Steelers Beat the Browns to Send Them to 0-16

Good win for the #Steelers but ya gotta feel bad for the #Browns, right?  #JuJu - man he took the league by the storm this year didn't he?! Maybe a post-#BigBen reunion with #SamDarnold is in the offing?! 🤔

RIP Sue Grafton

RIP #SueGrafton. Didn't read all her books but really liked the ones I did. Surprising that the series never became a long-running Hollywood franchise.

USC Gets Walloped by the Awful Urban Meyer

Poor #SamDarnold, he really doesn't want to get drafted by the #Browns. What's worse is that it gives the insufferable #UrbanMeyer gloating rights for the rest of the offseason. 😠 #OffTheBandwagon #USC #CottonBowl

In the Fade (Aus dem nichts)

#InTheFade: Very effective meditation on loss and grief from Akin elevated tenfold by the amazing, raw, eye-opening performance by Kruger. My goodness! One of the year's *very* best - hello Oscar! PS. That ending! 😳 Yikes!

James Harrison Joins the Patriots... Wait, Wha?!!!!!?!?!?!

Oh no, say it ain't so #JamesHarrison! Another bl**dy reason to hate the bl**dy #Cheatriots! I haven't seen TBH this livid...since the last #Steelers-#Patriots match. Sigh... @jharrison9292 #HereWeGo

Cavaliers Lose a Close Game Against the Warriors (Again...)

Sigh... another game against the #Warriors... another close #Cavs loss. One of these days #LeBron will get the benefit of the doubt from the refs. PS. #KevinLove triple-double, always a good thing.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays 2017

#MerryChristmas, er, I mean #HappyHolidays world! Please eggnog responsibly! 🎄☃️🏄‍♀️

Hostiles

#Hostiles: Worth it just for the great Bale, fabulous Takayanagi *wide*-screen vistas & lovely Richter alone. You have to admire boundless directorial ambition & yearning to make *The* Western for Our Time that gives us hard-to-market *big*-screen movies like this.

RIP Dick Enberg

RIP #DickEnberg. Actually discovered him because of tennis - he was as essential to me in young adulthood as #DanMaskell was in my long-faded youth. I had no idea that he covered, you know, *everything* & was on the SoCal Broadcasting Mt. Rushmore! #OhMy!

India Hammers Sri Lanka (Again…)

Ya gotta feel for poor #SRI. First they had to face the force of nature known as #Virat in the Tests, now they have to deal with #RohitSharma in the ODIs & T20s! The assault on the stats-book is relentless! #INDvSL

Downsizing

#Downsizing: A lovely little (ahem) film with surprisingly large (*ahem*) ambitions. Fantastic, funny, melancholy, thought-provoking, terrifying(!) ride from Payne. Kier+Waltz=Scene-Stealin' Heaven! 😁  Chau just comes along and completely steals the whole thing - wow! 👏

Wonder Wheel

#WonderWheel: Winslet gives the kind of tour-de-*force* perf (with not one, but *two*! show-stopping monologues) that would normally assure her a Blanchett-esque second Oscar... Storaro, whew, my goodness, give the man (& his DI colourist 😉 ) an Oscar now!

Cam Heyward Ridiculous Pro Bowl Snub

Happy for all the #Steelers making the #ProBowl, it's ridiculous that @CamHeyward didn't make it! Great player & on/off-field leader. PS. Even before I knew anything about American Football, I loved the #Ironhead commercials! (RIP…) 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pQm1_ff5Pb0

The Greatest Showman

#TheGreatestShowman: Good, harmless musical fun. G*d bless Jackman, from Logan to Barnum in 1 year?! He's great along with Ferguson & Settle (in a *star*-making perf). Man, it's Pasek & Paul's world, we just live in it!

