Been mourning Twitterrific for 3 years, so was happy to belatedly discover that its creator now offers a reader, Tapestry, that makes this joint considerably less bland, with color-coded list integration and customizable font / text size and such. Can’t post/reply yet, but they’re working on it.

“Would like to” or “wish to,” pick one. Not this.
(Hard to articulate why, though. You need the “would” prior to “like” because otherwise it reads like the filmmakers just enjoy thanking the following people generally, whereas “wish” doesn’t require it, but is that all it is?)
