Galaxy Quest is still pitch-perfect. The screenwriting, the performances, the directing. It's one of my favorite examples of getting a wide-ranging tone just right. It goes from comedically outlandish sci-fi to genuine character moments, and it never misses a beat of emotional truth in between. That is so much harder to do than people realize. A truly remarkable feat. I love this movie.

What if DISCLOSURE DAY is actually a stealth sequel to CLOSE ENCOUNTERS...and at the end of the movie...Richard Dreyfuss is brought back to EARTH...SPLIT style!

@RichardERoeper That was the era of the BIG IMPORTANT HISTORICAL MOVIE OSCAR SWEEP and it happened to be Gandhi's time in the barrel (ironic that in the great movie year of 1982, the Best Picture winner is probably not in the Top 30 movies).

Now watching: “Blade Runner” (1982). Just two Oscar nominations, zero wins. Not even a nod for editing, score, cinematography, or Rutger Hauer. Criminal

@SportsSturm @corbydavidson Don't know if you've addressed it but doesn't it look like the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and Cowboys Training Camp will both be happening in Southern California at the same time? It might be fun for the show.

@JensWeinreich @OlympicStatman The world doesn't need any more sliding tracks and the IOC knows that. But you also don't really need any more ski jumps or indoor speedskating facilities (or. to be honest, velodromes or kayak slalom venues). This 'regional' model makes sense going forward.

Will the IOC remove bobsleigh, luge and skeleton from the Olympic programme? Rumors to that effect are circulating within the Olympic family. In one fell swoop, Germany would lose 73% of all Olympic medals, for which hundreds of millions of euros are paid. sportandpolitics.de/streicht-das-i…

Column: The Olympics can be an endless, time-sucking logistical hurdle … and then one night people are singing on a jammed van and you can’t help but smile. In the Italian mountains, things just happen when (and how) they happen. bit.ly/4b2Mmqw

I’m biased but Chicago is a better setting for the summer Olympics. River is clean enough to swim in, you’ve got multiple iconic stadiums. the lake is great for most of the water sports/beach volleyball w/the best skyline in America as the backdrop
Leigh Giangreco@LeighGiangreco

I’m sorry but the backdrop of LA28 is just nothing compared to Milan or Paris. The last summer Olympics had the Eiffel Tower and we’ll have…highways?

@MichaelRPayne1 2 great Games in a row after the 2 Covid Games (although I think Tokyo would have been great in different circumstances). All the more pressure on LA, which already has to deal with our, maybe over romanticized, memories of '84.

So 23rd Olympics finished - some HITS & MISSES, beyond the great sport. HITS - Drones. Totally transformed the broadcast presentation, & created new job opportunities for drone/sport pilots! - Security. Military for first time in memory, invisible. - Field of Play -Look. Perfect unique stage created for athletes to perform. - Big screen partner activation, showcasing how some sponsor technology is enhancing viewer experience. - The mountain atmosphere, magical, authentic & intimate. - MISSES - Mascots. Did not produce nearly enough. Supplier did not believe in potential. - Big Olympic rings projected on mountain in Cortina. City wanted, lawyers blocked. - French Alps 2030 emblem. First time on memory next Games in 4 years, did not have one ready. - No high speed train to get to distant venues like Beijing 2022 - Google maps, when navigating mountain passes & sending you down valleys only to find police had suddenly closed pass due to too much snow. - Brilliant Games. Thankyou Italy

Calgary 1988 has to be the most influential Winter Olympics. 1 - The length of the Games changed from 9 days to 16 - to match the Summer Games.

@rodger On the Individual Event final stream between the time the event ends and the Medal Ceremony begins, there is this wonderful reality show of what's goes on behind the scenes. No commentary, just athletes and volunteers and officials hanging out and getting ready.

I left the Peacock bobsled stream on too long and watched these two Olympics workers unboxing and carefully plating the Olympic medals in front of every possible flag that could be used in the medal ceremony
