RIP #TomAlter. One of #Bollywood's great character actors. Used to come by school to act/encourage us. Very inspirational. Super nice guy.

Heart-Breaking Loss for USC and Sam Darnold’s Heisman Hopes

Oh man, that was a tough bl**dy loss for the #Trojans. Poor #SamDarnold, there really was too much pressure on the kid all along. #USC #WSU

RIP Hugh Hefner

RIP #HughHefner. I'll leave it to others to unpack his complicated legacy. As a boy he seemed epitome of cool & then, inevitably you grow up

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

#KingsmanTheGoldenCircle: Good fun. Firth & Moore together again (#ASingleMan - *such* a great movie!), only this time blowing up [bleep]!

Shubho Maha Ashtami!

Shubho Maha Ashtami to all my #bengali & non-bengali friends alike! I can only imagine the festivities taking place back home… 😋

Bleachers (The Fonda Theatre)

#Bleachers (@FondaTheatre): Like nonstop hits from the greatest 80s party band you never knew existed! Most fun I've had in a long time!👏👍😁

Tangerine (The Fonda Theatre)

#Tangerine (@FondaTheatre): Groovy basslines, bangin' floor toms, reverb-y jangly guitars, catchy hook-filled melodies. What's not to like?😄

The World Had All the Fun at the Laver Cup

It was amaze-balls! 🎾 Europe may have won, but World had *all* the fun. PS. Where will post-#Brexit #AndyMurray be slotted?! 😁 #LaverCup

Laver Cup Was Fantastic (But Could Use Some Tweaks)

It was great! I'd follow #RyderCup model & ensure everyone plays at least once (#Shapo! #Tiafoe!) & last day should be a mad rush of singles

Victoria & Abdul

#VictoriaAndAbdul: I'm such a sucker for these Dench-led charming British period dramedies that subtly subvert (or reinforce?!😳) Colonialism

RIP Charles Bradley

RIP #CharlesBradley. So sad. Got to see him live incredible! Talked with him couldnt have been lovelier What a life! http://ow.ly/HLKb30fpGLt

Battle of the Sexes

#BattleOfTheSexes: Well-made, entertaining movie that only hints at the *vast* legacy of #BillieJeanKing. Stone, Carell, Silverman all good.

India Beat Australia 2017 ODI 2

Poor #Canelo, came out firing, got gassed, & #GGG took him apart. Close fight but #Golovkin won. 118-110?! That's what makes #boxing a joke!

Canelo-Golovkin Match Completely Overshadowed

What happened tothe #Mayweather-#McGregor #ESPN #boxing "experts?!" #Canelo-#GGG gets nary a mention on @PTI, @AroundtheHorn or @HQonESPN?!

RIP Harry Dean Stanton

RIP #HarryDeanStanton. No one in American movies had a face, & a screen presence, quite like he did. Hollywood's a lot less interesting now.

Brad’s Status

#BradsStatus: Wow! Bow down to the indie film G*d that is Mike White! Hits so close to home that it hits bone. Kids Abrams & Raja steal it.👏

RIP Frank Vincent

RIP #FrankVincent. He was so good in the Sopranos... and Goodfellas... and Raging Bull... and Casino... and Do the Right Thing and...!

It

#It: Good old-fashioned #StandByMe-Meets-#TheGoonies fun masquerading as a "horror" movie. Muschietti knows how to make a crowdpleasing hit!

Not sure if #Kvitova will win the #USOpen, but given everything that's happened to her, the win over #Muguruza has to be one of her biggest!

RIP Walter Becker

RIP #WalterBecker. Found out about him thanks to TBH (she absolutely *love*s/ed #SteelyDan). Expertly subverted pop music & rockstar-dom.

Federer (Finally Gets a Straight Set Win at the 2017 US Open

Ya know, there's way too much pressure being put on poor #SamDarnold's young shoulders. Let's calm down and let #USC's season unfold. #WMU?!
