Movies. Other things.
So not only a terrible season this year for the Chiefs, but I imagine this heavily affects next year.

Damn damn damn.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs say Patrick Mahomes tore the ACL in his left knee and that he and team are exploring surgical options.

My answer to this question is always “does it have Christmas lights? If yes it’s a Christmas movie.”
Do we count LA Confidential as a Christmas movie

What a shitty day for KC sports.

I hope Mahomes isn’t so badly hurt it affects us next year.

Sigh.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Some (not all) of the early winners are ROUGH. Cavalcade, Cimarron, Broadway Melody, etc.
Late night question for the gang: what’s your LEAST favorite Best Picture winner that’s not Crash?

Michael Curtiz’s White Christmas, Sauvingnon Blanc, and Sam’s delicious roast chicken and leeks over orzo. Delicious holiday vibes tonight.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Between the phone scene in Wake Up Dead Man and like all of Hamnet, this weekend has put me through the cinematic emotional wringer.

Wake Up Dead Man is streaming so I can express more specific thoughts without feeling guilty: there's a Phone Call Scene that starts out as a pretty straightforward frustrating customer-service call, evolves into something transcendent. beautifully acted, almost unbearably lovely. fucked me up bad.
had high hopes for Wake Up Dead Man, and they were exceeded. I feel insanely biased, though, as a lapsed Catholic who loves impeccably crafted locked-room mysteries & murder at the vicarage. imho the funniest, most poignant, and maybe prettiest Benoit Blanc entry yet.

“Kenyon Martin scored a team-high 12 PTS for the Nets.” you can’t know the darkness of the nba unless you lived through the early 2000s. you could never understand the light in the darkness that was the 7 seconds or less Suns, the promise of LeBron, the delicacy baby Kevin Durant as a 2 guard
December 13, 2003: This dunk by the Grizzlies' Stromile Swift, off the lob pass from teammate Bonzi Wells.

Wells finished with a game-high 22 PTS and Swift scored 18 PTS in Memphis' 110-63 win over New Jersey. Kenyon Martin scored a team-high 12 PTS for the Nets.

I hope Johnson and Craig make Benoit Blanc movies forever.

Get Out was also an insanely good crowd experience for me.
My memory sucks, but boy was the theatre I was at locked in to see Get Out. Just an electric movie-going experience.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

This film got slept on last year and it’s easily one of the best Christmas movies of recent times. A mix of Sirk, Altman, Mekas. Shot by EEPHUS director Carson Lund.
