Winnie The Tweets
Friday, April 3, 2015 at 3:00PM 
It's our semi-weekly collection of Most Awesome Tweets if you don't have twitter or you can't possibly catch everything. The topic of the week was the bizarre news about a live action redo of Winnie the Pooh (after the jump)...
Mad Men's return is also reigniting Mad Men mania and you should expect the next seven weeks online to be Mad Men Manic. Question: can AMC's awards campaign PR team keep the heat on for an Emmy Farewell/Comeback?
Let's start with some real creative fan commitment -- a full manicure set!

Tweets on Winnie the Pooh and more after the jump...
It's now impossible to watch "Babylon" in #MadMen's first season without wondering if Midge ever went to see Llewyn Davis at the Gaslight.

I always feel bad for serial killers when victims escape because it's hard to find people who are your type.

I can believe this RT @UberFacts: #RyanReynolds failed his high school drama class.

Just a reminder that SOME OF US have smelled what The Rock has been cooking since the late 1990s, and for the record it has always been ham.

Dreamt that Chris Farley was the lead in Interstellar instead of McConaughey.

I miss Agent Carter so much already. Please let there be a second season. Best superhero-related show on television. It will soon have more competition of course.
Finally let's talk...
WINNIE THE POOH
you may have heard the news that Disney will be making a live action version of Winnie the Pooh to be directed by Alex Ross Perry (Listen Up Philip). This news was not an April Fools joke. And it is so strange / wrong that it set off all sorts of confused amused and horrified tweets including an imaginary list of future animated films gone live action by artistically incongruent auteurs -- i missed some of the best ones but it's hard to retreive tweets later if you don't know who wrote them. Did you know twitter.com only lets you scroll back one day through your feed? Boo. This is why you should favorite or RT tweets you like. So that you always have access to them.
It would be a mistake to mention this live-action Winnie-the-Pooh to me. Don't even reply to this tweet. Comments disabled, etc. #EndofDays

Someone please explain to me what "live action Winnie the Pooh" means. That means motion capture, right? It has to. How could it not?

If a waiter doesn't want to know all my feelings about a live action Winnie the Pooh, he shouldn't ask, "How's everybody doing over here?"

"Here's a movie without a single remotely likable or decent person in it. Let's see what this guy does with Winnie the Pooh."

Well, if this gets us any closer to Wes Anderson making THE SWORD IN THE STONE with Schwartzman and Murray, I guess I'm okay with it.

What do you make of this Winnie The Pooh news?

Derek Cianfrance's "The Parent Trap".
LOL
I want the Bambi remake a la SNL with the Rock as Bambi. So wrong it was so right.
Well, I hate it about as much as I hate the fact that Peanuts/Charlie Brown is getting a computer animated remake/release this November.
I think the Winnie the Pooh movie may have been thanks to the success of Paddington. But the director choice though, geesh.
Nicolas Winding Refn's Sleeping Beauty.
Michael Bay's Snow White and the Seven Transformers.
Terrence Malick's Pocahontas.
Oh wait.
Edwin -- HEE.
Henry -- ohmygod. dont give them any ideas. They are trying to make The Transformers into a "universe" with spinoff films now. yikes.
Pedro Almodovar's FINOCCHIO
Terry Gilliam's Princess and the Frog
I believe Alex Ross Perry is only *writing* the movie at this stage. I think. I'm not entirely sure. Either way, it was strange, but I'm choosing to embrace it. I mean, I never would've thought BABE could come from the people that it did, and yet...
Plus, if it means he can now finance several more LISTEN UP PHILIPs then I am fine. Everyone sells out sometime.
I think that a live-action Winnie-the-Pooh is a crime against nature...but hey, if it gets Andy Serkis his first acting Oscar!
