Stand and Deliver turns 38 today.
Edward James Olmos is electric as Jaime Escalante, the East LA teacher who pushed underprivileged students to defy expectations. Olmos became the first Mexican-American Best Actor Oscar nominee. It cleaned up at the Indie Spirits: Best Feature, Director (Ramón Menéndez), Male Lead, Supporting Female (Rosanna DeSoto), Supporting Male (Lou Diamond Phillips), and Screenplay. It's an incredible film.
The opening of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005) is one of the most breathtaking sequences in the saga. That continuous shot weaving through the space battle took nearly 2 years to complete and instantly sets the tone for the series’ darkest chapter.
This moment from Return of the Jedi has always been one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Wars.
Not only does the lack of choreography brilliantly showcase Luke’s anger and brief descent into darkness, but John Williams’ score is so emotional that it almost brings me to tears every time I hear it.
Without question, one of the greatest scenes from the Original Trilogy.
The #49ers placed WR Brandon Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list, which makes Aiyuk ineligible to return to action for the remainder of this season, per @MaioccoNBCS
