I was trying to make Sunday the ultimate day of productivity but finally I succumbed to laziness/excitement and just tweeted through the Superbowl. Or, well, half of it at any rate en route to Madonna's much awaited Half Time show.
So let's relive the whole experience right here (in case you aren't following me on Twitter and if you aren't, why the hell not?) since I am too lazy to write up a whole article and there are movie ads and movie references to discuss. Though strangely Madonna's whole Cleopatra inspired entrance didn't occur to me till just now. I was too excited to process anything (still reeling from meeting her).
Below are tweets from me and others.
- my entire adult life I've heard the Oscars referred to as "the gay superbowl"... so I'm trying to watch 'the straight Oscars for the 1st time
- so far it's really boring. they didn't open w' a comedy routine. no beautiful gowns. you can't even see the celebrity faces. (Helmets. Boo!)
- Tom Brady=the prettiest football star of all time! That's an assumption but a confident one.
- I don't like 'The Straight Oscars' ... too many ugly old men, not ANY pretty actresses #GaySuperbowlOnly21DaysAway
- @StevenMCuevas: If the Oscars at the Gay Superbowl and Rooney Mara's dad owns the Giants, does this mean Rooney wins an Oscar?
One of many incomprehensible Battleship images that could be Transformers cutouts
- @ZeitchikLAT: thank you Battleship, for bringing back large-scale, incoherent school of movie advertising.
- It went away?
MORE AFTER THE JUMP
- @HegedusEricC: Must we make movies based on board games like "Battleship" now? Did we not learn from "Clue"
- They couldn't have possibly learned from Clue. They've only seen Michael Bay movies.
If you're trying to hard the "Mars" part, you're doing it wrong!
- I *still* don't get why they dropped "Of Mars" from #JohnCarter I wish I'd been in that meeting because WTF?
- Seriously. I can't get over it. People ONLY go to blockbuster F/X movies so why pull the F/X part of your title?
- @TheresAPlaceForUs: the JOHN CARTER title reminds me of THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET --> HUGO CABRET --> HUGO (-->H?) #DumbitDown
- @JoeReid: Scarlett Johansson, girl, what's that puny little gun gonna do when taxicabs are getting thrown around? #Avengers
MEANWHILE OTHER PEOPLE WERE ALSO WATCHING ONLY FOR MADONNA...
- @Phil_On_Film I haven't the foggiest idea what's going on. I seems somebody has injured their tight end, which sounds painful
- @chriscolfer Wait, which jersey number is Madonna?
- @StanDarde Why are all these guys playing football at the Madonna concert? #Confused
- MADONNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COME TO ME
- You don't want to know how many times I watched "Gimme All Your Luvin'" during the past 48 hours.
- Lingering question. The tightroper walker inches off the ground? Does Madonna secretly love XANADU?
- @hollowchatter Secretly?
- @MarkHarrisNYC: The machine making the sounds coming out of Madonna's mouth has never sounded better.
- @MattRett: Anyone who says Madonna looks "bad" better be motherfucking Michelle Pfeiffer
- @PattonOswalt: Oh my god, they smelted Madonna down into World Peace. We all win!
- @SortaThatBoy: Looks like Madonna fans got what they wanted while Madonna haters were also satisfied. #WorldPeace
- If Tom Brady agrees to play the rest of the game in David Beckham's underwear I'll keep watching... #MadonnaBowl
- @Joannalangfield: Me, too. Can we see the Beckham ad again #ForResearch
Who won? I mean, besides Madonna fans?
