Watched Roadgames (1981) for the first time. Loses a ton of steam in the last fifteen minutes, but what a ride it is to get there.
Also, it’s wild how movies used to just look this good.
LeBron James reveals the high school game that made him realize he was destined for the NBA
"We played Oak Hill Academy, the No. 1 high school team in the country. They had future NBA players, Division I talent, and a lottery pick named Sagana Job. Before the game, I was nervous as hell. But once I stepped on the court, something came over me. I was out there doing things I didn't even know I was capable of doing"
"The next day, all the newspaper articles were talking about the NBA scouts who came to see Oak Hill. They were there to see Sagana Job and the rest of their stars, but they left talking about LeBron James. When I heard NBA scouts saying my name, I told myself, 'As long as I stay the course, have fun with my friends, and don't do anything silly, I'll be alright.' Where I grew up, things could be good one day and bad the next, so my mindset was simple: don't mess it up"
@bornposting It's like if in Return of the Jedi Darth Vader killed Luke and then the stormtroopers massacred Han, Leia, and all the Ewoks. Great movie.
Vanity Fair has edited a controversial moment from their latest segment with the ‘SNL’ cast, in which Chloe Fineman reveals why she was fired as a camp counselor when she was 16.
Fineman revealed she pantsed a 6-year-old boy who wasn’t wearing underpants:
“I pantsed a boy and he wasn’t wearing underpants. And then a giant school bus drove by. He would like lift my shirt all the time. He was like 6… It was a different time. He would be like ‘Hey can I have a hug?’ And I’d go to hug him and then he’d lift my shirt up like a d*ck. I was like ‘I’m gonna get back at you’ and so we were on a hike, and I was like ‘Hey Ollie, go look over there it’s a hawk!’ and then I yanked his pants down. He wasn’t wearing underwear, his little ding-a-ling was out, and then these two twins were like ‘Ollie I didn’t know you didn’t wear underwear.’”
Watched The Harder They Fall (1956) last night. It deserves to be up there with the greatest sports movies of all time. Great way to go out for Bogart.
Foreshadows the O’Bannon vs. NCAA lawsuit that completely transformed college sports and the way student athletes are paid.
Was watching an interview on YouTube and Chris Pratt and his “praying app(?)” popped up with such abrupt impact that it rivaled the jump scare in Excorcist III
Writer of Deadpool & Wolverine, Rhett Reese reacts to viral AI video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting:
“I hate to say it. It’s likely over for us.”
The Night House (2020) is one of the most overlooked modern horror films. It’s eerie, deeply emotional, and anchored by Rebecca Hall’s phenomenal performance. A haunting exploration of grief disguised as a ghost story.
