"Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, has turned into a powerful tool in the hands of not only consumers but marketers of all stripes as well. Comcast, Paramount Pictures and a handful of others have all latched on to it as a way to communicate with customers, acting not only as a distribution platform but a conversation hub and customer service hub as well. Some of the biggest names in the social media marketing world are spending serious time brainstorming how to use Twitter for marketing, debating its usefulness and otherwise hashing out a series of best practices for utilizing the service. Media outlets have also turned to Twitter for many of the same reasons. TV Guide, Fox News and even Spout have a presence there to, again, promote their content and, in some cases, even engage in a back-and-forth with readers. But did you know that Darth Vader is twittering? How about Cobra Commander?

"I decided that I needed some good old-fashioned Vaudevillian humor and so dove into Universal’s collection of the first five Marx Brothers movies, The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers and Duck Soup. It’s funny every time I watch these, which I usually do as a mini-festival like this, that it’s Animal Crackers and Duck Soup that consistently work the best for me. Duck Soup has long been my favorite and there are great bits in the other films but Animal Crackers, it seems to me, is the best distilling of the Marx Brothers format that exists, especially when it comes to their interplay with Margaret Dumont and the entire notion of class divisions. Horse Feathers, on the other hand, is the one in this batch that I can never quite get my head around. While some truly classic moments have come out of this (swordfish in particular) it never jells for me as a whole the way the others do. It’s a slight ebb in the inspired genius between the first three movies ... "

"Monkey BusinessI'm talking about the Marx Brothers movie here.I not too long ago purchased all of the Marx brothers movies when I got a big discount from Borders. I've seen many of these before, but I'm going through all of them again.I just watched The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers a bit before this. I think all of the Marx Brothers movies are absolutely fantastic. I love every single one of them and the wonderful picture they make then you put them all together and let them interact.These first movies were rather short, but that keeps the jokes coming. I love the musical interludes as well. It's movies like this that really make you lament what often seems like "classic" humor. I think that type of humor still exists actually, but who has done it better since this? Who can deliver a line better than Groucho? The man is perfect.And the scenes with Harpo and the Punch and Judy show is one of the funniest of all time.Rating: 10/10 "
