You liked @PrideMovie? Good way to show it is to donate to a charity or NFP that "has nothing to do with you," then think about how it does.

Multiples
One of my favorite things on twitter is when someone gets on a roll on a particular topic (and Broadway goddess Laura Benanti is always on a roll) or when random cinephiles start live-tweeting whatever movie they're watching or thinking about as in these two sets...

Look, it's swell that people love their Marvel movies. But the word that comes to mind with regard to the years-out marketing is "priapism."

— Scare-t Renshaw (@scottrenshaw) October 28, 2014

People don't care about Marvel movies so much as they care about forthcoming Marvel movies. It's an industry of inexhaustible anticipation.
