Roy Oswalt Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: Roy #Oswalt Retires. The pitching equivalent of a "hard out." Always liked how he battled.

RIP Sid Caesar

RIP Sid Caesar. Loved him in movies like Grease & Mad, Mad World. Found out later that TV comedy would not be what it is without him. Legend

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

Mandela - Long Walk to Freedom: Bittersweet given recent events Tries hard but becomes the kind of hagiography the subject himself disdained

RIP Shirley Temple

RIP Shirley Temple. As long as there is Hollywood and bars/restaurants in this world, her name will not be forgotten.

New Zealand Beats India in First Test

Great Test match. Bad luck for #India, gutsy job by #NewZealand. Based on #Dhawan & #Kohli battling, Gen Next is looking good. #NZvInd

Hey @NBCNews, too bad you missed this heartbreaking story by @davidfilipov on the stray dogs of #Sochi2014. http://t.co/42Myfosx5i

Nina Loses Top Chef

[SPOILER ALERT] Can't believe emotionally unstable @nicholaselmi won #TopChef. @nina_compton deserved better and did #StLucia proud! Sigh...

The Past

The Past: Another small-scale masterpiece from Farhadi Once it gets going it digs into you & stays there Great cast esp young Burlet & Aguis

Kevin Pietersen "Retires"

You Know You're Too Old When: Kevin Pietersen (#KP) "retires." England's gutless implosion post-#Ashes reads like a bad Monty Python skit.

The Black Lips SPIN Magazine Article

TBH's favourite band @TheBlackLips are back and, according to @SPINmagazine, better than ever! http://t.co/ZKx7guPP5w

Jerome Bettis Hall of Fame Snub

Sure, I'm happy #RayGuy made it into the #NFL #HOF, but c'mon, will they please put @JeromeBettis36 in already?! #TheBus #Steelers

After Tiller

After Tiller: Elegantly crafted welcome take on a furiously partisan subject. Gives a human face to those bravely standing on the frontlines

12 O'Clock Boys Trailer

Extremley awesome trailer for "12 O'Clock Boys"! Makes you miss #TheWire, don't it? :-) @12oclockboys http://t.co/MDP7nGZrTi

Seahawks Win the Super Bowl!

Yay @Seahawks & the awesome @PeteCarroll! Talk about a dominating #SuperBowl win! I feel bad for #Peyton & poor chap injured @RSherman_25.

Disrespectful Interview of President Obama

Shame on @FOXSports for turning the #SuperBowl into a partisan blindside with that astonishingly disrespectful interview of #POTUS

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. Rochester(!) native did enough in his 46 years to last many lifetimes. Still, it's shocking he died this young.

Stanislas Wawrinka Australian Open Victory Anniversary

What day is it? Why it's the one-week anniversary of @stanwawrinka's upset for the ages at #AusOpen!! What an incredible feat! #Stanimal

Ask Your Mama 12 Moods for Jazz: Theo Huxtable grew up & became an awesome spoken word Jazz poet doing some great Langston Hughes! Nice.

Maximilian Schelling in The Black Hole

@stoobush OMBG...how could I bl**dy forget! I stared at that lunchbox every day for 20+ years before I finally saw the movie!

RIP Maximilian Schell

RIP Maximilian Schell. Loved him in Judgment in Nuremberg and Julia...and Deep Impact.

Lance Berkman Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: Lance Berkman Retires. Great career, but more importantly, I always thought #TheBigPuma/#FatElvis was funny.

Labor Day

Labor Day: Even the great Kate Winslet can't save this melodramatic claptrap. Destined for cult classic status after endless Lifetime reruns

Durant Beats LeBron

Great, just bl**dy great. #Durant outduels #Heat, wraps up MVP, and causes heartache and pain for this lone #LeBron fan in LA. Sigh...

The Hunt

The Hunt: Glad to see Vinterberg leave the Dogma95 affectations behind. Great perfs by Mikkelsen & the very young Wedderkopp. Good movie.

New Zealand Upsets India in ODI Series

Looks like #NewZealand didn't get @BCCI/@ICC memo they're being legislated into oblivion. Big upset over #India to win ODI series. #NZvInd

Seth Davis Retweet

@PratikBasu thanks for coming by!

Seth Davis Book Reading

Great job by @SethDavisHoops at his book reading. They changed title from The Teacher to #Wooden because of search engine optimization! Ha!

Federer Beats Murray!

Vintage #Federer is back...well at least for another night against whiner #Murray! Now, if only #BabyFed had come through... ;-) #AusOpen

Federer Thrashes Tsonga!

Still luxuriating in that vintage #Federer beat-down of #Tsonga! Not sure what's gonna happen next but I'll enjoy this while I can! #AusOpen

Seahwaks Beat the 49ers!

