@DustBaker When so many of your games are played on the margins, one extra possession can make all the difference (see: Buffalo, NYJ, Washington, home vs Chicago, etc.)
@janusfilms And what would her Sight & Sound list have been? Thinking Death in Venice, Opening Night, Memoria, There Will Be Blood, and Amadeus (maybe too on the nose for her) make the cut.
2022 is having a Sunday night 20 min phone call w your dad to walk him through how to access #Yellowstone s5 (signing into his Spectrum to see his channel list) & #TulsaKing (setting up a Paramount+ for him & virtually activating it on his Roku from my apt in NYC)
@Metrograph four from the 70s that are very hard to find / virtually non-existent in the streaming world (envious of the @newbeverly Play It As it Lays screening over the summer !)
the audience response when a thought-provoking blockbuster comes along in an era where in-theater movies have become marked by instant gratification, unambiguous endings, and IP Easter eggs:
โNOPEโ is one of the worst movies Iโve seen in a long time.

@kimmikillzombie Heard this outside a Brooklyn theater last night: โI feel like the image of the viking has been co-opted by the alt-right, and this was an opportunity to comment on that, but instead it was just like โoooo cool, vikings!โ the whole time.โ So, I guess, do more, Eggers.
