Oh hey, sorry, Jackie Robinson! You narrowly lost out to a homophobe who blew a lot of postseason games. And by "narrowly" I mean you didn't even get an honorable mention in the column.
Make sure to wish a librarian a happy Gerald Ford Trapped in The Penn Library Elevator Day.
Good night everyone. Enjoy The Both.
How did Kyler Murray think this photo was a good idea?
The reporting here has been excellent
Did you see Between the Temples? One of my favorite movies of 2024? Somewhat similar theme, different story. Outstanding performance from Carol Kane. It's on Netflix.
Good night everyone. Enjoy Fountains of Wayne.
I'm always fascinated with stories about how unlikely people connect. The Baltimorons is a sweet film by Jay Duplass about an improv comic (Michael Strassner) and a dentist (Liz Larsen ) who wind up spending Christmas Eve together.
Finally some good news in 2025.
Good night everyone. Enjoy Lucero.
The Big Ten Conference
It’s a conflict of interest. Full stop.
Wrote about the cult classic Sneakers a few years ago. RIP Robert Redford
Robert Redford also starred in Sneakers which predicted the dangers of the instant information age. Sneakers was way ahead of its time. #SetecAstronomy
“I thought we were gonna get television. The truth is, television is gonna get us.”
Robert Redford directed Quiz Show, one of the best films of the 90s. RIP
Good night everyone. Enjoy Lily Allen.
Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, has some very good scenes. You want to root for it. Unfortunately, it also has some unrealistic moments than lessens the impact. Another nice performance by June Squibb, tho.
Movie No. 300 in 2025.
Damn
Interesting…
At times, The Wrong Paris seems more ridiculous than Hot Frosty. It’s harmless entertainment with likable leads.
It’s amazing and disheartening how many people don’t understand basic journalism.
"aka Charlie Sheen" is an excellent documentary because it appears to be brutally honest. No Hollywood actor has more bats*** crazy stories than Sheen. The doc also has revealing moments from Denise Richards and Heidi Fleiss.
The Long Walk is a solid thriller but gets a little too monotonous for me. Guess that’s the point..?
Damn
Billable hours!
Dylan O’Brien: “We’re in the safe-decision era. If something is financially bankable and predictable in terms of an IP, then that’s way more likely to get a green light than something like Twinless where you can’t say for sure if an audience is going to go along for the ride."
Dylan O’Brien's performance in Twinless is worthy of an Oscars nomination.
Good night everyone. Enjoy The Be Good Tanyas.
😂
Never seen a film quite like Twinless, an unusual blend of touching and creepy. Dylan O'Brien is outstanding here. Kudos to James Sweeney, who also directed the terrific Straight Up (2019).
This is an astute point.
Ugh
This was shocking: The Tigers are also one of only three (out of 30) MLB teams that don’t offer paid maternity leave.
I expected Prince’s kitchen at Paisley Park to be bigger.
Good night everyone. Enjoy Jessica Lea Mayfield.
My next-door neighbor in Louisville is using a leaf blower at night. It’s almost 10. He might be a serial killer.
End of an error
Good night everyone. Enjoy The Features.
Never thought Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney were confused for each other but I guess it’s a thing…
Killing Mary Sue is an unsatisfying blend of political satire, dark comedy and an action flick. It’s annoyingly dumb.
I gave the win to Marchand. It’s not the reporter’s job to assign value to an interview subject based on an expectation of how they’ll answer. It’s the reporter’s job to ask the questions.
I have many, many questions for Cam Newton's stylist.
I have many, many questions.
The lawsuits are still active, and Lizzo continues to fight the allegations. Her legal team has filed multiple appeals to dismiss them to varying degrees of efficacy.
This is happening in America: When an Alaska Native group asked state law enforcement officials in June for a list of murders investigated by state police, the state said no.
Damn you Costco. It’s still summer!
For a guy who is smart, this is dumb.
Kat Hasty at Zanzabar in Louisville, KY was so much fun.
Welcome to one of the five best days on the sports calendar. Welcome to the start of the #NFL season.
Low Gap: rising stars from Kentucky.
Highest Handsome QBR in the league
Me, struggling to remember Cal Raleigh's nickname, taking a wild guess:
This is something a fake tough guy does.
Meanwhile, in Louisville, Ky. …
This is next-level pettiness. It’s also incredibly immature.
Sydney Sweeney also outstanding as Reality Winner in the 2023 film Reality.
Even the most hardcore Favre fan doesn’t believe him anymore.
Damn
Tiki Barber... not a fan of college football!
My expectations were low, but Healing Towers is a masterclass in bad acting.
Good night everyone. Enjoy Robyn.
Damn
Good night everyone. Enjoy The Greeting Committee.
More details on one of the best photos of 2025.
Dumb and dangerous
Never seen anything like this. You @sheavanhoy.bsky.social?
Marc Maron was among the first people to discover that the shaggy nature of the medium was an asset, capable of purging the artifice from celebrity interviews, resulting in an end product that simply feels realer than the typical junket stops.
Good night everyone. Enjoy M83.
Tuesday
There are so many weird and disturbing things in Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. It made me feel ill.
A live look at Bob Kraft
The food at Citi Field is terrific. So much better than Shea Stadium (RIP).
Sunday Funday
Me when Sweet Caroline plays
People seen on the streets of Manhattan today: *One guy punched another guy in the head for trying to steal his bicycle *Sad Texas fans *Sadder Alabama fans *Filmmaker Ron Howard (I think?) A full day in NYC.
David Bowie in The Prestige.
The good news: Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing is different from anything he's done before. The bad news: there's so much that makes no sense: a) A plot twist that's hard to believe b) A medical issue that's abandoned midway through c) Incredible leaps of logic
Damn
Robert Durst deserves a place on this list for The Jinx.
Damn
Had some thoughts on the excellent work by the Washington Post.
