The Warriors Three may be joining Anthony Hopkins as Odin in Kenneth Branagh's "Thor," but at least one writer would rather have seen Sean Connery play the Allfather.
Elsewhere, big names in comics turned out for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" last night, including Kevin Smith, who compared his daughter's relationship with the franchise to his own experience with "Star Wars." Far more comics faces were gathered in New York, though, for the Spider-Man summit Fred Van Lente tweeted about yesterday. Dan Slott posted a pic from the group's Marvel-funded dinner. Check that out after the jump along with Gail Simone's first tweet from her Xbox 360, Steve Niles' reaction to last night's meteor shower and Matthew Sturges' Imogen Heap dilemma.
It's all in the Twitter Report for November 17, 2009.

"New Moon" pt 3: @ThatKevinSmith (3/3) like how my parents must've felt when they'd take young me to STAR WARS flicks: "I'm glad the kid likes it, but I'm confused as f---."
"New Moon" pt 4: @KatzMoney Taylor Lautner's wig deserves an Oscar nom.
