Russell Westbrook Wins NBA MVP!

Whew! #NBA #MVP voters get it right with #Russ #Westbrook! While he was disappointingly gracious, let's hope he's not so nice on the court 😂

CARNE y ARENA (Virtually present, Physically invisible)

#CARNEyARENA (@LACMA): Wowza!!! Completely immersive/*intensely* emotional bold step forward for cinema. #Inarritu, #Chivo - mad respect!

Federer Hammers Young Sascha to Win 9th(!) Halle Title

Yo! #Federer in full-#GOAT-flight is still too much! Poor (Sascha) #Zverev gets hammered in #Halle. "Not sure I'll win this again"...wha?!😭

23 June 2017

Federer Into Halle Semi Finals

Nice. #Federer slowly rounding into #GOAT form makes it into #Halle final four (& #Wimbledon #Big4 reunion :-). Up next: #Khachanov (6'6"!).

The Beguiled

#TheBeguiled: Oh Sofia, you've done it again! Kidman, Farrell, Dunst, the kids, the DP, sound designer, everyone - take a meta-Gothic bow!

20 June 2017

Federer Wins First Grass Match of 2017

Phew! #Federer gets the #GOAT-campaign back on track with cracking #Halle win. After the 1R massacre at #Queens this was a relief. #ATP

18 June 2017

Brooks Koepka Wins 2017 US Open

Too bad for #Fowler & #Harman. Whiny golfers, unless you're #Tiger #Woods you shouldn't be winning #USOpen with -16. #Koepka, 379yd drive?!

India Flame Out Against Pakistan in Champions Trophy Finals

Its not #Sharjah86 but for heavily-favoured #IND to lose against their biggest rival in a final 😔 Good tournament overall tho #INDvPAK #CT17

17 June 2017

RIP John G. Avildsen

RIP #JohnGAvildsen. Directed two of my *favourite* movies (Rocky & The Karate Kid). Hopefully the others will be rediscovered like Joe(!).

Rough Night

Russell Westbrook is Coming For You, NBA...

The 2017-18 #NBA season is gonna be a corker. How do I know? Because, somewhere in the #OKC summer, #Russ #Westbrook's watching...& waiting.

Cavaliers Need to Figure Their Coaching Out

Hope springs eternal that #TyLue'll move beyond #LeBron standing in the corner while (over)dribblin' #Kyrie (& #JR/#Tristan) bail 'em out.

Warriors (True) Unsung Heroes

I know that #StephCurry & #Durant are the headliners, but #Warriors are nothing without #SteveKerr, #Iguodala & esp #KlayThompson #NBAFinals

Kevin Durant MVP / Steph Curry Obnoxious

Incredible how #KevinDurant got his swagger back (w/ 5-All Star +73-win team). #Steph has gone from skirting to crossing over obnoxious line

Kevin Durant Outduels LeBron James to Win Title

It breaks my bl**dy heart to say this #LeBron, but it's #KD's world now...You & me, we just live in it. #Cavaliers #Warriors #NBAFinals

11 June 2017

French Open 2017 Doubles Winners

PS. Congrats to #Bopanna, #MattekSands, & #RyanHarrison(!) on their doubles titles. #Stanimal not-so animalistic today, huh? #FrenchOpen

Nadal Wins His 10th(!!) French Open

So, Easiest Slam, Ever!? #Rafa #Nadal's dominance on clay has to be one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports. #FrenchOpen

India Beats South Africa Easily

Wait, #IND won thanks to their fielding (6 run-outs?!) & bowling (191?!). Now I've seen everything! #Shikhar's comeback has been 👌. #INDvSA

10 June 2017

RIP Adam West

RIP #AdamWest. Our first & favourite #Batman. Wish he had more chances to showcase his underrated acting ability as evidenced by #TheNewAge.

The Hero

#TheHero: Ah, Elliott, getting the late-career award-bait showcase he so *richly* deserves! Offerman, DP Givens & Dewitt music - well done.

Ostapenko is the Feel-Good Tennis Story of the Year

Respect to #Federer (#GOAT?) but a 20-year-old winning her first title at a major is the feel-good tennis story of the year. #Ostapenko!

Ostapenko Shocking French Open Win

Un-bl**dy-believable! *20* year-old #Ostapenko *blasts* her way to her first tournament win - a Slam! #Halep was shellshocked. #FrenchOpen

09 June 2017

LeBron (Finally) Exacts Payback From the Warriors

#LeBron in raging-against-the-dying-light form is great. Good to see #Kyrie/#KLove not get blamed for once. #Cavs live to fight 1 more day 👏

Great Indie Movies Opening This Weekend

Yo NY/LA great indie movies to check out in case #TheMummy is sold out: #BeatrizAtDinner, #MyCousinRachel, #ItComesAtNight & #TheHero! Enjoy

RIP Glenne Headly

RIP #GlenneHeadly. Discovered her thanks to that amazing 1-2 punch of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels & Dick Tracy. One of my favourite actors.

