As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in a few weekly live tweets on twitter.  I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of #MondayActionMovie!  Every week, we get together.  We watch a movie.  We tweet our way through it.

Tonight, for #MondayActionMovie, we are watching 1994’s Zero Tolerance!  Selected and hosted by @SweetEmmyCat, Zero Tolerance stars two great character actors, Robert Patrick and Titus Welliver!  It also features musician Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac fame.  I’m not sure who Fleetwood plays but there was probably a lot of cocaine on set.  Here’s the trailer:

That’s right!  A film that some people have called the best Star Trek film ever made, 1999’s Galaxy Quest takes a look at what happens when the cast of a cult sci-fi show are abducted from the latest fan convention and are sent into space for real!  It’s a cute concept but what really makes the film work is the cast, with Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Tim Allen, Tony Shalhoub, Justin Long, Rainn Wilson, Daryl Mitchell, and Sam Rockwell all giving great comedic performances.

The Shattered Lens Live Tweets Oscar Sunday

Welcome to Oscar Sunday!

The Shattered Lens Live Tweets Super Bowl Sunday!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

The Super Bowl just ended so I guess it’s time to recap the reaction of the members of the TSL Team who watched and tweeted about it.  Jeff, Erin, Case, Leonard, and I all watched and …. I don’t know.  The game kind of sucked this year.  I didn’t care about the game and I thought that commercials were kind of boring..  Case thought the commercials were depressing.  Leonard got so bored that he left for ice cream.  Jeff and Erin are mad that the Bengals lost.  Even though it wasn’t as bad as last year, there was still weren’t as many movie commercials as in the past.

I think our collective reaction can be summed up as this:

There was apparently some hope at the start of the second half, when the game started get exciting:

But in the end, the Super Bowl and the commercials just didn’t deliver:

It all led to one question:

Yep, that was it.

The Shattered Lens Live Tweets Oscar Sunday

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Patrick, I think, had the right idea. While Doc and Epoch slept and he read, Leonard, Jeff, and I watched a live tweeted this year’s Steven Soderbergh-produced Oscar ceremony. That it was an odd ceremony should not have come as a surprise, all things considered. Still, the three of us found ourselves shocked by not only the strange placement of the categories (i.e., putting Best Director in the middle of the show) but also by just the entire style of the entire ceremony. It was very Soderberghian, in that it was occasionally interesting but overall rather uneven. We were especially surprised when Best Picture was given out before the acting prizes but then we realized that they were obviously building up to the emotional moment when Chadwick Boseman would win his posthumous Oscar. Of course, for that to happen, Boseman would have to win Best Actor and …. well, here’s a few of our tweets from the very odd ceremony:
