Tweetweek: Garry Marshall, Political Chaos, and Lots of Ghostbusters

Randomness. Sensory overload. Once I started I couldn't stop. Much amusement, a little fright, and beauty after the jump from the world of showbiz and its prisoners... 

"Am I the ONLY ONE who doesn't care about __?" Yes. It is you alone in the great stark wilderness, you brave, rugged Jack London protagonist

Why didn't Rose Byrne win her second Oscar for SPY. (Her first would have been for BRIDESMAIDS)

I don't want to hear your opinion on the new "Ghostbusters" unless you can name ten other Sigourney Weaver movies.

POLITICS
It's tough to avoid of late. Can't wait until the conventions are over. 

Our GOP nominee for President of the United States, Mammon.
And may I present Mammon's running mate, Pharisee.

"We're going to get/take our country back" is so loathsome and frightening. It was never taken from you. And it was never yours.

CELEBRITY BEAUTY
Our occasional contributors Nick Davis and Amir Soltani met up in Toronto -- hey, they're celebrities to The Film Experience community so it's worth including  -- I am honored to call them both my friends. Also I am pissed I wasn't there but TIFF isn't until September so reunions must wait.

With the lovely @NicksFlickPicks on his short stay in Toronto. (Matching shirts, v-neck & chest hair was unplanned.) pic.twitter.com/egrKljOPsF

@melissamccarthy is the strongest woman in the world, often in moments of joy she would pick me up like this and the combination of her powerful grip on my foot and my incredible core strength we would hold this pose for hours sometimes days. Go check out @ghostbusters in cinemas now !! #ghostbusters #strongwomen #teamwork

CELEBRITIES REMEMBER GARRY MARSHALL
He was quite beloved in Hollywood. And gave so many actors their first opportunities...

The world has lost a great man. Garry Marshall was one of the kindest, funniest, and loving human beings on the planet. When I moved out to LA after college to be an actor no one would give me a chance. Garry took me in under his wing at the Falcon Theater. He gave me work, a second home and a group of friends that will last a lifetime. I am devastated that he is gone but will spend my whole life aspiring to be the kind of man he was in this business and in life. I love you Garry. Rest in peace.

Our beloved Garry Marshall has passed today. Our family will miss him so much. His humor, his humanity, and his love. Thank you for Overboard. Thank you for being such a special human. Rest in peace, dear one.

Garry Marshall gave me one of the best experiences I ever had in my career. Thanks pal. RIP

Garry Marshall. 💔 What a gem of a man. He was just the kindest, the most patient, the most human and so, so wildly funny. He also did me me the favor of a lifetime and gave me my very first job (at 16) on "The Princess Diaries". Thank you for all the glorious means of laughing and crying and feeling whole and connected, Garry. Sending love to his family 💗💗💗 (ps: I couldn't find a picture so here's one from the set of that film w Julie and Anne)

Garry Marshall hired me at 15 years old. He gave my wife her start at 18, as a makeup artist. He changed our lives. And MANY others. #love

I will never forget he called me and said "this is Gary Marshall from show business " I saved that message for years. We lost an icon

Garry Marshall, I am forever indebted to you. Thank you for taking a chance on me. I love you. On the wings on Angels, rest now.

I couldn’t sleep last night. The moon was too bright and my heart was too full of fresh grief at Garry’s passing. I went outside and sat in the absurd blue-white bath of moon, surprised to see my night shadow, I thought, “Garry left on a good night.” This morning, I got a text from Heather Matarrazzo saying “Of course Garry left on a full moon.” If you know Garry, that he went out when there should be darkness and instead there is full, rare, magic light, is too perfect to be coincidence. It’s so him. Garry was goodness itself. He was generous. He was kind beyond kind. He was thoughtful and sweet and so funny you would pee yourself a little. I met him when I was a child who thought she was a grown-up; he treated me with grace and patience and respect and always, always love. I’m so happy I made three films with him. I’m so happy he blessed my son in my belly the last time I saw him (we never think it will be the last time). Before we made the Princess Diaries, he told me “You never know if a movie is going to be a hit or not. The only thing you can control is the memories you make when shooting it. So, let’s make some good memories.” That advice changed my life even more than the film did. I wish I could say I practice that perfectly, but I can't. Garry loved my rough patches too, and forgave them before I even apologized. He wasn’t interested in judgement or non-plot related conflict. He just wanted to have fun and laugh and do good work. He was so, so smart and canny, and yet he lived entirely from his heart. That’s how he made movies too. You don’t meet a lot of people that kind of courageous nowadays. I couldn’t see it when he was right in front of me, but I see him so clearly now that he has moved on- Garry was a Hero. Not a run-into-a-burning-building-to-save-a-hampster hero per se, but he looked on the bright side of every situation and was unfailingly warm and loving to everyone he met. How simple. How extraordinary. Garry: for a kid from the Bronx with weak lungs, you did good. I’m happy to have known you. I can never thank you enough for my life. I’m going to do my best to be just like you. I love you. Safe travels, my friend.

Nick and Amir are HOT

[BD]

Haaay Amir and Nick!

I'm dying to talk about the new Rocky Horror trailer. Looks heinous.

[brookesboy]

That pic of Julie and Anne with Garry is breathtaking...sigh.

[Jennifer 1994]

Trump made Melania a star - what he wanted - with that copygate,
a bait taken by the net.
Hope the internauts praise the Hillary Convention
like they did with the Trumpence one.

[Peggy Sue]

Considering how many greats we have lost this year, I'm amazed by the outpouring love for Garry Marshall.

[LadyEdith]

@Peggy Sue - Marshall was that rare human being who truly was a nice guy.

While watching political events I find myself missing Molly Ivins (died in 2007) most dreadfully..

"It probably sounded better in its original German." - Molly Ivins on Pat Buchanan's speech at the #RNC in 1992 (#RNCinCLE is nothing new)
Giuliani and Trump sounded like Goebbels and Mussolini.

[Craver]

Amir is HAWT

[brookesboy]

Hi Nick, you look great!

[marcelo]

one of the best jokes re: melania was her picture at the convention and the sentence "I invented post-its!" over it.

[Jaragon]

Chris Hemsworth should do more comedies.

[Adam Lewis]

I just feel the need to add to the Amir is hot thread!!!

[Kritika Singh]

really love to see the info dear
