#Oscars

Earth Day 2021

In honour of #EarthDay, one time, we went hiking looking for #Tarantino's #OnceUponATimeInHollywood sets...only to get lost and ending up at the highest point off-trail just to see where we were!

🤣

#ParamountRanch #ParadiseRanch #AgouraHills #CA

KKR Lose Humdinger of a Match vs CSK 2021 IPL

Woah! For a second there it looked like worst #IPL defeat ever!, then greatest comeback ever!, then patented so-close-but...

#KKR season pretty much over but if #DreRuss & #Cummins throw their bats around like that, at least it'll be fun😀!

#CSK on top, G*d help us🙄

#KKRvCSK

Quo Vadis, Aida?

#QuoVadisAida

Shattering, unflinching, bloodboiling film that'll have your heart thumping out of your chest until bitter end…then epilogue will splinter it into million pieces. Cinematic triumph by #JasmilaZbanic aided by DP, edit, prod design & esp incredible #JasnaDjuricic!

The Father

#TheFather

Hype you've heard is true, acting is *extra*ordinary: Poots, Colman, &, of course, the one, the *only* #AnthonyHopkins! Quite a debut for young Zeller, playing reality close to his vest, helped by that drool-worthy flat from prod designer. Ending will knock you *flat*

Tsitsipas Beats Rublev to Win 2021 Monte Carlo Masters

Maybe not changing of the guard but definitely a disturbance in the #ClayCourt Force

Congrats to #Tsitsipas's 1st M1000 & #Rublev's remarkable run🤩

#SportsCenter ignored iconic #MonteCarlo to show some old guy winning rando golf tournament... Future of (US)#tennis(coverage)😬

Minari

#Minari

Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful! So achingly beautiful it breaks your d*mn heart! Superbly confident directing by #LeeIsaacChung, no easy cliches, just nuance, aided by edit & music. Cast, all *great* (no noms for Patton or esp #YeriHan?!) Perfect, heartmelting ending.

LFC Lose in QFs 2021 CL

😔

#LFC played their hearts out, and outplayed #RealMadrid but those chances just wouldn't fall😭

There's always next year, right? (Checks table😲) Right?!

PS. #TrentAA was amazing, why is that surprising to Twitter🤔?

PPS. #Zidane...still in futbol shape🤩

#LIVRMA #UCL

Sound of Metal

#SoundOfMetal

Good clean #Whiplash-meets-#ChildrenOfALesserGod Awards-Bait fun. Marvel at how precisely this was crafted for max Festival/Awards/#Oscars impact, very impressive. Always appreciate Riz's underacting-with-a-Capital-U-&-A But #PaulRaci well & truly steals the show🙌

KKR Crashes to Loss Against MI From Winning Position 2021 IPL

 

😇 🤨 😨 😱 😵 ☹️

The life of a Bengali cricket fan, sigh...

Hopefully with the likes of #Nitish, #Shubman, #BigDre #KKR will rise above this classic defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory loss to #MI Right?!😬

PS Tell me Trent's TM-ed #ThunderBoult😄

PPS #Chahar's 4 wkts😲

#KKRvMI

Kershaw Beats Scherzer

PS. #Kershaw outdueled the awesome #Scherzer...in one match *and* historically😼

In fact, if it weren't for #Kornheiser's PR-blitz, the #CyYoung count really shoulda been 4-2😇

#Dodgers #Nats

TIME

#TimeTheMovie

Extraordinarily moving documentary. Mesmeric editing rhythms pull you into the family's world so you acutely feel the individual impact of the often abstract, nebulous?, concept of the criminal justice system. Rich, the woman at the heart of it all, is remarkable.

ArcLight Cinemas Shutting Down 😲!!

Oh no, not the #ArcLight!!!

Sigh...

Maybe we can get #Netflix & #Amazon into a bidding war (that way the #CineramaDome can be saved🙏)🤔?

Matsuyama Wins 2021 Masters

Well done to #Hideki #Matsuyama for his there-by-the-grace-of-the-15th win👏!

Not that Japanese golf/sports(hello #Osaka/#Kajitani!) needed any more encouragement!

