Tune in to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards

Fright NightReports that the West Memphis Three might be released from prison raised interest in their situation on Twitter this morning. Their murder case has long been a topic of speculation, and many, including Joe Hill and Gerry Duggan, look forward to seeing them freed.

Some fine picto-tweets showed up today, too, with Terry Moore making a Nancy Callahan sketch post and Stan Lee sharing hangout pic with some "Glee" folks. Links to those can be found after the jump along with the number of times Christopher Mintz-Plasse plans on seeing "Fright Night" today and news that ROM: Spaceknight fans may find to be of interest.

Conan"Conan the Barbarian" may attract some audience members based solely on its bare-chested sword fights and monsters this week. For Matt Fraction, however, the key selling point seems to be Morgan Freeman's voice (or that of someone who sounds suspiciously similar to Freeman).

Joe Hill, meanwhile, dug BBC America's new spy show "The Hours." His micro-review, a hint about a change in "Batman Beyond" and a tease from Fred Van Lente about a new project he's working on piqued our interest in the feed this morning and made the retweet list.

Harry PotterDC Comics isn't just trying to reach out to new readers in comics shops this year. The new trailer for their company-wide "New 52" reboot is going to be shown on TV and in movie theaters in order to appeal to wider masses. That strategy received some support in the Twitter-stream last night, though J.M. DeMatteis thought it looked dark, and Gail Simone called for rougher language.

It was a good night for sketches, too, as Phil Jimenez posted a Wonder Woman piece he made, and Cameron Stewart gave Batman a go using an iPad. Gaze upon their art and learn a thing or two about being British from Warren Ellis after the jump.

Those tweets and more ranked atop the Twitter Report for August 17, 2011.

Sgt RockShould hitting 600 home runs qualify you for a role in the new Sgt. Rock movie? It's a good enough reason as far as Phil Hester is concerned. He proposed giving Jim Thome a shot at the part of Bulldozer if everything finally comes together on the project.

Elsewhere, Brian Michael Bendis has obviously been keeping an eye on "The Dark Knight Rises." He compared it to what he saw on the the "Powers" TV show set, which he said also got a little crazy. More on why, Jim Lee's late hours leading up to the DC Comics reboot and a story of Juggalo harassment made the days list of retweets.

VampiresNow that Texas Gov. Rick Perry is all in for the Republican presidential nomination race, we'll surely be seeing his name a lot more frequently in the feed. Joe Hill requested a different type of GOP debate between Perry and Mitt Romany last night, while Jonathan Hickman was stuck on rules that vampire stories need to adhere to.

It was a great weekend for artwork, though. Joshua Luna teased his next project, and Mike Norton tweeted some sketches he made at Wizard World Chicago. Their work, a truly awesome Dazzler/Psylocke piece by Janet Lee and news of an unusual birthday present made the list of tweets that brightened our Monday morning.

Ultimate Spider-ManWhatever the cards looked like that you received for your birthday this year, they probably weren't as cool as Jim Lee's. He prefers the DIY variety and shared a picture of the creations he received this year.

Dan Slott, meanwhile, had the opportunity to discuss Spider-Man with his exterminator. What they talked about, an excerpt from the must-read #whengirlsrundc thread, and a note on the 4-year anniversary of artist Mike Wieringo's passing were the tweets that stuck out today.

Jim CarreyStan Lee has been an exceptionally popular guy since Comic-Con a few weeks ago — or so his many photo-posts would have us believe. Most recently, it seems he's been buddying up with Jim Carrey.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" is still making friends too. Paul Cornell, I think, hit the nail on the head with his assessment of how the film represented World War II in the Marvel Universe. See what he thought, what Mark Sable wondered about the film and what Pete Woods thinks might help him sell a few more comics. Brainstorming and retirement proposals await you after the jump.

Locke and KeyWith all of the terrible happenings in the news this week, today felt like the perfect Wednesday to veer away from contentious opinions, looting in London and big events impacting individuals who happen to work in comics. So here, without further ado are the ten tweets in the Twitter Report feed from the last 24 hours that were most likely to induce happiness.

They include details about the "Locke and Key" game from Joe Hill, Eric Powell Godzilla art and Stan Lee smiling next to a real life Stripperella. (Spoiler alert: He looks really, really happy.) They are in no particular order except for the best one being last.

Dark Knight RisesWhether they live in the U.K. or the U.S., comics creators in the feed have been expressing collective shock over the course of the last day in response to the London riots that broke out over the weekend. Simon Pegg and Mark Millar both offered their perspectives, and Tony Lee had his travel plans impacted.

Thankfully, Lea Hernandez offered a beacon of light to the day's tweets with some "Doctor Who"-inspired bunny art. Check out the magic down below, along with a brilliant career suggestion for David Schwimmer.

Rise of the Planet of the ApesThe rebooted "Planet of the Apes" franchise proved to be a juggernaut in theaters over the weekend, and the tweet reactions it received show why. Jhonen Vasquez claimed to have accidentally stumbled into a different ape film, but I've got my doubts about that.

Rafael Kayanan seemed to dig it, though. Find out why, see how Brian Michael Bendis feels about recent events in "Entourage," and understand why Cheez-Its creep out Jim Lee down below.
