Folks are currently trying to stay busy as they self-isolate at home, and luckily we have social media to distract us from these trying times. Many people have taken to Twitter to ask fun questions ranging from “What movie meals would you like to eat?” to “How would you change a movie title to fit the quarantine?” The latest movie-related question to hit the site was posed by horror author Stephen King. The writer has been pretty active on social media lately, even sharing a hilarious Pennywise meme back when people started to panic buy household items. Now, King has taken to Twitter to ask people to share their favorite movie lines.
