Really not sure what we, as a society, did to get John Smoltz as a color commentator foisted on us every MLB playoff season.

I feel like the answer to the inevitable “How did Digger flop so hard?” question is “Don’t green-light such a difficult movie to market at a $125-160 million budget.”

That Thing You Do! at 30: A Film Defined by a Song that Should've Won Oscar Gold — Crooked Marquee
The cult favorite that marked Tom Hanks' directorial debut is best remembered for its eponymous song and beloved late songwriter, even if he missed out at winning the Oscar statuette.

I said two things about this song in my review of THAT THING YOU DO: 1. I've heard it so many times that I never want to hear it again 2. It BETTER win the Oscar, because it does what so many best song winners never do--it's essential to the damn movie!

I know I'm the first person to say it, but having watched the first three episodes of The Lowdown S1, I gotta say, this is a pretty entertaining TV show. That Ethan Hawke guy is a lot of fun!

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

If you'd told me in 2001 that the guy who played Coop in Wet Hot American Summer would go on to direct trashy melodramas (as well as the movie that netted a beloved actress her first Oscar), I'd have thought you were high.

I've seen a surprising amount of reviews, stories, etc. referring to Tom Cruise as unrecognizable in Digger. Surprising because...I dunno, I appreciate that the prosthetic work must be extensive, but it sure seems very obvious that it's Tom Cruise underneath the makeup.

“Billboard’s still a thing, huh?” is the only appropriate response to the froth-at-the-mouth anger that everyone in the world is not sufficiently respectful of some apparently popular country song per the Billboard charts.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.
