Sean Penn's characters really bookend this phenomenon perfectly.

The Pitt did a great job touching on the impact of ICE coming into an ER, the restrained animosity of the staff, the fleeing patients. It didn't do the TV thing of making the hot button issue what the ep was all about. It was another body blow for the staff to deal with while trying to save lives

I got about 3/4 of the way through writing a Conan Walker Texas Ranger Lever oral history a few years ago. Spoke with Mike Sweeney, Michael Koman, Bill Tull. Recording of Tull got destroyed (a huge loss - he was GREAT) and the project went away. Tried and failed to get Haley Joe to talk on it.

Chuck Norris' Sidekicks among the worst movies I made my dad take me to as a kid. Up there with assorted Pauley Shore movies and Ernest Goes To Jail. The most vocal reaction to any movie he took me to, though, was American Beauty. Did not appreciate the dive into suburban dysfunction like I did.

you ever think about how they made a wonderful little Fletch movie where Jon Hamm got to be a silly goose and then it got buried into streaming hell and mostly forgotten?

long as we're being hyperbolic can't buy gas without taking out a loan

On one hand, The Wild Horse Nine trailer makes it seem like Martin McDonagh is trying to hit a lot of the same notes that he did with In Bruges On the other hand...

If I don't have an official prediction market exchange partner, am I really alive?

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

feels like jazz on the autobahn

Beautiful, faithful version of Neil Young's "Old Man" by Beck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X98X...

Obviously, it is called an algorithm in honor of Al Gore, founder of the internet.

I got BYU, Michigan, Duke, and Houston in the Final Four with the Cougars winning out over the Dybantsa ballers. I believe in Flemings and Cenac.

You could rename this map "The Weirdest Sexual Positions in each U.S. State" and all of these names would still work.

I'm probably the 50th person to tag @briancgrubb.bsky.social with this, but when you're part of his army, you embrace the mission. Much like a robot vaccum controlled by the accidental roomba overlord.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us, during the Parks And Rec/Guardians era, that Chris Pratt might be fun and/or normal.

This is going to look like shit. It's a shame it'll be associated with his name.

This is a gut shot to me, someone who bet big on the metaverse and has been living goggles on/legs off for 2 years

The real winner of the WBC is me, because now I can cancel the FoxONE subscription I signed up for during the tournament.

Happy retirement, Mark DeRosa

I love it when the anointed team of destiny takes it in the teeth. Great WBC. GREAT title game.

Do they do ghost runner in the WBC?

look how much fun the world was before the invention of the iphone and twitter

shit, they really are going to go with Mr. Beast next time

I think about this scene a LOT in reference to the current administration.

An email I just got. DAMMIT, THEYRE TAKING OUR CULTURE!!

Farewell Team Italia. Thanks for having a handsome manager, beating team USA, and for the espresso and kissing. I will miss you.

let's pants him

"I do believe I'll have the honor OF TAKING CUBA!!"

So if Italy wins, the World Baseball Classic championship will be the US versus New Jersey

Who’s ready? 🤌

1. There Will Be Blood   2. Punch Drunk Love 3. Phantom Thread  4. Magnolia  5. Boogie Nights

I haven't seen this many media people marching forward in lockstep to downplay the accomplishments of a man since Mamdani hit the scene.

PITCH 8 is WELL BELOW THE ZONE YOU CAN NOT END AN IMPORTANT GAME LIKE THIS!!! ON THAT SHIT CALL!!!

Bullshit. That was ball four. #WBC

My only complaint is that they were uneven as hell when it came to who got played off and when. #oscars Aldo, Benicio was robbed and Coogler/Sinners over PTA/One Battle but I guess they were making up for past PTA omissions Overall a solid show I think

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.

At this point I kinda wanna see Timothee win just so he can spend his entire speech doubling down on his point about ballet and opera

Sean Penn couldn't be at the #Oscars. He is understandably weary of secondary locations.

I am excited to see the short film Oscar tiebreaking home run derby swing off #Oscars

Why frame it like this? Such a beautiful moment that had nothing to do with him.

I really hope they didn't bring in Matt Berry as announcer only to relegate him to whopper live reads. #Oscars

Really disrespectful for them to continue awarding Best Animated Short after Kobe won

The way Ed Harris looked at Amy Madigan when her name was read was one of the most beautiful things. Just sheer love and pride and trust and oh my god I’m already welling up.

That Sinner music tribute was jaw dropping.

Tremendous opening by Conan. As expected
