Got up ready to smash this 5K walking race and did so. 1st in age group, 9th among all men, 14th overall. 12:57 per mile average. Next stop, the Columbus half marathon. (Goal there is to beat my 2:58:57 time from last year.)

You could argue something like DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER could be made about any artist and their fans. Nevertheless, with Oasis at the center it is weirdly cathartic (at least if you like the band). I had to laugh how much short shrift the U.S. gets in the film, though.

What I have not seen in the TIFF coverage is if they have a cringey 9/11 trailer like they did for the 10th anniversary.

If it were 20 years ago, it seems like a Disney sports film about Vozhina and/or this Cape Verde team would be a lock, regardless of how this game turns out.

Pretty wild that the cultural impact of BACKROOMS has led to how VAR reviews in the World Cup show offsides.

I haven’t seen enough to know if it will last, but so far the Reds TV games being produced by MLB are an improvement vs. Fox Sports Net and then Bally Sports/Fan Duel. Technically cleaner and far fewer promo reads/gambling tie-ins.

Of the seven films I have seen so far at True/False, PHENOMENA is the best. A real visual dazzler paired well with music. Something worth seeing big with a great sound system.

Fantastic game but hate to see it come down to pass interference penalties and a questionable (to my eyes) interception call.

If you doubted if there is demand for the new AVATAR, I just checked the IMAX screen here, and every listed screening through January 14, the last date with posted times, shows as sold out.

RIP Udo Kier, who commanded me to ask him a question during the post-film Q&A for BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99 at TIFF in 2017. (I seem to recall him leading into it by saying I was sitting there in the Scotiabank IMAX theater like the king of Sheba.)

Started walking an hour+ per day every day a little more than a year ago. May be in the best shape I’ve ever been in, as shown by walking two Columbus marathon events this weekend: -5K in 38:30 (12:20 mile pace) -Half marathon in 2:58:57 (13:39 pace), plus entering live-action Super Mario World

Gotta wonder if whoever approved those MLB playoff hoodies that say “Built for Fall” considered how they might be read ironically in the event of any upsets.

It’s nice as a fan that the Reds made the postseason, even if they probably don’t belong. Ownership should not take this as a sign that the team is good enough. Pitching is pretty good, offense is the pits. Could steal a short series from the Dodgers or do what they did in 2020 and not score a run.

Mark Pfeiffer @markpfeiffer.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Hadn’t seen HARD-BOILED in a long time, caught it in the theater today, and kept thinking this is the greatest movie ever made. So much fun. Didn’t get to as many of the HK classics I wanted to see, but seeing this, THE KILLER, and A BETTER TOMORROW was cool.

Crossed off a cultural blind spot when I saw HAMILTON last night. I’d only heard two or three songs before—the first two, to my surprise—and knew generally what it was about. Nothing can live up to the hype this musical has had, but this is not the time to be a contrarian. It’s good!

Let’s see if I can witness a second Reds win in four days and in a different ballpark with them back at home vs. the Twins.

Mark Pfeiffer @markpfeiffer.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Beautiful day at Comerica Park to see the Reds stomp the Tigers. Only issue was the constant loud talkers behind me who were literally wrong about everything (pitchers hit in the NL, they don’t throw around the horn after a strikeout because of the pitch clock), etc. Remained a hero & kept quiet. 😂

Far exceeded my expectations walking my first 10K race. I mainly wanted to finish in less than 90 minutes, which I did with plenty of time to spare. Maybe finishing a half marathon this fall in less than 3 hours is possible.

Mark Pfeiffer @markpfeiffer.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Last night’s MLS game was the first I’ve been to in maybe a decade. Seemed completely transformed into what felt to me more like a European atmosphere. Also more fan-driven and more confident that those there were interested/didn’t need insistent check-ins to see if they’re entertained.

Hit 200 straight days of an hour or more of walking workouts. Signed up to walk a half marathon in October, as I found I’m well within the pace one needs to maintain and basically walked one a couple weekends ago.
