, to all those reading who may have attended the Chlotrudis awards or found the musical number on YouTube, that I did not attempt to nominate The Human Centipede: First Sequence for "Best Ensemble Cast". I haven't e...

I strongly suspect that Adrianne Palicki will never have as perfect a role as she has in Women in Trouble and Elektra Luxx, and I suspect that Sebastian Guitierrez's annual movie with Carla Gugino at SXSW this year suffered for her absence:Not only w...
