Before you click ahead to see this week's collection of tweeted amusements, take a moment to appreciate the perfection of this visual postcard from our podcast mate Nick Davis. He's on vacation in New Zealand doing Holly doing The Piano on THE beach where it happened. His all time favorite film so I mean. It couldn't be more perfect, except that he neglected to contact Janet Patterson about a hoop skirt. After the jump Babs, Florence Foster Jenkins, Passengers, Jackie, Natalie Portman and more...

MOONLIGHT is a good movie. LA LA LAND is also a good movie. More than one movie can be good at the same time.

Meryl's filmography:
— Louis Virtel (@louisvirtel) December 12, 2016
'70s: Icy divorcees
'80s: Devastated people with accents
'90s: Salt of the Earth
2000s-now: You won't believe this wig

Weird that so much of Film Twitter freaks out over franchise reshoots. I guess they've never made a film.