Australia Regains the Ashes in Dominating Fashion

Dear #ENG, what hath thou wrought, inspiring #AUS to return to destroyer-of-worlds form?! #SteveSmith may be a jerk, but d*mn he's an insanely good batsman. #AUSvENG #TheAshes

Patriots Are Handed a Win by the League Office Over Steelers

G*dd*mn bl**dy shady #Patriots #Belicheat-ing their way to another rubbish win. C'mon #Steelers, double-team #Gronk! Still #JuJu, #LeVeon played their hearts out. Great to see #Shazier! #Shalieve #HereWeGo 

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

#StarWarsTheLastJedi: AKA Star Wars: The Next Generation. Well-bl**dy-done Rian! Man, the kid deserves his own trilogy based on that [spoiler!]* sequence climax alone! Kids are all great in this one (hello Tran!), but leave it to the OGs Fisher & esp Hamill to break your heart.

Happy Star Wars Day!

What day is it? Why #StarWars Day, of course! #TheLastJedi!

The Disaster Artist

#TheDisasterArtist: A charismatic eccentric autodidact who exists on his own planet puts together a vanity project to show the world what he's truly capable of...so the #JamesFranco Story?! 😂 Hi-bl**dy-larious stuff from the triple(/quadruple?) threat. Dave steals the movie(?!).

Steelers Massive AFC North-Clinching Win Over Ravens

No matter what happens to this season, #Steelers will remember this match. Beat the (not-quite-#Bungles-)awful #Ravens & win one for #Shazier! #ShaLieve! #HereWeGo ! PS. #Boswell for #MBP 😂! #WeRunTheNorth

Sufjan Stevens - “Tonya Harding”

PS. Woah! #SufjanStevens's  #TonyaHarding should be a movie unto itself! 👏 😭 I'm beginning to understand why TBH loves the guy! #Sufjan! ow.ly/qPOZ30h6LGL

I, Tonya

#ITonya: Very entertaining, (very, very) dark, energetic story of the laugh-so-you-won't-cry variety. Exceptional work by the ensemble, but gotta say Stan is a revelation & Janney...dude, like wow… hello #Oscar nom!

RIP Johnny Hallyday

RIP #JohnnyHallyday. Thought he was absolutely fantastic in #Vengeance and #TheManOnTheTrain. Had no idea that he was, you know, the #FrenchElvis! 😲

Sri Lanka Fight to a Draw in “Smog Test” but India Win (Another) Test Series

Kudos to #Virat on (yet another!) double-century (is he beginning to give #Tendulkar a run for his stat-money?!). Kudos to #SRI for fighting to a draw in what will forever be known as the #SmogTest! 😷 🏏 #INDvSL

Coco

#Coco: Young boy & his loveable mutt (sniff)…join a seemingly-doomed sidekick (sniff, sniff)…to look for his (great-great) grandfather (sniff, sniff, sniff)…while reconnecting with his large, boisterous, disapproving/loving family a whole world away (😭)! 1 of #Pixar's v best!

My Cousin Rachel

#MyCousinRachel: All bow down before the Indie Queen Weisz. She's been on a *spectacular* indie-run of late & the streak continues with this luridly entertaining, delicious period piece. Claflin & Grainger are very good, as are DP Eley & prod designer Normington.

Huge Steelers Comeback Win Over Bengals on MNF

Sure, another crazy #Steelers win thanks to the #KillerBs (#BigBen, #AB, #LeVeon...#Boswell) but all our thoughts are with #Shazier 🙏 PS. #Gruden & #SeanMcDonough sure turned into the #Bengals cheering section 🤔

RIP Shashi Kapoor

RIP #ShashiKapoor: The brightest of stars from the golden age of Indian cinema. My G*d, he was such an essential pillar of Hindi films for so long that it's hard to imagine movies without him. Mainstream/Art, Leading/Supporting, Hindi/English, Big/Low budgets, he did it *all*.😔

