RIP Bobby Freeman

RIP #BobbyFreeman. "Do You Wanna Dance" was one of my *favorite* songs growing up. What a lovely voice. http://ow.ly/74Zb3090Mhr

Trainspotting Oral History

Brilliant #Trainspotting oral history by the too-young-to-remember @alexritman. 90s were the *best* for Indie film! http://ow.ly/14EO308SKua

Land of Mine

#LandOfMine: Stunning, nerve-racking piece of superior craftsmanship. Raises many uncomfortable questions. Gut-wrenching perfs esp the kids.

13TH

#13TH: Expertly-made, eye-opening documentary that goes beyond the headlines. Compelling film from the always interesting DuVernay.

NFL HOF Voters As Bad As MLB

@jaydimes You're right. These guys's moral relativism is becoming worse than #BBWA. #Pudge gets into #MLB #HOF but not #BarryBonds/#Clemens.

Terrell Owens is Worthy of the HOF

@jaydimes In every universe known to man #TerrellOwens is a #HOF-er...even if he acted up. He lit it up in #SuperBowl ...with a broken foot!

Terrell Owens Doesn't Make It Into NFL HOF Again

Happy for #LaDainian,

#JasonTaylor & esp #TD for #NFL #HOF. But as much as I love his backstory #KurtWarner doesn't deserve it before #TO.

Dark Night

#DarkNight: Sensational, sobering & incredibly thought-provoking from director Sutton & his talented cast. One of the best movies of 2016!

Split

#Split: Say what you will, Shyamalan knows how to elevate the heck out of a B-movie. McAvoy is mind-bending (um, *literally*?! Yikes!)!

The most awe-inspiring dynamic duo: #GordonGreenidge & #DesmondHaynes. Great rollicking interview by @EdKempAOC: http://ow.ly/aOuw308qQqk

#AusOpen! #Federer's #GOAT win vs #Nishikori! (Poor) Sir #AndyMurray out to (other) #Zverev! #Kerber upset by flamethrower #Coco #Vandeweghe

Elle

#Elle: Yikes! Most polarising movie of the year?! It's as if Haneke & Almodovar had a Verhoeven baby! Huppert is deserving of *every* award!

Toni Erdmann

#ToniErdmann: Fantastic deadpan existential German comedy (is there any other kind?) One of the year's very best! That Birthday Party..woah!

RIP Carrie Fisher

RIP #CarrieFisher. Yes, like everyone else I discovered as Princess Leia, but she was so good in everything she did. This is so sad.

Silence

#Silence: At first I was disappointed...then I realised this wasn't Endo's Silence, but (most definitively) Scorsese's. Quite unforgettable!

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays 2016

#MerryChristmas World...I mean #HappyHolidays! :-)

20th Century Women

Roger Federer NYT Interview

Dude @christophclarey you gave me a heart attack with that headline: "...The End"?! Excellent #Federer interview! http://ow.ly/EKml307j2pq

Julieta

#Julieta: Minor key Almodovar is still a wonder to behold. Moving, Sirk-ian mediation on grief, guilt, & the things that (un)bind families.

India Thrashes England in Home Test Series 2016

(Poor) #ENG, playing #IND at home has become like playing #WestIndies & #AUS at their height, esp w/ #Virat & (stat king) #RAshwin! #INDvENG

Clive Lloyd Interview

In my house growing up #CliveLloyd was the *original* #CaptainFantastic! :-) Fantastic interview by @ListerProd: http://ow.ly/Z0DN307d4ZL

Neruda

#Neruda: A meta-biopic that kinda demystifies, deconstructs and deifies the legend at the same time…so another #Larrain? :-) Cast is aces.

RIP Craig Sager

RIP #CraigSager. Essential to my life as an NBA fan. Made it all look like such fun. Very sad given that we thought he was going to make it.

RIP Alan Thicke

RIP #AlanThicke. Caught snippets of him on Growing Pain, um growing up. He was always tongue-in-cheek great in everything else he did. Sad.

The Handmaiden

#TheHandmaiden: Gonzo De Palma-esque Mills & Boon, ie Chan-wook Park! Luridly entertaining. Stellar perfs. Oscar-worthy costume/prod design.

Steelers Beat the Bills

It's a good thing I took #LeVeon with the first pick in my draft! PS. Good thing the #Steelers have him too! ;-) Great win today. #HereWeGo 

Liverpool Bad Draw vs. West Ham United

A draw-that-feels-like-a-loss for #LFC vs relegation-worthy #WHU. Was that awful #Bournemouth loss the beginning of the end? #Liverpool #EPL

RIP John Glenn

RIP #JohnGlenn. Always heard about him & Yuri Gagarin growing up. Didn't realize that the senator & astronaut were the same person! Legend.

Adoree' Jackson Wins Jim Thorpe Award

#NocturnalAnimals: Tremendous Wong-Kar-Wai-Meets-Kieslowski-Meets-Almodovar-Meets-Lynch romantic-melodrama-film-noir! Tom Ford does it again

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

#FantasticBeasts: Perhaps not quite the powerful allegory for multiculturalism/inclusion critics would have you believe but still pretty fun

RIP Andrew Sachs

RIP #AndrewSachs. Loved him in #FawltyTowers (no way it's possible today) & "Clanger." So effortlessly funny & endearing. Loved that guy!

Nico Rosberg Retires

You Know You're Too Old When: #Nico #Rosberg Retires(?!). Wasn't his biggest fan but feel bad that #LewisHamilton drove him out in his prime

Jackie

#Jackie: AKA Natalie Portman's Oscar reel. Entertainingly show-offy film designed for maximum awards-season impact. Mica Levi's score wow!!!

RIP Joe McKnight

RIP #JoeMcKnight. He was great at USC and would have had a good NFL career with proper coaching. Gone way too soon at 28. Very sad.

R Ashwin Profile

Great #RAshwin profile by @the_kk. If India only plays home tests he should become the greatest cricketer ever. http://ow.ly/rFs0306Isvu
