My exploration of Marty’s compulsive dishonesty and grifter tendencies as compatible with the realities of staunchly authentic pariahs in a world that offers no shortcuts for assimilation or upward mobility.

KAT: "I don't know what it was but I just felt a calm and a peace that I don't know, had to be coming from the woman above

"I felt really confident…I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. This is something as a kid you always dream about…to be in the NBA Finals

"All day…weird feeling. I felt like a kid getting ready to play in my Saturday and Sunday AAU games

"In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands

"It was really fun. It was really comforting

"Game 1 of the NBA Finals you're told how the pressure's gonna be…

"I don't know, it felt like a certain presence was here that was very comforting and very loving and I felt like I could have fun out here––in Game 1 of the NBA Finals…"

Shaq: Yes. Rest in peace to your beautiful mother"

Kinda funny that I always tell people that they have to get through the first 5 episodes before it gets good

[The Cinéprism @TheCineprism]

8 years ago today, 'SUCCESSION' premiered on HBO.

[Cinematic Underdogs @CinematicUnder]

Forget the announcer — that is some sloppy hockey. I love this era but boy oh boy has the sport evolved

[Shukri Wrights @SWrights975]

I’m not sorry for my harsh opinion on this, but Sean McDonough FAILED to live up to the moment in the STANLEY CUP FINALS!
25 seconds in, no energy, no awareness to get back into the PBP, just horrible.
What made Gary Thorne so good was his ability to quickly pivot in the moment especially in a playoff game and meet the moment

[Auteur House @auteurhouse]

Quentin Tarantino recently told Sight and Sound magazine that he considers the current decade the worst period for cinema he has ever experienced.

The director said that many contemporary films leave him with a sense of "contempt" for the medium and admitted that he has lately found greater pleasure in reading books than watching movies. Here is his full statement:

“I loved going to the movies. These days, however, the concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity. Which is fair enough, because by comparison the movies of the last six years make the ‘80s seem like the ‘30s. I’ve seen movies I’ve liked since then — “West Side Story (2021); “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 & 2,” a few others, but nothing that really held me in its grip, and swept me away fo to the magical land of enjoyment that I used to visit and was the reason why I loved movies above all artforms. These days I’d rather read a book. However, a new movie has now come out that did grab me and held me for its entire duration: Joe Carnahan’s “The RIP,” starring the dynamic duo of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.”

One of the wildest stats in sports:

This is the 46TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON in which a former teammate of Jaromir Jagr has appeared in the Stanley Cup Final.

This year, it's Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson, who played with Jágr in Calgary in 2017-18.

There are some goals where the commentators and the camera need to be solely focused on the assist, because it outshines the goal.

This is one of those goals.

[Cinematic Underdogs @CinematicUnder]

I’ve been trying to say this to anyone who will listen. I watch a lot more series than movies these days. Most lack true cinematic scale. They’re good but they get entrenched in dialogue shit reverse shot tedium. This season of Euphoria was grand in its cinematic scale and scope.

[IndieWire @IndieWire]

“Euphoria” Production Designer François Audouy discusses how the new season embraces a more cinematic scale, allowing the world around Rue and the other characters to become part of the storytelling itself.

All of IndieWire’s TV Craft Roundtables premiere June 11 on @PBSSoCal

[Cinematic Underdogs @CinematicUnder]

Hate all you want, that Euphoria finale was cinematic af

Has anyone in LA ever been to this shop?

It has a 1.9 star review on Yelp.
The hundreds of bad reviews talk about the owners being impatient, berating customers for browsing; even hurling insults at potential buyers for their lack of music knowledge. The occasional good reviews all say they came in
for specific purchases, the owner told them the same story about his collection and then they leave.

I went a few years ago randomly after walking by, I ended up with a record but it was a pretty brutal experience honestly.

He just sounds like a genuinely silly overconfident bro. That’s kind of his onscreen persona. It all checks out.

[Jim Vejvoda @JimVejvoda]

I interviewed Miles Teller and Jai Courtney for one of the Divergent movies (‘memba them?) and asked them “What’s the next big thing you have coming up?” To which Teller immediately replied, “My dick!”

[Cinematic Underdogs @CinematicUnder]

So many people willing to defend a stupid play is a good thing. Keeps the bonus bet system running smoothly and intact

[John Hyslop @sloprules]

Hot take. People can do whatever they want with $10K bonus bets that are given to them for free. I'm all for turning them into real money. I think that is a good idea.

[Cinematic Underdogs @CinematicUnder]

Crazy. Looked at this an inning before it hit.

[BIG_pickspete @pickslikepete]

Fell asleep before i could even check the slip last night 😭💀

Just woke up nervous as hell to look at it 🤯

Do i open this ticket… or back sleeping; don’t wanna be disappointed
