KKR Pulls Off Fantastic Win vs SRH 2019 IPL

Fantastic win for #KKR thanks to the always-entertaining #AndreRussell(49off*19* 😱🏏💪!)! Good stuff, too, from #NitishRana & #PiyushChawla

PS. Gawd, #DavidWarner's back, isn't he?😐

Upgrade

#UPGRADEmovie 

Good, clean nasty-B-movie-sci-fi-horror-action fun. Nice job world-building on a limited budget. Loved the "STEM" camera-moves & music. Maiden has a hoot with his HAL 9000-homaging VO-work. That ending - 😳👍👏🙌!

Duke Escapes UCF in Amazing Match 2019 March Madness

Whew! Tremendous basu! bracket-saving back-and-to-the-left win for #Duke thanks to the awesome #Zion & tenacious #RJBarrett!

But gotta feel terrible for that amazing kid #TackoFall.😩

PS. #AubreyDawkins😳👍🙌

Federer Escapes with Round 2 Win 2019 Miami Open

Whew! Give the old #GOAT credit, still willing to gut out an early round win immediately following a tough finals loss...even if it's murder on this fan's nervous system 😬

Good win for #Federer over plucky #Albot but #Krajinovic's gonna be a tough out next😰

#MiamiOpen #tennis

Monsters and Men

#MonstersAndMen

Very moving, well made look at the kind of story that all-too-often dominates the headlines. Assured debut by young Green, the kid has serious chops. Sprawling cast is on point, esp the leads JDW, AR, KHJ. Exceptional work by camera operator & composer Bowers.

Ichiro Suzuki Retires

You Know You're #TooOld When: #IchiroSuzuki Retires

It feels like yesterday when #Ichiro took #MLB by storm, winning #ROTY & #MVP. Blink of an eye...another 3K hits to the #HOF!

PS. Short of winning it all in your final at-bat, the best way to call it quits, no?

#ThanksIchiro

Happy Holi 2019

Happy #Holi everyone! Please colour responsibly! 😂

Afghanistan's Amazing Historic Maiden Test Win Over Ireland

Amazing! #AFG's tenacious cricket rise is one of the greatest feel-good sports stories. Kudos for their first Test win (in #DehraDun👌!).

Kudos to #IRE for their continuing efforts.

Great read (as always) by the great #SidharthMonga:

Kevin Feige and the Disney-Fox Deal

With #Disney-#Fox deal #BobIger solidifies Media CEO HOF...

...but this was all part of the #KevinFeige longgame, no? #XMen join the #MCU "w/" #SpiderMan just as #Avengers end Phase 1(?🤷‍♀️). Biggest impact on movies in post-#Spielberg era!

It's #Feige's U, we just exist in it!👍

RIP Dick Dale

RIP #DickDale

Got to know of him because of #Misirlou from #PulpFiction, which was just an entry into a lifetime of awesomely catchy music. Very, very lucky to have seen him play live once, what a treat!

Andreescu Wins in Sensational Fashion 👏 2019 Indian Wells

Real story at #TennisParadise was a Cinderella one for the ages (hello #MarchMadness!):

#Andreescu! 18yo WC boldly wins the whole shebang! We saw #NaomiOsaka make her star-is-born  run last year, this kid's next🤩!

PS. #Kerber, so awesome,  never gives up!

#BNPPO19 #BibiRising

Federer Loses to Thiem in Heartbreaking Fashion 🥺 2019 Indian Wells

#TennisParadise Sigh😰

Still, when #Thiem starts *blasting* 1HBH winners from 50' behind the baseline then you just have to salute an exceptional kid!

#GOAT kudos for fighting to bitter end👏👍

PS 2018 I jinxed #Federer by watching finals live, 2019 by not. 2020?🤔😇

#BNPPO19

Federer / Nadal / Djokovic Tennis Paradise 2019 Indian Wells

#Federer + #Nadal + #Djokovic = #TennisParadise!🎾😍

#GOAT beats nice-kid #Hurkacz

#Rafa beats awesome-force💪 #Khachanov

#Nole & hilarious #Fognini!

