‪#RohitSharma may be second only to #SachinTendulkar, but he's No.1 in Baba's heart🏏😍🤣!‬

‪No, seriously, #Rohit *10* centuries in 2019, that's some year!👏💪‬

Honey Boy

‪#HoneyBoy‬

‪Well-crafted, therapeutic meta autofiction visually-striking first feature. Young director Har'el has style to spare (that opening sequence has to be one of the best in any film all year👏👏!). Kudos to DP, music, fab cast, LaBeouf, Hedges and esp. awesome Jupe!‬

The Up Series is Deserving of an Honourary Oscar

‪PS. The #UpSeries has to be considered one of the greatest achievement in cinema history, no? ‬

‪Hopefully @theacademy is listening and finally decides to give #MichaelApted & Co. one of their coveted Honourary #Oscars…‬

‪...maybe even an outright #Oscar next year for #63Up? 😇 ‬

--

63 Up

‪#63Up‬

‪The #UpSeries is a *truly* incredible cinematic feat. What #MichaelApted & Co. have done simply boggles the mind. This one may be the most poignant of them all (aren't they all, tho'?). Yeah, it's their lives flashing before your eyes, but in a way, it's your's too, no?😳‬

6 Underground

‪#6Underground‬

‪#MichaelBay's #JoeCarnahan movie🤣! 2+ hours of Bay TURNED UP TO 11!…with some dialogue? story? exposition? character development...nah, let's not go too far!? thrown in from time to time. PS. Hope we get 8 more of these...unleash the BCU, @netflix, unleash it!‬

RIP Danny Aiello

‪RIP #DannyAiello‬

‪I *loved* this guy, one of my *all*-time favourite char. actors. I mean, he's been so awesome for so long, you even forget the first time you saw him, right? He just seemed to be always there, no?, being awesome in so many movies. A true loss for cinema, sigh...‬

LeBron (and Lakers) Get Huge Comeback Win Over Heat

‪Whatacomeback for #LeBron, er I mean, #Lakers! ‬

‪I mean, this is probably not a preview of the #NBA Finals, but for him, er them, to battle back on the road against the #Heat...that'll come in handy (esp come #MVP voting time😇)!‬

‪PS. #CoachSpo keeps on keepin' on, eh?👍‬

Ash Barty WTA Player of the Year

‪Tip o' ye old cap to (ex-cricketer🏏😳!) #AshBarty for winning #WTA POTY. What a year: World No. 1, #FrenchOpen (sorry, #RolandGarros), 4 titles, 57 wins, #WTAFinals where she won... $4 *Million*... what a bl**dy year!!!🎾👍👏✊🙌👌🤘🤙‬

--

RIP Michael J. Pollard

‪RIP #MichaelJPollard‬

‪Another, classic, I-love-that-guy character actor. I'd already loved his quirky, outcast, world-wise, immediately empathetic roles in so many movies (like #TangoAndCash!) before I finally caught up to the iconic #BonnieAndClyde. He really was unique, sigh...‬

--

Queen & Slim

‪#QueenAndSlim‬

‪In-your-face, visually stunning debut from director Matsoukas. Music & cinematography add immeasurably to the whole mood, well done! Well done, too, to the entire cast, esp Woodbine & Kaluuya, who turns in a fab self-assured, nuanced, empathetic lead performance.‬

--

RIP Bob Willis

‪RIP #BobWillis‬

‪Heard about him from my father growing up. Judging by the photos & highlights it must've been a terrifying sight: him thundering down ready to knock your block off! His 8-43 has to be one of the greatest sport miracles. 325 test wickets when 300 meant something.‬

--

Knives Out

‪#KnivesOut ‬

‪Good, clean, #AgathaChristie-all-star(-all-the-time!) fun. Speaking of fun, lookit #JamesBond having so much of it🤣! Speaking of all-star: director, cast, prod design (that knife sculpture👍), editing, music, etc. - kudos to one and all.‬

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

‪#PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles (1987)‬

‪So, #JohnHughes' #ToddPhillips movie, no?😇 Watching it again I realised how truly great it was: cast (Martin+so many supporting recognisable faces), dark/sweet/melancholy humour, "allergy"-inducing end & *great* #Oscars-deserving #JohnCandy🥺‬

Transitional Year in Men's Tennis

‪Yo! @ABFalecbaldwin was right, this *was* a transitional year on the #ATP‬

‪Man, this really was a great era, fun while it lasted...🥺‬

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

‪#ABeautifulDayInTheNeighborhood ‬

Terrific Article on the Oudh Family of Delhi

‪As much a paean to the immortal power of unyielding journalism as it is to the immortal power of faded exotic glamour.‬

‪Terrific writing by @EllenBarryNYT; you can practically see the #Netflix desi-#GreyGardens series this is destined to become! @nytimes‬

Dominika Cibulkova & Tomas Berdych Retire

‪You Know You're Too Old When: #DominikaCibulkova & #TomasBerdych Retire‬

‪Both played awesome, aggressive #tennis, Domi over-achieved (loved her fiesty go-for-broke style), Tommy under-ed, esp given all his firepower Still, he was a great of his era, some achievement given his era‬

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)

‪#WontYouBeMyNeighbor? (2018) ‬

‪The kind of (true-story!) feel-good movie we could all use more of nowadays. I myself missed the whole #MisterRogers thing, but based on the film (& TBH's tears!) I understood the impact this kindly chap had on generations of American kids🥺 ‬

--

Good Boys

‪#GoodBoys‬

‪Good, (not-so😱!)clean, kids say(and do😱!) the da*ndest things fun. The three leads are great with the kid Williams stealing the show. PS.  #SethRogen's created quite the on-brand sweet-but-not-too-salty Gentle-R-rated producing career for himself. Well done!‬

India Puts Up Massive Total Against Bangladesh 2019(-20?) Test 1

‪#IND playing #BAN at home is the #Oprah of Tests: you get a half-century, you get a half-century...or in #MayankAgarwal's case, *many* half-centuries(😲💪)!‬

‪PS. Great to see #Pujara in the runs, trust me, you'll need those when your back's truly against the wall!‬

Ford v Ferrari

‪#FordVFerrari ‬

‪Bloody (Go Like)H*ll! G*d Bless the exec who greenlit this, Mangold, sound design, Nolan-level aversion to CGI(!), *sprawling* cast (Damon, Balfe, McKinnon, young Jupe, Letts) & esp they-should-just-build-an-acting-nom-wing-for-him-at-the-#Oscars #ChristianBale!‬

Steelers Lose to Awful Browns

Gawd, the #Browns'd already descended into #Bengals-land with those dirty targeted hits on #JuJu & #Diontae...

...if that'd been #TomBrady, #MylesGarrett & #Ogunjobi would've been banned for life!

Sigh, at least #JaylenSamuels scored a TD...
