100 Bullets - Wilt

100 Bullets - Wilt: Done! A fiery end to the epic series. @brianazzarello gets all the credit but artist Eduardo Risso deserves most of it.

War Horse

War Horse: Nobody does it better. Seriously, nobody in the entire history of humankind does this sort of thing better than Steven Spielberg!

100 Bullets - Dirty

100 Bullets - Dirty: My other favourite character gets killed. Oh well, at least I'm this close to finishing the series. @vertigo_comics

Fela!

Fela!: The most fun musical, ever! When people talk about a tour-de-force performance they need to see Sahr Ngaujah in action! Wow!

100 Bullets - Once Upon a Crime

100 Bullets - Once Upon a Crime: Sad, my favourite Minuteman bites the bullet, literally. @vertigo_comics

The Help

The Help: Stellar work by Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Allison Janney & Jessica Chastain. Too bad it was wasted in this paternalistic tripe

Australia Thrashes India In Test 1

Somebody forgot to tell #Ponting & #Australia that they're supposed to be over. How else to explain that huge victory over #India?! #AusvInd

Main Street

Main Street: Modest, gentle film with a huge cast. The kind of movie that John Sayles would have directed the h*ll out of in his prime.

Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares For Me

Two of TBH's favourite things: Nina Simone and cats! Awesome video for "My Baby Just Cares For Me"! http://t.co/NucY2BEP

Young Adult

Young Adult: Entertaining, but the bloom has come off the Cody/Reitman rose. Theron was good, but Patton Oswalt totally steals the show!

The Closer

The Closer: With apologies to every other show, this has the best ensemble on TV. Wish they could find a spot for good ol' Fred Willard! ;-)

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo: Fincher at his near-best! Mara is very good, not quite as great as Rapace. Surprisingly Craig is fantastic!

Season's Greetings

Merry Christmas, sorry, Happy Holidays everyone!

Richard Karn Celebrity Sighting

4th-Greatest Celebrity Sighting, Ever!: Richard Karn from Home Improvement. I resisted the urge to ask him to fix my heater! ;-)

Steelers Thump The Rams

Great win for the #Steelers against the hapless #Rams. If @tpolamalu keeps this up, a very deep playoff run is very possible! :-) #NFL #AFC

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Film)

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: Gary Oldman, like the film, is very good. Just not quite as great as Alec Guinness and the 1979 miniseries.

Larry Merchant Celebrity Sighting

2nd-Greatest Celebrity Sighting, Ever!: Larry Merchant at the Landmark! I resisted the urge to ask him about Floyd Mayweather! ;-)

American Horror Story

American Horror Story: Gave up on it. Why? It was keeping me up at night! Why? Because it was scary & gross. My heart couldn't take it!

Catching Hell

Catching Hell: Bloody h*ll! The best #30For30 & one of the best movies of the year! Another great film by @BaLueBolivar (Alex Gibney). @ESPN

Matt Barkley Staying at USC

Yay! @MattBarkley is staying at #USC. Im back on the #Trojans bandwagon! Hopefully MB will show the insufferable Mark Sanchez how it's done!

The Dark Knight Rises IMAX Prologue

The Dark Knight Rises IMAX Prologue: Dude! No, seriously. DUDE! Truly larger than life! Can't bloody wait for 20 July 2012! #TDK #TDKR

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Heather Booted Off Top Chef

Yes! Heather ("Queen of Mean") got booted off #TopChef. Karma is quite the female dog ain't it?! @BravoTopChef @heatherterhune

Great Jay Williams Interview

Wow! Introspective & heartfelt interview with @RealJayWilliams on @DLHQ today. Not often you get this with athletes. http://t.co/XOT4nTss

The Hunter

The Hunter: A lean mean literary machine. Great work by Stark/Westlake. It's sad that I read the Darwyn Cooke comic before the actual book!

Bored To Death

Bored To Death: Quirky, offbeat, a little twee perhaps, but I loved it. They added Hodgman & Hammer's (Mike & Sledge) but alas to no avail.

