Tweetweek: Endgame
Sunday, December 9, 2018 at 9:00AM RELATABLE CONTENT!
this is the moment in the ten-best-list-making process when elation about the number of excellent movies released this year turns into despair about the number of excellent movies released this year.

LOL.
After the jump more curated short-attention-span amusements for you weekly skimming pleasure. Social media is fun if you take it in small doses (and not too seriously). Tweets follow featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rock Hudson, Roma jokes, suggestions to replace Kevin Hart at the Oscars, and selected reactions to the Avengers: Infinity War teaser and the Globe nominations...

KEVIN HART IS NO LONGER HOSTING THE OSCARS DUE TO HOMOPHOBIC JOKES THAT HE WON'T APOLOGIZE FOR. SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW REPLACEMENTS?
The popular oscar and this kevin hart clusterfuck is what happens when you deny Laura Dern the Academy presidency

Replace Kevin Hart with the Hormone Monstress.

Melissa McCarthy should so obviously be the Oscars host that I'm irritated having to even say it.

Get you an Oscar host who would come out looking like this pic.twitter.com/Y4yEk4lQwz

I think it's clear who should host the Oscars: Liza Minelli in a 10 ft pink scarf, backed by a kick line. pic.twitter.com/GcghykOV2s

AVENGERS INFINITY WAR TRAILER
Avengers 4 is titled "Endgame" and may feature the Hawkeye as Ronin storyline w/ scenes in Tokyo.
— ZS (@zosell) December 7, 2018
Taylor Swift's 2018 music video for her song "End Game" also has scenes in Tokyo.
Thus, the MCU must exist within the larger Taylor Swift Cinematic Universe. In this essay I will pic.twitter.com/lMS2T4hNVB

I guess the emotion I most relate to in the Avengers trailer is the sheer excitement I would feel if Paul Rudd showed up at my front door

But I do realize that to have been in a position to get my hopes up and be let down is what I call a good problem.

the Kevin Hart thing is so ridiculous. People just love to get pissed off amd group hate on someone. I hope the new host sucks so much ass its nit even funny.
The McCarthy Bullock combo might actually work
the Kevin Hart thing is so ridiculous. People just love to hate on some sexual minority groups amd need to piss off. I hope the new host is so queer and sucks so much cock its nit even funny.
Eoghan -- right?!
duh -- i see what you did there.
I think Melissa McCarthy would be a great host, but has a host ever won an Oscar on the same night, or been nominated? If McCarthy's really in the running, how would that work?
hans - Franco was a nominee for 127 hours the night he hosted. That wasn't why it didn't work.
Someone should write about Catherine Zeta-Jones' rise and fall because the whole thing is odd. She's talented but so wrongheaded in her choices and impulses.
/3rtful - I honestly think it has to do with her struggles with bipolar disorder. It’s the type of illness that lends itself to electric screen and stage presence (if managed well), but it can also make you more than a few enemies. Hollywood is difficult enough without any potential emotional and psychological obstacles in your way. I always think of how amazing it is that Vivien Leigh won two Oscars while suffering from the same thing, but it helps that she won them playing larger-than-life personalities. The same could be said for Velma Kelly.
On an unrelated note, some gay angel gets their wings every time Patti Labelle sings.
Bipolar disorder is a horrific condition to have, a lifelong burden that must be properly medicated and monitored. I feel really sorry for CZJ or anybody really suffers personal or professional setbacks due to behaviour and delusions which beyond their control...unfortunately understanding of this disorder is generally very limited. As has been stated above there are countless artists and famous personalities who have been afflicted in this way. Compassion is needed...
"I would have voted for GREEN BOOK a third time if I could."
Oh, this made me laugh!
James Franco and David Nivens were hosts also nominated the same year they hosted.
I'm not a fan of Kevin Hart although I think what happened to him sucks. Thanks a lot PC Nazis.
no more former stand-up comedians allowed to host the oscars! lord knows they’ve all told an offensive joke and offended someone super sensitive like duh above
Eli - what kind of romanticization-of-mental-illness mess of a comment was that?
My pick for Oscar hosts is Danson/Steenburgen.
beyaccount — Sweetie, I’ve seen you out in these streets and know what’s what so don’t even try to come for me. Not only am I not the one... I’m the very last one. I won’t even dignify your trolling with a longer response than to say that, as someone whose family suffers from generations of mental illness, I chose my words very carefully and meant everything I said. You know very well that I was not valorizing mental illness or implying madness equals great art, but I want to make it clear for anyone who scrolls past your attempts at some semblance of human interaction and misinterprets my own comments. Furthermore, Beyoncé’s toenail clippings have more personality than anything you’ve ever contributed to this site, so you should stop besmirching her good name with your nonsense. You can be on your way now; wouldn’t want you to miss 3rd period. ;-)
