RIP #MichaelChapman

Not a household name like other star DPs, but when you have a career that stretches from #Spielberg & #Scorsese to #SpaceJam & directors that include #Coppola, #Ashby, #Cassavetes #Pakula...you're not merely part of cinema history...you *are* cinema history!

Clayton Kershaw Deserves 2020 NL Cy Young (and Mookie and Corey Deserve Awards Too)

Dear #BBWA, please don't be distracted by the shiny new social-media object...

#Clayton #Kershaw (6-2, 2.16! ERA, 0.84 WHIP[🤷‍♀️]) deserves to be #NL #CyYoung!

RIP Dean Jones

RIP #DeanJones

So many vivid TV memories: that white zinc, swagger, smashing bowlers all over the place, rebellious spirit. Like most iconoclasts, he may not have fulfilled his potential, but he'll never be forgotten for the mark he made & joy he gave to #cricket-lovers.

Steelers Get Tough Win Over Texans in Watt Bowl

The #WattBowl was a little too close for comfort but that's the kind of gritty, come-from-behind win that inspires optimism for the #Steelers, no?

PS. #MikeHilton, #JamesConnor, #JuJu, #TJWatt, #MapleTron(😂)💪!

PPS. Hope #Diontae's okay🙏

LeBron and the Lakers Finally Put Away the Scrappy Nuggets

🤭

#LeBron's 10th assist was the key turning point in a game that had become too close for comfort followed by one jaw-dropping impossibly difficult low-percentage shot after another..🤩 just too much, man, just too much!

PS. #JamesWorthy...still under-appreciated, no?

#Lakers

LeBron Never Ceases to Amaze!

#LeBron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS #JamalMurray😲!

Well-crafted, stirring biopic. Credit to director Leder for guiding us through complex legal battles without ever losing sight of the characters at the heart of it all. Speaking of, great work by #KathyBates, #ArmieHammer & esp. #FelicityJones as #RBG

Lakers Lose Game 3 to Nuggets

Yeesh... it was never gonna be easy, esp when that kid #JamalMurray is so untrammeled by any doubt!

This must-win Game 4 is gonna be the death of me 😰!

PS. At least #LeBron had another triple-double...trust me, it'll be important in the final accounting👍

RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg

RIP #RuthBaderGinsburg

A monumental figure in modern American history. Almost everything I know is based on two films: #RBG & #OnTheBasisOfSex. The impact she had on all our lives is profound and undeniable. We owe her so much gratitude for her tireless fight for equality.

First #LeBron was in unstoppable-vengeful-#MVP mode...

LeBron / Lakers Win Game vs. Nuggets

Ya know, after the #MVP award today #LeBron coulda put up a bunch of meaningless stats to "prove" a point...instead he just focused on making sure #Lakers won👍

Speaking of meaningless, #Rondo & #JRSmith are #NBA all-time Top 10 in...something🤷‍♀️

PS. #AD💪

PPS. #Nuggets in 4Q😰

Murder in the Woods

#MurderInTheWoods

Good, clean, 80's-slasher-homage fun. TBH: they brought a giant hunting knife but no flashlight...hah #millennials (or #GenZ🤔?)! But the same kids boostrapped this on a microbudget with no industry support & managed to land the one, the only, #DannyTrejo👍!

Bryan Brothers (Mike & Bob Bryan) Retire

You Know You're #TooOld When: #BryanBros(? #BryanBrothers?) Retire

Bad luck for #MikeBryan & #BobBryan they came along when US interest in men's #tennis was dwindling. Deserved more kudos for their incredible #GOAT(tied) doubles career, and for being such a dominant sports team.

#21Bridges

Good, clean, spare-no-expense, production-values-up-the-wazoo, awesome-music, tremendous DP-ing, turn-off-your-brain-and-enjoy flick. Name-brand cast rises above the plot, esp. that kid James, & the effortlessly commanding #ChadwickBoseman, so much range…
