Tweets: Movies that should be TV shows, QT fun, Minority Report ages

SO RELATABLE 

We stopped doing weekly tweet roundups but nevertheless, it's fun to share highlights from time to time for those that don't use twitter (and because it's so easy to miss hilarious tweets or interesting little provocations or takes. So every once in a while we feel the need to share a batch. Hope you enjoy the round-up after the jump which includes Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Minority Report, Weekend, Christopher Nolan, and two very fascinating questions for the room (if you're reading we assume you love the movies lots) so please answer 'em in the comments...

PERFECT JOKES FOR PEOPLE WHO GET THE REFERENCES

 

RANDOMNESS

 

 

FINALLY - TWO QUESTIONS FOR THE ROOM
This cartoon challenge sparked some really passionate responses on Twitter. It turns out that most critically not well received movies I personally love at least scored in the 50% range like Marie-Antoinette (2006). So my personal answers are I'm So Excited (2013) which is minor Almodóvar but still hilarious and Birth (2004) which is brilliant. What would your answer be? 

 

 

The following question that will end with brought out tons of good serious answers and funny ones like Baby Boom "Diane Keaton just puts different things in jars each week" - my personal answer would be Shortbus (2006) to get more sex-positivity out there

A Shortbus TV show would be brilliant! It would also drive rightwingers crazy. Maybe John Cameron Mitchell is listening...?

Biggs -- the possibilities are endless and it would avoid the problems of so many TV shows in that it wouldn't be about the plot so it could continue indefinitely just delving into people's sex lives and identity.

August 3, 2019 | Registered CommenterNATHANIEL R

I don't want to know about other's sex lives gay or str8 or whatever it's called in 2019.

1. How is it possible that BIRTH has below 50% on RT??!!?? That movie is brilliant on so many levels.

2. The movie I would turn into a TV show is TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. And, the TV show I would turn into a movie is TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.

1. BIRTH is great choice. I didn't realize the reviews were that bad.

2. INCEPTION would make a terrific TV show. 60 to 75 episodes easily.

August 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterArkaan

Venom. Yes, THAT Venom. It's clearly aiming at intentional horror-comedy and...honestly, isn't TOO bad at it...? I wouldn't say it's Evil Dead 2, Shaun of the Dead good or anything, but it's not what critics generally said it was.

August 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterVolvagia

The obvious one for me is Birth (2004), which is Jonathan Glazer’s magnum opus, and has Alexander Desplat’s finest score, and of course Nicole Kidman’s best perf. I’d say Unfaithful (2002) and—OK, a little cheat—Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), both of which deserve more than 50 on RT.

1. I LOVED Seeking A Friend For The End Of The Word. I guess it just came out at the tail end of the Steve Carrel/twee oversaturation, and about a decade after the high concept indie comedy was still in vogue. But I loved it. It felt very much in the vein of Joe Versus The Volcano except with an extra bit of weeping on my part. I remember it being tagged at "rotten" but I'm not sure if it was below 50%. HONORABLE MENTION: Speed Racer.
2. I didn't love The Nice Guys, but I probably would love to see a show set in the universe with Crowe and Gosling bickering and solving crimes. Ditto Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and RDJ/Kilmer.

Mr Pitt removing his shirt before he fixes the t v antenna is a movie moment for the ages

August 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJaragon

As far as a movie that would make a great show, though? (Leaving aside superheroes, because, well, no duh. Episodic TV is a better fit for them then movies. Just a shame the only remotely episodic Marvel TV we've gotten to date is, what, the first 14 episodes of SHIELD? And if those Disney+ Marvel shows, are going the strictly serial route? I'll wait for the DVDs.)

If episodic: Isle of Dogs: Tales of the Island.
If serial: The Florida Project. (Specifically, 2-4 seasons, 10 episodes each, but I think that approach has potential.)

August 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterVolvagia

1. Some of my options are surprisingly above 50%, others (basically spanish language films) are not even ranked but FINALLY I find one title: The trouble with Terkel

2. For your consideration: For your consideration (with the same cast,) No one knows about persian cats, Gritos en el pasillo (Going Nuts), Abel (Diego Luna) and The Brand New Testament

I saw Tarantino's latest for the second weekend in a row. I'm still in the like category.

August 3, 2019 | Unregistered Commenter/3rtful

I genuinely like Scoop, which is not just considered lesser Woody Allen, but bad Woody Allen.

August 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterCash

I thought for sure my unpopular opinion would be "Get Him to the Greek" - but that's at 72%??? And "Australia" is hanging in at 55%.

So my official answers have to be: "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle", "The Sweetest Thing", "She's the Man", and "All I see is You".

I can't say I LOVE "Jennifer's Body" but it's also better than its rep and below 50% right now.

August 4, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterDave S.

A movie to become a tv show - 4 Woody Allen movies:

Hannah and Her Sisters
Radio Days
Interiors
The Purple Rose of Cairo

Would like to know more 'bout those people.(Several Allen's movies would give good tv shows, series, limited series, sitcoms.)

1. Do you guys remember American Dreamz? It is obviously silly, but I thought it was hilarious and some of the satire quite on point. Saw it at a sneak preview in university, and then quite shocked by its terrible reviews afterwards.

2. Most of my options from the top of my head are/had been TV series, (somewhat) surprisingly. In fact, both of my original answers were kind TV series: Traffic (which was a miniseries, but can certainly last longer) and Legally Blonde (a failed pilot, but if written well, can be a fun procedural). So finally I settle on Better Luck Tomorrow. That aspect of the Asian American culture is quite unexplored and should work as a dramatic counterpoint to Fresh Off the Boat.

Definitely Jane Campion's IN THE CUT. 33% at Rotten Tomatoes. A perfect example of how patriarchy and male critics can create a consensus around something just because it's not for them...

August 5, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJared

I started with a "rotten" that turns out to be 52%. The one I found at last was Better Than Chocolate. WHO DOESN'T LOVE THIS? Okay, I get a transwoman is played by a man, but it was 1999, and the trans character herself is treated with great dignity.

Make the Mulholland Drive TV show Lynch wanted originally.

August 6, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterDeborah Lipp

WTF -- America's Sweethearts is 32%. I thought it was adorable.
