I wrote something on Substack. It has emotions in it, which is pretty much uncharted territory for me.
I haven't seen a ton of P&P movies but looking at their filmography I don't see an uninterrupted run that jumps out
Are you counting Lorenzo's Oil as an all-timer? I can't get behind that.
A friend pointed out that the Coen Brothers might work depending on what you think of The Hudsucker Proxy (I don't think it's good enough to qualify).
Yep, and his later run is interrupted by The Lost World.
Hitchcock in the 50s (Rear Window -> Psycho) was amazing but included The Trouble With Harry.
Kurosawa did 11 movies from 1952-65 (Ikiru -> Red Beard) but The Lower Depths and The Bad Sleep Well were merely great instead of World class.
Is the seven-film run that Rob Reiner started his career with the greatest run ever?
This Is Spinal Tap
The Sure Thing
Stand By Me
The Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally...
Misery
A Few Good Men
I looked at a few usual suspects (Spielberg, Hitchcock, Kurosawa) and I think Reiner wins.

God bless the first Chicagoan who, upon looking at an a Italian beef sandwich, thought "I'll just throw a sassidge on there too."
Yes
Rich Hill actually went one more out - no-hitter through 9 and then gave up a leadoff walk-off homer in the 10th!

Can you post the whole list? I was digging around Baseball Reference and found games where Phil Niekro and Don Sutton faced each other, 20 years apart:

* If you add in recognized Negro Leagues (6 additional states) and defunct major leagues (2 additional states), MLB has been played in 33 states.
#baseball #mlb
* The current 30 teams play in 17 states (plus DC)
* AL/NL games have been played in 7 additional states (Alabama, Hawaii, Iowa, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, and Nevada, plus PR); Tennessee will be the 8th

(1/3) When the Reds and Atlanta play tomorrow at Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee will become the 25th state to host an AL/NL game.

Why does Boog Sciambi pronounce Fernando Tatis Jr's last name with a Z sound at the end?
Glenallen Hill did that (as well?)
I didn't think we needed a Neville Chamberlain for the 21st Century but evidently Chuck Schumer disagreed.
But why come out of the PSA with a Red Hot Chili Peppers song? Maybe because they have almost no Black artists on their playlist? I guess they can't play Rage Against the Machine every single time... (2/2)
Kudos to @q101chicago.bsky.social for highlighting important black musicians for Black History Month in the current anti-DEI environment. And I particularly appreciate them saying "research and learn more."

Thanks, I knew the Bright Eyes cover but not the original..
It's been 20+ years since we lost everything in the Cedar Fire, but I still get PTSDish when SoCal burns. Stay safe everyone, and EVACUATE.
