Tweetweek Turducken
Friday, January 19, 2018 at 7:00AM Collected by Nathaniel R because Twitter is so toxic you shouldn't hang out there but you also shouldn't miss the more curated pleasures. Let's begin with a question that's enormously easy to answer:
Has there ever been a movie couple with better collective hair then Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeline Stowe in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS?

An emphatic chorus of "NO!" because seriously. Never. Never has there ever. After the jump some Star Wars, a little Frances McDormand, a laugh from Sharon Stone, and guest appearances by Ratatouille and The Greatest Showman...
While I do appreciate France's McDormand's descent into this Late Stage Bette Davis "Meanest Old lady in the whole town!" Career period I wouldn't raise a fist in protest against one more sexy Laurel Canyon curveball

Somebody at this coffee shop just told her friend, "All your pain is of your own making" and I was like damn Pumpkin Spice Latte going out of season has really brought some truth to power in this Starbucks, it was intense shit

I just saw Michael Stuhlbarg — it would be totally normal to just hug him cause of that scene in CMBYN and start crying right? #sundance2018

Fuck artistic integrity, I want that Call Me By Your Name/Shape of Water crossover where Armie Hammer takes Fish Man on an Italian adventure to bone town

In #StarWars, some people don't think the character of General Hux is believable because he's both a terrifying authoritarian in command of a massive military machine AND a petulant insecure buffoon. I think he's one of the most realistic characters ever.

The New York Times is the Matt Damon of newspapers

What would Brian De Palma have done with ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD? Everyone would've been gloriously over the top and it would have been dripping with colour. I know THE BLACK DAHLIA isn't many people's cuppa, but how I wish ATMITW had just an ounce of that movie's insane moxie

Went and saw The Post tonight. I watched a film about newspapers inside a movie theater inside of a mall. It was a dying industry turducken.

Sharon Stone NEEDS a comeback!!!! And not the Winona Ryder hair treatment type.
Re: the Madeline Stowe mention. Whatever happened to her? I wonder about that every so often. Hope she wasn't one of those women who got her career derailed by the Weinstein monster.
This may be the best tweet collection you've ever posted. I was going to point out my favorites but as I kept scrolling down I was like "yes, yes, yes, yes..."
And I think I'd totally have the same reaction if I saw Stuhlbarg!
The turducken tweet is so brilliant and the equation of the NYT w/ Matt Damon is uncannily accurate.
Rob-
Stowe was wonderful as the villain on ABC's Revenge a few years ago. She looked as ageless as always.
Geez, who needs that brilliant comeback more, Sharon Stone or Madeleine Stowe? Can they comeback together?
Stowe had a delicious comeback (ish) with ABC's Revenge. Stone is in Soderbergh's latest TV foray, which is getting pretty terrific review, so she may be on the cusp.
Now all I can think about is a '90s-style trailer or title sequence where the 'n' in Stone's name flips (optometrist like) into a 'w' for Stowe.
Olivia and John had amazing hair in Grease. Definitely cleaner.
Why can't Ryan Murphy give one of his many Jessica Lange vehicles to Sharon Stone? Come on, Ryan...she would eat the screen up, and it would be awesome.
