Don't call it a comeback; this account has been here for (8) years. @kerrianne + @stebbinsmatt here to live-tweet festive movie marathons. (Get psyched!)
The underlying message of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (and so many movies and also real life): Women are wiser, more intuitive than men, and they know what's happening before most everyone else. Heed the ladies, fellas, before you get yo body snatched. #SmashThePlantPatriarchy
@WildBillWellman@iamchoppah @RocketJaz Definitely. While watching we also learned the closing credits in The Life Aquatic are a direct homage to the BB closing credits. https://t.co/sgf0IIl8Uf (And Jaz, there's also a note about Buckaroo Banzai references in Into the Night in this article, too!)
@JamesMendur Bow ties are totally cool, and that's a perfect way to describe it. We also loved how they hinted at future installments, as if it's a franchise unto itself (that doesn't actually exist). Again: Perfect. And hilarious.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension stars (wait for it): Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow, Peter Weller, & Christopher Lloyd. Speaking of Lloyd, there was a flux capacitor of sorts (!!) in the opening action scene. #12DaysofGoldblum
"Hey, you have any idea how long it takes for those cups to decompose?"
"If you don't move soon, I'm gonna start to decompose."
One of the best parts of #IndependenceDay is Judd Hirsch (playing Goldblum's dad), & the back & forth between the two of them. #12DaysofGoldblum
...2 artificial hearts, & anything but Jurassic Park III! It's time to kick the tires, light the fires, and let Goldblum save the day once again. #IndependenceDay#12DaysofGoldblum
Happy! Winter Solstice. We're just about ready to get this #12DaysofGoldblum party started! 12 glorious days of at least one #JeffGoldblum movie a day. Why? Because life is short, and movies are awesome. The only additional backstory: https://t.co/1oT4zjk7CP
On the 12th day of Goldblum, my true love gave to me...12 spaceships attacking, 11 dinos chomping, 10 buckaroos banzai-ing, 9 cells mutating, 8 plants a-snatchin', 7 townies creepin', 6 dogs a-talkin'....*5(00) hammer throws!*...4 existential crises, 3 alien beings...
We like to imagine that rather than someone applying for the "Velociraptor Gatekeeper" job, the entire staff of #JurassicPark had to draw straws and then they all felt relieved when they didn't have to do it. Except for that one guy. Tough luck, buddy. #12DaysofGoldblum
"What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery...I call the rape of the natural world." —Dr. Ian Malcolm, Chaostition, Rockstar, Conservationist #JurassicPark#12DaysofGoldblum
@RocketJaz @onenjen "Perfectly delightfully weird all the time" is a perfect description of Goldblum, and why we love him in every movie. (We thought Lithgow must have had a blast making that movie. So funny!)
@onenjen @RocketJaz It was...a trip. (We were pretty entertained.) The synopsis (see third tweet in this string) made Kerr burst out laughing. As did Goldblum's "buckaroo" get-up. (It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime!)
#BuckarooBanzai is apparently heavily referenced in a bunch of popular movies/shows (including Men in Black, The Life Aquatic, Fight Club, Mad Max, Back to the Future (of course), & episodes of Star Trek & Angel). Here's the full list: https://t.co/sgf0IIl8Uf #12DaysofGoldblum
