Lalo Schifrin - "Danube Incident"

TIL (isn't that what the kids say?) that @Portisheadinfo's incredible #SourTimes was based on a sample from #LaloSchifrin's #DanubeIncident.

Thanks, @Jason_Bentley & @mbeKCRW!

*Every*one has #MissionImpossible on their minds!

Early Man

#EarlyMan

Any @aardman film is a cause for celebration. #NickPark - in case this whole modern-stop-motion-master thing doesn't work out he has a future as a bookie...comes *this* close to predicting #WorldCup finals! Except, in his world, #ItsComingHome (couldn't resist 😇⚽️).

John Isner Wins 2018 Atlanta Open

Congrats to #JohnIsner on winning the #AtlantaOpen.

Don't look now but #Isner could be having the best Male American Tennis Season since #Roddick (the eternal answer to every "best Male American Tennis since..." trivia question 😇).

Max Richter - "SLEEP" (The Music Center)

#SLEEP (@musiccenterla)

Yo! Give young @maxrichtermusic & esp tireless @acmenewmusic credit, playing overnight, in the open, for 8hrs *straight* all so we could, ya know, 😴!

PS. As TBH pointed out, not 100yds from us are so many for whom a cot is an unthinkable luxury🤔

First Man IMAX Preview

One of the *many* pleasures of watching @MissionFilm on @IMAX (required viewing!), was seeing the incredible #IMAX sneak for #FirstMan!

Kid #DamienChazelle is shaping up to be an *all*-timer!

PS. Umm, they coulda saved *that* shot for the actual movie, no? Spoiler 🚨! 😂

Mission: Impossible — Fallout

#MissionImpossibleFallout

Best (Summer-Thinking-Middle-Aged-Man's-Jackie-Chan-Meets-Chuck-Jones-Action) Movie, Ever!

McQuarrie: from indie writer to best big-budget in-camera-action this side of Nolan!

DP, composer, prod design, #TomCruise...! 

PS Norway+New Zealand=Kashmir?! 😇

Mission: Impossible Day!

You Know You're #TooOld When: You Seamlessly Age Into The #MissionImpossible Demo! Can't wait!!!!

PS. Check out the awesome "MI" remix for @Imaginedragons's #Friction done by some enterprising kid:

The Equalizer 2

#TheEqualizer2

Lo and behold a most powerful (cinematic) force of nature (and I ain't talking about that awesome hurricane action setpiece at the end)! It's so much fun to watch #Denzel kick a** & take names. Loved the added wrinkle of the international "spy" intrigue. Plus, Sanders (the "middle" kid from #Moonlight) was fantastic!

PS. Bean is 90 years old?! Wow! Added a lot of poignancy in between the mayhem.

RIP Jonathan Gold

RIP #JonathanGold. Essential to the LA experience. Progenitor of the "foodie" explosion, but his brand was one of curiosity, warmth, bonhomie, teaching. 

Met him once before he had outed himself. I was nervous but he couldn't have been nicer. Gone so quickly & way too soon...

Francesco Molinari Wins 2018 British Open

Great win for #Molinari (65-bogey-free-69!)!

Bad luck for #Spieth (rollercoaster kid!), #Schauffele, #Rory, #JustinRose.

Good for #TonyFinau, steady Major perfs after #Masters injury.

Bad luck for #Tiger. His win would've broken the (sports) internet🤗

#BritishOpen #TheOpen

Spieth Makes a Costly Final-Round Late Bogey 2018 The Open

Oh no! #Spieth!!!!!!!!!!!! 

#BritishOpen er, I mean, #TheOpen

Michael Stich & #Helena Sukova Inducted into Tennis HOF

You Know You're Too Old When: #MichaelStich & #HelenaSukova are inducted into #Tennis #HOF. 🎾💪 

Was lucky enough to have seen  #Stich live - dude was awesome! (Same day we saw World #1 & #2 lose on the same court...a story for another day!)

PS. Where's #Kafelnikov?!🤔🤷‍♀️

Stop the Sports Presses! Tiger Woods is Leading a Major!

So.... as soon as #Tiger's name pops up on top of the leaderboard all the contenders suddenly find themslevles in trouble on a benign  course.

Coincidence?

#BritishOpen er, I mean, #TheOpen

Winter Brothers (Vinterbrødre) Theatrical Release!

OMG! The incredible #WinterBrothers (#Vinterbrodre) is getting a theatrical release! Run, don't walk to this completely unique cinematic experience!

Bogie Retrospective at the Aero / Devil in a Blue Dress at the Laemmle

Yo! @SidGrauman has a #HumphreyBogart retro starting tonight at the venerable #AeroTheatre!

Also, get your #Denzel weekend started with #DevilInABlueDress (criminally underappreciated, directed by the great #CarlFranklin) @laemmle!

