Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 8:00AM It's time for another roundup of tweets that amused provoked or told it like it was this week...

Though we've been talking about Diane Keaton a bit to celebrate her AFI Lifetime Achievement Award they don't broadcast such things live (boo!). So you can bet we'll return to that particular celebration after the ceremony airs. It's scheduled for this Thursday June 15th at 10 PM ET/PT on TNT and will have an encore presentation on TCM on July 31st. Excited?
More tweets featuring The Babadook, Hollywood's "Chris" fetish, and more are after the jump...
I would love it if Christian Bale rebranded as Chris Bale, just to see what happened

I also watched the entirely of "Beauty and the Beast" last night, which was terrible but I was invested to see HOW BAD they could make it.

This is Killmonger. Erik Killmonger. It's his name and his vocation. And his first recorded kill? DAT LOOK. pic.twitter.com/VHDDgzXRPL

Imagine dating someone and two years into it you find out they like Antz better than A Bug's Life

Hey kids, if you want to read a really good book all about Brexit, check out Howards End by E.M. Forster. Some excellent insights there.

I could delete that, but it's my bad tweet and I am going to own it.

I'm straight up gonna start using the accent Ann Dowd uses on The Handmaid's Tale for everything. And maybe wear a cape. (Definitely a cape)

The Babadook isn't gay until he alienates straight friends & colleagues by going on & on about Carly Rae Jepsen

Great thing about being gay: we've survived so much bullshit that we now effortlessly turn terrifying monsters into gay icons for fun: pic.twitter.com/dOrF0N12fy

I've watched that Babadook/RuPaul's Drag Race a dozen times, and can't stop laughing. "I'm 437 years old, and don't have a heartbeat". DEAD.
Can someone please explain the Badabook as gay icon thing to me, I'm lost....
JB -- here is a good article on it.