Great to see #Spieth trending in right dir. Bad luck #Schauffele😕

Where did #Zalatoris come from🤩

#TheMasters

Spieth Misses a Birdie 2021 Masters😲

KKR Beats SRH To Start Their 2021 IPL

This time I definitely had a rooting interest so it was a little too close for comfort😱!

Still, great start to #IPL2021 for #KKR thx to blitzkrieg from #Nitish & #Tripathi, key runs from #Karthik, wickets from #Prasidh👍

PS. TBH’s fave #Shubhman’s straight-bat 6😲!

#SRHvKKR

Encino Backyard

If my life were a photograph, I'd want it to be this, no? Man, what a backyard life this would be🧘‍♀️!

#Encino😲! I thought it was some boring place in the Valley, I didn't realise it was Mr. Moneybags...& land of infinite Karens🤑🙄!

#LosAngeles #CA

IPL 2021 Gets Off to a Rollicking Start Thanks to AB deVilliers!

🤩

I didn't have much rooting interest but that #MIvRCB was super-exciting!

What a day for #Harshal: 5-for & winning runs👍

But #ABdeVilliers, man, that guy...too much💪!

PS. Who's this #MarcoJansen kid?! 6'8"😲!

#IPL2021 #ABDV

Voyagers

#Voyagers

Good, clean #LordOfTheFlies YA poli-sci-fi fun. Expert craftsmanship: DP, music, drool-worthy prod design, &, of course, sound by #PaulHsu(🤩). The kids?, well they are certainly all right, esp charismatic villain Whitehead. PS. Will it really come to this😳?!

Barty and Hurkacz Win 2021 Miami Open

PS. Congrats to #Barty on her No1-solidifying win & #Hurkacz on his coming-of-age win(seen him, big game suprisingly more steady than flashy)👏

Bad luck to man-is-his-future-*bright* #Sinner & sigh-those-injuries-again #Andreescu

Now, the interminable clay swing😇

#MiamiOpen

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

#MaRaineysBlackBottom

Good, clean, sturdily-made stage-to-streaming-screen fun. Big fan of Santiago-Hudson(#LackawannaBlues!), and that awesome ensemble: Coyne, Domingo, Paige & esp Turman. But, man, Viola, powerhouse. And, of course, the legend that is #ChadwickBoseman😔

Jordan Spieth Duffs Approach Shot on Verge of Winning

Oh no...#Spieth!!!!!!!

Jordan Spieth in Position to Win Again on the PGA Tour (Finally)

UCLA Loses Heartbreaking Match to Gonzaga 2021 Final Four

Can't believe I'm gonna say this: bad luck #UCLA!

Those underdog kids played their hearts out but fair play to #Suggs, that's one of the greatest shots, ever!

TBH: This is so much more exciting than the NBA 😂

#GoBruins | #MarchMadness

Gonzaga Makes a Miraculous Game-Winning Three 2021 Final Four

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

#MarchMadness

UCLA Hits a Potentially Game-Saving Three 2021 Final Four

PS. Funny how the fouls don't get called the other way🙄

#MarchMadness

UCLA Gets Hosed by the Refs... Again 2021 Final Four

That was not a foul!!!

UCLA Gets Hosed By Refs 2021 Final Four

That was not a charge!!!!

Godzilla vs. Kong

#GodzillaVsKong

Good, clean monstermano-a-monstermano-meets-#IceAge-3-meets-#PacificRim fun. Henry & esp Hottle steal the show, but, c'mon, real show's the matchup we've been waiting 6yrs for! PS. Everywhere Russell's go destruction follows...maybe they're the real monsters🤔?!

Wrath of Man Trailer

O... M... B... G!!

#Statham in #GuyRitchie's Heat...

Can... not... wait!!

Plus #HoltMcCallany🤩!

RIP Bertrand Tavernier

RIP #BertrandTavernier

All-time great French director, and a wonderfully affable film historian. Sadly, I only caught his well-known work, wonderful, lived-in films, moving, thought-provoking without resorting to gimmicky directorial pyrotechnics. Can't wait to watch the rest...
