Review: Louis Howley was intrigued by the performances in HIM and depictions of obsessions around sports, and believes this one's worth more than one viewing, despite what he feels were pacing flaws that felt jarring #HIM #horror www.sliceofscifi.com/2025/09/19/r...

Farewell to a man who epitomizes the word “legend.” I could gush all day about my favorite of his films (SNEAKERS, THE HOT ROCK, SPY GAME, THE STING), but better tribute is to acknowledge that the entire landscape of modern film would be vastly different were it not for Robert Redford. RIP

"The masses will remember Robert Redford jumping off that cliff with Paul Newman, but it’s the work in Park City that may have had the greatest effect." @sonnybunch.bsky.social on the actor, star, and indie entrepreneur: www.thebulwark.com/p/robert-red...

My favorite Robert Redford acting trick is that he would clip off the end of a line the audience already knew the end of, pause as if thinking, then start the next line as if he was interrupting himself. It's why his acting feels so naturalistic. He feels improvised while not shitting on the script.

Peacock added Vampire Princess Miyu, but seems like the same 4 OVA episodes on Prime and Apple TV. Not complaining, but I've never seen the 26 episodes from the TV series end up on streaming. I have them on DVD (used to have them on laserdisc), but sometimes you don't wanna break out the discs 🤣

Bohemian Rhapsody, as sung in isiZulu by the Ndlovu Youth Choir. Someone took Freddie Mercury's directive to heart, and nailed it! Not sure how this found it's way through the algorithm to land in my doom scroll, but I'm giddy it did! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gblj...

Seranthony Dominguez traded from Orioles to Blue Jays in between games of their doubleheader is amusing. I'd love to know how they got his new uniform so fast. What cracked me up was him striking out Cowser on splitters. What else was he gonna throw you? 😂 www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

As someone who actively roots for the Orioles, the Mets, and whoever is playing the Yankees, I can appreciate this stance 🤣 And having lived in Philly for a decade back in the day, I have been known to root for them if they make the NLCS or WS. #baseball
