can Twitter predict box office?; reality shows hit a new low; buy your way into X-Men; and more: leftover links

Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But there’s no reason to let this stuff go to waste: I can still share it with you, for your amusement, and start the new week with a clean slate.

Herewith this week’s leftover links, in no particular order:

The Twitter box-office article is interesting, particularly since Boxoffice.com has been doing Twitter analysis for a few months now.