#AngeliqueKerber with her awesomely-sui-generis style.

But 18(!)yo WC #BiancaAndreescu stole the show! The next #NaomiOsaka?!

Transit

#Transit

Oh, Petzold, you've done it again! One of the year's very best! Astonishing, mindbending worldbuilding (at such a low budget!) that builds inexorably to its emotionally shattering climax. Incredible work by prod design & cast, esp submlime lead, Rogowski. Unforgettable!

Nuggets Beat Mavericks in Amazing Finish!

Yo! Forget #Warriors-#Rockets, maybe the Western Conference Finals should be #Jokic-#Doncic (with a dash of #Dirk), er, I mean #Nuggets-#Mavericks! 

Best #NBA match of the year?! 

Blade (1998)

#Blade (1998)

Criminally-underappreciated CBM. Remains one of the most awesome-st, bad-a**-est, R-rated-est, best-est, influential-est OG superhero movies this side of Burton/Donner, ever! #WesleySnipes, Kristofferson, Dorff, awesome. Blood Rave, Good L*rd, still terrifying😱! 

Federer Beats Edmund 2019 Indian Wells

Whew! #Federer overcomes quick turnaround & tricky #KyleEdmund to move through. Before we get too comfy, the #GOAT faces a, ahem, tall order in #Hurkacz next!

PS. Bad luck for #NaomiOsaka but #Bencic is on a comeback tear!

It's all becoming a bit too nervy now...🎾😬

#BNPPO19

Captain Marvel

#CaptainMarvel

Good, clean #MCU (#Marvel Corporate Universe) fun. Don't believe all those negative movie reviewers/online trolls (sometimes hard to tell the difference?😇), it's a blast. #SamJackson/Mendelsohn playing against type, Brie's winning half-smile...& #Goose😻😸😺😹! 

Federer Superb Win Against Wawrinka 2019 Indian Wells

Manohman... #Federer in *full* #GOAT-flight is a wondrous sight to behold, no? He came out knowing he couldn't take any chances with best bud #Stanimal. Glad it was quick, things only get harder now...😬

#BNPPO19 #IndianWells

🎾💪👍👏🤩👌👊✊

Lackawanna Blues (Center Theatre Group)

#LackawannaBlues (@CTGLA)

Absolutely fantastic! I would call RSH a quintuple-threat (dir/writ/prod/act/harmonica)…but he plays 20+ characters in this one/many-(wo)man show, sooo that'd make him…simply amazing! One of the most moving theatrical experiences I've ever had!😅😭👏

War and Peace (Voyna i mir) (1966)

#WarAndPeace (#VoynaIMir) (1966)

The epic-est *epic* of them all! Melodrama+war-is-h*ll/assault-on-the-senses-madness+philosophical ruminations+mesmeric 7hr+(yes, SEVEN hours) RT & then you might just begin to scratch the surface of the most epic cinematic experience, ever!😮👏

Federer / Venus / Shikhar / Liverpool Great Performances

PS. In happier news #GOAT's back at  #TennisParadise! #Federer wins 1&5(!😬) to set up #Stanimal epic!

PPS. #Venus's latest amazing comeback!!🙌

PPPS. #Shikhar's "comeback" (143off115)!💪. #RohitSharma's 95off92!!

PPPPS. #LFC thrashes #Burnley!!😇

Antonio Brown Has Left the Steelers!!! 🚨🚨🚨😯😦😧😮😲😵

Oh no! Say it ain't so #AB!! TBH is devastated!😭

#AntonioBrown exchanged a cool $30M for "legacy" & given how nebulous & ever-shifting that concept is, which one of us wouldn't make that same deal?!

Well #JuJu, #Steelers Nation turns its lonely, post-#KillerBs eyes to you...🥺

RIP Jan Michael Vincent

RIP #JanMichaelVincent

Oh man, I loved him on #Airwolf. Later on discovered his film roles. He had an intense, dangerously-cool charisma/good looks that should have been put to much better use. Sad to hear the last years weren't kind. At least he achieved celluloid immortality.