Beatriz at Dinner

#BeatrizAtDinner: White & Arteta reunited, and it feels so good. One of the best movies of 2017! Cast, esp Hayek & Lithgow, is sensational.

08 June 2017

French Open 2017 Women's Finals Set

Great win for 20yo(!) #Ostapenko (young ∴ fearless) #Pliskova succumbs to #Halep's counterpunching (grunts harder than she hits) #FrenchOpen

India (Somehow) Loses to Sri Lanka

I guess you should never underestimate #SL. Chased down imposing #IND target with resilience. Free-flowing #Shikhar is awesome #INDvSL #CT17

07 June 2017

Unsung Heroes Tilted Game 3

Was that the tipping point in #LeBron-vs-#KD debate? #Steph got rebounds(?!). #Kyrie was spectacular/bad. #KLove tried. #Klay won the game.

Cavaliers Lose a Heartbreaking Game 3

Thats my heart breaking into a million little pieces! #LeBron, I love ya man, but you cant just stand there & watch #Kyrie play 1-on-5 #Cavs

Kershaw Tough Win Against Strasburg

Look, I'm not saying #Dodgers are a one-man team, but of course it's #Clayton #Kershaw who helps break a losing streak. #Strasburg ≠ Orchid?

Djokovic Baffling Fall From Grace / Great Upcoming Semis

Can't wait for #AndyMurray-#Wawrinka/#Pliskova-#Halep! PS Poor #Djoker, baffling fall from one of the most dominant phases in sports history

Rafael Nadal Has Pretty Much Already Won the French Open

Can we just end the farce that is #RolandGarros & hand the trophy to #Rafa #Nadal already?! He's essentially walking-over to the title! #ATP

06 June 2017

Steffi Graf-Martina Navratilova Underrated Rivalry

Great stuff from @SteveTignor: #SteffiGraf's vicious rivalry with #Navratilova. One of the most underrated in sports http://ow.ly/zqio30cnjBk

Celeb Sighting: Josh Brener (Big Head!)

(3rd)-Greatest Celebrity Sighting, Ever!: #JoshBrener...running down Sunset (chasing an IPO?). I resisted the urge to yell #BigHead at him.

RIP Peter Sallis

RIP #PeterSallis. Provided so many years of lovely entertainment with Last of the Summer Wine & of course #WallaceAndGromit. He'll be missed

04 June 2017

LeBron Made Things Interesting...Then Warriors Warrior-ed in Game 2

For a sec #LeBron had a shot...then #Steph/#Warriors cut out #Cavaliers beating heart. #KD sure found his swagger w/ 73-win+5 All-Star team

Venus Williams and John Isner Lose French Open 2017

Tough outs for #Venus & #Isner (vs future #Khachanov). Nervy win for #Djokovic (#DjAgassi?) #FrenchOpen is #Nadal's world we just live in it

India Thrashes Pakistan Champions Trophy 2017

Great thumping win for #IND over biggest rival. Fantastic bounce-backs from #Shikhar & esp #Yuvraj (still going strong!). #INDvPAK #CT17

03 June 2017

Zidane Wins Champions League 2017

Yes! #Zinedine #Zidane, er, #RealMadrid win #CL17! PS. That #Mandzukic goal! 👏 PPS. Poor #Buffon...& #Messi -  #Ronaldo gets #BallonDOr.

02 June 2017

French Open 2017 Motoring On

Really bad luck for #Goffin poor chap. #Venus moves on easily. #Rafa in #Warriors-destroyer mode. #Djokovic+#Agassi=#DjAgassi! 😂 #FrenchOpen

Steve Johnson and David Ferrer Lose French Open 2017

Tough break for #SteveJohnson, couldn't rally past #Thiem after emotional last win. #Ferrer fighting to the bitter end (#Feliciano!). #RG17

Before the Flood

#BeforeTheFlood: Hey, if you had Leo as your guide to the end of the world as we know it, you'd feel fine too. Stunning /frightening images.

01 June 2017

Cavaliers Get Hammered by Warriors in Game 1

Um, it'd be easy to give up hope after a 22-pt rout, but #LeBron brought #Cavaliers all the way back last year, so...PS. #Durant, yikes!👀

Cavaliers Are Hanging On...in the First Half of Game 1

Little too much hotdogging by #LeBron, few too many crisp passes by #Warrriors. But being down "only" 8 means #Cavaliers are hangin' tuff! 😳

Archduke

#Archduke (@CTGLA): Somehow Joseph turns WWI inciting incident into black comedy-farce. Funny & disturbing. Jaw-dropping sets by Mackabee!
