Lance Berkman Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: Lance Berkman Retires. Great career, but more importantly, I always thought #TheBigPuma/#FatElvis was funny.

Labor Day

Labor Day: Even the great Kate Winslet can't save this melodramatic claptrap. Destined for cult classic status after endless Lifetime reruns

Durant Beats LeBron

Great, just bl**dy great. #Durant outduels #Heat, wraps up MVP, and causes heartache and pain for this lone #LeBron fan in LA. Sigh...

The Hunt

The Hunt: Glad to see Vinterberg leave the Dogma95 affectations behind. Great perfs by Mikkelsen & the very young Wedderkopp. Good movie.

New Zealand Upsets India in ODI Series

Looks like #NewZealand didn't get @BCCI/@ICC memo they're being legislated into oblivion. Big upset over #India to win ODI series. #NZvInd

Seth Davis Retweet

@PratikBasu thanks for coming by!

Seth Davis Book Reading

Great job by @SethDavisHoops at his book reading. They changed title from The Teacher to #Wooden because of search engine optimization! Ha!

RIP Pete Seeger

RIP Pete Seeger. Fought the good fight for a long, long time. A true icon, American or otherwise. http://t.co/6AOSPbrAN0

Li Na Wins Australian Open 2014

Congrats to #LiNa for winning #AusOpen despite past failures. Bad luck for #Cibulkova, powerful pocket-rocket, inspiration for us shorties!

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: The perfect wish-fulfillment fantasy for wish-fulfillment fantasy nerds like me! For normal people it's bad

RIP Suchitra Sen

Sign You Have To Hand In Your #Bengali Card: You Find Out The Great Suchitra Sen Died By Reading @EW. Sad, so very, very sad...

Federer Beats Murray!

Vintage #Federer is back...well at least for another night against whiner #Murray! Now, if only #BabyFed had come through... ;-) #AusOpen

Federer Thrashes Tsonga!

Still luxuriating in that vintage #Federer beat-down of #Tsonga! Not sure what's gonna happen next but I'll enjoy this while I can! #AusOpen

Seahwaks Beat the 49ers!

Thank G*d! #PeteCarroll & #Seahawks beat the insufferable #49ers! Two teams I love in #SuperBowl! Now if only #Federer can beat #Tsonga! :-)

Peyton Manning Beats Tom Brady!

Oma-bloody-ha! #Peyton overcomes his detractors (& #Brady) to drive the #Broncos to the #SuperBowl! Let's hope #Federer is inspired! #Omaha

Serena Upset By Ivanovic at Australian Open 2014

Woah! Huge upset at #AusOpen! #Serena ousted by flashy-but-inconsistent #Ivanovic. Let's hope she can keep it going!

47 Ronin

47 Ronin: Not nearly as bad as all the pre-release hype would have you believe. In fact, it's not bad at all. Sanada & Kikuchi are awesome.

True Detective

#TrueDetective: Uneven but compelling start. Loved Harrelson & McConaughey (what a streak!). Slightly over-directed by the young Fukunaga.

Lone Survivor

Lone Survivor: Incredible cast esp Foster. Expertly crafted by Berg (gun battle...whew!). Film comes agonizingly close to being truly great.

Grantland Article on Max Casella

Thank you @Grantland33 for showcasing the great #MaxCasella Vinnie Delpino lives! (& kills it in Inside Llewyn Davis) http://t.co/s1r5Ncg95f

Greg Maddux Gets Into the Hall of Fame

You Know You're Too Old When: #Maddux (yay!), #Thomas & #Glavine get into the #MLB #HOF. Sad for the snubs esp. #Raines & #EdgarMartinez :-(

Intelligence

#Intelligence: Woohoo! Sawyer, I mean Holloway, is back...too bad he didn't bring the #Lost writers with him. Still, it's good harmless fun!

Malcom Gladwell Article on Marvin Miller

Revisiting the great @Gladwell piece on #MarvinMiller. Deserves to be in the #MLB #HOF. http://t.co/RPfAu7hFj6

Dallas Buyers Club

Dallas Buyers Club: Nicely put together by director Vallee. Strong performances overcome a meandering script, esp from Leto & McConaughey.

Mitchell Johnson's Ashes

Met @MitchJohnson398 once, disappointingly polite despite me goading him ;-) This #Ashes whitewash will go down as #MitchellsAshes! #AusvEng

RIP Eusebio

RIP #Eusebio. Great Portuguese footballer from the golden age.

The Invisible Woman

The Invisible Woman: Not bad. Our Ralph Fiennes is a superb actor and if he keeps at it he'll turn into a pretty good director someday.

RIP Phil Everly

RIP Phil Everly. Loved listening to The Everly Brothers growing up. http://t.co/i3ztFVs5lo

Blue Is the Warmest Color

Blue Is the Warmest Color: Starts promisingly but sadly devolves betraying an extraordinary performance by Exarchopoulos She deserves better

Oklahoma Beats Alabama in Sugar Bowl

C'mon you have to agree the world is a better place now that #NickSatan has been vanquished, even at the hands of whiner #Stoops! #SugarBowl

Happy New Year 2014

Happy New Year World! Let's hope 2014 is better than 2013! Cheers! #NYE #2014
