Veteran's Day brought no shortage of veteran appreciation today in Twitter-Wood, prompting thanks and memories from across the board, as well as a personal note from "Twilight" actor Gil Birmingham.
Meanwhile, Jason Schwartzman's on his way to the NYC debut of "Fantastic Mr. Fox," which as a Wes Anderson follower, I am anxious to see myself this weekend. Another new release, "Precious," really got a hold of Tyrese Gibson, who said the film's been keeping him awake. Check out their thoughts along with pictures from Peter Facinelli and John Stamos and a Henry Winkler autograph to be jealous of after the jump. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 11, 2009. Read more...
There must have been a "New Moon"-related tweet mandate out today, because the faces of "Twilight" clogged my Twitter feed today. David Slade posted an "Eclipse" update, Peter Facinelli TwitPic'd from his makeup chair and BooBoo Stewart posted a photo op moment with Latoya Jackson. Even Gil Birmingham contributed an off-screen group shot.
Candid pics showed up from non-"Twilight"-ers as well, though. Ken Jeong, Sarah Silverman and Eli Roth are all prominently features in today's tweet mix, in addition to Rainn Wilson on Bill Cosby and Mark Webber's on-set shot from his new movie "The Lie." It's a photo-heavy day full of links in the Twitter-Wood report for October 20, 2009. Read more...

As the search for Falcon Heene, the six-year-old boy feared to have been trapped in a runaway Colorado balloon, continues today, the story has more or less less consumed the Twittersphere. Twitter-Wood hasn't been immune to that effect with Alyssa Milano, Simon Pegg and plenty of others posting about the unresolved scenario.
On the flipside of the Twitterverse, cast members of "New Moon" have been swapping tweets in anticipation of the movie's scene screenings at next week's Rome Film Festival. Check out who's been talking to whom, along with Rainn Wilson's new wolf T-shirt, Tom Felton's metal T-shirt and what's been going on in Diablo Cody's dreams. It's all after the jump in the Twitter-Wood report for October 15, 2009. Read more...

Celebrities retweeting webcam pics of fans dressed as them may officially be a trend now, following yesterday's Fred Durst incident. Now Rainn Wilson has received a pic from a Dwight super-fan, and his shock defies language.
Tweets trickles in from all over Twitter-Wood throughout the rest of the day to remember wrestler and actor Captain Lou Albano, whom you may remember from pay-per-view events, as well as from "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" where he portrayed Mario. Read those rubber band memorials after jump along with Simon Pegg's reaction to the "Twilight" books, Shaquille O'Neal's mama joke to Ashton Kutcher and BooBoo Stewart's plans for Halloween. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for October 14, 2009. Read more...

You can always tell I'm out of my comfort zone with the Daily TwitPic by how much beating around the bush is done. Take today. I've never seen "The Office," never heard the music of Frightened Rabbit. And yet, from what I can tell today's TwitPic is about both.
"The Office" is popular, right? Before it, Rainn Wilson had always struck me as a particularly recognizable "that guy," with my favorite role being his creepy undertaker on HBO's "Six Feet Under." Now he's got "The Office" which, again, is pretty darn popular. As for Frightened Rabbit, they're a Scottish indie rock band of whom Wilson is apparently a fan. So he was understandably excited when the quintet stopped by the office (or is it "The Office"?) to say hi. You can see Wilson geeking out after the jump. Read more...
You know how you feel when you look at one of those blogs with all of the cute and fuzzy kitten pictures? Twitter-Wood's sort of like that today with good news following Elizabeth Taylor's heart surgery, Emmy Rossum with cotton candy, Paris Hilton with a monkey, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's happy breakfast picture.
All of those pics come in addition to an announcement by Jason Reitman that "Ghostbusters" fans should not want him to direct "Ghostbusters 3," as well as an on-set shot of Rainn Wilson with the band Frightened Rabbit, who recently got a tour of the office used in "The Office." Click on down to check out those posts and more. I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter-Wood report for October 9, 2009. Read more...

Are you familiar with James Gunn? A lot of folks know him as the writer of the "Dawn of the Dead," but his first gig was actually on Troma Entertainment's classic "Tromeo & Juliet," which he also wrote. Gunn is a regular on our daily Twitter-Wood feed, and today he joins Daily TwitPic for what may be the first time (I was wrong; it's his second).
Today's pic is exactly what the headline tells you it is. Gunn holding a wine glass while Rainn Wilson's horse -- Gussie -- drinks from it. Or at least inspects it very closely; I see no horse tongue. Gunn claims the liquid in his glass is orange juice, but I prefer to think that Gussie is a sort of alcoholic Mr. Ed, willing to sell his foals for a taste of the good stuff. It's a hard knock life when you're a horse. Read more...
There was a lot to catch up on in Twitter-Wood today after my long weekend, including the 40th anniversary of Monty Python's first appearance on television, which member John Cleese and fan Edgar Wright both noted. Elsewhere, Edward Norton and Danny Masterson had good things to tweet about Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke's live solo performance, and Miley Cyrus and Ashley Tisdale joined Paris Hilton among those tweeting their Halloween costume plans for 2009.
There is loads more to check out, though, believe it or not, as James Gunn tweeted a pic of himself offering juice to a horse that may belong to Rainn Wilson and Jeremy Piven posted a behind-the-scene shot of Matt Damon from "Entourage." I can't even summarize it all today, I retweeted so many people. I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is your Twitter-Wood report for October 5, 2009. Read more...

The Emmy Awards prevailed over football yesterday in the Twitter-Wood feed. I'm just sorry that John Hodgman's posted pic with comic book writer and "Lost" writer staff alumnus Brian K. Vaughan was too dark to make Twitter Pic of the Day. Instead, Kim Kardashian moved up into first place for that honor with her behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you rip your dress at the Emmy's.
On down the list, Rainn Wilson, Diablo Cody and Steve Agee pondered how hitch a ride on Tyler Perry's successful Madea movies. To find out what Wilson wants to do and see when Peter Facinelli will be reporting back for duty on the "Eclipse" set, read their tweets for yourself. They're all below in the Twitter-Wood report for September 21, 2009. Read more...

Warmoth is out of town, covering something for @multiplayers. So you Twitter-Wood-ers are stuck with me, your friendly neighborhood MTV Movies Blog editor. My picks aren't usually as structured as Brian's are, and today is no different. Still, there's plenty of fun, funny and fascinating pulled together for you after the jump.
First up is "Harry Potter" star Tom Felton, who's spending some vacation time with Universal Studios and Scrabble. Then we've got "Jennifer's Body" writer Diablo Cody coining a new phrase and Rob Corddry asking a ridiculous question. Also, Kevin Pollak offers a hilariously descriptive rundown of his preparations for a coming colonoscopy. Plus, sound advice from Denzel Washington (take note, Kanye-haters), observations on the female anatomy from Michael Ian Black and "The Office" star Rainn Wilson's steamy night... alone. I'm @geminibros and this is your Twitter-Wood report for September 16, 2009. Read more...