Thank G*d! #PeteCarroll & #Seahawks beat the insufferable #49ers! Two teams I love in #SuperBowl! Now if only #Federer can beat #Tsonga! :-)

Peyton Manning Beats Tom Brady!

Oma-bloody-ha! #Peyton overcomes his detractors (& #Brady) to drive the #Broncos to the #SuperBowl! Let's hope #Federer is inspired! #Omaha

Serena Upset By Ivanovic at Australian Open 2014

Woah! Huge upset at #AusOpen! #Serena ousted by flashy-but-inconsistent #Ivanovic. Let's hope she can keep it going!

47 Ronin

47 Ronin: Not nearly as bad as all the pre-release hype would have you believe. In fact, it's not bad at all. Sanada & Kikuchi are awesome.

True Detective

#TrueDetective: Uneven but compelling start. Loved Harrelson & McConaughey (what a streak!). Slightly over-directed by the young Fukunaga.

Lone Survivor

Lone Survivor: Incredible cast esp Foster. Expertly crafted by Berg (gun battle...whew!). Film comes agonizingly close to being truly great.

Grantland Article on Max Casella

Thank you @Grantland33 for showcasing the great #MaxCasella Vinnie Delpino lives! (& kills it in Inside Llewyn Davis) http://t.co/s1r5Ncg95f

Intelligence

#Intelligence: Woohoo! Sawyer, I mean Holloway, is back...too bad he didn't bring the #Lost writers with him. Still, it's good harmless fun!

Malcom Gladwell Article on Marvin Miller

Revisiting the great @Gladwell piece on #MarvinMiller. Deserves to be in the #MLB #HOF. http://t.co/RPfAu7hFj6

Dallas Buyers Club

Dallas Buyers Club: Nicely put together by director Vallee. Strong performances overcome a meandering script, esp from Leto & McConaughey.

Mitchell Johnson's Ashes

Met @MitchJohnson398 once, disappointingly polite despite me goading him ;-) This #Ashes whitewash will go down as #MitchellsAshes! #AusvEng

RIP Eusebio

RIP #Eusebio. Great Portuguese footballer from the golden age.

The Invisible Woman

The Invisible Woman: Not bad. Our Ralph Fiennes is a superb actor and if he keeps at it he'll turn into a pretty good director someday.

RIP Phil Everly

RIP Phil Everly. Loved listening to The Everly Brothers growing up. http://t.co/i3ztFVs5lo

Blue Is the Warmest Color

Blue Is the Warmest Color: Starts promisingly but sadly devolves betraying an extraordinary performance by Exarchopoulos She deserves better

Oklahoma Beats Alabama in Sugar Bowl

C'mon you have to agree the world is a better place now that #NickSatan has been vanquished, even at the hands of whiner #Stoops! #SugarBowl

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug: Woah! Knew it would be better than the awful first but this, um, better?! The dragon! Thanks del Toro!

Steelers Miss the Playoffs

Aw man! So close for the #Steelers! At least the #SuperBowl reign of the insufferable #Ravens & smug big-armed oaf #Flacco is over. #NFL

Succop Misses an Easy Field Goal!

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Succop, um, s*cks!!!!

Steelers Slim Playoff Hopes Still Alive!

Do you believe in miracles?! #Steelers could make it into the #NFL playoffs. But #Chiefs aren't playing their starters?! Boo #AndyReid!

Mud

Mud: Grown up version of a kid's film. If I'd been 12 this would've been one that I would've remembered very fondly for a long, long time.

American Hustle

American Hustle: Ah, the student (Russell) comes oh-so close but doesn't quite become the master (Scorsese). Great stuff, esp Renner & Bale!

Graeme Swann Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: Graeme #Swann retires. A sad, somewhat ignominious end to a great (though not quite all-time great) career.

The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street: Dark. Cynical. Un-repentant/redemptive. Quite possibly the best movie of the year! Gonzo Marty & Leo are incredible

Happy Holidays 2013

Merry Christmas...I mean Happy Holidays world! :-)

South Africa Pull Off Draw Against India

Bad luck for #India who almost pulled off a stunning upset. #SouthAfrica did well to get a brave draw. Nice to see #Zaheer get 300. #SAvInd

Last Day at Hollywood Park

Bye #HollywoodPark. Sad to see you turned into the obligatory condos & stores. Sadder still I lost the last race by a nose! @hollyparkracing

USC Wins Las Vegas Bowl

After that thrashing #USC put on #FresnoState at the #LasVegasBowl I guess I have no choice but to get back on the #Trojans bandwagon!

Anchorman 2: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Anchorman 2: Back in the day when I told people that Anchorman was better than Old School they laughed at me. Well, who's laughing now?!