Hung

Hung: Low-key fun while it lasted. The Jane's (Adams & Thomas) were great. I guess even fictional Detroit can't catch a break these days.

Steelers Lose To Niners

Gotta be honest, that was a brutal bloody loss for the #Steelers. #BigBen has engineered way too many wins to pin the loss on him. #NFL #AFC

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

Aw-bloody-some! The Dark Knight Rises trailer starring @mvp86hinesward! Cant wait for 20 Jul 2012! @steelers #TDK #TDKR http://t.co/KlRw5fa1

The Muppets

The Muppets: Thoroughly enjoyable. But a meta Muppet movie (MMM?) is not quite the same as a "real" Muppet movie. Still loved it though!

Homeland

Homeland: Ridiculous but entertaining (so I guess that makes it ridiculously entertaining)! They should just give Claire Danes the Emmy now!

George Vecsey Final NY Times Column

Sad when grand old newspapermen say goodbye. George #Vecsey will be missed immensely. @nytimes @nytimessports http://t.co/DeitXQsw

RIP Cesaria Evora

RIP Cesaria Evora. Her hauntingly beautiful voice will be missed. Perfect for a winter's evening in front of the fire. http://t.co/lQv6gHQY

Fracture

Fracture: Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling - a match made in once-great/now-sold-out acting heaven! Mildly entertaining stuff.

Heather on Top Chef

Dude, Heather on #TopChef is quite possibly the meanest reality tv contestant, ever! @BravoTopChef @heatherterhune

100 Bullets - Decayed

100 Bullets - Decayed: Finally, the main story is gathering steam. This is one long, sorry epic, comic book, sorry graphic novel, series!

RIP Christopher Hitchens

RIP Christopher Hitchens. Whether you agreed with him or not, you had to appreciate his ferocious intelligence and wit.

Rahul Dravid Bradman Oration

Rahul #Dravid is a great sportsman & an even better ambassador for #Cricket. Read his classy #Bradman Oration. #TheWall http://t.co/jwcjNSFN

Stephen Merchant NY Times Profile

The great #StephenMerchant (the power behind @rickygervais) finally gets some long-overdue media love! @smhelloladies http://t.co/KIcr1Ext

The Notebook

The Notebook: Yes, I was the only person on Earth who hadn't seen it. Yes, Gosling & McAdams ruled. Yes, Garner & Rowlands stole the film!

Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids: Pretty funny, but nowhere close to the critical acclaim it received. Melissa McCarthy, though, deserved her acclaim! Wow!

Andy Bull on Roy Fredericks

Another brilliant piece of writing by @AndyBullatGNM "Roy Fredericks aka Kid Cement" #WestIndies #Cricket http://t.co/hqXgNFZ0

Trent Reznor & Karen O - The Immigrant Song

Weird, creepy, awesome video by the great David #Fincher for @trent_reznor & #KarenO's cover of "The Immigrant Song" http://t.co/GK4LX8YB

Talking to James Harrison

@jaydimes Umm...have you seen James #Harrison?! I ain't telling him nothing! Maybe #Troy can talk to him for me. :-)

James Harrison Suspended

Totally unfair about @jharrison9292 suspension. Tough game against @49ers becomes harder! TBH still believes in her beloved @steelers though

Luck

Luck: Terrifically exciting! Expertly crafted by the genius that is Michael Mann. Can't wait for the actual show! Loved the Plaschke cameo!

Boardwalk Empire

Boardwalk Empire: Messy but entertaining S2 capped by those gut-wrenching final 2 episodes. Not sure I can bring myself to watch S3.

TBH Right Again About Giants-Cowboys

Noooooo! TBH told me not to switch from the #Giants-#Cowboys game for #BoardwalkEmpire! I didn't listen. Talk about a double-whammy! Oh man!

100 Bullets - Decayed

100 Bullets - Decayed: Now we're cooking! The story is really gathering steam. This is the most reading I've done in a while!

