Highlights from Live-Tweeting Bonnie & Clyde

Unless you’re one of our (poor, unfortunate) Twitter followers, you probably missed our epic live-tweeting of the Lifetime 2-night premiere of Bonnie & Clyde. (Translation: Lena came to my house with adult beverages and we ordered “party” pizza. Then we sat on my couch with phones/laptops and retweeted each other all night).

This is not a stock photo.

Aside from a few flashes of bizarrely graphic violence, Bonnie & Clyde was pretty forgettable. (It was actually forgettable even while we were watching it. Every few minutes someone would say, “Wait, what did I miss? Whose funeral is this? How did they get out of jail?” and then we’d poll the room and realize no one could remember what the hell was happening. It’s like they filmed it in amnesia-vision.)

We made up for an unmemorable movie with some memorable tweets. A few highlights:

Messing with the official Lifetime Twitter account:

@lifetimetv are you guys wasted, too? #typos

Analyzing the plot:

All 3 people in room: “That’s her mom?!” an hour and a half into the movie #thanksfortheplot #BonnieAndClyde

Retweeting the like-minded:

Just saw my first “I want that Bonnie and Clyde type relationship” tweet.. You can’t be serious.

Key observations:

Bonnie is a robber, but she is also a lipstick vampire who breaks into peoples’ rooms and uses up ALL of their lipstick #bonnieandclyde

Summarizing the plot (and bringing back “peen”):

@attemptedblog Clyde was in jail for a few minutes and the Squirrel Nut Zippers rescued him and Bonnie showed some cleave and got some peen

Bringing others up to speed:

@LMNReviews @attemptedblog someone got shot in the dick!

Expressing concerns:

We’re running out of time for the albino rabbit premonition to possibly ever make sense #BonnieAndClyde
