60 of 199 · most liked firstTWISTER is such a great movie. The good storm chasers have sensors that are balls, which are round and wholesome, and the bad storm chasers have sensors that are cubes, the most evil shape.
positive · AI labelView post →Not for nothing, every mid-nineties movie with a scientist as a protagonist has this as a plot-point. Jurassic Park, Twister, Chain Reaction, all of them position corporate driven science as inherently problematic. I wonder how that narrative vanished in pop-culture.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight in The December Comfort Watches: Twister, a delightfully undemanding-on-the-brain action film weirdly packed with award-winning actors that had the good luck to be in the right place at the right time with the right visual and sound effects: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/14/t...
positive · AI labelView post →I was about to say that I haven’t seen a movie in theaters since Deadpool and wolverine, but then I remembered I saw Twister(1996) in 4DX and it absolutely slapped but for reals I don’t watch movies in theaters unless it’s for work ☺️ parenthood!
positive · AI labelView post →Ok now that the new Twister movie is out I want to speak my truth and say that Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt is an underrated hot couple
neutral · AI labelView post →reminds me of Twister (1996), when my hometown theater put a bunch of signs up saying "THE FILM IS VERY LOUD" and begging parents not to bring their babies to the movie, because i'm pretty sure someone did and complained that their baby didn't like it
neutral · AI labelView post →I loved the original Twister immensely when I was a little kid - and in retrospect, that movie may be one of the reasons I got into drones, as remote data collection devices are a pretty central plot point.
positive · AI labelView post →30 years ago today TWISTER was released in theaters. Jan de Bont‘s worthy follow up to SPEED is a spectacular blend of digital & practical FX anchored by a 5 star character actor kill squad. One of my top 3 PSH performances & the movie that finally made Bill Paxton the leading man. We’ve got cows!
positive · AI labelView post →When I talk about the supporting cast of a film being a murderers’ row, TWISTER (1996) is always exhibit A.
positive · AI labelView post →a fun fact about the director of Twister is that the first movie he ever directed in his life was Speed and the second one was Twister
neutral · AI labelView post →Trump’s Trade Tornado is like someone remade the Twister movie but instead of Aunt Meg’s house it’s the United States economy.
neutral · AI labelView post →My Gen Z co-worker and I are about to come to blows. I’m describing the plot to the 1996 Blockbuster Thriller, “Twister”, and they think it sounds like the dumbest movie ever.
neutral · AI labelView post →Per request of my daughter, we watched Twister last night and Twisters tonight. I’m revoking her movie-choosing privileges.
negative · AI labelView post →Listen don't invite me to your podcast about the movie Twister without expecting to get a bunch of scientific breakdowns of if a cow could actually fly or not.
neutral · AI labelView post →It probably says something about American culture and cinema that the new Twister movie directly on screen kills WAY more people than the original one did
neutral · AI labelView post →Naked Twister from the forthcoming Rugby Helps Our Heroes film: 'Film Night with The Boys'
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm rewatching Twister and goddamn does this movie hold up. Effects wise and narrative wise, you could make the same movie today with updated science and the "academic scientist" versus "corporate scientist" narrative would still hold up.
positive · AI labelView post →watching Twister (a perfect movie) and missing Philip Seymour Hoffman
positive · AI labelView post →partner put on Twister but made me guess the movie and during the intro I blurted out “TORNADO TIME” which is honestly what the movie and/or the sequel should have been called.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you watch the movie Twister backwards it’s the story of friendly tornados saving lives, rebuilding destroyed towns and playing with cows. 🌪️
neutral · AI labelView post →"Twister" movie where it's played as a martial arts tournament run by evil villain story
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Twister—and ONLY the movie Twister—is unrentable from remaining Redbox machines and no one knows why even after weeks of people reverse-engineering the kiosks. Twister is Redbox's last DVD. If you know why this is happening, please tell me www.404media.co/redboxs-last...
neutral · AI labelView post →Yep been awhile. Time to watch the original Twister. Good movie with solid action #filmsky #twister #action #90s