Atlanta: Robbin’ Season (FX)

#AtlantaFX

Suprassed the lofty heights of S1. CG, BTH, LS, ZB, incredible! #TeddyPerkins, terrifying (esp with recent events). Great scene-stealin' from KW & GB, but that Barbershop ep just about killed me! I haven't laughed that hard in forever. Take a bow @robertpowell3!🤣👏🙌

Reign of Fire (2002)

#ReignOfFire (2002)

Awe-bl**dy-some kick-a** actioner about a powerfully-muscled larger-than-life scenery-chewing beast laying waste to Britain…& the dragon's cool too🤣! Bale, Butler, dir, DP, music, prod design, VFX🙌, but true #McConaissance began here with #VanZan🐲🔥💪😲!!

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

#HowToTrainYourDragon: The Hidden World

Worthy capper to the underappreciated trilogy, & I'm a sucker for a kid-&-[blank] movies. Good thing they put the postcredits sequence in the main movie, I'm not sure my allergies could've handled the "end"😭PS FMA didn't come to play!😲👍

RIP Luke Perry

RIP #LukePerry

Look, my sister had 90210 on all the time. But, beyond his iconic role, Perry had this lowkey cool charisma that went underrated. He was really good in #8Seconds (loved that movie!). Just when it looked like the second half was taking off...gone way too soon, sigh

Lifeboat (2018)

#Lifeboat

The most affecting of the #Oscars doc shorts, & one of the best movies of 2018, no matter the format. Just when you think they're building up to that quasi-hopeful advert-esque ending...bam, they show you the grim gravity of what's going on.

RIP Dick Miller

RIP #DickMiller

Another classic I-love-that-guy character actor, and man, I *loved* that guy. So many movies, so many directors, so many genres, but I always liked him in his Gremlins world-weary-exasperated-gruff-mentor-with-a-heart-of-gold mode. 

#WalterPaisley forever!

Apollo 11

#Apollo11

Awe/Inspiring, mindblowing, earthshaking! Kudos to archivist Rooney, dir+ed Miller, Morton, Milano for the tension/humour/joy even though we know how it all turns out! Please see it on the biggest screen possible! One of the year's best! PS. 65mm, SK would be proud😇

Kyrgios Wins Acapulco Tournament in Spectacular Fashion!

What the what now?! #Kyrgios, yup, Nick bl**dy Kyrgios completes his run-for-the-ages and wins Acapulco! Can you imagine what a sports story it'd be if he could do this consistently?! 🎾😂😜😳😱💥

PS. The bromance with #Zverev is real and spectacular!🤩

#RF100 Federer Wins His 100th(!) Title!

Soooo, a "century" for #Federer😄!!!!

Relentlessly moving forward, superb serving, crushing 1HBHs...looks like the #GOAT had bl**dy revenge on his mind against awesome kid #Tsitsipas! 

#RF100 finally! 

🎾 🎉 🎊 💥 👌👏👍

PS. Meanwhile, #Kyrgios🤩💪

RIP André Previn

RIP #AndrePrevin

Musical renaissance man (10! Grammys). Unfortunately, I only know him from his film work (4! Oscars) from some of my favourite movies: Gigi, Elmer Gantry, My Fair Lady, Porgy & Bess, Bad Day at Black Rock , The Fortune Cookie, Paint Your Wagon(!) etc. True giant

Federer Wins Semi-Finals 2019 Dubai

Well, helloooo #GOAT! #Federer takes no chances in dispatching kid #Coric. Good thing too, he's gonna need *all* his effort against loose-limbed firecracker #Tsitsipas, who had his own epic LLF showdown with #LaMonf!🎾💥💪😲👏

PS.  #Kyrgios-#Stanimal!🙌

 

True Detective: Season 3 (HBO)

#TrueDetective

Look, the plot mechanics are beside the point, but man, are the rueful, moody, memory-atmospherics on point. Ali's just fantastic, dude's an inevitable EGOT. But, gotta say, #StephenDorff steals the whole dang thing! I'm so here for the #Dorffaissance!👏👍🙌
