Twit Wit: The Best 5 Tweets About Movies This Weekend
It was an underwhelming weekend at the box office, but that didn't stop Twitter from reacting to the fancy-free stylings of Footloose, the terror of The Thing and even the already-forgotten The Big Year. We've racked up the best five tweets about movies this weekend -- and the most dubious telegrams comes from one of the film's own stars.
5. Wil Wheaton invents his own Zagat-style rubric when evaluating The Thing.
4. Ken Jennings was traveling this weekend, but don't worry, he kept us abreast of the grim cinematic pickings at his fingertips.
@KenJennings
Ken Jennings "Our in-flight movies today will be Mr. Popper's Penguins and Zookeeper." I wonder if United is seeing an uptick in in-flight suicides.

2. Glee producer Michael Hitchcock summed up the justice-seeking instincts of Kenny Wormald pretty succinctly. More like William Jennings Grindin'!

1. Yes, it's a few days old, but Steve Martin's ambivalence about properly promoting The Big Year kept us laughing all the way up to its unfortunate opening weekend.
@SteveMartinToGo
Steve Martin Okay, got it figured out. The movie is The Big Year. I play a character called "Year." Wait, that's not right. Let me get back to you.
