You liked @PrideMovie? Good way to show it is to donate to a charity or NFP that "has nothing to do with you," then think about how it does.

One of my favorite things on twitter is when someone gets on a roll on a particular topic (and Broadway goddess Laura Benanti is always on a roll) or when random cinephiles start live-tweeting whatever movie they're watching or thinking about as in these two sets...

And Finally...
If you're not so sick to death of hearing about Marvel's next dozen movies (or if you are) that event led to billions of tweets of which these are some of my favorites...
Look, it's swell that people love their Marvel movies. But the word that comes to mind with regard to the years-out marketing is "priapism."

People don't care about Marvel movies so much as they care about forthcoming Marvel movies. It's an industry of inexhaustible anticipation.

All tweets from Laura Benanti are share-worthy.
Pam - I totally agree I want a world with more Laura Benanti, and fewer Marvel Films. Is there any way that Marvel Films could just shut up and go away for a few years?
Interstelllaaaa is hilarious. That's how I'm going to call it from now on.
Do you know it already has a 9,5 score on IMBD? Crazy!
That "Interstelaaaa" tweet just killed me. Priceless
