The movie "Home Alone" is a christmas staple around our house. I think we can recite each and every line by rote.
By sheer luck I happened upon the greatest use of a Twitter List I think I've ever seen.
The list is http://twitter.com/HATProject/homealone and it was created by http://www.wearenation.co.uk/
They setup Twitter profiles for each of the cast members. Starting on Dec 22nd. (the same day the movie is set to begin) those cats members started tweeting their lines in real time. Additional elements were brought into play as well, music wasn't blip'd but rather various YouTube videos were found that played the appropriate song at the right time. The use of TwitPics was also used with great amusement.
In an effort to capture what was happening I fired up my screen capture and shot 4 minutes of the tweet stream.
Here's the many cast members and their Twitter profiles.
Each has a great bio and custom twitter background.
