Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful!

Makes you believe in cinema amidst all the doom & (streaming)gloom. Kid dir Bentley, DP-ing, prod/sound design, music👏. Entire cast is aces, but man, *all* the Oscars for the *great* #CliftonCollinsJr. That final shot, my allergies😢

West Side Story

#WestSideStory

Wait, *the* #Spielberg directed a remake of my (grand/)parents' favourite musical?! Be still my beating heart! Good remake, courtesy his one-of-a-kind-sense-of-*cinema*. Cast is game, but, wow, #Oscars for #ArianaDeBose, #MikeFaist...& the one/only #RitaMoreno🤩!

RIP Demaryius Thomas

RIP #DemaryiusThomas

Gone *way* too soon. Honestly, first took notice because of the eye-popping numbers he put up for my fantasy team. But then become a huge fan watching him (that walk-off vs TBH's beloved Steelers!), a pro's pro, always with a smile, 

Just heartbreaking.


West Side Story (1961)

#WestSideStory (1961)

How do you unpack the original😬?! I mean all its subversiveness is sorta undone by, ya know, that whole Sharks *thing*😲...but you can acknowledge the craft of it all, the *legends* in front of and behind the camera, and the *astonishing* #RitaMoreno🤩!

Chase Claypool Finds Redemption Against the Vikings

And, of course, #ChaseClaypool💪!

Steelers Pull Off Miracle Upset Over the Ravens at Home

*Just* like I was mansplaining to TBH, the #Lions match was the kind the #Steelers usually (not😵‍💫) lose, but the #Ravens one was the kind they (barely🙏) win🤩😂!

So, uh, what does that make the #Vikings…😲

PS. #WizardOfBoz for MVP👍!

#HereWeGo !!!!!!!!

House of Gucci

#HouseOfGucci

Terrific, rip-roaring high-camp/comedy(campedy?) yet-somehow-heartfelt never-not-entertaining Shakespearean-tragicomedy fun! Huston, Driver & the great Irons play it low-key; Pacino, Leto(😲), & esp #LadyGaga let loose with *all* the keys🤩! Sir Ridley, wow👊!

Dodgers’ Urias / Buehler Robbed of 2021 NL Cy Young

Oh, #BBWA, never change🤦‍♀️

Who, or what, is a #CorbinBurnes🤔?!

I'm sure he's a nice chap, but c'mon people, #JulioUrias or #WalkerBuehler deserved the #CyYoung😫!

Oh well, I guess there's always next year…

#Dodgers

Steelers Drag Out a Draw at Home Against Winless Lions

What was that🥵?!

I warned TBH, this is *exactly* the kind of game the #Steelers lose…at least they didn't do that🙏

Speaking of…hope #TJWatt and #JoeHaden are okay🙏

#HereWeGo

RIP #DeanStockwell

RIP #DeanStockwell

One of my favourite I-love-that-guy! actors. Discovered him on sporadic #QuantumLeap reruns and then caught up with his 80s filmography - wow! And to think he'd been doing it since the days of peak Gregory Peck! What a long strange wonderful impressive career.

Ma Trending on Twitter!

Wait, Ma was trending under #football😲?!

Maybe, TBH's lifelong plan to turn my mother into a #Steelers fan worked😂!

Atlanta Baseball Team Needs to Stop Derogatory Chop and Chant

Speaking of #WorldSeries …

Any loss for #Cheatstros, er, #Trashtros, er #Astros is a win for humanity🤨

But, man, #ATL needs to stop with that derogatory chop and ridiculous chant esp. after TBH informed me about GA's unfortunate history with the Trail of Tears...

Dodgers Lose to Braves 2021 NLCS

Sigh, so no #RepeatLA, but atleast #Dodgers gave Dodger Stadium one final charge!

Kid #Buehler was a, ahem, warrior, stepping up when others (w/c)ouldn't👍

Thank you #Seager😪🙏

PS. #Kershaw & #Kenley will be back, right😨?

Dream Horse

#DreamHorse

Wonderful! *Exactly* the kind of well-crafted, feelgood underdog story, filled-to-the-brim-with-colourful-characters-&-superb-actors that the Brits do oh-so well, and that we could all use right about now. Great stuff from the director, Collette, Lewis & esp Teale👍

KKR Comes Up Short in Miracle End to 2021 IPL Finals

 





Look, I would make some snide comment about #CSK, again😬? and the self-fulfilling prophesy of Bengali fatalism, but given their horrific #IPL start, the way #KKR put together their 2nd half to come *this* close…

Well done!

#IPL2021 #AmiKKR

PS #T20WorldCup21 already😲?!

No wonder #NFL  refs are a bunch of lawyers officiating as a side hustle… only some sense, arcane, archaic rules-ese can rationalise this rubbish 🙄

Dude, ever hear of the #TuckRule?!😡

Kolkata Knight Riders Complete Miraculous Comeback to Make Finals 2021 IPL

 





Un-bl**dy-believable!

Okay, math(s) is not my strong suit but did #KKR just win a million matches in a row, all off the last ball, to come from *way* behind to make #IPL2021 finals?!

Happy Pujo on and all🥳!

I don't know much, *any* thing about sports gambling but I would've bet everything on #Steelers -1 at home vs #Broncos...

Until it got too close for comfort😬!

Anyhoo, well done #Najee & #Diontae for giving me much-needed fantasy pts, Defence & #Boswell🤘

G*ds bless #JulioUrias, the most under-rated/appreciated/the-radar clutch pitcher in baseball!

Man, I love the kid #Buehler & #Kornheiser *loves* his #WarriorGod #Scherzer, but they gotta give the #CyYoung to #Urias✊!

PS. #Bellinger🤘!

Dodgers Lose to Giants 2021 NLDS Game 1

Gosh, those #Giants are insufferable, acting like they won the World Series instead of Game 1🙄…

Chin up #Buehler, #Dodgers are gonna need you on this postseason run🙏
