@MarkHamill “Did you see the way he went sailing right out there?”

Saw this at the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles on November 8th, 1963, the day after the World Premiere. I had never heard an audience laugh so hard in my life, or seen so many legendary actors in one film on a HUGE screen that wrapped around my head & blew my 12-yr-old mind! 🤣👍

@Crisopera1 I think she has a better one in this masterpiece of Billy Wilder cynicism: “Mister, I’ve met some hard-boiled eggs in my time but you’re 20 minutes.”

Nov 16: Favorite line Ace in the Hole (1950) In this corrosively cynical noir, Jan Sterling delivers one of my favorite lines in any movie: #NoirvemberChallenge

@TheRealHoarse It’s the same sport; it’s a tiff on a basketball court.

@Vermeer417 How things worked when you were a kid isn’t relevant.

Draymond Green is an embarrassment to basketball. Endless clown shit.

@TheRealHoarse So what? It’s a couple of well paid athletes playing a game of hoops. What’s my age got to do with anything? It’s hardly Rudy T getting cold cocked by Kermit Washington.

@Vermeer417 You may have noticed, you aren’t a kid anymore. Start there.

@JanetMaslin I took Professor Sarris’ film class at Columbia and he was simply the most erudite speaker on film that I ever experienced. And he was funny too. Pauline Kael was a singular source of amusement during each class.

So glad they both landed high on The Hollywood Reporter’s list of 100 essential film books. Young critics don’t mention Sarris enough. He was a tremendously influential figure. “The American Cinema” paved the way for all the ranking and list-making we see today.

@jackwithaq @JedKingly Grann’s book is non-fiction.

@JedKingly David Grann did an excellent job on connecting with the Osage as well, the novel is absolutely incredible.

Martin Scorsese will adapt a nonfiction book about a white fbi guy and change the entire focus and heart of the film to be more about the Osage perspective and 14 year olds on here will still assume it’s gonna be a white savior flick or something and call him a racist old man

@MrChuckD MLB wants scoring, hits, HRs... i.e. action; 3 hour, 2-hit shutouts are not what fans want; hence, pitch clock, no shifts, 2 1/2 hours and you’re driving home.

Baseball fans … how come they haven’t raised the pitching mound to where it was in 1968 ?

@str8tipping Eddie Murphy: I saw the show at the DAR that became ‘Delirious.’ I’ve also seen Dave Chappelle at Caroline’s.

Who is the funniest comedian you have seen in person? I’ll start Aries Spears for me.

@MichaelWarbur17 “Did you see the way he went sailing right out there?”

@VanLathan Calm down. It’s been a couple of hours. They beat an eight seed Eastern conference squad with a mostly forgettable lineup. Forget Kareem; he hasn’t surpassed Shaq or Wilt in playoff dominance much less a six-time champion.

Sorry Kareem
