One more pic of Chris Messina at #SIFForty, 'cause why the heck not? http://t.co/L9VsRzP6hR
I interviewed Big Bird: kcts9.org/kcts-9/blog/2014/06/12/i... Yeah. I'm that cool. #NotReally #IAmBigBird #SIFForty
Didn't get much paid work done yesterday, but I organized up a storm, and my mind feels "right" to quote those ubiquitous #SIFForty promos.

Because of #SIFForty, I saw the "Snowpiercer" trailer six+ times. Still irks me that Oscar winner Octavia Spencer doesn't appear in it once.
Even when slightly silly looking, practical monster, gore effects are always more interesting than CGI. Always. #LatePhases #SIFFORTY
So many great dogs in the films at #SIFForty: "Dune," "Tracks," "Babadook," "Calvary," etc. Unfortunately, most

bite it.
Here's hoping #LatePhases does for seniors & werewolves what #CockneysvsZombies did for seniors &, well, zombies. One can dream. #SIFFORTY
"Bound: Africans vs. African Americans" is inspiring a lot of talk. Not just a doc, but a call to action--get to know your roots. #SIFForty
J. McDonagh's "Cavalry" trumps "The Guard" in ambition and suffers for it, but Brendan Gleeson is great as an unflappable priest. #SIFForty
So much I want to say about #HowtoTrainYourDragon2. I'll settle for this: See it at your absolute first opportunity. Immediately. #SIFFORTY
Interviews w/@MarkDuplass & Bonnie Arnold. A #SIFFORTY screening of #HowtoTrainYourDragon2. #LatePhases at midnight. Sounds like a good day.
After "Calvary," I'll have seen three Gleeson films at #SIFForty, including "The Grand Seduction" with Brendan and "Frank" with Domhnall.
I'm undecided on "Late Phases," but for today, I'm planning on John McDonagh's "Calvary" and Diao Yinan's "Black Coal, Thin Ice." #SIFForty
Other than exceptional sound design, terrific lead performance not sure why fuss for Aussie horror #TheBabadook. Didn't scare me.βΉ #SIFFORTY

I liked Chris Messina's debut, "Alex in Venice." My filmgoing companion didn't. Could've used more Derek Luke, but what couldn't? #SIFForty
I'm down with Carl Spence's chocolate brown shoes. #SIFForty http://t.co/Ng8iTs7M20
Peres Owino directed "Bound: Africans versus African Americans." Her debut feature frustrates and enlightens in equal measure. #SIFForty
Wish I had time to interview all the actors and directors in town this weekend, like Chris Messina, Mark Duplass, and Peres Owino. #SIFForty
Tonight's Norwegian film, "It's Only Make Believe," was really good (Silje Salomonsen was terrific). Plays again Fri. at 1:30pm. #SIFForty
Like I'm gonna pass on a film about a pregnant Norwegian ex-con! But sorry to miss "Listen Up, White People." Can't see it all. #SIFForty
Isaiah Washington will be at both screenings of "Bound." #SIFForty
Popping and Locking from Cambodia to Uganda in Hip-Hop Doc "Shake the Dust" #SIFForty slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2014/06/05... via @StrangerSlog
Revisited Lumet's "The Pawnbroker." Fab camera work from Boris Kaufman, great Q score, but Steiger ranges from amazing to awful. #SIFForty
The Great Q at the Harvard Exit with Carl Spence. #SIFForty http://t.co/GY1S3vunr2
Wish I was at the press screening for "The Great Museum," which I wrote about for the SIFF guide, but work calls. Plays 6/3 and 7. #SIFForty
Things I don't say: "Valentines" (My Bloody Valentine) and "Sabs" (Black Sabbath), but Billy Corgan and Dio do! #BeautifulNoise #SIFForty
Taking a break from #SIFForty tonight to catch up on DVD reviews, New York Times movie section, and an episode of "24: Live Another Day."
I look forward to seeing one of Seattle's greatest native sons at "The Pawnbroker" screening (50th anniversary): QUINCY JONES! #SIFForty
