Steelers Lose to the Vikings

Aw man, heart-breaking (era-ending?!) loss for the #Steelers. On the other hand, as TBH said, they looked like the Best 0-4 Team, Ever! #NFL

Yevgeny Kafelnikov HOF Snub

Look, I'm happy for the #Tennis #HOF nominees, but it's an absolute crime that #Kafelnikov is not in. #TskTsk #ATP

Madras Cafe

Madras Cafe: Ol' college try tackling a complex, controversial subject. Nice to see Bollywood making these kinds of films. Good first step.

Steelers Lose to Bears

Don't know what's more heartbreaking: TBH still believing in the #Steelers in the 3rd quarter or me benching the #Bears defense in fantasy.

Nayak

Nayak: Looser, edgier, jazzier Ray. Tour-de-force from a (way) against-type Kumar (our legendary tragic-romantic Bengali hero) @SidGrauman

Devi

Devi: Still powerful and sadly relevant even after all these years. Those final images still scar your brain. @SidGrauman

RIP Ken Norton

RIP Ken Norton. Went toe-to-toe with Ali and more than held his own. Remember when heavyweight boxing was great? Sigh...

Steelers Lose to Bengals on MNF

Hoo boy! I knew this was going to be a lost #Steelers season. But TBH is gonna hold on to that one nice-looking TD pass to #Moye. #MNF #NFL

Zimbabwe Wins a Test

It's not often that the minnows are allowed to shine. Great win for underdog #Zimbabwe & the spirit of #Cricket. #ZimvPak

Mayweather Beats Canelo

As the @BBC commentators said of #Azharuddin/#Gower: like picking dandelions. @FloydMayweather completely outclassed @TeamCanelo. #TheOne

Mayweather Beating Canelo

It's over. Poor kid #Canelo is being out-boxed/punched/fast-ed by #Mayweather. Welcome to the big time young man. Fight back! #TheOne

RIP Ray Dolby

RIP Ray Dolby. I'm old enough to remember Dolby NR on cassettes. Movies would not be what they were if not for him.

Charulata

Charulata: My Bengali card should be revoked for waiting this long to see this romantic masterpiece. Beautiful & heartbreaking. @SidGrauman

Jalsaghar

Jalsaghar: Sadly the metaphor for Bengal's grand decline in the face of commercial progress rings true 50 years later. Biswas is magnificent

10 Years!

@gingerm @evolutionofaman @susievdepianto Look how skinny I am! No wonder I'm smiling. 10 years?! Time flies when you're having fun :-)

Prisoners

#Prisoners: Nice sub-Haneke effort by Villeneuve. Comes close to transcending genre roots. Great stuff from Deakins, Gyllenhaal & Jackman.

09 September 2013

Aparajito

Aparajito: Melancholy examination of making a new life against the constraints of tradition. Still apropos some 60 years later! @TheAcademy

Pather Panchali

Pather Panchali: Still devastating after all these years. Something new every time. Sly critique of gender roles this time out. @TheAcademy

Serena Wins US Open 2013

Congrats #Serena on overcoming a tough #Vika & winning the #USOpen. Very close to taking #GOAT from #Steffi/#Navratilova...but not yet. #WTA

Steelers Worse Than Pirates?!

I hated to tell TBH, but the writing had been on the wall all along that the #Pirates would have a better season than the #Steelers! #NFL

07 September 2013

Salinger

#Salinger: Sensational. Tawdry. Compelling. Engrossing. Entertaining. Yo snooty critics: never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Futurama - Jurassic Bark

Everyone else also thinks that #JurassicBark is the best #Futurama?! When did this happen! Also, I'm sad it's gone. http://t.co/oHhPG7gHOe

Pain & Gain

Pain & Gain: Who better than to make an awesome parody of a Michael Bay film than the awesome...Michael Bay! Surprisingly dark...& awesome!

02 September 2013

Federer Loses to Robredo at US Open

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a more depressed #Federer. Don't let them convince you otherwise, he's still #GOAT (for now) #USOpen #ATP

Kids Like You & Me

Kids Like You & Me: A for effort. Tries valiantly to showcase the manic energy of the #BlackLips...in the Middle East! Nice try. @cinefamily
