Devastating Win For the Steelers
Terrible win for #Steelers. The future hangs by a...left knee (cheap shot #Rams). Let's hope #BigBen's back soon. Thank G*d for #LeVeon!

Everest
#Everest: Kormakur tries admirably but can't match Into Thin Air & the 1998 IMAX classic. Clarke owns this (literally) white-knuckle ride.
RIP Yogi Berra
RIP Yogi Berra. Even before I had ever heard of baseball, I'd had heard of Yogi, half a world away.

RIP Jagmohan Dalmiya
RIP Jagmohan Dalmiya. In Sharda Ugra's (excellent) words: Cricket's Canny Iconoclast. With Sourav Ganguly helped spearhead India's dominance

99 Homes
#99Homes: Leave it to great director Bahrani to make a compelling humanist thriller about real estate! Zod owns it but Spidey makes the film

Celeb Sighting: Jason Bentley
3rd-Greatest Celeb Sighting, Ever!: #JasonBentley going to the (very fancy) gym, looking bad-a** (as usual).
Sicario
#Sicario: Very entertaining despite dodgy script/self-serious direction. Deakins is great (as always). Blunt's fantastic but Del Toro - wow!

Brand A Second Coming
#Brand A Second Coming: Part-Hagiography/Part-Takedown, all entertaining. Tremendous work by Timoner; made me reconsider Russell completely

Peace Officer
Peace Officer: Not the expected polemic on police brutality, but an even-handed, sobering, excellent look at a complex issue. A must-watch!
Mirza and Paes Win US Open Doubles Titles with Hingis
At least #Sania #Mirza & #Leander #Paes won #USOpen (doubles) titles thanks to #Hingis (again). Time to make her an honorary citizen? ;-)

Federer Loses US Open to Djokovic
This breaks my heart, at my age perhaps literally. #Federer tried his best, but #Djoker is too tough (again). #GOAT for how long? #USOpen

Steelers Lose to Patriots
I blame (the usual) #Foxboro shenanigans & #JudgeBerman for #Steelers preordained loss to #Patriots. TBH assures me season's not over yet ;)
Federer Sets Up Wawrinka Semi US Open 2015
#Federer in full-flight is awesome! He'll need every ounce of #GOAT-magic vs #Stanimal who's no longer content to be in his shadow! #USOpen

Pawn Sacrifice
Pawn Sacrifice: Good Zwick, ie. well-crafted (if surface-thin) entertainment. Maguire does well; Sarsgaard, Schreiber & Stuhlbarg are great.

Smooth #Federer sailing with a #GOAT-like 2nd round win. It gets harder. Tough luck for #MardyFish & #Hewitt who went down fighting. #USOpen

RIP Dean Jones. It seemed like every other movie I watched as a kid starred him. A lot of happy memories. Sigh...
Greinke Deserves MVP
He's already wrapped up #CyYoung, but a tough-as-nails 2-1 win against #Bumgarner means #Greinke deserves #MVP (consideration), no? #Dodgers

Federer Wins Round 1 US Open 2015
If #Wimbledon was The Last Stand, #USOpen is The Twilight of the (#Tennis) God. #Federer off to a flying start, hope the #GOAT keeps it up!