Thoroughbreds

#Thoroughbreds

What a calling-card film debut! Fun exercise in cinematic high style, with detached-irony 'tude & ambition. Kid director Finley will go places. Prod design(!), composer & DP -👏. Two leads are sensational, Sparks is key, but Yelchin steals the entire film. Sigh😔

Sweet Virginia

#SweetVirginia

Terrific, terse, tense, spare, pulpy noir. Well crafted by young director Dagg & DP Gagne. Cast is in fine form, headlined by an against-type Bernthal. But man, Abbott is sensational! Don't look now, but the former Girls star is having his own awesome indie career

Billions (SHOWTIME)

#Billions: Basically, an excuse to see #Giamatti strut his stuff & what glorious stuff it is! Every year he doesn't win an #Emmy is a snub. The breakout star is Dillon (👏), with strong work from Rashad, Costabile (Doug from Flight of the Conchords?!) & Malkovich (that accent!🤣)

Djokovic and Bryan/Sock(?!) Win 2018 Wimbledon

A resurgent #Djokovic should send tremors of terror through the #ATP.

 

Great "comeback" #Wimbledon win over sadly-physically-diminished-but-still-courageous Kevin Anderson.

PS. Congrats to #JackSock on *his* Major win with #MikeBryan (still fighting the good fight)! 🎾👏

France Beats Croatia to Win 2018 World Cup

Great #WorldCupFinal ended a great #WorldCup!

Bad luck for #CRO done in by own-goal & dodgy penalty

But it sure looked like #Deschamps unlocked #FRA's potential. That #Pogba strike! It's #Mbappe's football world we just live in it!

Somewhere, #Zidane looks on in pride

#FRACRO

Kerber Upsets Serena to Win 2018 Wimbledon

Great effort by #Kerber winning her 3rd(!) Major, esp given her non-power thinking-woman's Tennis!👏

Great effort by #Serena getting back to #GOAT-level thru sheer force of will!

Great effort by #Djokovic beating #Rafa (& deploying closed-roof Jedi mindtricks😇)!

#Wimbledon

India Easily Win First ODI

Woah! #IND could have something brewing here! 

Comprehensive ODI win thx to bowling(?!). #KuldeepYadav -where'd this kid come from?! Great stuff from #RohitSharma. Always fun to see #Shikhar get quick runs.

Beating #ENG (who flattened the mighty #AUS-sies) *in* England💪

#ENGvIND

Isner Loses Epic to Anderson 2018 Wimbledon

Poor bl**dy #JohnIsner! Another #Wimbledon, another marathon...this time it's his heartbreak.

Valiant effort by #KevinAnderson. Second Slam final out of the last four. What a career turnaround.

But poor #Isner... 😩

Matt Kemp Makes All-Star Team but Max Muncy Comes Up Just Short

Bad luck for #MaxMuncy...

but fantastic news for TBH's fave #MattKemp (.313 BA / 15 HR / 59 RBI /.890 OPS-whatever that is🤷‍♀️)! 

#BBWA have to give him that make-good #MVP, right (which he should've won outright in the first place anyway!)?

#Dodgers #AllStarGame#NLMVP

Inside Story of How LeBron Became a Laker

The excellent @ramonashelburne on #LeBron's (#LABron?!) move to the #Lakers...

Look, I'll always be an LBJ fan (or is that stan?), but man does this make @lakers fans even more...well, ya know...🙄

https://t.co/ap6Lx1SjYk

Sicario: Day of the Soldado

#SicarioDayOfTheSoldado

Worthy follow-up to an awesome film. I'm always up for a thought-provoking, squirm-inducing, elevated genre exercise. Sollima & the cast are very good (kids Moner & Rodriguez steal it👏). Yo, Sheridan, spinoff TV series please.

PS. RIP #JohannJohannsson😔

Croatia Beat England in Thrilling Match to Reach Finals 2018 World Cup

So, #ItsNotComingHome?😭 

#CROENG came alive after that #CRO equalizer. Stunning saves (from #Subasic...& #Vrsaljko👏) & strikes (whataball from #Perisic!)

Bad luck for #ENG, Bend-It-Like-#Trippier, & that kid #Rashford #Pickford probably regrets sledging #Mandzukic😇

#WorldCup

Djokovic and Rafa to Meet in Semis! 2018 Wimbledon

Looks like #Nishikori & #DelPo (🎾💪!) got the memo... we're getting #Djokovic(centrecourt Jedi mindtricks😇!)-#Rafa after all!

Man, #KevinAnderson *won* that match, taking advantage of #Federer's all-#GOAT-things-must-come-to-an-end walkabout after 3rd Set MP😢

#Wimbledon!

Federer Heartbreaking Loss 2018 Wimbledon

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! #Federer

Serena and Kerber Go Through to Semis 2018 Wimbledon

Fab #Serena win over always-fun #Giorgi(red-line tennis!💪)!

#Kerber-#Kasatkina was a masterclass in geometry (🤓)! If styles make fights the matchup with #Sehwag-ian see-ball-hit-ball #Ostapenko should be a cracker!

PS. #MikeBryan 40yo No. 1! Yay fellow old guy!

#Wimbledon!

Belgium Comes Up Short Against France 2018 World Cup

Bad luck for #BEL's Golden Generation, eventually outplayed by (a gritty, tough?! wha?!) #FRA (& a marauding #Mbappe + gutty #Lloris). 

Somewhere, #Zidane is beaming with pride at what #Deschamps has managed to pull off...hope he can take them all the way!

