Spooky things happen on #Halloween! #Mets-iest way for them to lose. Poor #Murphy - from hero to goat in the blink of an eye! #Royals #WS15
The often humorous adventures of a roguish anti-hero of low social degree living by his wits in a corrupt society

Federer Beats Jack Sock at Basel 2015
Good News: #Federer gets a vintage-#GOAT win over Great American Hope #JackSock Bad News: He Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken lurks in shadows!
American Pharoah Wins Breeders Cup Classic 2015
We never got the #SerenaSlam but we now have a #GrandSlam! #AmericanPharoah wins #BreedersCupClassic! Goes out a #Champ! #BC15 #BreedersCup
New Zealand Wins Rugby World Cup 2015
Congrats to #NZL for well-deserved #RWC win! Always good to see #AUS lose ;-) Hopefully this is a good sign for the cricket series #RWC2015
Liverpool Thrashes Chelsea
So, #Klopp in and #Mourinho? May not solve all of #Liverpool's problems but it was nice to see them on the other side of a thrashing! #LFC

Federer Beats Goffin Basel 2015
Yikes! Another tough 3-setter for #Federer (this time vs plucky #Goffin). Worrying #GOAT-sunset trend or just a blip? It only gets harder...
Grantland Shut Down by ESPN
RIP #Grantland. Not quite as great as @BillSimmons would have you believe but better than 99.9% of what's out there. Sigh... @Grantland33

Trumbo
#Trumbo: Straightforward but very entertaining. Heisenberg anchors an absurdly stuffed cast highlighted by Lane, CK, Goodman & Stuhlbarg.
Federer Beats Kohlschreiber at Basel 2015
Not quite as #GOAT-vintage this time around but another #Federer win against always-tough #Kohlschreiber. #Goffin next. H*ll on my nerves!

Our Brand Is Crisis
Our Brand Is Crisis: Inconsistent but loadsa fun when it works. Sandy's great in a role tailor-made for her ;-) Mackie & De Almeida kill it.
Federer Basel First Round Win
Sure it's #GOAT's hometown & it's 1R, but any vintage-#Federer win at this point is reason to celebrate. How about that #AI practice joke!

Cavaliers Lose to the Bulls
Was that a potentially season-destroying loss for the #Cavaliers against the #Bulls, or just the 1st game in a looong season? C'mon #LeBron!
India Thrashed by S. Africa in Series Decider
Woah! #IND's ODI team is in flux but I don't think anyone saw that demolition coming, esp at the hands of close-but-no-cigar #RSA! #INDvSA

RIP Maureen O'Hara
RIP Maureen O'Hara. One of the last few from Hollywood's Golden Age...and who held their own against John Wayne. Great screen presence.
Steelers Lose to Chiefs
Playing on the road against #Chiefs may have been the one bridge too far for #LandryJones & #Steelers. Still They've done well for #BigBen.

USC Upsets Utah
Sure, this was one from the too-little-too-late department, but it's still pretty satisfying. #USC crushes #Utah! #Kessler not washed up yet
23 October 2015
Suffragette
#Suffragette: Stodgy but ultimately stirring. Great work by DP Grau. Carey's actually good as is the always great Bonham, but Duff steals it
Celeb Sighting: Alan Arkin
2nd-Greatest Celebrity Sighting, Ever!: Alan Arkin. I resisted the urge to ask him if he was Kevin Pollak ;-)
21 October 2015
Brooklyn
#Brooklyn: Better than the exceedingly genteel book thanks to the elegant Hornby script. Ronan is terrific. My allergies acted up at the end
20 October 2015
Virender Sehwag Retires
You Know You're Too Old When: #Virender #Sehwag retires. One of the most exciting cricketers we'll ever see. Man, I'll miss him! #Viru!
19 October 2015
Barry Zito Retires
Sign You're Too Old When: Barry #Zito Retires. Great pitcher in his prime. Most Interesting Man in Baseball for the rest of it!

Black Lips (Pappy & Harriet's)
#BlackLips (@pappy_harriets): Best Crazy Punk-Garage Suzz-Rock Band, Ever! Awesome as always! And the absolutely perfect place to see them!
16 October 2015
Marshland
#Marshland: Wonderfully moody Spanish True-Detective-esque thriller. Weak plot redeemed by lovely cinematography & acting, esp Gutierrez.
15 October 2015
Dodgers Heartbreaking NLDS Series Loss
Where did you go #Zack #Greinke? #Dodger nation turned its lonely eyes to you. Lovable Loser CS (#NLCS) will be insufferable #Mets?! #Cubs?!
13 October 2015
Federer Shocking First-Round Loss to Qualifier
And so, the end begins, albeit with a bang. #Federer crashes out to qualifier #RamosVinolas. The Sun is beginning to set on the #GOAT. #Sigh
12 October 2015
Miraculous Win For Steelers!
Un-bl**dy-believable! #Steelers beat #Chargers! Thank G*d for #LeVeon/gutsy #Tomlin call! And they may have found a kicker - #Boswell! #MNF
The Walk
#TheWalk: Sure, it's on the nose but it's also one of the most thrilling/terrifying (I'm afraid of heights!) cinematic experiences I've had!

Black Mass
#BlackMass: Good try by Cooper to make an understated gangster film. Murderers' Row of a cast feasts on plummy accents led by comeback Depp.

Victoria
#Victoria: Best-Russian-Ark-Meets-Run-Lola-Run Heist Film Ever! Clever Hollywood calling card for director Schipper. Costa holds it together
05 October 2015
The Martian
#TheMartian: Best MacGyver-Meets-Cast-Away-Meets-Lost-In-Space Movie, Ever! Ridley in top form as is All-Star cast led by Bourne & Northup.

Brendan Rodgers Fired By Liverpool
So #Brendan #Rodgers has been (finally) fired by #LFC. Poor chap was snake-bitten from the start. It's going to be a tough turnaround.

Next Goal Wins
Next Goal Wins (@SunscreenFF): The very definition of crowd-pleasing! You'll laugh/cry/cheer (but check your cynicism at the door). Awesome!

Steelers Devastating Loss to Ravens
In the annals of #Steelers heartbreaking losses/choke-jobs this has to count near the top! Changes the entire season. #Scobee/#Tomlin c'mon!
