Tweetweek: Top 5 Scorsese, Olympic Spirit, Light Between Oceans
Saturday, August 13, 2016 at 8:00AM 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...

1. TAXI DRIVER
2. KING OF COMEDY
3. RAGING BULL
4. CAPE FEAR
5. THE DEPARTED
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.

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)

I love Alexandra Raisman. She's got this Hayden Panettiere vibe.
Nat LBTO an y Oscar chances.
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...
Arthur Mariano is cute; too bad he was suspended last year for racial remarks toward his black teammate.. Sigh:((
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.
Laurie Hernandez saying "I got this" made me tear up for some reason:
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.

1. Taxi driver

3. The departed
4. The age of innocence
5. The wolf of wall street
