Kanye West Praises “Pacific Rim” On Twitter, Ignites Conversation

    Kanye West’s Twitter account currently has less tweets than it does hundreds of millions of followers, so when the Chicago rapper tweets twice in one minute, it’s news.

    Recently attending a pre-screening of the movie Pacific Rim, Wednesday, West took to Twitter to give his opinion on the film. According to him Pacific Rim is one of his favorite movies ever.

    “I saw a pre-screening of Pacific Rim yesterday and it’s easily one of my favorite movies of all time,” ‘Ye said through the social media site.

    In his second tweet, just seconds later, West praised the film’s director, Guillermo del Toro, and disassociated the movie from other “Robot” movies.

    “This is not another “Robot” movie,” he tweeted. “Guillermo del Toro is a master.”

    The $180 million picture has received mixed pre-release press, and it’s difficult to say whether Kanye West’s input will hurt or help the film’s success. Combined, West’s two tweets currently have over 12,500 retweets and 7,500 favorites.

    Numerous people involved with the film responded to West’s words. Ron Perlman, appearing in the movie as a dealer in black-market Kaiju organs, responded to Kanye via Twitter.

    “Need Kaiju parts, u get the fam discount!” Perlman tweeted to West, referring to the film’s “Kaiju” monsters.

    In an interview with The Showbiz 411, actor Robert Kazinsky replied, “No big deal, it’s just Kanye,” he said. “Questionable decisions in most of his life, but in this case, I think I’ll go with he’s got excellent taste when it comes to films.”

    Pacific Rim opens July 12.

    6. Lil Wayne is my close friends so we are together many times. when we worked on a remix with Kanye West (I really dont remember, everybody wants to work with Weezy, nvm…) he tried to kiss Tunechi on da lips… and Weezy punched dat gayfish. Weezy told him he only kiss his dad Birdman and dats normal but no gay shit… den Kanye became mad and started to scream he is da best man of all time… we just laughed at him. Wayne wont work wit him again… swag

    7. This is all a diverson, Yeezus flopped on the charts so he’s trying to find something else to talk about. He too much of a bitch to admit that Weezy gonna outsell him. Young Money We Winnin!!

    8. So if I follow these artists on twitter and write a full-blown article about what said artists talk about on twitter, can I be a Hiphopdx journalist??

    9. Ima let ya’ll finish, but pacific rim was one of kanye’s favorite movies of all time, of all time.

    10. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ye was paid to tweet that (much like his girlfriend’s random praise of Bahrain a while ago) and HHDX were paid to write an article about it (or they just had no other news).

    11. Would you like to become a HHDX editor? Well here’s your chance bitch, all you need is a twitter account, the ability to read, and a keyboard. Pick a rapper, find something he or she posted on social media, and BAM! You are a fucking HHDX editor.

      P.S….dentaldamboy is a faggot who sticks ballpark franks up his ass

    19. Kanye endorses a movie. So what? He’s not the first mainstream artist to get paid to endorse something….

    20. WOW. Robert Kazinsky said Kanye has made “questionable decisions in most his life”. Thats a strong statement, homie.

      Did you grow up with Kanye or something? lol.

      1. If you take time out of your day to write a comment about Kanye’s comment and use that to project onto other people you are an extremely lame individual.

    21. if you like more CGI I guess. I prefer real actors and a dramatic solid story. Dead Presidents now that’s a movie!!!

    22. LOL @ “hundreds of millions”?!? really?? or how about 9…

    24. Lame-o movie of the decade: Pacific Rim

      If you’re one of those dorks who get a hard-on from watching robots fight then this movie is for you. All the normal people can pass on this one. Now that Pacific Rim has ended in a Jaeger Bomb (don’t ask) I’ll spoil-the super-secret plot for Pacific Rim 2: Invasion of Uranus obtained from Guillermo Del Toros official screenp…err…the other side of the cocktail napkin which part 1’s storyline is to be found:

      Giant Kaiju monsters continue their assault on humanity via a new secret home base on Uranus. After failed peace talks and embarrassing defeat after challenging and losing a series of armwrestling matches humanity places it’s hope in MGD, the Macarena Gerbil Dance. Giant dancing robots, resembling small rodents and referred to as “Gerbellings”, are constructed and trained to perform a choreographed dance in unison forming a force known only as the “Macarena” which, as science has proven, always results in the Kaiju joining the dance until it results in a destructive explosion from within a Kaiju monsters’ mid-section. This dance cannot be performed by just any group of pilots – they must be intimately familiar with each other so they can “drift” together and perform dance together correctly. In order to achieve this elite pilots with specific skills are selected and put through weeks of rigorous training consisting of buggery, tea bagging, and watching reruns of Brokeback Mountain until they are “NSync” enough to perform choreographed dancing. The movie concludes with a Gerbelling assault which manages to penetrate Uranus and uses a final MGD to take down the Kaiju home base.
