<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Jenn! She's my partner in GirlsIRL and a super duper smarty pants. This chick is a hustler man, she was on NBC's The Apprentice and has been a high school cheerleading coach, publicist, reporter, and writer for CNN, Huffington Post - and a ton of other media outlets. Rad chickadee. I heart her long time. Anywho, here's her latest and greatest, and I only have one more thing left to say ... HIT IT JENN!!!!! </editorsnote>

And… another epic Sunday Night Movie Tweetalong. Last week we conquered The Karate Kid with special appearances by Billy Zabka and Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell. This week we live tweeted TOP GUN. David Arquette and Chaz Bono were awesome enough to join us!!! William Zabka of Karate Kid fame returned for another week of wittiness and Mr. Belding hopped in for a hot second again too. Fuck yeah for star studded #SMT representation, right?
Don’t Tom and I make such a lovely couple? Yes that’s MY head photo-shopped onto Kelly McGillis’ body. Creativity award points go to @romeapple for her crazy dope photo-shopping skills.
What is #SMT? You can see this explanatory blog post about it, but basically Los Angeles based duo Matt Bilinsky and Mike McGuiness created the Sunday Movie Tweetalong. It’s a weekly participatory virtual event, with a bunch of fun and clever (read: ridiculous) people simultaneously live-tweeting commentary while watching a classic film selected by Matt and Mike. It’s Mystery Science Theater 3000 for 2012.
(Author’s note: I keep bolding my little tagline: “It’s Mystery Science Theater 3000 for 2012” so when this becomes a world-wide phenomenon that sweeps all seven continents I can say I coined that phrase. You’re welcome guys)
Anyway
This week was a really fun #SMT, especially because Top Gun is SO FUCKING HOMOEROTIC that if you think in terms of awkward gay sex every scene (every line!!!) in the movie is like LOL funny. I’ll post some of my tweets below, but I’m not famous or cool, so here are some tweets from David Arquette first.
Chaz Bono gets in on the action
As usual, @JeninaPeraza was my wing woman for the #SMT night. She’s the Goose to my Maverick or the Iceman to my Viper. Love her!
Rome contributes her tweets and her art for the cause
Belding and Zabka showed up again too! @WilliamZabka REPRESENTS!
Me! Me! Me! My tweets! Look at me! There were actually even more, but mercifully I will spare you from having to see all 10,000,000 Top Gun tweets in my timeline.
Join us next week and follow the hashtag #SMT for the next feature selection. Place #SMT in the search bar in Twitter to see the full fruits of our labor. Here are some fun #SMT tweets from the night. I should write #SMT one more time. How about here? #SMT
