What a great bl**dy series of wins for young #Tiafoe: #DelPo, #HyeonChung, #Shapovalov, #DelrayBeach (ie the whole d*mn thing!). Just the shot in the arm #tennis could use in the post-#Federer world (that hopefully is quite a ways away!). #ATP
The often humorous adventures of a roguish anti-hero of low social degree living by his wits in a corrupt society

Ester Ledecka Double-Gold / US Curling Gold
So, I know nothing about parallel giant slalom #snowboarding or Super-G #alpineskiing but that #EsterLedecka double's gotta be up in #CarlLewis-territory, right? PS. I guess we're all #TeamShuster now! #miracurl #curling #PyeongChang2018 #Olympics

The Party
#TheParty: It's good to have the great #SallyPotter back, eh? Entertaining screwball-existential-tragicomedy with a fun little #Shyamalan-esque(?!) twist ending. *Superb* cast - Murphy & KST great, but Clarkson steals the show with her hysterically brittle tartness.

Newly-Minted No. 1 Federer Gets Tough Win
Uh-oh...#Federer not quite in #GOAT-form vs #Seppi, but I'm guessing he wasn't gonna get beat again. Next up: shotmaking dream vs #BabyFed. PS. Poor #Goffin, kid always battles hard, but bad luck again. #abnamrowtt

Nathan Chen Bounces Back / Ledecka Shocks the Word
I know nothing about #figureskating but that the poor kid #NathanChen skated his heart out. Man, that #Yuzuru is a messianic figure, huh?! PS #ShomaUno!
I know nothing about #SuperG but from 26/32 to Gold in a sport you don't normally play?! #Ledecka!š

Federer Quest for No. 1: The Quest is Complete!!!!
Un-bl**dy-believable! Apparently, the (Old) #GOAT's still got it! #Federer comes through tough match vs #Haase to become the oldest No.1! A record that will stand...until #Serena gets back & #Rafa breaks it in 5 yrs. Until then, let's just marvel! #peRFect! #RF!
Loveless (Nelyubov)
#Loveless: Whew! Quite possibly the best movie of the year, heck of *any* year! Heart/gut/soul-wrenching. Brilliant stuff from the DP, composer, & director Zvyagnitsev. Raw, lived-in perfs by entire cast, esp the two leads. And the kid Novikov completely breaks your heart! š³

Federer Quest for No. 1: Second Match Win
Whew! #Federer needed every bit of that #GOAT magic to get by always-plucky #Kohlschreiber! He'll need more of that against the stylish #Haase. Man this Quest for No. 1 sure is nerve-racking! š³š±š¾ #abnamrowtt
Liverpool Dazzles in First Leg vs Porto
Mo' #Mane No Problems, eh? š Esp when you have #MoSalah & #Firmino as your backing band. #LFC *hammers* #Porto. Hopefully that bodes well for #Klopp's boys in the #UCL. #Liverpool

India Wins ODI Series vs South Africa
What a tremendous win for #IND! Give #Virat credit for marshaling his boys after (another Away) Test series disappointment. PS. Not sure what his Test future is but ltd-overs #Shikhar is the most fun! šŖ š #SAvIND

RIP Johann Johannsson
RIP #JohannJohannsson. Gone way too young. Could do every genre, and make every score uniquely memorable. Huge impact that will be felt for a long time to come. Seriously, that #Sicario motif has already been ripped off more times than I can count. Very sad and shocking. Sigh š

The Jordan Clarkson Cavaliers Era Begins ... as the D-Wade “Era” Sunsets
The insufferable #DannyAinge somewhere in his Bond-villain cave cackling at the dissolution of the #Cavs...if not for #JordanClarkson! š
PS. Not quite ride-or-die for #DWade & #LeBron… š... Wait, if Wade is going back to the #Heat does that mean LBJ can't be far behind?!š
India’s Inspirational Luger
Great bl**dy article about Manali boy #ShivaKeshavan (@100thofasec) - very inspiring (esp for those of us watching #Olympics from our couch whinging about stuff!)! #RedDemon #PyeongChang2018

#DarkestHour: AKA #GaryOldman's Feature-Length #Oscar Reel! Our long (inter)national nightmare is over, (future Sir) Gary is *definitely* winning (so...much...Acting!). And, boy, will Tsuji deserve his own...the makeup š! PS. KST's nom - wha happened?! PPS. ✌️

The Insult
#TheInsult: Hoo boy! Doueiri mashes up Farhadi & Perry Mason and turns the whole thing up to 11! Tense, entertaining, darkly humourous, sad, attention-grabbing movie that touches *all* the nerves. Superb crafstmanship & perfs, esp the haunting El Basha (making his film debut?!š)
