Tweet Things 2
Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 9:45AM It's our weekly curated collection of a dozen or so showbiz-related tweets we think you might enjoy. Some are true and some are funny like these two.
Watch movies from before you were born. It's good for you.

Guy at work orientation today: What was the most pirated movie last year? Hint. Blockbuster. Main character dressed in red?

Me: JACKIE.
And others just make us smile.
There's more after the jump involving Richard Burton's diaries, Meet Me in St Louis, The Snowman, Winona Ryder, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and more. But first how's this for an FYC plug? I mean is Sarah Paulson's asking us, we're considering...
Someone give @noah_schnapp every award for his truly extraordinary work on @Stranger_Things like, NOW @goldenglobes @TheEmmys @SAGawards 🙌🏼 pic.twitter.com/xnDV8Wps1r

on to miscellania...
Oct 24 75 Made superb love to E in the afternoon. Gets better all the time if that's possible. Felt heavy weight of man's guilt at intervals. Very Celtic and Scandinavian. Thought about death too much. Much staring....

Three Billboards is kind of remarkable. Funny, scary, touching, profound & I was unprepared for how necessary it is in very unexpected ways.

I think Margaret O'Brien's character in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS grows up to be queer

I like Stranger Things, but that show isn't set in the 80s. It's set in 80s movies. The Duffer Brothers are too young to remember the 80s.

Winona Ryder - Imagine being iconic enough that you can be your past self for Halloween. Love her. pic.twitter.com/HbbP7XhQQ7

THE SNOWMAN is more deserving of a drunken oral history than any other film in recent memory. It’s historically bad but fascinating.

Cancel the Oscars and just have a night where we give all the awards to Three Billboards.

If you see Lady Bird this weekend, please tweet at me about whether you would have been Team Danny or Team Kyle in high school.

The A24 questionnaire for Lady Bird does not have “my gay friend brought me” as an option so how useful can it be

Me on Oct. 31 vs Me on Nov. 1 pic.twitter.com/pUaJ1EcZLy

Don't tell me Oscars season is boring when we're getting a three-month Civil War reenactment between Allison Janney and Laurie Metcalf.

Erm, NOT Sondheim’s latest, and this is NOT the plot! @MetroUK pic.twitter.com/eg2BnAI3xG

is LADY BIRD one of the best films of the year, or *the* best film of the year? guess i’m gonna have to see it 5 more times for research.

Just walked out my front door, screamed "I love Jane Fonda," walked back inside and opened a beer.
— Kendra Alvey (@Kendragarden) October 26, 2017
Regarding the latter. Doesn't everyone do that at least once a month, with or without the beer?

Winona doesnt age. She, along with Jared Leto and Halle Berry, must have sold her soul top the devil or she has a painting hidden somewhere....
Its impressive but spooky and bizarre at the same time.
Miss Ryder has very good genes- and I agree with Mr Hidalgo- there is a century of cinema out there people lots of treasures to discover
It’s even more fun to watch movies from before your parents were born. “Would my grandmother have watched/liked this?”
Haven’t finished ST2 yet but agree about the actor. When he got taken early after that remarkable performance in the abduction scene in S1 I was like: “so, wait, we have to watch the whole rest of the show without him?!” The othe boys just didn’t compare.
Side note, this season of ST2 makes me wonder (along with IT) why attractive ginger “loser” girls are fashionable right now? Is this cultural spillover from Julianne Moore’s oscar win?
Thanks for these roundups. Don’t have twitter but I do enjoy clever things!
Oh man I probably would've crushed on both Danny and Kyle in high school. Pretty sure I did actually.
Also I'm super into Janney vs. Metcalf. Either way, we all win.
I was lucky enough to score preview tix for "Lady Bird" so I am seeing it tomorrow (it doesn't open here for another few weeks.)
"Three Billboards..." opens here 17th, I'm waiting.