#FRABEL

#WorldCup

Federer Makes It Through to the Quarter-Finals 2018 Wimbledon

Just another #Wimbledon #ManicMonday!😂

#Federer GOAT-ness on *full* display in 1st set, but #Mannarino ended up testing him. #KevinAnderson will be hard, esp after beating #LaMonf

Great win for #Serena (over fellow mom👏#Rodina) & #Isner

Perhaps a #Djokovic-#Nadal...semis?!🙀

Ocean’s 8

#Oceans8

Best Non-#Soderbergh Soderbergh Homage, Ever! Good harmless fun. And, yes, it's true, Hathaway steals it, HBC (as always) is great-if-underused, and Paulson more than holds her own. A nice way to beat the summer heat in an air-conditioned movie theatre.☀️😀🎥🍿

Dravid, Ponting & Taylor Inducted into Cricket Hall of Fame

You Know You're #TooOld When: #RahulDravid, #RickyPonting, & #ClaireTaylor are inducted into the cricket #HOF. #Ponting was one of the most underappreciated all-timers.

#Dravid...man, where would we be without #TheWall?! One of my *all*-time faves!

#ICCHallofFame

India Win An Away (T20) Series in England!

It's one thing to run down ~200 in a T20, but to do it in #ENG⁠ ⁠, against a team fresh off whitewashing the (poor?!) #AUS⁠ ⁠-sies, that's a h*lluva thing, no matter the format!

Well done to #Virat's boys, esp #RohitSharma... & #Hardik (4 for 38 + 33 off 14!😀)! 🏏💪👏👍

#ENGvIND

‪RIP Steve Ditko‬

RIP #SteveDitko. I'll let the experts unpack his incredible legacy, but a neophyte like myself will always be thankful for, amongst (*many*) things, #SpiderMan. 

PS. Was there a musical Batman animated ep with #Creeper...or was I hallucinating?!

England Wins as Russian Run Comes to an End 2018 World Cup

Man, this #WorldCup's been *insane*! #RUS-sian dream run comes to an end, but that was some goal by #Cheryshev. Courageous stuff from #CRO's #Subasic.

#RUSCRO

As #McManaman said, if #ENG keep this up they'll have to close the entire country down! 😁

#SWEENG

Belgium Beats Brazil in Thrilling Match / France Wins 2018 World Cup

Speaking of #FRA athletes living up to potential, solid win over #URU (poor #Muslera)

#URUFRA

#BRABEL👍🙀💥! What a win for #BEL over #BRA! Another #Lukaku run & some #Djokovic-esque saves by #Courtois😯👏

PS Beautiful ball from ex-#LFC😣 #Coutinho

PPS #FRABEL⚽️💪🎇

#WorldCup!

Federer Gets Through to Week 2 2018 Wimbledon

Whew! #Federer was ready for kid #Struff! Week 2 gets tougher w/ #Mannarino, tricky/stylish/shotmake...ie French😅

#Serena needed all of her #GOAT-ness, bad luck for #Venus😟

#LaMonf *battling* to wins👍

PS #Tiafoe!

PPS Poor #TaylorFritz, blinded by the bad light...

#Wimbledon⁠ ⁠

Sorry to Bother You

#SorryToBotherYou

I can't believe what I just saw! 😳 Absolutely insane, completely gonzo, ya-gotta-see-it-to-believe dark-comedy/satire that hits close to home...🤔

Great cast, esp leading-man Stanfield. Sensational debut(!) by Riley.

PS. "Michel Dongry"🤣

@AnnapurnaPics

RIP Robby Muller

RIP #RobbyMuller

All-time great indie film cinematographer responsible for some of the most iconic images in cinema history. What an *astonishing* filmography and list of collaborators. His work will live on in celluloid immortality. 

Happy Fourth of July

Hope y'all had a nice #FourthOfJuly!

Please firework responsibly! 😀 🎇 🎆

Federer Wins Round 2 2018 Wimbledon

Good thing #Federer rolled today, he's gonna need *all* his #GOAT-power against kid #Struff😰(hoping it isn't the end for #Karlovic)! Good wins too for #Serena, #Venus, #Tiafoe (over #Verdasco!)...& #Kyrgios (over always-tough #Istomin)! If only Nick applied himself...

#Wimbledon

England Squeak By Colombia Vanquishing Their Penalty Demons 2018 World Cup

#WorldCup...ain't nuthin' like it (esp on Telemundo...even/esp if you don't speak Spanish 😂)!!

Bad luck for #COL (& #James + #YerryMina + #Ospina), but hasn't #ENG suffered enough of late 😏

PS. Almost (another) #LFC heartbreak with that #JordanHenderson miss...

#COLENG

Federer Wins Round 1 2018 Wimbledon

Exactly the kind of easy #GOAT-start #Federer needed over #Lajovic. PS. Where can I get #Uniqlo #RF gear?!

Good wins for #Serena, #Venus, #Madison, #Isner, #Stanimal (*R1* over #Dimitrov?!), #LaMonf (R1 over #Gasquet?!). Tough break for #Sloane & esp #SteveJohnson.

#Wimbledon
