If anyone dared to D up #StephCurry the way #Draymond ambushed #LeBron, the #NBA would call in the National Guard! 🤨

#Lakers #LakeShow

RIP Charles Grodin

RIP #CharlesGrodin

One of my *all*-time favourite leading actor? character actor? comedian? talk show guest? talk show host?…just all around favourite inimitable, irascible, interesting, characters. What a strange, singular screen presence. There'll never be another like him.

Liverpool Beats Manchester United Handily

No matter how the #PL season shakes out, #Liverpool's free-flowin' back-to-form drubbing of hated #MUFC makes it all worthwhile 👏!

Holy H*ll…literally! Insanest, craziest, gonzoest, brazenest, audaciousest…*most*est movie of the year, any year! The looks on the #Oscars voters faces used to the genteel well-mannered desi films that usually make the fest/critics rounds in the West😏

Kapurush (The Coward) (1965)

#Kapurush (#TheCoward) (1965)

Precisely calibrated self-contained emotional wallop. #SatyajitRay's coolly-observed hothouse of emotion wrapped in luscious B&W noir. Legendary troika is aces: #SoumitraChatterjee, #MadhabiMukherjee & esp scene-stealing #HaradhanBannerjee Fabulous!

Alexandr Dolgopolov Retires

You Know Youre' #TooOld When: #AlexandrDolgopolov Retires

Man, #Dolgopolov(did they really call him #TheDog?!) was a *lot* of fun, his brand of quirky-awesome #tennis was a welcome respite. The sport will be a lot more boring without @TheDolgo

Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse

#WithoutRemorse

Good, clean, dad-*action*(!)-movie fun. I'm a sucker for Sollima's brand of tersely macho, just-the-bodycount-ma'am style of action, especially when it's combined with the lensing of the legendary Rousselot. Bell, Turner-Smith, & Jordan(😮💪) all have a good time

Check out #TCM, #Criterion, #HBOMax(?!😳🤩) to get a taste of his *incomparable* films!
