Bob DylanTwitter-Wood kicks off today with a big birthday shout-out to music legend Bob Dylan, who turned 70 years old today, and we're not the only ones sending him birthday wishes, either; several people in the film community have tipped their tweets in the "Like a Rolling Stone" singer-songwriter's direction on his big day.

Elsewhere, comedy mastermind Judd Apatow and "Breaking Dawn" star Jamie Campbell Bower revealed a little bit too much about their personal lives (though the laughs we're still fighting off should tell you that we're not complaining), two recent comedies get some new appraisals and Diablo Cody pours one out for her Showtime series "The United States of Tara," which was canceled yesterday.

I'm @roundhoward and this is Twitter-Wood for May 24, 2011.

Michael MooreThey are some of the most feared, respected and controversial men in Hollywood... and now they are facing off against each other.

On Monday, Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against power producers Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein for allegedly cheating him out of $2.7 million from the hit 2004 documentary "Farenheit 9/11."

Moore is seeking punitive damages from the Weinstein's Fellowship Adventure Group, who he claims agreed to split the profits 50/50 from the film (the movie pulled in $222.4 million worldwide at the box office, making it the most successful documentary of all time), but instead hid a portion of the money from him.

The FighterYou definitely haven't seen Christian Serratos in the "Twilight" series wearing the kind of makeup she put on for a Black Keys video in her feed this week. She and Danny Masterson both sported some new looks and posted pics.

The big trending topic in international news today, though, was WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange getting granted bail in London, where Michael Moore stepped in and got personally involved. His reaction to the situation and a roundup of Golden Globe nomination chatter have been retweeted for you after the jump.

Elizabeth EdwardsBetween Elizabeth Edwards' death and the anniversary of John Lennon's passing this week, the Twitter-Wood feed has been filled with condolences and memorial posts. Simon Pegg noted Lennon's legacy today, while Michael Moore, Alyssa Milano and Paris Hilton all shared their thoughts on Edwards' life.

Elsewhere, Eli Roth finally made it around to seeing the "Simpsons" "Inglourious Basterds" parody he was itching to find earlier this week, while Jeremy Piven hung out with some people in crazy masks. It's all documented along with Damon Lindelof's reaction to "Tron: Legacy."

Former "Golden Girls" actress Rue McClanahan spent half a century in TV and film, so it only stands to reason that she had a fair number of fans and former collaborators ready to speak up in the Twitter-Wood feed today after news of her death broke. Rose McGowan, John Larroquette and the writer of "Hot Tube Time Machine" were among them.

Tigers fans felt more anger than grief last night, as a call by umpire Jim Joyce cost pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game. You'll be able to see what Michael Moore and Christopher Mintz-Plasse thought about that after the jump, as well as who Michael Chiklis supports in the NBA Finals and who thought "Sex in the City 2" was underrated.

As you all know quite well, "Avatar" hit theaters this weekend. And while celebrities have ways of finagling themselves tickets to official premieres -- I think there's a secret handshake or something -- plenty of them turned out to "slum it" with their adoring public for public screenings of the movie. Or at least, that's what it seems like based on the influx of tweets on our Twitter-Wood feed.

The tone has been mostly positive on the Hollywood insider front. Hell, last week superstar actor Ben Stiller appeared on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" with only one thing in mind: pimping James Cameron's sci-fi epic! "Oh, I'm here to talk about 'Avatar.'" he said. "I'm really excited about it, Conan. It's gonna be... it's just going to be an amazing movie." Hit the jump for more from celebs on "Avatar," fresh from the Twitter-Wood feed. Read More...

Please excuse the delay in running this week's Box Office Poll. I experienced some technical difficulties when working from home yesterday, so I put this post off for today. What a week we're in for movies. I don't know about y'all, but every wide release that opens is on my list as well as a fair few of the limited releases. So let's get to it.

Tough to say what the big one for the week is going to be. I think the top contender -- though not necessarily by a wide margin -- is "Zombieland," a comedy-horror flick starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. As a zombie apocalypse sweeps across the world, the foursome set out on a cross-country trip to... well I'm not entirely sure. They kill lots of zombies though. Read More...

Does that headline scare you away or intrigue you? If it's a little bit of both, then my job here is done. Keep reading, secure in the knowledge that I'd never post anything overtly offensive or stomach-turning here... without warning you first.

Today's eBay Prop-Watch pick was selected in honor of "Capitalism: A Love Story." Michael Moore's latest op-ed-in-motion, dealing with the ongoing financial crisis, the factors that led to it and the prognosis moving forward, hits theaters this Friday. The Prop-Watch pick actually has nothing to do with "Capitalism"; it is instead a bit of leftover coolness from the filmmaker's previous effort, "Sicko." That latex bit makes more sense now, right?

As if last week's mixed-genre Friday openings weren't enough, we've got the same song this week as well. I'm thinking that the front-runner is "Fame." Not only does it possess an all-ages appeal, but there's also the nostalgia factor to consider. The 1980 original was quite popular, so even childless thirty-somethings can find something to enjoy with this remake. Maybe.

It's not like there aren't other options. Michael Moore is back with another message-driven doc, "Capitalism: A Love Story." This one's about the sorry state of financial affairs that our nation is currently in, with the focus on what went wrong and how we got to where we currently are. Moore is nothing if not a crowd-pleaser, so expect to find his same brand of wry, scathing humor mixed with shocking facts about corporate and governmental wrongdoings. Read More...

Only "Fahrenheit 9/11" director Michael Moore has the balls to show up at AIG headquarters with the intent of taking the entire board of directors away in a citizen's arrest. The below trailer spoils that particular ploy -- it didn't work -- but expect to see plenty of others unleashed when Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" hits theaters on October 2 (limited NY/LA engagements starting September 23).
