I just finished my umpteenth viewing of one of my favorite films: 1996's #ThatThingYouDo! And, as I always do when I watch it, I feel like waxing rhapsodic about it.

So here's a TTYD! mega thread 🧵with trivia, my thoughts on the movie, & general talk about how awesome it is. First off, HOW FUN IS THIS MOVIE?!? Just like its spiritual predecessor, #AHardDaysNight, it's impossible to feel bad after seeing #ThatThingYouDo. It's a great pick-me-up whenever I'm having a bad day, or a celebration when I'm having a good one. 🧵

I feel like doing another mega thread today. Today it'll be about a topic near & dear to my heart, the DC Animated Universe. I'm going to talk about how #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries improved on the comics in places. (And I may talk about the other shows like #SupermanTheAnimatedSeries and #JusticeLeague as well. We'll see how it goes. If I don't tackle them today, I'll get to them in the near future.)

This is a very interesting question: Why have the C-Men sustained their popularity over decades while the Titans haven’t? I have a few ideas… The original concept of the Titans was simple. They were the sidekicks of DC’s superheroes forming their own team. But since those characters have all grown up and others have joined who don’t have that sidekick history, they’ve become less distinctive.

How various characters from #HomicideLifeOnTheStreet would respond to the #COVID19 virus: A thread. (Some entries by @kcarissimi. Please submit your own suggestions using the hashtag #HLOTSCOVID19.) BAYLISS: Constantly nagging Frank that they need to glove up for Mary & Olivia's sake. Reminding Frank about the memo on handwashing & the importance of putting a mask on. Asks to quarantine at Frank's place. #HLOTSCOVID19
