Tweetweek: Sleepovers, time loops, and one very gay summer
Friday, July 8, 2022 at 4:54PM First, two tweets that stunned us in their perceptiveness. Exactly right on both counts.
Long overdue rewatch of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and it occurs to me that the exact same narrative material that is dealt with here in 96 minutes would now cover five seasons of a ‘prestige’ streaming drama.

the multiverse and time loops displaced time travel as a genre bc we no longer agree on the past or believe in the future, just infinite minuscule variations on the present

More curated and mostly amusing tweets for you after the jump featuring George Clooney's batsuit, Barbie sleepovers, a perplexing Dianne Wiest situation, Alien & Predator trivia, the summer of 92 at the movies, and more ...

Speaking broadly, it’s surreal how the MCU went from fairly memorable, rewatchable cinematic events that occurred 2-3 times per year to hours upon hours of content in theaters/on streaming that you may or may not enjoy and definitely won’t remember or feel compelled to revisit.

Paxton and Henrickson share one unique thing in common in film history: they are the only actors to play characters killed by a Terminator, a Predator, *and* an Alien (xenomorph). #TCMParty pic.twitter.com/pvhQJJIXo9

Every week when this column pops up, I first think it says "TwinkWeek" I can't be the only one.
That woman in the Dianne Wiest tweet/meme is Renata Sorrah. You may havd seen her in a great supporting role in Karim Ainouz's Madame Sata.
@cal roth
Exactly what I was going to say here.
This meme is from a very popular Brazilian soap opera. I had no idea that it was used outside of Brazil.
Renata Sorrah played a totally crazy villain in the show. That kind of explains the meme.
Tony Sirico aka Paulie Walnuts of The Sopranos just died. This is not a good year for fans of mob movies/TV shows.
Johnny Sobczak is speaking the truth!
John From -- it's actually a very popular meme here. I had no idea where it was from though.