Miguel Cotto Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #MiguelCotto Retires. Not quite a household name (at least to this very casual fan), but a great boxer who gave the household names all they could handle. Those #Cotto-#Margarito matches - wow! 💪

USC Beats Stanford to Win Pac 12 Championship

Dear NFL, I'm tellin ya, #SamDarnold may not be the stat-machine pocket-passing #Heisman-winner you were promised, but he's a tough, gritty *winner*! #USC wins #Pac10! PS.  #RonaldJones & #Pittman 👏! #Trojans #Bandwagon

The Shape of Water

#TheShapeOfWater: Visually stunning atmospheric period piece, forbidden love, sympathetic father figure, Stuhlbarg, critically beloved International filmmaker...wait is that #CallMeByYourName or this film😂?! Well done Del Toro, cast of favourites, & esp the *great* Hawkins 👏 !

Terriers

#Terriers: The brilliant-but-cancelled "hype" is true! Fantastic, amiable, fun(ny), emotional, well-written shaggy-dog (😂) sunshine-noir "detective" series. Watch it before it gets "cancelled" (again), this time from @netflix!

Churchill

#Churchill: Poor #BrianCox. A(nother) superlative performance as a larger-than-life character, only to have another, better-known British actor come along in the same part and completely overshadow him while getting *all* the Oscar love. Sigh…

France Wins the Davis Cup (Finally)

Congrats to #FRA Golden Generation (#Tsonga, #Monfils, #Gasquet et al) on (*finally*) winning #DavisCup (of course, it took kid #Pouille to bail them out…😁). Kudos to young #Goffin on playing his poor heart out…played lights out to end the year! #FRAvBEL

R Ashwin 300 Test Wickets

Congrats to #Ashwin on fastest to 300 Test wickets (a few more tests against #SRI & 400 can't be too far behind!😁) Also, #Virat, #Shikhar...*every*one made huge scores. PPS #Pujara comes through...again #INDvSL

Steelers Escape Against an Under-Manned Packers

Thank G*d for (all) the #KillerBs: #AB(👀!), #LeVeon, #BigBen, #Martavis... & #Boswell! #CamHeyward - take a bow! #Steelers *escape* vs #Packers. Whew! #SNF #HereWeGo

Call Me by Your Name

#CallMeByYourName: Simply stunning! You just want to live in the great Guadagnino & DP Mukdeeprom's lush, beautiful, swoon-worthy cinematic universe. Hammer, Casar, Garrel are great, young Chalamet is a prodigy(!), but Stuhlbarg, man, that monologue... 😭! PS That last shot 👏

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

#RomanJIsraelEsq: #Denzel in *full* flight sure is wondrous! Very ably supported by Farrell, Ejogo & a host of others. Somewhere, the great #SidneyLumet is smiling.

Justice League

#JusticeLeague: Ya know, nowhere close to being the affront to humanity that the critics would have you believe. Quite fun in parts thanks to Miller, Momoa, & Gadot.

RIP Jana Novotna

RIP #JanaNovotna. Gone way too soon. Loved her attacking brand of tennis growing up. Gave us one of the most indelible sports images of all time, reminding us just how human our superstar athletes really are.

Yohen

#Yohen: Gentle, yet powerful look at interracial marriage. Lovely, nuanced perfs from Angela & Glover. Man, it sure is hard to outrun your cultural baggage, huh?

Mudbound

#Mudbound: Challenging but ultimately very poignant. Carefully constructed by director Rees. Blige - wait, she can *act* too?! Hedlund & Mitchell are sensational. PS The horror of *that* scene…

Federer (Shockingly) Upset by Goffin 2017 ATP Finals!😨😱😭😳

Just when the #GOAT dream season was building to a lovely end...sigh... Kudos to #Goffin for pulling off the rare #Federer-#Nadal Double. I'm gonna cry all through the 2018 season 😭 #ATPFinals #ThankYouRoger

