Ashley Judd’s glance toward Val Kilmer in HEAT (1995) lasts only a second, yet it says everything. One of the film’s most beautiful, quietly devastating moments.
Some are saying this is the most British story ever.
65-year-old Michael Hewitt left Leeds for the World Cup, flying through Barcelona.
Then he lost his phone, which had all his tickets, bookings, contacts, and travel info on it.
He couldn’t call anyone, didn’t know a single number by heart, and had basically no way to contact his family.
A search eventually went on for him, but Michael had no idea. He just continued his accidental holiday in Barcelona.
He was eventually found by an off-duty British police officer who spotted his Leeds United shirt in a pub and helped reunite him with his family.
His brother said Michael was “blissfully unaware” people were even looking for him.
Best story ever .He left England for USA to see #WorldCup but was a stop over in Spain . He LOST his phone in airport that had his plane and world cup tickets and just left airport . family thought he was missing in USA . Worried to death . he was found in a pub in Barcalona and said he been partying in spain for last 10 days LOL
A consistent theme from Jaylen’s comments tonight has been his connection to the city of Boston. It wasn’t just superficial. There are few players in the NBA who have invested so deeply into socioeconomic change in the way he has. He has gone way beyond giving money or even time. He took on the mission of evolving Boston and making it a more equitable place for minorities. So much of what he did in his new home served a bigger purpose. You could see it in how much time he dedicated to talking with kids when he put events together, or how he held meetings quietly behind closed doors with people in positions of power to advocate for policy change. Like, look at what he did with his extension signing at his Bridge program, or his sneaker unveiling at the museum of science that featured a panel on science education with Bill Nye. Him getting traded has a much bigger effect on the city than just losing a beloved player. I’ve been back in Boston this week and seeing so many people I know in the political and creative space be devastated by this trade because they valued him as much as a leader in the community as an athlete. And that’s why the character assassination stuff he called out on his stream was so prescient. I’ve seen him constantly put himself in rooms where it was clear his intent was to grow and to share, not to be the smartest person there. I remember when he spoke on the education system at MIT when he first got to Boston, struggled to get his presentation out cleanly, then kept improving and growing as a thought leader from there. From the beginning, he put himself out there trying to implement change in the community and he built a legacy few athletes have. It’s honestly the first thing I think of when I think about his time in Boston.
The pilot introduced New Directions. “Showmance” (Glee, 2009) was the episode that proved the series could juggle teenage melodrama, biting satire, and wall-to-wall pop covers without collapsing under its own ambition.
Big E says that Mustafa Ali sent him a Seinfeld LEGO set after his injury.
“Mustafa Ali, a lovely human being, he sent me a Seinfeld Lego set of Jerry’s apartment. But like, Seinfeld’s my favorite show. I hadn’t really played with Legos in so long, but the idea of sitting down in my neck brace, I’m home every day. I would be excited to wake up like, ‘Today, I’m going to work on this section of the apartment.’ It’s so much fun.”
