#Best Tweets of 2012 @Post50s
20 December 2012 4:59 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Forget "out of the mouths of babes" -- there were plenty of biting witticisms, expletive-laden celebrations (warning: one is included in this piece), carefully crafted observations and pearls of irreverent wisdom on Twitter in 2012 put there by folks who are post 50.
When it came time to figuring out what the best tweets of 2012 by post 50s were, there was no shortage of contestants. From James Cameron's descent into the Marina Trench, the deepest place on Earth...
Just arrived at the ocean's deepest pt. Hitting bottom never felt so good. Can't wait to share what I'm seeing w/ you @deepchallenge

... to the outspoken Cher's battle cry for womankind ...
God Do I Love Women With Attitude ! Fuck Yes !
— Cher (@cher) September 20, 2012
...it was a lively year for midlifers on Twitter. And while Betty White may be past the midlife point -- nah, we need her to live »

Peter Bradshaw picks his favourite films of 2012
13 December 2012 7:15 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
At the end of a bumper year for film-making, Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw unveils the contenders for his very own – imaginary – film awards
Most critics compile year-end roundups in a mood of shrugging acceptance that not every year can be great. But actually 2012 has been vintage, with some really brilliant films from the biggest names doing their best work – and some fascinating documentaries. So once again, I have created my imaginary awards nominations in the following categories: best film, best director, best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best documentary and best screenplay. You will have to imagine me, in full tuxedo-style evening wear announcing the Braddies at the Dorchester. (I have put Seth MacFarlane, Michael Haneke and Kylie Minogue on my table.)
So, the nominations are …
Best film
Amour (dir. Michael Haneke)
The Master (dir. Paul Thomas Anderson)
Holy Motors (dir. Leos Carax)
Killing Them Softly (dir. »

Sight and Sound Poll
UK magazine Sight & Sound have published their annual best films of the year poll made up of the opinions of around 100 film critics.
Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" came in at #1, followed by Miguel Gomes' "Tabu," Michael Haneke's "Amour," Leos Carax's "Holy Motors," and Benh Zeitlin »

2012 Gotham Awards: ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ Wins Best Feature, ‘Beast’ Takes Home Pair
26 November 2012 7:35 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
In the battle of the Andersons, it was Wes who beat P.T for Best Feature at the 2012 Gotham Awards. Moonrise Kingdom would go 1 for 2 as Lynn Shelton’s Your Sister’s Sister easily among the year’s the best, for its natural, on-screen chemistry was handsomely awarded the Best Ensemble Performance prize. Making it an almost all Sundance Film Festival takes Gotham kind of year, in the Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You it’s Terence Nance’s An Oversimplification of Her Beauty which gets an extra boost for theatrical play. Pic was produced by Andrew Corkin who is lining up Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are for festival play next year.
The heavy favorite in all categories combined was Beasts of the Southern Wild‘s Benh Zeitlin as Best Breakthrough Director and Audience award, while in the Breakthrough Actor category, it’s Emayatzy Corinealdi »

Star Trek: The Next Generation Marriage Proposal
11 November 2012 1:00 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
At a photo op with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation the photographer happened to be a die hard fan and proposed to his girlfriend who was sitting on Gates McFadden's lap.
Will Wheaton recalls the story,
"About 30 minutes or so into this particular session, these two people came in. The girl went to stand between Patrick and Frakes, and the guy directed her to stand in the front, instead. All of us tried to figure out what was going on (usually it's small kids who come to the front, usually sitting on Brent's lap or Gates' lap), and the guy said, "I really love Star Trek, but I love [her name] even more." He got down on one knee, and proposed to her.
Marina started to cry, I felt like I was going to cry, and we all applauded and celebrated when she said "yes." Apparently, they'd met Marina earlier in the day, »

18 October 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Bernie, Middle of Nowhere, Moonrise Kingdom and Beasts of the Southern Wild each received a pair of nominations for the 22nd Gotham Independent Film Awards, but the big surprise has to be the Best Picture snub of Benh Zeitlin’s Sundance and Cannes winner. The jury of five favored Moonrise Kingdom, Bernie, Middle of Nowhere, The Loneliest Planet and The Master over other well-received truly indie titles such as Craig Zobel’s Compliance and James Ponsoldt’s Smashed. The awards will be handed out on November 26th.

Feminist Friday: The Sentencing of Pussy Riot, Paul Ryan’s Fits about Your Ladybits
17 August 2012 10:49 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Tags: Pussy RiotRachel MaddowPaul RyanElizabeth BanksHolland TaylorMartha PlimptonIMDb
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Marina Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich of Pussy Riot have been sentenced to two years in prison, officially for hooliganism and having a concert at a Moscow Cathedral, but many believe their actual crime is pissing off Vladimir Putin. Gawker published their fierce and moving closing statements last week. I highly recommend them.
This Week in Ladybits
Feministing pointed to a remarkable article by an abortion provider on what’s at stake in the ongoing attempts to lock down your uterus.
Hey, Rachel Maddow, are your arms tired from hammering Paul Ryan all week? In addition to looking like Will Schuester’s evil twin, Ryan really, really, really does not care for ladies controlling their own ladybits. For example, he sponsored a bill that would make abortion illegal even in the case of rape or incest - and Kevin Drum over »

2012′s Toronto International Film Festival is set to officially announce its initial line-up later today, but Variety let the cat out of the bag, at least partially; and it’s quite astounding.

Coming from Sundance, the only mentioned film was Ben Lewis‘ John Hawkes-starring The Sessions, while Cannes premieres include Matteo Garrone‘s Reality, Thomas Vinterberg‘s The Hunt, Pablo Larrain‘s No and Jacques Audiard‘s Rust and Bone. One of the biggest surprises is a new film from Noah Baumbach, starring Greta Gerwing titled Frances Ha. There’s also The Avengers director Joss Whedon »