Mike and Mike Final Show

You Know You're Too Old When: #MikeAndMike Retire (er, break up?). Started listening by accident 14(!) yrs ago when my vintage (er, old) car couldn't get any other radio station. #Greeny #Golic Sigh…

#MMSayThanks

Man, the Old #GOAT wants this bad huh?😀#Federer comes back to beat #Cilic in "meaningless" match. Now comes the hard part...😬#ATPFinals

Kershaw Loses NL Cy Young to Scherzer

Looks like @ThisShowStinks's campaigning worked. I mean, I like #Scherzer but no way he deserved #NL #CyYoung over #Kershaw, certainly not by 75 pts! #Dodgers

Federer Battles Past Young Zverev 2017 ATP Finals

(Another) tough, battlin', less-than-pretty win for the Old #GOAT. #Federer pushes hard by #Zverev, but methinks he wants this one bad. #ATPFinals

RIP Liz Smith

RIP #LizSmith. Always enjoyed watching her to do those little bits on E! News *back* in the day with the likes of Army Archerd, Michael Musto etc.

Cody Bellinger Unanimous Rookie of the Year

Congrats to *young* (only 21?!) #Cody #Bellinger winning #NL #ROY. Methinks a #GoldenGlove won't be far behind. PS. Hopefully this inspires him to keep working on that pesky inside-curveball (or was that a slider?) 😁 #Dodgers

CoCo Helps USA Win Fed Cup for the First Time in (17!) Years

It's #CoCo #Vandeweghe's (tennis) world, we just live in it! She (singlehandedly?) wins #FedCup for #USA. Credit to plucky underdogs #BLR who put up h*lluva fight.

The Florida Project

#TheFloridaProject: Simply wonderful, moving cinematic experience. Stunning work from director Baker, Dafoe, Vinaite & the kids, esp young Brooklynn. PS. That ending… 😭

Steelers Gut Out Comeback Win Over Colts

Whew...I never doubted the #Steelers 😁 Gutty come-from-behind win vs #Colts. Nice to see #JuJu & #Martavis make up. #HereWeGo

Federer Tough First Win Over Jack Sock 2017 ATP Finals

I'm liking this new-look tough #JackSock...but Old #GOAT took care of business on his "home" court. #Federer 1 step closer to 7th(!) #ATPFinals.

Murder on the Orient Express

#MurderOnTheOrientExpress: Absurdly sumptuous entertainment (70mm!👏). Branagh's a fun Poirot. *Great* cast, esp Depp & Pfeiffer(-aissance).

RIP John Hillerman

RIP #JohnHillerman. Massive part of my childhood, #MagnumPI was (/is) my favourite TV show & he was my favourite thing it it! I'd catch him in small roles in classic movies later & marvel at his accent, then I found out he was Texan and #Higgins was the accent all along. Sigh…😢

Legendary Journalist Warren Olney Retires From LA Radio Airwaves

You Know You're Too Old When: #WarrenOlney (is) Retire(d). True local treasure. Learned so much from him over so many years (incl there's a Madras in OR?!). Another major #KCRW loss.😭

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

#ThreeBillboards: Fantastic! More than just an Oscar-reel for the great McDormand. Expertly made by McDonagh. Rockwell, take a career bow, man!

RIP Roy Halladay

RIP #RoyHalladay. Great tough pitcher who battled for every last out. Had a #HOF career, but man was his whole life ahead of him. So very sad. #DocHalladay

India Beats New Zealand to Win Another Series

Ho-hum, another series, another #IND win😀... at least this was against (true plucky underdogs) #NZL & not a stat-padding win vs #SRI #INDvNZ

Sigh, sad end to *great* #Dodgers season. "Day players" came up big: #ChrisTaylor, #LoganForsythe, #AustinBarnes, #Culberson, #BrandonMorrow

Tough, deserved #WorldSeries for #Houston (#CharlieMorton?). #Astros, though, crossed the line from plucky underdogs to arrogant favourites.
