Tweetweek: Top 5 Scorsese, Olympic Spirit, Light Between Oceans

This weeks collection of short amusements features Olympians, a little Scorsese mania (it was going around for reasons we have yet to discover), an impossible dream of a Ghostbusters sequel, and my first impression of The Light Between Ocean which is out soon. It's all after the jump but we'll start with Scorsese...

Seeing all #Top5Scorsese tweets today I don't get how THE DEPARTED ever gets up that high. That, and how's its a gateway to better Scorsese.

— Pax Tobi Ogunyemi (@spaceliontobi) August 11, 2016

The point is it was a fun exercise as most nerdy fan dives are. Consider this mic drop... 

Okay then, General Tweetage

We think of 90 minutes as pretty short for a movie these days, yet I see so many that length that would still play better at 75.

The only reason for a Ghostbusters sequel is the odd chance that it might just be a Carol remake starring Kate McKinnon and Sigourney Weaver

and a sneak peek at LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS

Caught LIGHT BTWN OCEANS earlier this week. Have no idea why i wasn't looking forward to it. Fassy & Vikander have palpable aching chemistry

— Nathaniel Rogers (@nathanielr) August 7, 2016

The Cinematography is... gah! So beautiful. #LightBetweenOceans (Adam Arkapaw is the DP, prev: Animal Kingdom, Macbeth, Top of the Lake)

and we'll end with Olympic Mania...

I love Alexandra Raisman. She's got this Hayden Panettiere vibe.

[mark]

Nat LBTO an y Oscar chances.

[kermit_the_frog]

Nat - I am shocked and disappointed that The Age Of Innocence didn't make your Top 5 Scorsese...

Low-key hoping that you forgot it was a Scorsese film, like I often do...

[Drew]

Arthur Mariano is cute; too bad he was suspended last year for racial remarks toward his black teammate.. Sigh:((

[catbaskets]

Yay Laurie Hernandez! Excited to see more greatness from her. So thrilled for the "final five" gymnastics ladies.

It's interesting that 3 or 4 male movie critics in a row prefaced their scorcese 5 with basically "I'm too cool and self-aware for this, but here it is, if you care." A shining testament to the need for diversity in film criticism! ;)

Wonder if Tulip Fever's move was in spired at all by the buzz on Light Between? Excited to see it.

[Cyd Charrise]

Laurie Hernandez saying "I got this" made me tear up for some reason:

[Craver]

OMG Sally Kirkland lol where the hell did you go? Of course she showed up in an AMPAS screening wearing that outfit!
I would actually care about the Olympics if every sport has CATS in it.
My top 5 scorsese:
1. Taxi driver
2. The aviator
3. The departed
4. The age of innocence
5. The wolf of wall street