Awaara

Awaara: A true gem from the Golden Era of Bollywood. Thanks to @LACMA, we got to see Raj Kapoor & Nargis light up the big screen once more.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Mini-Series)

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: Tad bit dated but still some of the best TV, ever! Great performances highlighted by the legendary Alec Guinness!

Missed Bradley Cooper on Inside the Actor's Studio

@jaydimes Missed him. Was he funny? TBH and I are both fans.

Limitless

Limitless: Ha! Very entertaining and totally far-fetched. Good directing by Neil Burger. Nice star turn by Bradley Cooper. Good stuff.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (The Book)

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: Granted I should have read it long ago, but man was it great. John le Carre's old-fashioned spy world is awesome!

Roethlisberger Toughs Out Win Against Browns

Say what you will about #BigBen #Roethlisberger (& I've said plenty), you can't deny that he's one tough so-and-so! Here we go #Steelers!

Virender Sehwag ODI Record

OMBG! @virendersehwag obliterated the ODI record with a 149-ball 219! #Viru even made the @ESPN homepage! #IndvWI

RIP Harry Morgan

RIP Harry Morgan. One of my all-time favourite character actors. He will be missed.

My Week with Marilyn

My Week with Marilyn: Entertaining little cutesy trifle. Michelle Williams & Eddie Redmayne are great but Kenneth Branagh steals the show!

Unguarded

Unguarded: Powerful, frightening look at just how destructive addiction can be. Another solid @ESPN #30For30 documentary.

Page Eight

Page Eight: Aw-bloody-some! The great Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes, Judy Davis & greatest of all, Bill Nighy, in top form!

Matt Barkley Not Heisman Finalist

Matt #Barkley was robbed of being a #Heisman finalist. Oh well, let's hope Andrew #Luck wins one for the #Pac12. #USC

Aw man, what a beautiful little film! Stop-motion animation for our digital age. Address Is Approximate by @thetheoryUK http://t.co/n85O6ZwG

Hot in Cleveland

Hot in Cleveland: Betty White & Don Rickles are a match made in comedy heaven. What took so long? Also, too bad the show's not about them.

Unbroken

Unbroken: The writing itself is a bit prosaic, but the incredible true story completely makes up for it. Louis Zamperini truly is a hero.

Indo-Pak Express Disbands

Sad. Looks like the Peace Train comes to a stop. The #IndoPakExpress breaks up. Best of luck to @rohanbopanna & Aisam-ul-Haq. #ATP

Any #Steelers win at this stage of the season is a good win, right? Right?! Suddenly, I'm nervous about the #Bengals. Uh-oh... #AFC #NFL

The Immortals

The Immortals: Better than expected. Incredible eye-popping visuals thanks to director Tarsem. Plus, Superman kicked some major 3-D a**!

9/11 Remembrance Piece

RIP to all those who died on 9/11. Here's a little remembrance I wrote about that day: http://t.co/mwp6RSr #IWill @911day

Postcards From Gander

If it’s one thing I have come to realize in my advancing years, it’s that time moves fast, very fast. And sadly, as it moves inexorably to the, well, I don’t want to get too morose here, but as it moves towards whatever it is that it moves to, it also starts to fade. Experiences that were so vivid and immediate tend to fade, and this fading accelerates the more that time advances.

It is, therefore, perhaps not that difficult to believe then that it has already been 10 years since that day when the world that we knew changed forever. It is also not that difficult to believe that the images, the, sounds, the everything from that day, once so overwhelming and inescapable, have also begun to fade, splintering into fragments scattered around your mind, coming into sharp focus when you least expect it, retreating when you try to grab at them.

What has not faded, however, are the emotions, all of them, from that day.

I fell asleep, like I normally did during my grad student days at USC, on the couch in Los Angeles. My clock radio came on, like it normally did, in the early morning. I was planning to doze in and out while listening to my radio, like I normally did, but something was different. From my half-awake state I could make out the sounds of sirens and chaos and a breathless reporter talking about something. For a split second I thought that this was a cruel update of that legendary Orson Welles “The War of the Worlds” radio broadcast, that’s how bewildering it all seemed at the time. Grudgingly, I managed to get off the couch and switch the TV on.

