I have to begin this week's tweet roundup with this amazing find from Scott Feinberg - a press clipping about Citizen Kane on Oscar night and the room reaction to every mention of the film.

Crazy, right? The politics of the moment are always so hard to properly contextualize after the fact when it comes to art that endures.

More entertainment tweets ahead but first a joyous announcement from our friend and podcast mate Katey Rich...

There are days, not all of them but some, yes some days, when I miss Rachel Berry's covers.

@mattzollerseitz How dare you suggest that many filmmakers excel at one thing, and not at others. Art is an ALL OR NOTHING proposition!

The best things in life are free, but are you really living if you don't try out all of the super expensive stuff too?

Shelley Duvall in 3 Women is perfect, one of best/most interesting performances of the 1970s pic.twitter.com/YaGzkZ3g35

Isn't #frozen about the dangers of trusting a fluffy haired charlatan out to take a kingdom away from a woman? pic.twitter.com/9YWSyQLHfj

It's funny because it's true.

1998:
- Don't get in strangers' cars
- Don't meet ppl from internet

2016:
- Literally summon strangers from internet to get in their car
