Here Are The Tweets We Never Got To
@overthinkingit – Why do you think GI Joe of all series proved resistant to the trend of the #GrittyReboot?
— Michael T Ford III (@MTFIII) April 1, 2013
@overthinkingit Also, was the techno/dubstep-esque remix of "7 Nation Army" from the trailers in the movie?????
— Gabrielle Arrowood (@Gabstheboss) April 1, 2013
@overthinkingit which actor has the better agent? Channing Tatum or Bruce Willis?
— Edward Lineberry (@elineberry) April 1, 2013
@overthinkingit Also, thoughts on Dwayne Johnson's penchant for UnderArmour, as evident in Fast 5, GI Joe: Retaliation and, likely, Fast 6.
