‘Killers’ Wants Movie Goers To Decide Using Social Media

To heck with critics… This time, the studio (Lionsgate) said it would rather have viewers decide for themselves whether the movie is worthwhile, then write about it on Twitter or Facebook.

…Its a popcorn film marketed to women, what a shocker! Its going to be like every movie these two have ever been in: Junk from start to finish.
Oh my, Under Siege 2! What a performance!
Dude wheres my car! WOW!

I just watched Dr. Zhivago and it was refreshing to see what a movie should be like….

But there’s still a lot of confusion about why should any normal person should actually use it As a bit of a geek, I have a Twitter account but that’s to be expected, t’s my job to know about such things and you can follow me here. There might not be much happening on my Twitter feed, mostly I talk about work stuff, music and what I’m up to. I use it to talk to friends and generally let people know what I’m up to and what we’re doing at Best Served Cold. But back to my original question: What is Twitter?

…t there). Suspecting an evil conspiracy, Brown first vented via expletive-ridden tweets before signing out for good, alienating his loyal Twitter fans in the process who never did anything wrong.
