Mike S tweets Public Enemies

Every Friday night our mad twit Mike S from the Corner of Terror will shanghai The Basement's Twitter account and tweet along to a non-horror movie, all for your Internet pleasure. Cool, yes!?! We think so.

On Feb. 17 -- yes, a Sunday. Dude had technical problems -- he switched on the 2009 Johnny Depp gangster dramas Public Enemies. Below are his thoughts in 140 characters or less.

Apparently, 1933 was the "Golden Age" of bank robberies... #PublicEnemies 

"My friends call me John- a sonofabitch screw like you better address me as "Mr Dillinger"..." #PublicEnemies 

#Trivia- John Dillinger was the first person declared "Public Enemy No. 1" by the FBI. #PublicEnemies

I like the music being played during Christian Bale's chase of "Pretty Boy" Floyd. #PublicEnemies 

#Trivia: The woman that John Dillinger was with the night he was killed is commonly referred to as "The Woman in Red".  

"All that matters is where you're going." #PublicEnemies

The $3.00 dress that Dillinger's lady friend is wearing would cost about $300.00 nowadays... #PublicEnemies 

Somehow, I don't think Dillinger's way of landing a girlfriend (telling her that she is) would work these days. #PublicEnemies 

All it took for Dillinger to get some nookie on a first date was a fur coat. #PublicEnemies 

Why is Christian Bale taking others on a raid with him? He's frickin' BATMAN, dude! #PublicEnemies 

I think I know why Christian Bale became Batman... "Baby Faced" Nelson got away from a bust... #PublicEnemies 

I like the sunglasses Dillinger's wearing at the horse races... I want a pair like that. #PublicEnemies 

Dillinger's going to pull a "Capt Jack Sparrow" and escape prison... #PublicEnemies 

#Trivia: Of the 16 robberies that John Dillinger committed- only one got him a homicide charge, #PublicEnemies

1930's: A time when bank robbers could joke around with cops and reporters after being arrested. #PublicEnemies 

The DA wants to move Dillinger to the State pen- but gets derailed when the Sheriff takes offense to her jail being insulted. #PublicEnemies 

During the Indiana prison escape, the guard's jacked is ripped down the middle of his back- then it's fixed in the next shot. #PublicEnemies 

There's a platoon of soldiers guarding the jail... and Dillinger just quietly drives away... #PublicEnemies 

Johnny Depp gets to sing in this movie- not much, but a bit of a ditty at least... #PublicEnemies 

I don't think Christian Bale likes J Edgar Hoover much anymore- he's bad for Batman's reputation. #PublicEnemies 

"Junior G-Men"... Who else had a corps of child informants? Oh... wait... Hitler. Hoover's an arse. #PublicEnemies 

All it takes is one trigger happy psycho to make a bank job go badly... #PublicEnemies 

The FBI under J Edgar Hoover: Denying a man medical aid for a bullet to the head in order to get information from him. #PublicEnemies 

The gunfight at the Little Bohemia Lodge is what mobster gunfights should look like. #PublicEnemies 

What the heck is that guy firing- an elephant gun? It's ripping the trees apart! #PublicEnemies 

"Baby Face" Nelson is in for a world of hurt... Christian Bale's on his ass... #PublicEnemies 

I told you "Baby Face"... I done warn you Christian Bale was on your ass... #PublicEnemies 

Careful Dillinger- the Syndicate's not too happy about you irritating the FBI... #PublicEnemies 

The FBI under J Edgar Hoover: Slapping women around as part of interrogation is perfectly okay. #PublicEnemies 

It's like I'm watching an interrogation under the auspices of The Patriot Act... #PublicEnemies 

Christian Bale don't tolerate no fat ass cop smacking women around. Why? He's Christian frickin' Bale- THAT'S WHY? #PublicEnemies 

And the set-up of the climax begins... #PublicEnemies 

Yeah, I don't think Dillinger would go see a Shirley Temple movie... #PublicEnemies 

Wow... It takes balls to walk into the headquarters of the police team that's hunting you... #PublicEnemies 

#Trivia: The Woman in Red (who was with Dillinger the night he was killed) really wore orange- the lights made it look red. #PublicEnemies

Humans are morbid- After Dillinger was killed- people dipped their hankies in his blood as mementos of the event. #PublicEnemies 

As the credits roll, one last piece of Dillinger Trivia: Many people believe that a double was killed that night. #PublicEnemies 

Oh, I almost forgot. I'm giving #PublicEnemies a Good!
