6 years ago

Three mockable movies, five prolific Twitter stars: Who most effectively skewered the achronological, bizarrely unlit J. Edgar, the gauzy Immortals, and the downright insulting Jack and Jill? Join us for a rundown of Twitter's best quips about the weekend box office.

5. Braden Graeber, of the viral meme "Little Hipster Mermaid," reports that Funny People may not be Adam Sandler's only cancer-centric comedy.

4. Scrubs/Cougar Town guru Bill Lawrence (who is awesome) can't hold in his disdain any longer.

@VDOOZER
Bill Lawrence I write Cougar Town, and yet, even I feel comfortable passing judgement on Jack and Jill.

3. Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof accurately traces Jack and Jill back to its horror beginnings.

Damon Lindelof I heard a disturbing rumor that Sandler came up with the idea for JACK AND JILL whilst "Buffalo Billing" in front of a mirror.

2. Conan (O'Brien) vet Todd Levin thinks that J. Edgar won't age well -- because it didn't do "age" well.

1. This week's winner: MTV vet and Twitter star Dave Holmes understands that beneath Kellan Lutz's muscly exterior, he's... really muscular.

@DaveHolmes
dave holmes You could go see Immortals, or you could flip through a Men's Fitness while you watch someone play a video game.
