That was a shocking replay reverse, seemed obvious. Then the NFL official guy on the broadcast basically tried to explain it?

Woody absolutely paid the refs this weekend. Couldn't suffer an embarrassment in London. No idea how that fumble was overturned.

Also you would think NFL officials wouldn’t also be so bad at something called NFL officiating but those in today’s London game sure are bad at their jobs. Were they found in a nearby pub? Some obvious miss calls.

You’d think something called NFL Network would be better at production on an NFL game, but yeesh their camerawork leaves much to be desired.

Maybe I’m just feeling magnanimous now and that’ll change in a few days but if my team* doesn’t repeat as champs I’d feel happy for these other 3 teams getting it.
(*I still hope they do, repeating hasn’t been done in 20+ years.)

The reason why TRON bombed is because there are very very few people left on the planet who are invested in the story of Kevin Flynn, hotshot video game designer from a movie from 43 years ago

Diane Keaton had an amazing career, but this, to me, is her best scene, and also Beatty's best as a director.

And hey, now that we're talking about it, Reds is a movie screaming for a revival.

If dodgers win their series then, yes, this too ^

If they don’t, good night and good luck!

Proposal: call this game a tie, combine both teams into one to play the Jays. Discuss?

But seriously, I said this about the dodgers Phillies series but especially here: it’s a shame someone will have to lose this epic game.

but also, someone win it!

USMNT tying a world class Ecuador side 1-1 in a friendly was one of their best performances to date for coach Pocchetino. They had a lot of chances vs one of the better defenses who hasn’t lost in a long while now.

‘One Battle After Another’ Is a Hit with Critics Because It ‘Aligns with a Leftist Sensibility,’ Says Bret Easton Ellis: ‘There’s a Liberal Mustiness to This Movie’

Bret Easton Ellis says critics love 'One Battle After Another' because it has 'leftist sensibilities.'

Bret Easton Ellis not liking One Battle After Another, color me shocked. As someone (Ellis) who likes dark comedy in his own controversial work, it’s surprising Ellis doesn’t pick up on that side of the film at all. Or maybe it’s not surprising? Ellis: www.theguardian.com/books/2010/j...

The Lost Bus is made by a great director and is scary to us because it’s a real story (escaping the horrific Paradise Fire in California) so yeah it’s not horror but scary all the same (looks really suspenseful and good tho)

Yes nothing beats the original Halloween! Or The Thing. Or The Exorcist.

I can handle a certain amount of zombies, but I have to admit after I just re-watched the trailer I decided, nope, not tonight, I will wait for daylight. Ha. But another alternative idea The Lost Bus looks like one that would upset my sleep at least as much.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.
