Tweetweek: Dumbo, Depp, Ghostbusters
It's a tie for Tweet of the week with the first win going to cartoonist Lucy Knisley for her sudden Mrs Jumbo tweet flurry... but there's more to come including Isabelle Huppert, Helen Hunt, Game of Thrones, Bridesmaids, and Michael Fassbender after the jump...
Tweet of the Week Part 1
Is Dumbo's mom a Disney princess? Is she the first wrongfully imprisoned princess, persecuted for mental illness? IS SHE THE BEST ONE!?

Elephant gestation is 2 yrs. If I had to be pregnant for 2 yrs, I'd want a flying baby and a princess title AT THE VERY LEAST. #FreeMrsJumbo

Tweet of the Week Part 2
The perfect 'ignorance is bliss' coping mechanism for this weekend at the movies! You know why.
The only Through the Looking Glass I care about is the book Jamie Lee Curtis wrote in Freaky Friday. pic.twitter.com/2NpRSLNn23

AND THE REST...
Between ELLE and THINGS TO COME, Isabelle Huppert has given 2 stupendous performances in 3 months. Reminder: she has zero Oscar nominations.

Random thought: If they don't call the Bridesmaids sequel Bridesmaids Revisited, everyone should be fired.

People are calling the new GHOSTBUSTERS a "cash grab" because GHOSTBUSTERS II and all the cartoons were such highbrow arthouse films.

Dear Journalists: Let's just assume that every actor will say "Yes" if you ask them if they'd want to play James Bond or a superhero.

I will always remember X-MEN: APOCALYPSE as the movie where Olivia Munn wanders around Auschwitz in a ninja bathing suit.

Celebrity Tweets
Kicking things off with Helen Hunt. This happens to celebrities so often (have you seen that commercial where Benicio Del Toro is over being assumed to be Antonio Banderas?) so how famous is anyone really
Ordered my drink @Starbucks Asked the barista if she wanted my name. She winked and said. "We gotcha" #JodieFoster pic.twitter.com/ItjBZoJzP2

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that Fasby is Plummer young. The circld nevet ends.
Say that, where is out YOUNG JULIE ANDREWS?????
Out = our
Even Depp's marriages are insufferable.
Alice 2 has been projected to earn $55-60 million and X-Men Apocalypse $80. I'd honestly guess those counts will wind up $20 million too high in both cases.
I will join your support group Nathaniel.
Cheeseburger? Britney appears to be experiencing a different sandwich in that photo.
Once Depp is officially on the market again and can't afford to let himself go anymore, can he STOP dressing like a gay wind chime?
I thought that was Helen Hunt's urine sample.
RobMiles -ewww
RobMiles: If that's urine (it's not), that's not a "sample", it's a Lex cup. (That BvS actually did that will never not be absolutely insane.)
Jezebel called that Helen Hunt tweet as peak twitter. I think it's peak Starbucks.
Young Christopher Plummer is a HUNK. Thank god we get a modern version now.
And can we all make a pact to watch the new Ghostbusters, so that it can be a huge hit and shut up those childish haters?
