For, um, no reason, I decided to rank the best performances from Paul Dano. He’s a very good actor! Take a look at my list over at Awards Radar:

I really wanted to like Ella McCay, truly I did. James L. Brooks has made many a wonderful film, but this, this is fairly dreadful. It gave me no pleasure to write this pan, but it’s up at Awards Radar:

Give me a bag of fries and five minutes alone with this guy, and I could have him babbling publicly about how the honorary Oscars need to be restored to the main telecast.

My review won’t be up until tomorrow, but it’s upsetting to see how much Ella McCay doesn’t work. James L. Brooks used to be able to do this kind of story in his sleep, but he’s very much asleep at the switch here, stranding a talented cast with nothing to do. I hate that I hate this one.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn tells reporters that QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) won’t practice today while Brady Cook will get all the first-team reps. They’ll all be evaluated later in the week.

Anthony DiComo saying his understanding was no, Edwin Diaz did not circle back to the Mets and let them have the last offer.

Got the Edwin Díaz news just as I was sitting down to talk Is This Thing On? with Will Arnett and Laura Dern, so they got my immediate reaction. You’ll be able to see that, and the rest of our conversation, next week at Awards Radar.

I went 68 out of 84 with my Golden Globe predictions (since I dont acknowledge or predict the Cinematic and Box Office Achievemnt or Podcast fields), which is a little better than 80%, including I believe four categories I got perfectly. Not too shabby.
