Man Mike Brown is coaching a masterpiece right now. Knicks are adapting to everything the spurs are doing defensively. And it’s immediate too. Doesn’t even take a full possession to adjust.
@therealest007@ArtOfDialogue_ Yup smh, was wondering what it was gonna become after RL closed and still nothing. So true, it’s sad to see in real time for sure
Womanhood! Vivica A. Fox compliments Aleshea Harris on her courage bringing together all the female cast of ‘Is God Is’:
“I'm an independent filmmaker myself, you know, first-time director. I know what it's like to want to go after people that you have on your wish list. When I did my directorial debut, I paid my lead actress out of my own pocket because I wanted her. And it was called ‘Through Her Eyes’. Tressa Azarel, she gave me my directorial debut.
So for Aleshea, for her to get the stellar cast that she got, everyone showed up with no ego. And I believe that's because they believed in the script, they believed in the project, they believed in the director, and also one of our producers was Tessa Thompson.
[...] Tessa was involved, so everyone, it was almost kind of like, why not? Why not do it? And we filmed in New Orleans. Yes. It was hot. [...] But no one was tripping because a lot of us had never worked together or hadn't worked together for a long time or for the first time.”

I’m not even a FOMO person and that shit pisses me off. “Yo, where you at? Keem just showed up at the place, he’s playing unreleased collabs with Kendrick” as soon as you walk through the door.

so interested in the racial politics of the filmic/tele-visual medium for which this is documented as live performance pedagogy; even more interested in how black dance is only complexified the next year when Alvin Ailey is honored by Ellis Haizlip’s “Soul!” program on PBS.
“Michael didn’t beat us. Rodman did”. Please don’t let these 24 year olds rewrite history like Worm to CHI wasn’t a monumental pick up. First Team All Defense and rebounding champ when CHI got him. SA just let him go bc they were sick of his shit.
Rodman mentioned in his biography that his refusal to guard Dream (bc he was tired of not being appreciated/respected while still always being asked to bail that defense out) at the request of Robinson and the coaches in that 95 SA-HOU series where Dream cooked Robinson and sent SA home was when SA finally washed their hands of him.
In an era where the final scores of playoff games were 88-83, a player who was singlehandedly manufacturing 17 possessions for his team with his rebounding was incredibly valuable. Don’t let them rewrite history.
One of the coolest choices in CASINO (1995) is Scorsese killing Joe Pesci’s character in the middle of his own narration. Nicky is talking like he’ll be around forever, then the movie abruptly cuts him off.
