Before we get to the past week in contemporary cinema tweeting, let's take a moment to check in with the Tilly sisters, Jennifer and Meg who were visiting their mom in Canada...

This tweet made me so happy. I think because I had just randomly scene The Fabulous Baker Boys again on Cinemax and Jennifer is so funny in it as "Blanche/Monica". I like to fantasize that in private Jennifer and Meg call each other by their full titles, like...
Jennifer: Yum. What kind of pies are we having tonight Oscar Nominated Actress Meg Tilly?
Meg: Well Oscar Nominated Actress Jennifer Tilly I made a bunch. Pecan, Apple...
Tweet Randomness starring The Revenant, Carol, Star Wars, and more after the jump
RANDOMNESS
"What's good, Miley?", except just asking for her Top Ten list.

Michael Mann once explained to me his theory that we only really "experience" films after the fact of watching them. Very true for me.

You can't rush true love. You have to wait patiently, in the woods, covered in deer piss and then shoot it and use its blood for rituals

Twitter polls only allow four answers because it knows that, with five, we gays would crash the service rearbitrating every Oscar race ever.

3) Rooney Mara, in a Santa Claus hat, watching and watching and watching Cate Blanchett as if learning a new language in Carol.

I can't wait for "A Muppet Carol" in which a bored 1950s housewife Miss Piggy seduces a shopgirl played by Janice. pic.twitter.com/jdrfncjge3

HAVE YOU HEARD THAT MAKING THE REVENANT WAS LIKE SUPER DUPER HARD? A VERITABLE LIVING HELL?
"Leonardo DiCaprio gained six pounds and had to talk to several clingy extras while filming #The Revenant."

Things Leo tastes like: Money. The North Atlantic. Red Carpets. Pussy. Fear. …what’s that (?) "Raw Bison Liver"? Naaaah.

I really hope they don't try to bring the bear from THE REVENANT to awards shows Uggie-style. That won't end well... pic.twitter.com/DJI2VPYdiz

STAR WARS:
THE FORCE WON'T GO BACK TO BED...
Random thought after seeing STAR WARS: Lupita N’yongo was good as the love child of Linda Hunt & the girl who calls Peppermint Patty “sir”.
