I read the book Box Office Poison by Tim Robey recently that's like a history of Hollywood through its flops and there's a chapter on Speed Racer in it and the thinking at the time from everyone was that Speed Racer was going to be the big hit future of cinema not Iron Man

Speed Racer opened one week before Iron Man. Imagine how different cinema would be if Iron Man had bombed and Speed Racer made four times its budget.

@GregAFC When did the Warriors last sell out a stadium? Certainly not recently.

When NZ’s biggest city with close to 2mill ppl & the largest concentration of Pasifika people in the world, can’t support a 2nd rugby side…while the Warriors are selling out stadiums all over the country. Rugby has the death rattles in this country & many don’t want to admit it.

I do hate the thing in basketball where people try to exalt playing through injury. We remember the feel good stories and forget the bad ones where dudes just hurt themselves more or are flat out a liability

Did someone at the Masters just shout “GIMME BACK MY SON!” during Rory’s drive? They’re gonna drag him to the basement and remove his fingernails for that.

Has the now disused Avondale Racecourse ever been considered as a location for a new Auckland cricket stadium? There’s enough room there for three

@michelappleton It really is quite wild to look back and think 3 maybe 4 test nations all had the best batsman of their era at one time

Root is a special player. To produce so many Test runs in all conditions, over such a long career with so few injuries, is remarkable It’s been a special privilege to watch him, Smith & Williamson in the same era: their respective countries’ best Test batters in a very long time

@VinceMancini Absolutely rips! Not sure why reception was so bad to it. It convinced me we need more movies set in the late 90s

#JustWatched Caught Stealing Could’ve been a lesser movie but Aronofsky balances the small humours with a movie that has real stakes, real tragedy and real pain. Austin is finally given a chance to do some acting again and totally carries the film. Side characters are all great.
