The Finger Wag – Athletes using Twitter and Social Media to their Disadvantage

Freddy Adu has no shame in his movie picks. In his downtime soccer star (at least in the States), Freddy Adu likes to watch movies. He is just like us!

Well, maybe not…

Bout to watch new moon and chill. Yaa its kinda soft I know but I'm curious lol On 7:32 PM May 17th 2010 from Twitter for BlackBerry®

A warning Freddy, when 20 year olds start watching new moon because they are “curious”, they usually wind up “curious”. (See what I did there??)

You may have heard or read (if you are a geek like me) that Siskel and Ebert’s movie review show’s latest incarnation has been cancelled.  Ebert himself mentioned this on his twitter account.

"At the Movies" is dead. Long live "At the Movies!" My new blog entry, just posted. http://j.mp/91t3hJ On 8:11 AM Mar 25th 2010 from web

I never saw the new version of the show and vaguely remember the old show only as the signal that my cartoons were going to be off TV for the rest of the day when I was a child.

Thankfully we still have D’Brickashaw Ferugson.  He hasn’t been on twitter since October when he left us with this gem:

However, upon hearing that the world was in dire need of poignant movie reviews D’Brickashaw jumped to action to save us.

Last night we get the following sign of things to come…

I feel like the movie was a sorry attempt to try to re create The Hangover (good movie) On 2:40 AM Apr 1st 2010 from HTC Peep

I for one can’t wait to see more of this kind of commentary from D’Brickashaw.

As for him not tweeting for almost 5 months… well we have no right to say anything there.
