@decoyrobot It’s a well made movie but it really failed at the scariest part of the book, which is the last chapter when it gets into how much bigger this was than William Hale. Dozens more murders that can’t be logically tied to him.

@Bagodictionary I hate the idea of middlebrow being a derogatory thing. It’s the best brow.

@PlayStarting5 Why does yesterday’s game have Mehmet Okur starting over Rasheed Wallace???

@BaileyCarlin Why does yesterday’s game have Mehmet Okur starting over Rasheed Wallace???

@StevenCheah Any time you’re shocked by an NFL contract, wait for the guarantees. This is going to be $70M guaranteed at most.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@noahgittell @MattZeitlin It was the first one, and again I don’t think that’s a problem. I don’t think the people listening to Rewatchables would be listening to the type of film commentary you like if Rewatchables didn’t exist. They would just watch less movies.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@noahgittell @MattZeitlin Genuinely, why?

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@noahgittell @MattZeitlin Respectfully, I really do! Nobody gets hurt when somebody has a bad take about sports or movies and sometimes it’s fun.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@noahgittell @MattZeitlin Maybe it needed to be dumbed down. There was a lot more high brow film critique in 2015 than 1985 and nobody would argue movies were better in 2015.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@dbessner @noahgittell Idk what this means but movies are obviously more important right now than they were 5-10 years ago and I like that

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@ScottLamb452942 @showedmecolors Scott the point is that we were 10 years old living in New York or Boston

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@Bernstein Are there any movies in the past 10 years you’d put in the pantheon of their category? I think in some ways, nothing can be in the pantheon until it’s stood the test of some time.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@MiserableMet I think the real answer is that it’s been 7 games and he will probably regress substantially

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@born6350 @MeekPhill_ The Nimmo stuff is really rose-colored glasses to me. In at bats where the game was within 1 run in the last 3 innings, he had a .331 OPS. Impossibly bad in the biggest spots.

@klaytheist11 I hate the phrase “easily could’ve”. What does it really mean.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@spherection He’s writing a song for gay marriage like it’s not allowed. It’s allowed now.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@foodandphotos8 @mattyglesias Sure, there some horseshoe theory there. If you go to the median/base of both I think what I said is true.

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@foodandphotos8 @mattyglesias I don’t agree

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@mattyglesias Liberalism is aspirational and idealistic. Conservatism is unambitious and pragmatic. Which makes a more interesting story?

[Tom Reagan @burnerman_86]

@adplacksports I have money on Cole, Spaun, and Henley. What could go wrong?
