No story in North Carolina reflects where this nation is politically at its 250th birthday more than this one. Wild, ironic and needs a deep dive. Residents who don’t want “big” government overreach somehow go bigger and get State involved to usurp municipal rights.

If NC gets an MLB team there’s only one name they should take and that’s the Red Wolves. There is no other correct take.

More than 200 years ago, George Washington toured the newly born nation and struggled to find North Carolina’s charm. I retraced his route to separate fact from mythology about his journey.

The stadium shook. Moonshine passed through the stands. Strangers embraced. Ice melted. Nature healed.

Sinners is great. One Battle is not (though Benicio is). Bugonia is wacky good. Train Dreams is very good. Frankenstein is actually very very good. Sentimental Value should win everything it’s nominated for, it’s beyond great. Haven’t seen the rest yet.

Fantastic 4 is good. But what it’s great at, it doesn’t do enough. For instance, could have used a longer Murrow/Kronkite speech that it was going for through its Helms Deep climax. The humor is one-off, not a lot of retort which builds character and depth of scene. But it’s fun!

[matthew vincent @matthewRvincent]

Finally watching Sinners. It’s bloody brilliant.

I’m 9 minutes into the first episode of the new season of The Bear. And already… there’s a shot, doesn’t last for more than a couple seconds and it gets to the heart of the Critic’s tendency to reverse-write to fit a trite pun. That couple seconds says more than any essay could.

Episode 1. Chaos. Easy to believe. Especially if you’ve spent time in the restaurant world. Episode 2. It’s about believing in something to believing in. It’s crushing. But we all need something to believe in. We need to know why we allow ourselves to be crushed. The heart breaks

It’s Nice to Have a Friend by Taylor Swift is a perfect song. It’s just small in a way that… is.