neutral · AI labelView post →Both Twister and Twisters are movie options on this flight. I've watched them both recently. Yet I can't resist hitting play. :)

neutral · AI labelView post →what if Twister is the origin movie for Sharknado(I have never seen either)
neutral · AI labelView post →3 years ago tonight, I chased the historic December 2021 Iowa Derecho. I saw 3 tornadoes that night all traveling at an absurd 80-90 mph forward speed. Each was a long track EF-2 and one of the tornadoes I saw ran over the Twister Hill movie site from the movie Twister.
neutral · AI labelView post →*watching the film Twister* this kinda happened to my friend Nessa
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's comfy film. Twister 1996. This movie got me fascinated with weather and storms. #Filmsky #Films
positive · AI labelView post →Twister is currently on AMC fyi which I personally consider to be a very patriotic film in studying scientific weather phenomenons in the quest for public safety and also looking great in a tank top
positive · AI labelView post →I'll watch Twister whenever its on. I don't think it's a great film, I just like looking at tornados cause tornados are cool Volcanos are cool but I wouldn't bother with Volcano or Dante's Peak. That's why you put clips of Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman in between the footage of tornados.
neutral · AI labelView post →"I don't know how we're supposed to top a movie like Twister, bruh." "Put in more than one twister, bruh." "Bruh." "BRUH."
neutral · AI labelView post →Counterpoint: I love Twister because it's Twister, among the most original, dopily enthusiastic, great-supporting-performance-stuffed blockbusters of the 1990s. Everyone has one movie they are convinced they love deep down more than anyone, & mine is Twister. (Aunt Meg's gravy = its own food group!)
positive · AI labelView post →30 years ago the film "Twister" was released in theaters. Strong characters, actors, and shots drove an entertaining movie despite the relatively early CGI. Several terms taken out of context and a few over-the-top scenes. Still waiting on NSSL to predict an F5.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night watched my second favorite disaster movie (first is obvi “Twister”) The acid lake scene still traumatized me, very happy Roughy the dog was okay, and Linda Hamilton be looking fine 🥵
positive · AI labelView post →I finally watched the 2024 Twisters film, I really liked it, not as good as the first Twister movie, but I would definitely watch it again.
positive · AI labelView post →Pretty sure this is the TWISTER trailer I saw in a theater back in 1996 that left that kind of audience murmur behind that happens only very occasionally. youtu.be/g-ksfezoGGg?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Lots of meteorologists and other weather people love the movie Twister. This is a delightful conversation about tornadoes, pop culture, weird (good-weird) fascinations and how they start 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/torn... by @andreatweather.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →With all the bad weather in the Midwest the family movie tonight is Twister with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Stay tuned for flying cows 🐄
positive · AI labelView post →Just stumbled on a Japanese film on Amazon Prime called ‘Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes’ and it’s instantly jumped into my top five time travel stories, up there with Primer and the Alan Moore / Dave Gibbons Time Twister from 2000ad, and that Spanish film that never gets shown anywhere.
neutral · AI labelView post →Twister is not a movie about tornados, it’s a remake of His Girl Friday with debris.
positive · AI labelView post →Absolutely howling at the fact that they decided to shoot this interview in the middle of the twister from the film Twister (1996).
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, just realized that Jan de Bont did this two movies in a row with another Kubrick film when the tornado ripped through the drive-in showing of The Shining in Twister
neutral · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed our post-viewing discussion following Twister last week!

neutral · AI labelView post →Twister (1996). One of my favorite 90s comfort films. I even saw this in the theater back in the day! Love that it has an amazing cast of character actors. I used to quote this film all the time. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Alright, finished Twisters, and it was super fun. Anyone have any fun disaster film recs? I loved Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow, Twister, and Twisters. Wasn't too keen on Armageddon. But that gives you an idea of how long it's been since I've seen a good disaster movie. 😂