I was awake now.

It was impossible to comprehend what was being shown to me. It just did not seem possible that what was happening was happening. I just sat there, letting it all wash over me, too overwhelmed to react in any way.

Then it dawned on me that my father was supposed to fly into New York and head straight into work at the UN building that morning.

At this point it was still difficult to know exactly what was going on. We knew that the Towers had been attacked and there were other hijacked planes in the air. We had no idea if it the entire country was under attack. Nothing was certain, nothing made sense.

I tried calling my sister in Bayside, Queens. I couldn't get through. I tried calling my father's cellphone. I couldn't get through. I tried calling my mother's cellphone. I couldn't get through. I called my grandmother in Calcutta. I couldn’t get through. I called my other grandmother in Calcutta. I couldn’t get through. I called my aunt in Liverpool. This time I got through.

My aunt knew that my mother was on a plane flying from Delhi to Calcutta. She did not know much beyond that. She said she would call my grandmother in Calcutta.

I called my ex-girlfriend (who would soon after go back to being my girlfriend, my fiancee, and then my wife) at her place in downtown Los Angeles. I told her what was happening. I was happy she was safe, but those buildings downtown could be a target. Perhaps she would consider joining me?

At this point in time the only thing I knew was that my sister was somewhere in New York, my mother was somewhere between Delhi and Calcutta, and my father was...somewhere.

The doorbell rang. My heart leapt. It was my future wife. I didn't want to be alone. I felt better now that she was there.

Another phone call. This time it was my aunt. She had spoken to my grandmother. My mother was indeed on her way to Calcutta, but since she was on a plane, no one could get a hold of her. Apparently, she had seen my father off earlier. He was, apparently, en route to New York. Except we had no idea if he had landed, if he was in the UN building, or if he was in Europe still waiting for his connecting flight.

My friend Shubho called from Orange County. His father had been visiting the UN when it happened. Everyone within the UN had been safely evacuated, so if my father had indeed been there he would be safe.

I tried my sister again. Miraculously, even though we had been told that the phone lines were jammed, I got through! She was in Bayside. She wanted to go check on her friends in Manhattan. No! Before I could help it I was yelling at her, telling her that everything was falling to pieces, nothing was working, that the safest place for her to be was at home. There was a silence on the other end and I felt terrible. She was out there all by herself, no family, no friends, and no idea if she would have them again. For once, I tried not be an overbearing older brother and instruct her on what to do. This time, I tried to comfort her and reason with her. She should stay where she was and once we knew that everything was safe, she could then go out and try to see how her friends were doing. I would let her know as soon as we heard from our parents. It's funny, she said, the last time we were all together we went to have drinks at Windows on the World.

My friend Toad called me from Greenwich Village, Manhattan. He had walked back to his dorm room after classes had been cancelled at NYU. He was there with our friend Sud, who had been evacuated from 7 World Trade Center. I was stunned, Sud had been there, right in the middle of it all, and he had found his way back to a friend. The phone lines were unreliable and Toad had more calls to make, but he assured me that while they were both not terribly sound, they were, nonetheless, safe.

My future wife's sister called her from Northern Virginia. She had been at the Pentagon when it happened, but had managed to get to safety. She was shaken up but all right. She had been one of the lucky ones.

Slowly, through the mist of all this uncertainty and fear, connections were starting to be re-established. Some of our loved ones were safe, the uncertainty and fear were beginning, ever so slightly, to recede.

I called my aunt to tell her my sister was safe. The message was relayed to my grandmother.

A short while later my aunt called me to tell me that my mother had called her from my grandmother's in Calcutta. She had reached safely. She was happy to hear that my sister was safe. She had checked and my father had indeed made his connection in Europe. I told her that if he had landed and made his way to UN he would have been safe.

