Most Popular Tweet Ever - A Scary Thought

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Thu May 14, 2015 1:58 pm

Since I started using Twitter, I've been posting regularly promoting the reviews on my blog and website. Sometimes, I will get one or two favorites or retweets (Vandal's been a big help here), but none of them have been exceptionally popular until today. I'll usually post a teaser a few hours before I link to the actual review.

So we say Clouds of Sils Maria, over the weekend, which is an art film about an older actress (Juliette Binoche) and her assistant, (Kristen Stewart) who is helping prepare the actress for a new role. Stewart is very good in the role (it's a very subtle role) and won the Cesar award (the French equivalent of the Oscar) for Best Supporting Actress, the first American to win that particular award. So I posted the following tweet as my teaser:
Since #KristenStewart got #Twilight out of the way, her dramatic career's on a creative roll; congrats on the Cesar for #CloudsofSilsMaria
I posted this just before I left for work, about 9:00 this morning. The next time I checked my Twitter account, about an hour later, I had 20 retweets and favorites, and the total is now up to 40 (not 40 total people since some people both retweeted and forwarded). That's probably as many as I've gotten on all my other Tweets combined.

It's scary to think that so many people are obsessed with Kristen Stewart to the extent that they have nothing better to do that obsessively search Twitter for mentions of her.

I am simply surprised to find out that she can act.

~40 people is not a lot of people.

It is for someone who hadn't gotten 40 total retweets before this.

I guess you should include that hashtag in all of your tweets, now. :wink:

Slightly more differentiation of moods than Patricia Arquette.

Do you mean Academy Award Winner Patricia Arquette, who is also one of only 13 actresses to have won the Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Critics' Choice Award, Golden Globe Award and SAG Award for the same performance? Just because you don't like her does not make her an incompetent actress and to call her less skilled than KS is ludicrous.

You don't have to manually search Twitter for mentions of people; they let you setup a filter. :P
