Tweetweek: Punctuated Titles (and other brief distractions)
Saturday, November 6, 2021 at 8:00AM
NATHANIEL R in Bob the Drag Queen, Midnight Mass, Tweetweek, cats, title sequence

Let's start with our old pal Joe, who is brilliant at Twitter asking a very good question:

Thinking about "Tick, Tick... Boom!" and whether any other movies pass the "three types of punctuation in the title" test.

Turns out it's pretty rare. Even super long movie titles usually only use one or, maximum, two. But here are a handful that do...

* These are iffy since in the case of Sweet Charlotte the quotes are only on the movie poster but not within the movie itself. In the case of Zombies it's sometimes listed without that last question mark so is the question mark part of the title for real or just how people write the title now?

OKAY ON TO DIFFERENT TWEETS curated for your enjoyment

someone explained to me that one way to tell muppets and sesame street apart is that muppets fuck and sesame street doesn't.

this also applies to x-men and the avengers and a good way to tell them apart

the accuracy. Ohmygod. The tongue pop as consonant and exclamation point.

this thread (click for the full thing) would be my favourite thread if I had actually loved Midnight Mass. It's pretty damn cute (the photos not the show)...

and finally this is a good point. But it takes a lot for studios to shift their focus and dollars...

In a Best Picture race that is running out of passionate Best Picture contenders...WB and @neonrated should really push the pedal to the medal with In The Heights and Worst Person in the World...wasting opportunities here... pic.twitter.com/jcodQg4c9N
