24 of the Funniest Tweets from Tuesday, February 20, 2024

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, The Beatles are getting the feature film treatment — four times over. Deadline broke the news that Sony Pictures has enlisted Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to tell four interconnected stories from each band member’s point-of-view. The ambitious project marks the first time Paul, Ringo and the families of John and George have granted a studio full life-story rights and access to their historic music catalog for a scripted film. The studio promises an “innovative and exciting” release for the films, which are due out in 2027. In a statement to Deadline, Mendes says he is “excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies.” 

Meanwhile, according to movie insider Jeff Sneider, a movie that already revolutionized a genre may be coming back for seconds. The InSneider himself shared that Project X, one of the most controversial movies of the 2010s, is getting a sequel that’s sure to rile up One Million Moms everywhere. Aptly titled Project XX, the sequel will have a female-driven cast that already has Twitter clamoring for the likes of Ayo Edebiri, Rachel Sennott and Molly Gordon. Admittedly, it’ll be hard to recapture the lightning in a drunken bottle that came with the unprecedented original, but it may still be able to shine a light on the way Gen Zers throw down when their parents aren’t around.

These movies, of course, are years down the pipeline. Thankfully, then, these hilarious tweets are readily available for your viewing pleasure right this very minute. Today’s funniest ones include those about the world’s luckiest shoe salesman, an ancient spelling bee and one baby’s totally tubular bedtime request.
