Every week I go to a trivia night with a movie round (my only contribution) where the host names 3 movies and you have to name the actor in all 3.
How many would you get? No cheating!
The best explanation I ever read was The Shining was largely biographical and King wrote it, in a sense, to free himself from his burdens. He saw himself as victim of his addictions. OTOH, Kubrick saw the protagonist as psychotic and largely to blame. King didnโt appreciate that.
Unpopular Zach Lowe opinion; him getting canned is a good thing. Ya it sucks for him right now and he deserves better. But ESPN is abominable and doesn't deserve him. He loves the NBA and is elite at covering it. He'll find a place to cover the league. And ESPN will be worse off.
After eliminating Boston in 6, every single Florida Panther took a moment to show their respect for Jeremy Swayman, who was unbelievable this series & the entire postseason. The post-series handshake line tradition in hockey is always really cool, but this one felt extra special.
In all seriousnessโBurks was an awesome NYK. Itโs not his fault Thibs decided to run him into the ground playing out of position last year.
He worked his ass off for us, gave us everything he had & hit huge shots. It woulda been nice to keep him in a bench role. Heโll he missed.
Easily the best part about this is the excitement dripping in the first โoh.โ Sheโs not skeptical, she knows sheโs been proven right. And she feels no remorse for her friend, she only cares that her initial distrust was spot on. Sabrina captures all that with one word and a look.
This may legitimately be the sequence of Mikal Bridges' Knicks career:
๐ทStays disciplined on Ja Morant
๐ทBrunson gets fouled but there's no call, Bridges doesn't quit and hustles back to stop the fast break
๐ทRaces back down the court for the easy layup
The Knicks are up 24 and the only thing the ESPN broadcast is talking about is why the Knicks won't win a championship this season. No other team is discussed this way.
Saw this the day after it opened. When I bought my ticket the movie theater employee said, "You're the first person to buy a ticket to this movie here. It got zero views last night. More like MegaFLOPolis am I right?"
Needless to say that was the peak of the experience for me.
