RIP Richard Schickel

RIP #RichardSchickel. Part of the golden generation of old school film critics. Loved his authoritative writing. We could use more like him.

Hello, My Name Is Doris

#HelloMyNameIsDoris: Delightful comedy that goes beyond its seemingly sketch-ish premise. Field is fantastic. Deft direction by Showalter.

Bill Walton & Dickie V Call the Cavs-Pacers Game

heav·en: #BillWalton & #DickieV extolling the (many) virtues of #LeBron (& #Korver?!) calling the #Cavs game! Most fun I've had all year! 😂

The Lego Batman Movie

#TheLegoBatmanMovie: Terrific fun! Somehow manages to make fun of & remind us why we love #Batman in the first place. Your move #Batfleck...

Trainspotting Oral History

Brilliant #Trainspotting oral history by the too-young-to-remember @alexritman. 90s were the *best* for Indie film! http://ow.ly/14EO308SKua

Land of Mine

#LandOfMine: Stunning, nerve-racking piece of superior craftsmanship. Raises many uncomfortable questions. Gut-wrenching perfs esp the kids.

NFL HOF Voters As Bad As MLB

@jaydimes You're right. These guys's moral relativism is becoming worse than #BBWA. #Pudge gets into #MLB #HOF but not #BarryBonds/#Clemens.

Terrell Owens is Worthy of the HOF

@jaydimes In every universe known to man #TerrellOwens is a #HOF-er...even if he acted up. He lit it up in #SuperBowl ...with a broken foot!

Terrell Owens Doesn't Make It Into NFL HOF Again

Happy for #LaDainian,
#JasonTaylor & esp #TD for #NFL #HOF. But as much as I love his backstory #KurtWarner doesn't deserve it before #TO.

Dark Night

#DarkNight: Sensational, sobering & incredibly thought-provoking from director Sutton & his talented cast. One of the best movies of 2016!

RIP Bharati Mukherjee
