I have never recoiled at anything harder than I recoiled at the first sight of Clive Davis in the Diane Warren doc.

YouTube served this scene up to me as a short with a demented Kanye West overlay, but the scene itself is just an insane collection of talent in one room at the same time. (Also one of my favorite Laura Linney scenes ever.) youtu.be/e2g4Wr81rz8?...

Getting to watch the Olympics on the CBC really hits when the Canadian ice dancing pair has the entire broadcast team broken down in tears.

"The twizzles just did not go their way" -- the Winter Olympics are so soothing even when disaster strikes.

Continuing our Tom Hanks miniseries w/ Philadelphia. A conversation about Hanks’ first Oscar, Denzel’s performance, Jonathan Demme’s direction, and how Hollywood approached AIDS stories in the early ’90s. @chrisvfeil.bsky.social  @joereid.bsky.social  @pmiscove.bsky.social  #Philadelphia #TomHanks

Okay NOW is coke uncool?

I can't stand the "I can't root for the US in the Olympics because of politics" thing. These people are on your side and they represent the best of us. Cheer them on.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Johnny and Tara dragging this Latvian skater to hell in the most gentle of tones. They’re not wrong!

Me getting increasingly obsessed with Olympic curling.

Make Charlize Theron do this one. bsky.app/profile/mike...

We take you now to Olympic action on the slopes high above the Austrain village of Chockenbates.

This week on @podcastlikeits The 1990s Patreon I continued our Tom Hanks 90s miniseries by talking Philadelphia with This Had Oscar Buzz hosts @joereid.bsky.social & @chrisvfeil.bsky.social We talk Tom’s first Oscar, Denzel, Demme, Springsteen and Hollywood’s depictions of AIDS.

Stefon Diggs really shining in garbage time.

Thank god for those two Josh Allen votes or else you'd have had the NFL MVP playing this poorly.

lol

the bushes were people 😂

Now truly what was that Elle Fanning Hellman's cameo for? Who benefits?

This Seattle defense is sexy as hell.

Real "shake harder, boy!" energy on this one. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ricky Martin looking fine as hell is how you do late-'90s nostalgia, by the way.

And now, to bring everybody right the hell back down to miserable earth, here's Mike Tyson talking about "obese, fudgy people" in an actual MAHA ad.

This is the most Olympic Opening Ceremony Super Bowl halftime show ever (deeply complimentary).

two super bowls in a row with drake getting slammed

I am, of course, happy that Jasmine Guy got paid.

There have been two unwatchable, low-scoring Super Bowls in the last dozen and both have involved the Patriots. We should not allow them to play in any more Super Bowls! (Yeah!) (He's right!)

Need the Affleck people in my life to defend that.

Brad Pitt looks... smooth in that Cliff Booth trailer. SmoothED.

Seattle Quarterback Sam Darnold is, of course, named after the characters of Sam, Dudley, and Arnold from the TV series DIFF'RENT STROKES, which ended its run 40 years ago this year. So you can imagine, winning this one is extra important for him.

YouTube has been relentless in spoiling the curling results in their video titles.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

I'm not going to yell at you for posting TV reviews on Letterboxd. I am going to lose a small amount of respect for you, quietly, almost imperceptibly.

MATE YOUR AN ABSOLUTE CUNT... AND A PROPER LEGEND www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

I don’t need more reasons to not be on Threads, but the absolutely insane way they talk about The Traitors sure would suffice.

Okay but why are the four Beatles movies not called The Appearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him + Him + Him + Him?

The Sabres are good again — I feel like I need a Montreal Canadiens fan in my life to talk shit to, or at least a Leafs fan whose suffering I can revel in.

JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

Sometimes the conversation turns to which of the “Sex and the City” characters knew Jeffrey Epstein and in what capacity and that’s just how it is.

All the stars are here: Brantley Gilbert, Brice Bradley, Gabby Babby, Bibb Glibsy, Slab Gabbert, Brice Bryce,

LA LA LAND (2016)

I got to design today’s Cinematrix! Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it: www.vulture.com/article/dail...

I had to go look up what this "Iron Lung" movie that's #2 in the box office was and now I wish I hadn't.

Re: the Melania making good money "for a documentary," this is a sign I'm gonna keep tapping. bsky.app/profile/tvmo...

Not the point of this (really good) sketch but Skarsgard is giving me a glimpse of Will Forte here, my highest compliment. youtu.be/-wQhY5CMMl4?...

The ol’ MRSA cliffhanger, I see.

So far, the Sundance docs I’ve watched have included clips from The Oprah Winfrey Show, Donahue, Morton Downey Jr., Jerry Springer, Regis and Kathie Lee, and The Jon Stewart Show.

Highlight of my career, probably

Wanting Candiace to do well on The Traitors and thinking Candiace made a bad move in how she cast her vote aren’t even two sides of the same coin, they’re the same side of the same coin.
