about

F This Movie Fest is my favorite day of the year. A time for movie fans to get together across the globe to marathon movies and prove that, for a few hours, Twitter can be more than the internet's trash can.

This year we watch the movies of 1990. Thirty years ago, I was 12 and excited for the first new decade of my conscious life. In 2020, I'm cautiously optimistic for the coming decade. I have no idea what the world will look like in ten years, but I know what I'll be doing on March 7. I hope you join us! #FThisMovieFest

lyrics

Thirty years ago
Things were so much easier
A world in love brought down the Berlin Wall
And all the movies that we saw
Were somehow better when
We saw them at the mall

Turtle shells shone twice as bright
Graboids grabbed us in the night
Ponytails swung high and mighty
Everything was all right

Now we live in fear
It’s getting hot in here
The end is drawing near
Before we disintegrate
Turn back the clock and celebrate
The films of yesteryear

F this Movie Fest is just the best
I bet you’d all agree
Back in 1990
I was just a kid
Now I’m a grown up
With a Twitter feed
That I’m keeping just to read
What everybody tweets this year
On this day we gather here
A movie-loving fan community
Oh and F This Movie Fest is all I need

When ninjas ruled the world
Schwarzenegger’s bicep curled
Al Pacino joined the Oscar race
Monsters subterranean
Steve Seagal posed with a gun
And Neeson grew a nose to spite his face

Everyone is welcome
So bring your friends
To the Twitter movie festival
You wish would never end

F this Movie Fest is still the best
I bet you’d all agree
Back in 1990
I was just a kid
Now I’m a grown up
With a Twitter feed
That I’m keeping just to see
What makes us laugh until we cry
Which celebrities stop by
Can we get it trending higher
Than the latest dumpster fire?

F This Movie Fest is all I need
(Except for friends and family)
F This Movie Fest is all we need
(Except for DVDs and love and air to breathe)
F This Movie Fest is all we need
Movie love for movie lovers makes us family
