It's a combo post. We start with a random assortment of delightful tweets for those of you who don't use the twitter machine or those who do (it's easy to miss things on twitter. So impermanent!).
This collection features my most popular tweet ever (Spoiler Alert: It's about Best Actress), Joel Grey's coming out, the only Super Bowl tweet that mattered to me as well as a little detour into all time favorite movie villains.
In a related announcement I've updated the Film Bitch Awards with this year's nominees for Best Movie Villain of 2014. It wasn't until I was done writing it that I realized that one could safely say "My what big eyes you have!" to virtually any of them. They range from the literally petrifying Owl Witch (pictured above) in Song of the Sea to the 1/8th* metal Winter Soldier, aka Bucky Barnes gone Russian brainwashed assassin.
*Okay, okay, your arm is probably not an entire 1/8th of your body -- I'm not a scientist!
Here we go...
What the hell willl outgross Jurassic World? Star Wars? So Spielberg and Lucas and American Culture caught in amber. #SuperBowl

Imagine how different Molly Ringwald's career would've been if her mom had let her do BLUE VELVET.

Fine. I'll make my own movie where Mo'Nique plays at least one of the Ghostbusters.

I am more surprised by Joel Grey's homosexuality than my mother is. 2015 is WEIRD.

Joel Grey publicly coming out at 82 is super heartwarming. Don't attempt to spoil his moment with any of that "we knew already" nonsense.

I get criticisms of the Academy's disproportionate whiteness and maleness, but what's wrong with the "old" part? Nothing. How it should be.

DID YOU KNOW that Stanley Tucci is married to Emily Blunt's sister Felicity? What a great family.

#MissyElliott is now trending like she would've been trending back if trending was a thing when she was a thing.

They should announce a sequel to "Groundhog's Day" and then just re-release the original.

SPEAKING OF GROUNDHOG DAY. Have you made your decision about Phil vs. Phil. There's still time to vote whether or not winter is sticking around.

I had intended to keep going but anytime I begin to think about Antonio Banderas in Law of Desire, I need some alone time to collect myself.
OK. Collect yourself over at The Film Bitch Awards. I know it's always slow going but there's new stuff up.
