Throwback to 2013 when Piers Morgan claimed he could face 150km/h pace, so Shane Warne called Brett Lee to humbled him on live TV. 😭

Safe to say, he hasn't tweeted about cricket since.🤣

Dennis Rodman contou que, no Jogo 6 das Finais de 1998, estava tão confiante de que Michael Jordan acertaria os 4 lances livres no último minuto que nem se deu ao trabalho de buscar o rebote.

O cara ficou de costas pra cesta 😂

The reason Top Gun: Maverick was a cultural phenomenon is it managed to do what modern legacy sequels (think Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Terminator) failed at for years.

The movie didn't treat Maverick as some infallible god nor does it turn him into a broken loser.

He's still stubborn, reckless, but his flaws stem from his grief over Goose, not from some cynical corner of a writer's wet dream of writing Game of Thrones.

Maverick earns the respect of the younger pilots by demonstrating supreme skill, acting as their ultimate enabler.

The biggest piece of proof this was the goal is in the scene with Ice Man. They didn't recast or write him off screen. They brought in Val Kilmer and integrated his health issues, handling his character with incredible dignity. The conversation between Ice Man and Mav is the emotional anchor to the whole movie.

Top Gun: Maverick proves audience don't mind nostalgia bait or passing the torch as long as the characters they grew up loving are treated like they mattered.

Paul Bettany’s performance as Geoffrey Chaucer in A KNIGHT’S TALE (2001) is the moment it becomes obvious he was never going to stay a character actor. Every introduction he delivers feels like he’s hijacking the entire film & somehow making it even better

The fact Anakin Skywalker picked up a lightsaber after 20 years and they had to tell him to slow down is insane. 🤯⚔️

OCEAN’S 11 was released 66 years ago today.

It was conceived largely as a vehicle to bring the Rat Pack together. Their off-screen camaraderie became the movie’s biggest attraction, blurring the line between the characters & the legends playing them.

Quentin Tarantino considers this scene to be the "Best moment in the History of Cinema" and he can't imagine any filmmaker ever topping it.

Imaginaos un videojuego al estilo Skyrim donde puedas explorar todos los rincones de la Tierra Media y puedas subir de nivel a tu personaje mientras tienes tu casita.

Este es el tipo de juego que hemos estado esperando los fans de ESDLA y que nunca llega.

Here’s Franco Baresi, at 34 years old and just three weeks after knee surgery, repelling everything Brazil throw at him in the 1994 World Cup Final.

Football has lost a master of his craft. A true defensive titan.

[Best of Star Wars @bestofstarwar]

George Lucas originally planned to score Star Wars with existing classical music, much like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That changed after Steven Spielberg introduced him to John Williams. Together, they crafted a sweeping, 19th-century-inspired orchestral score filled with leitmotifs, giving each character and idea its own musical identity.

Lucas believed the music would act as the audience’s emotional anchor, helping them connect with a galaxy unlike anything they’d ever seen. And cinema was never the same.

[Best of Star Wars @bestofstarwar]

Harrison Ford deliberately didn’t memorise Han Solo’s lines for the Death Star intercom conversation in Star Wars.

He wanted Han’s frantic excuses to sound genuinely improvised and desperate, helping create one of the film’s funniest and most memorable moments.
