Posted 4/12/12 4:43 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Avengers Premiere

With all the hype surrounding "Marvel's The Avengers" we already know the film won't disappoint. No matter how high our expectations, they're bound to be met with even higher performances from the cast and incredible directing from Joss Whedon. From the exclusive clips to the movie stills, we're as eager to see film as "Twilight" fans are to get their hands on Edward Cullen. Yes. It's that bad.

To add to our impatience, the red carpet premiere for the film took place in L.A. yesterday and the tweets from those who saw the film are rolling in. Our envy is making us look as green as the Hulk. From the stars invited to the premiere, like Seth Green, to the "Avengers" actors themselves, everyone is buzzing about Earth's mightiest heroes in April 12, 2012's Twitter-Wood.

'Cabin In The Woods' Gets A Reaction Out Of Damon Lindelof In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/11/12 1:32 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Didn't we tell you "Cabin in the Woods" is a film you should see? Never doubt us. We're not the only ones watching it, as "Prometheus" executive producer Damon Lindelof clearly agrees. With a reaction like this, we can only imagine the twists and surprises that await those of you who have yet to see the film. He's not the only one pouring out love for "Cabin," as you'll see in this week's Twitter-Wood. Just beware of reading reviews, we hear spoilers are afoot!

Speaking of Joss Whedon, writer Warren Ellis tweeted about working with Whedon on "Wastelanders." It's potentially his next project taking the form of a web-series Whedon described as "very dark and very grown-up, but it's the next thing that I want to say..." Fingers crossed!

Also see what Olivia Wilde is listening to and Yvette Brown and Edward Norton are watching in April 11, 2012's Twitter-Wood.

Get Two Spocks For The Price Of One In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/9/12 3:50 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


The two actors who play Spock, our favorite logical Vulcan in "Star Trek," not only discuss the films, but banter back and forth on Twitter, too. Zachary Quinto tweeted a picture of the New York City skyline with a comment that he "can't sleep without the sirens."


To which Leonard Nimoy replied, "We can arrange to have a siren installed in your front yard. #LLAP" At first, his choice of hashtag threw us off. LLAP? Love Loud Announcing Protocol? Is that his club for city dwellers who love the sirens when police cars and ambulances drive by? That can't be right. Then, it hit us. Live long and prosper. Duh. We can hear everyone over at Splash Page weeping for our sakes.

Here's what the rest of the celebs are saying in April 9, 2012's Twitter-Wood.

'Transformers' Stars Reunite, Tease Jason Statham?

Posted 12/12/11 11:40 am EST by in Twitter-Wood


Transformers

There may or may not be more "Transformers" movies in Michael Bay's future, but for now, the stars who previously battled the robots in disguise are still getting along. "Transformers" actors Tyrese Gibson and Ken Jeong reunited over the weekend, and perhaps there's more than meets the eye to their mention of "JS" -- Jason Statham, perhaps? Your guess is as good as ours!

Meanwhile, "Harry Potter" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" bad boy Tom Felton conquered Table Mountain over the weekend, Rainn Wilson made a shocking confession about his bathroom behavior and Christopher Mintz-Plasse may have stumbled upon his own secret Spider-Man origin.

I'm @roundhoward, and here's your Twitter-Wood for December 12, 2012.

'American Psycho' Writer Endorses 'Kardashians' Star Scott Disick For Reboot

Posted 12/9/11 3:05 pm EST by in Casting Call, Twitter-Wood


"Kardashians" star and Kourtney’s baby daddy Scott Disick has been given the co-sign by "American Psycho" writer Bret Easton Ellis to inhabit the skin of Patrick Bateman, a role made famous by Batman himself, Christian Bale.

After news broke of a proposed remake of the 2000 film, as reported by Variety this week, Scott, who pretty much is the living embodiment of the Big Apple yuppie/serial killer/investment banker in look, charisma and style, took to Twitter to pitch himself as the perfect leading man for the leading role.

M. Night Shyamalan

Better late than never? Perhaps encouraged by his daughters, M. Night Shyamalan has finally taken a seat on the Twitter train (he’s now on Facebook, too). His first tweet, on November 25th, was a characteristic homage to his childhood hero:

I was thirteen years old when I tried to call Steven Spielberg. I made my mom call and pretend she was my assistant. He didn't take my call.

To commemorate this auspicious occasion, we present to you a collection of bold predictions: the five ways M. Night Shyamalan will reinvent Twitter.

Posted 10/12/11 5:41 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Samuel L. Jackson

And in one fell swoop, Twitter just got a whole lot m***** f****** better. Samuel L. Jackson has joined Twitter. I think I can safely speak for everyone on the face of the Earth when I say: finally!

The man himself made it official last night on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," the same day the "Avengers" trailer premiered, when he announced his new feed and sent out his first tweet from @SamuelLJackson, "Can-a muh f**kasay f** on here?"

As of right now, Jackson has tweeted 11 times and has a little over 90,000 followers, averaging roughly 8,200 new followers per tweet. He told Fallon that what he really wants is a million followers, so he can catch up with the rest of the Hollywood celebs who weren't so late to the party. We implore you, help him out!

So far, Jackson has used most of his tweets on retweets, so we here at MTV News wanted to throw out a few suggestions to help the new guy out.
