Twit 2019 - Buzz Talk & News

Just posted the pages for BUFF, so obviously the ones which include IFFBoston 2019 are next. This three-week period actually started off with heading out to another series, the Belmont World Film Festival, for Asako I & II on Monday, 25...

It's January 2020 and I just realized I left some big holes in this part of the blog, including this one. Not a lot of movies seen while I was on vacation, but a lot of tickets purchased! As you may remember, I spent much of February doing ma...

Did we all have a great holiday? Here's hoping so, whether it involved movies or not! It was a bit of an odd schedule for me, as I took the day off work Monday and then spent a lot of time lying around rather than actually finishing my Christmas...

All that blank space? Totally going out to get presents for others, not just making my way through the new season of The Expanse at all. Still, The Expanse is pretty great, isn't it? I"ve been trying to make it last by just watching one ev...

Enjoy my week of seeing movies and losing things! Like, start with the stub to Little Joe. Just not in my pocket when I got home, and I don't know that I was pulling things in and out of that pocket enough on the way home that it could have slip...

Two different bits of "catching up" this week! To start with, I finally saw Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite, which I feel like I should have caught earlier, but it's one of those that is just long enough to get scheduled at weird times. It is,...

Working from home is no fun and I'm glad I'm done with it for a while, barring snow. It does lead to some interesting scheduling like we saw at the start of the last few weeks, where I headed to the Brattle for the very nifty The Last of Sheila a...

I'm not going to lie, I'm disappointed in myself for how my moviegoing plans didn't match with my achievements this week This was the first of a couple weeks working from home because my massive employer didn't arrange things so that we'd be able...

A couple busy weeks and I fall behind like crazy. But they're fun, crazy weeks. Halloween week was a fun one because I got to bounce around a bunch of different venues for unusual shows. Monday (the 28th), for instance, Emerson's Films fr...

Hurrah for finally seeing things which everybody almost certainly would assume I've seen already! That probably doesn't include Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which had more 3D screenings at Boston Common than I would have expected from how they'v...

You ever wind up running late for a movie, slinking home frustrated, and then feeling weirdly vindicated when you really need to go to the bathroom right smack in the middle of when the movie would be? No, me neither. Moviegoing time was also cu...

There's a part of me that wants to apologize for pages with this much white on them, but you can't treat your hobby like it's a job. I am kind of in a bad cycle of staying up too late, using too much caffeine to get through the workday and not re...

My job pays me money that I spend on movies, but on occasion gets in the way of seeing them, as when they send me to some Dallas-area parking lot with a building in the middle for the better part of a week so that I can sit in on three hours or so of...

Unless I have a weird impulse to get to the ballpark one last time, this is my last trip to Fenway of the year, and at least it's memorable. Tough to end on a more memorable game than this one, though - picked up a bobblehead, saw the grandson of...
