OK, yes, it's been a billion years since I've tweeted here. And, truthfully, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be here. But this Twitter account did mean a lot to me, once upon a time, so I don't just want to disappear, either. So take this as the beginning of my farewell tour.

Good article about the fight scenes in Michelle Yeoh's latest wonderfully original movie. https://t.co/xvs3IzY1XU

The outrageous martial arts scenes in Everything Everywhere All At Once pay homage to classic films like Jackie Chan’s Rumble In The Bronx and the Hui brothers’ The Private Eyes.

Anyone know anything about this film? I love Michelle Yeoh and the trailer looks intriguing. https://t.co/406LpcwC0f

Michelle Yeoh gives the performance of her career in an orgiastic martial arts movie from the deranged minds behind "Swiss Army Man."