Luis Suarez New Deal with Liverpool

He may be a knucklehead but he's our knucklehead! Good to see Luis #Suarez staying with @LFC! #Arsenal is toast! @luis16suarez

August: Osage County

August Osage County: Hoo boy! Family, right? Talk about Acting with a Capital A. Stellar cast but suprisingly it's Roberts who truly shines.

Australia Wins the Ashes 2013-14

Thanks a lot #England You've reawakened #Australia & no one in the #Cricket world is safe anymore! #MitchellsAshes #AusvEng @MitchJohnson398

Philomena

Philomena: Ah, nothing like a well-crafted movie made by an old pro like Frears. Coogan is great & Dench shines in an against-type turn.

RIP Peter O'Toole

RIP Peter O'Toole. My favorite actor of all time. Criminal that he never won an Oscar outright. Hard to imagine a film world without him.

In the Mood for Love

In the Mood for Love: Seen it a 100 times and could see it a 100 more! Esp if it's a stunning 35mm print like the one @UCLAFTVArchive had!

Comrades - Almost a Love Story

Comrades - Almost a Love Story: Aww cute! It's as if Wong Kar-Wai made a live-action Studio Ghibli film. A young Maggie Cheung is dynamite!

Broncos Upset By Chargers

Thanks a lot #Broncos! Now you've handed the insufferable #Patriots a return trip to the #SuperBowl. #Peyton deserves a #CmonMan! #NFL

The Armstrong Lie

The Armstrong Lie: Another good Gibney documentary. And d*mn if you don't find yourself getting swept up by Lance all over again, only to...

The Hunger Games - Catching Fire

The Hunger Games - Catching Fire: Woah! So much better than the first move. Malone is crazy/awesome, giver her own action franchise already!

Halladay Retires and Torre, La Russa and Cox Inducted Into HOF

You Know You're Too Old When: #Halladay retires & #Torre, #LaRussa & #Cox make it into #MLB #HOF. Touchstones of my early baseball fan days.

Crazy NFL Day!

Crazy #NFL! Hapless #Vikings/#Browns almost beat the insufferable #Ravens/#Patriots. @AntonioBrown84 almost pulled off a #Steelers miracle!

RIP Nelson Mandela

RIP Nelson Mandela . I'll never forget when they let us out of school to watch his release on TV. The whole world changed. #Madiba

Nebraska

Nebraska: One of Payne's better efforts. Lovely, stark B&W cinematography. Dern is as good as advertised but Squibb & McEwan steal the film.

Out of the Furnace

Out of the Furnace: Nice try at 70s-era filmmaking. Great cast led by Bale, Harrelson & Affleck (the other one). DP Takayanagi is brilliant!

RIP Paul Walker

RIP Paul Walker. Still shocked by the news. Always liked him. Gone way, way too soon.

Siddhartha Vaidyanathan on Sachin Tendulkar

Sure @sidvee overwrites sometimes but his nostalgic piece on #Sachin was a good one. Great memories esp the TV shows! http://t.co/8DiRyASE55

The Broken Circle Breakdown

The Broken Circle Breakdown: Whew! Talk about an emotional roller coaster! Uneven but engrossing. Great perfs by Heldenbergh & esp Baetens.

Brady Beats Manning (Again!)

I love #Federer (#GOAT) and #Peyton...but they always lose to #Nadal & #Brady in the big game. G*dd*mnit! Awful loss for #Broncos! @SNFonNBC

Calder and Abstraction

Calder and Abstraction: Beautifully put together by @LACMA & Gehry(?!). Up close you really see the engineering & art in harmony. Stunning!

Dan Rather ESPN OTL JFK Special

Great stuff from @OTLonESPN about #JFK The great @DanRatherReport should really be on @CBSNews talking about that day http://t.co/4hQ5nLQOQk

Inside Llewyn Davis

Inside Llewyn Davis: Once again a "smaller" Coen Brothers shines unexpectedly. Sad, funny & poignant as only they can do. Isaac, who knew?!

Her

Her: I appreciate that Jonze is growing up, but sometimes I wish he would go back to his younger Kaufman-esque self. Johansson is great!

The Great Beauty

The Great Beauty: Like the camerawork by DP Bigazzi the film is melancholy, languid & hearbreakingly beautiful. Brava Sorrentino & Servillo!

Sachin Tendulkar Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #Sachin #Tendulkar retires. According to @BCCI, the universe, as we know it, has ended. #ThankYouSachin

Dario Franchitti Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: Dario #Franchitti retires. Erstwhile Mr. Ashley Judd seemed like a nice guy. Sad to see him go due to a crash.

Sachin Tendulkar Final Batting Innings

Wow! Has G*d (aka #Sachin #Tendulkar) played his final innings (nice 74!)? @BCCI is begging #WestIndies to make it to 2nd innings. #IndvWI
