I got an advance copy of GTA VI and I gotta say, the immersion into Vice City is crazy. Right now I'm doing a mission where you have to get into a lengthy online argument defending the low attendance of Vice City's sports teams and whether Vice City lacks passion for sports as a market

part one of my AFL wrap-ups covers the weird outfield positioning experiment, which isn’t working but also was a bad idea from the outset www.nytimes.com/athletic/769...

MLB’s Arizona Fall League outfield alignment experiment is a misfire: Law (Gift Article)
MLB is experimenting with a new rule at one AFL park. Outfielders are restricted as to where they can line up before each pitch is thrown.

A more realistic version of CHARLIE'S ANGELS would have one of the angels starting to talk at the same time that Charlie is starting to talk and the angel saying, "You go ahead..." and Charlie saying, "No, I was just going to say...".

The newest Strong Songs episode, on Steely Dan’s “Peg,” is now live in the main feed. 🎶 This is a fascinating song, and it was very rewarding to get in there and see what makes it work. If you dig the ep, share it with a friend!

Strong Songs has covered Steely Dan songs from 1976’s The Royal Scam, 1980’s Gaucho, and even 2000’s Two Against Nature, but somehow 1977’s Aja has remained unaddressed… until now. On this episode, Ki...

The person I saw here on Bluesky who spoiled it isn't really a film person primarily so probably didn't know that everyone who saw it at Telluride/NYFF has been keeping it hush-hush. Again: Not *that* big of a deal, just kind of mildly irksome.

I guess it was inevitable that the surprise guest star in You Can See Everything would be spoiled once the film escaped the festival circuit. On the one hand: Whatever, I'm not really a spoiler-phobe. On the other hand... 1/2

You better believe I interviewed Romain Gavras. We talked about SACRIFICE, Chris Evans, ATHENA, music videos, the ending of ATHENA, his childhood, the legacy of ATHENA, his relationship with Chris Marker, and the criticisms of ATHENA... Here's a gift link. www.vulture.com/article/roma...

With Sacrifice, Romain Gavras balances the idealism of his upbringing with the urge to watch it all burn.

The second CUPERTINO episode really gets cooking, now that most of the premiere's set-up is out of the way. The legal stuff is snappier, the new recurring characters are fun/intriguing, and the scope of what Michael and Olivia are attempting becomes clearer. www.vulture.com/article/cupe...

BTW they're showing Tod Browning films all afternoon on TCM if all you've ever seen of Browning is Freaks, you should take this opportunity to dive in deeper. (If you've never seen Freaks, that's the last one of the day, at 6:45 eastern.)

If Russia was willing to live in peace with its neighbors, to give its own people a real democracy, to stop agitating, bribing, threatening, assassinating and urging division in other countries… the crazy thing is we could probably make life better for EVERYONE on this planet of ours.

I do this too. I hate it when a restaurant's website makes me start an order (or say where I live) before they'll show me their menu. Sometimes I just want to look at food in cities where I don't live! And I always want to see weigh my options before I go to a restaurant in cities I'm visiting.

Outstanding performances across the board in these first two episodes, from the returning cast and from newcomer Tommy Lee Jones. But Betty Gilpin is an early standout, playing a warped Nora Charles to Ethan Hawke's Nick. And Paul Schneider's turn is just sublime.

We never use our Amazon Echo except to glance at it in our kitchen to check the time, but we also didn’t pay for it, because Amazon was just giving them away, to promote Prime. That seems like the proper business model for these doohickeys.
