Tweetweek: Nope, Crawdads, and the ongoing saga of the great Barbie vs Oppenheimer war of 2023
Sunday, July 24, 2022 at 10:00AM !!!
Gore Vidal, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, James Dean, and Anthony Perkins all lived together at Shirley MacLaine’s house in Malibu in the summer of 1954, before any of them had really “made it” in Hollywood. I’d like to watch a stage play/film about THAT.

Yes please. Would very much like to see this movie. More curated tweets for you (so you don't have to waste time on Twitter) are after the jump...

Crazy that Keke Palmer has two big star vehicles dropping at the same time (NOPE and her press tour for NOPE)

Jordan Peele made a full on Spielberg summer blockbuster filled with wonder and dread that ends being less about what’s in the sky and ultimately settles on the below-the-line freaks peppering every film shoot who make this kind of magic sing. I fucking loved Nope. So much. pic.twitter.com/ZMcJuBQ2hs

As an obscure movie merch enthusiast, I’ve never felt more seen or represented than when I realized Daniel Kaluuya is wearing an official Scorpion King hoodie in Nope pic.twitter.com/BR0CwoP2Fu

Spoiler alert: in the terrific new sci-fi thriller Nope, this appears in the sky over a small town and terrifies everyone: pic.twitter.com/BpezLe2ftJ

Get Out. Us. Nope. It’s wild that Jordan Peele is three for three on movies with absolutely awful SEO. Supreme confidence.

BLUE SKY (1994) feels like what would happen if you mashed Barbie and Oppenheimer together. pic.twitter.com/cTK9E4Z4oY

and not to end on a killjoy note, but, sorry...
starting to think that all the online excitement about 2023's summer of BARBIE / OPPENHEIMER is a direct commentary on how generally disappointing the 2022 would be summer blockbusters have been.

Barbie, Nope, Oppenheimer, Shirley Maclaine, Tweetweek

Do you really think that re Oppenheimer/Barbie? Sure Lightyear and Jurassic disappointed in their own ways, but Top Gun, Nope and Elvis have me believing that audiences are totally ready to move beyond superheroes and sequels (I mean, Top Gun notwithstanding) in the summer.
Mike in Canada: Since you mentioned Elvis and Nope, both of those are exactly what Barbie and Oppenheimer will be next summer: the latest entries by some of out most celebrated auteurs, and if that's what we start getting every summer from now on, I'd say summer movie season will be in good shape indeed.
I would totally like to see that movie about everyone in Shirley MacLaine's house. Just make sure the casting is spot-on and have Shirley be the narrator.
I'd wear that pin.
That is an ugly-ass hat on Melania. Then again, she has 0 taste in fashion. She's so awful, if I was a full-on gay man. I'd walk back to the fucking closet out of shame.
I absolutely require that AMC Kidman pin.
that would make for one of the greatest LGTBQ+ films ever...the Shirley McLaine's summer house.