So we sat there, my future wife and I. Trying, if not to make sense of what was happening, but at the very least be of some small comfort to each other.

My mother kept calling my aunt who, in turn, kept calling me, but there weren't any more updates. I couldn't get through to the airlines, I couldn't get through to the UN, I couldn't even get through to my sister any more.

The uncertainty and fear were beginning to come back.

And then, just like that, the phone rang.

It was my father.

He was speaking softly. He was all right. He had borrowed a fellow passenger's cellphone and didn't have much time because everyone was trying to contact their families. He was still on the plane. They had landed in a place called Gander, which was in a place called Newfoundland, which was, as it turned out, in Canada. He didn't have much information beyond that. Most importantly, he was safe.

Those were the happiest phone calls I have ever had to make. My aunt was thrilled to hear the news. She called me back to tell me that my mother, my grandmother, my other grandmother were all just as thrilled. It took me multiple tries, but I managed to get through to my sister, who was also thrilled. As it turns out, my sister is also a strong, independent-minded woman, and once she had gotten her bearings she would make it out to Union Square via Flushing, Astoria, the bus, the 7-train, the subway, the streets, and find a temporary solace in the company of her friends and the larger grieving Lower Manhattan community that would gather there to take that first tentative step towards healing.

Everyone was still in shock, but for our family, selfishly, we were beginning to deal with what happened. The uncertainty and the fear did give way to melancholy and an awful sadness. But for us there was also gratitude. We were the lucky ones.

The phone became central to our lives for next few days. My father called us from Appleton, which was a few miles away from Gander. The passengers from about 45 diverted flights were being housed at a school gymnasium after having been kept on the landed planes at an abandoned military airfield for the first 24 hours. They were also being fed, clothed, bathed, serenaded, and taken care of by complete strangers. These strangers, the people of Appleton/Gander, did everything they could to buoy the spirits of these passengers, so they did not feel as alone. If the passengers needed anything, anything at all, they would give them the shirts off their back, literally (in my father's case it was socks, shorts, a couple of polo shirts, a moose-sighting trip, even a commemorative souvenir from the local golf course).

The airlines were, on the other hand, no help at all. But, as it often happens when you put groups of people together in difficult circumstances, they banded together to find solutions. Some of them managed to fly across to Detroit, hop into a rented car, and then drive through straight to New York. My mother (nervously, she would later admit), would fly back from visiting my grandmother once they started allowing international flights. I would fly back during Thanksgiving (sitting next to some nuns who were going to minister to the First Responders; I still have the rosaries they gave me, right there on my desk, I see them everyday). I would see my father and my mother and my sister and my future wife and her sister (and even Toad and Sud). We were together again.

Later that year, when we were all slowly getting back on our feet, with slowly being the operative word, I found a postcard that had been buried under a mountain of to-do items. It was from my father. He had sent it during his time at Appleton/Gander. It said he was having a wonderful time there (even during the worst of times he always managed to sound unfailingly reassuring), he was trying to figure out what to do next, but it was incredible how warm and welcoming the locals were, and how it continued to amaze him that it was in the worst of times that the best of humanity revealed itself. He was deeply touched by this kindness of people he had never met before and would probably never see again, and he would not forget it for as long as he lived.

I was stunned. My father was, like most fathers, a fairly stolid, unsentimental, solid oak tree of a man. For him to be so open about his feelings, to his son, was unexpected (he has softened considerably since then; time affects us all). A lot had happened on that day, and we were all still trying to work through what it meant, what it would mean, I guess we were still trying to work through everything. I realized that perhaps more than anything, I was grateful. I was grateful for being able to connect with my little family across 5 cities, 4 countries, 3 continents when it seemed like all connections were being torn apart. I was grateful that I was able to re-connect with the woman who would go on to become my wife and become part of my family and I of hers. I was grateful for being able to connect with my friends. But most of all, I was grateful for that community half a world away, that community that came together to take care of perfect strangers and become a family that provided shelter for my father.

We were the lucky ones.
