you could describe THE PITT in allusions to symphonies or ballet but to me it's just pure gymnastics. the degree of difficulty is so crazy high that it racks up a high score almost no matter how it lands, tonally it's hurling through the air doing flips at 100 mph at all times, I canNOT complain
bought glasses for my astigmatism for the first time on a whim and the fishbowl distortion wear-in period has me feeling like I am experiencing a SEVERANCE effect with the glasses on vs. off, like i don't even remember who i was with the glasses on
rewatching HEATED RIVALRY, a master class in never showing an expensive establishing wide shot of any location whatsoever.
so this is how I find out warner brothers rejected my offer
doing the TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE dance on the jumbotron to try and get Wemby to notice me
NBA: guy looks at a referee the wrong way, 6 minute game delay while the replay team in new york reviews the tape and assesses whether it's a flagrant 1 or 2
Hockey: guy punches an opposing player in the back of the brain and dog piles him afterwards, play on in 15 seconds or less
in the wake of Team Canada winning gold after getting framed for hog line touching, I am unable to not think about these celebratory drake lyrics about pretending to get framed on purpose
new idea: in lieu of announcers ever saying anything out loud, let's have a "was that good" odometer on screen where the needle moves between 'good' and 'not good' depending on how the last rock was just thrown
did melody just freshly explain to me how points are scored even though I've passively watched curling for years now? maybe. may be.
here's my big pitch for opening up the game of curling to new fans: explain the rules, verbiage and strategy on screen in gross detail every 15 minutes or less
you could cut the tension with a knife
up early watching canada bust the usa's chops in a bronze medal curling match....i really am celebrating my 8-year anniversary of moving to canada in style
'THE PITT S2 discourse' is like, a modern bigfoot sighting kind of thing, right? no one has actually seen it in the wild but you hear reports about it from algorithmic for you pages with grave concern
NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE: now that the hyperbole of the first watch is out of the way, on second watch I can calmly say that that the sum total of my entire life has been building to the conceptualization, financing, production, release and reception of this one movie.
nothing really convinces you 'no one making music today is as good as 2010s jeremih' quite like listening to 2010s jeremih
latest episode of INDUSTRY delivering prose so breathlessly cut to the bone that it's like they did a final "no exposition, boys, this one's for joe" pass on the script. so many shows give us so little, I do not care that this one is always cramming in 3 seasons of plot into each episode
can tv award shows create a new "That One Netflix Series" category so we can give limited series and acting awards to like, anything else other than the given year's That One Netflix Series
if you like your country music forlorn and queer, then a new album just dropped for you

the day a Spadina streetcar can travel between Front St and Queen St (1km) in under a half hour in its own right of way lane, all hell will break loose in toronto canada
me and the fellas everytime Peter Hujar describes a phone call from the previous day in PETER HUJAR'S DAY
there are so few reasons to be proud to be American anymore, but let's start with the Muppets and build it back up from there
maybe it's my station in life or the state of the world or maybe it was always this way but man... MAN, am I happy to see some Muppets.
in important news of the day: Amanda Seyfried dominated the graham norton couch this week. all star 2019 kawhi game 7 ecsf type performance, inspiring
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
not every weekend I get to break up an episode of INDUSTRY with a Bad Bunny halftime show. but it oughta be
I don't even like GREEN KNIGHT like that, but everytime I see a trailer for this I get gassed up. One might say millennial cultural imperialism is like, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON getting a live action remake for no reason but this my shit right here.
THE MOMENT: v weird to make a 2hr movie with much less drama than a 41 minute album. the more one knows about charli's career the less the movie works. An uncanny zone between 'not funny enough' (tall order) & 'not sincere enough' (charli's wheelhouse). bless the effort tho
I, for one, am enjoying the Detroit Pistons' swift transition from being 'so bad at basketball it's not fun to watch' to 'so good at basketball it's not fun to watch'
was all for giving TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE the benefit of the doubt (Seyfried, honourary canadian, can sell feverish belief like few can) but Fastvold / Corbet should have learned how to write a movie with a single moment of levity in it before they figured out how to balance a budget
