Today is Simchat Torah for @TBSNetwork - when they broadcast the final episode of "Friends," followed immediately by the first episode of "Friends." And so the eternal cycle begins yet again...

'The reason that Gatsby (the novel, if not the character) still has plenty to say to us is that it captures the precise moment that modern America came into recognizable shape. It is about the move from countryside to metropolis, from unum to pluribus, from hierarchy to heterarchy in all aspects of cultural and economic life. It captures a world in which nothing is fixed in terms of status, fortune, and self-fashioning—and it narrates the anxieties caused by such freedom.' reason.com/2013/05/02/the…

The Bad News Bears was released April 7, 1976. Where does The Bad News Bears rank among the all-time baseball movies?

One of the 1st movies I saw in theaters as a kid, a classic that gets overlooked when talking about best sports movies

The Bad News Bears turns 50 today. This movie zigged where most kid-sports films zag: cynical, un-Disneyfied, a gritty 1970s antidote to the usual underdog uplift. And Walter Matthau never once feels like he’s “acting with kids.”

April 7, 1989. A misfit Cleveland Indians team went on a run nobody saw coming. Major League hit theaters, directed by David S. Ward and starring Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, and Bob Uecker.

Still the gold standard for baseball movies and a top sports movie in general. #ChicosBailBonds

The Bad News Bears, a new sports comedy film starring Walter Matthau and a cast of children, premieres in theaters.

@GregRenoff Oddly under-regarded as a work of cinema. It's right up there with the best films of the 1970s. x.com/davidberger/st…

Incredible film. Directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Bill (son of Burt) Lancaster, who also wrote the screenplay for THE THING.

@nickgillespie It's an incredibly underrated movie - it's right up there with the best of the era (and surprisingly astute in its reflection/observations of the culture of the time.) x.com/davidberger/st…

Like The Godfather, Bad News Bears heralded the era in which we still live. The Godfather likened big business and big govt to the mafia while BNB broke the news that adults were either too distracted or indifferent to raise their kids. Both told us the truth: We're on our own.

THE BAD NEWS BEARS was released 50 years ago.
Walter Matthau was initially reluctant to take the role, but his gruff, laid-back approach ended up defining the film’s irreverent tone and turning it into a standout sports comedy.

Movies from this era had a look and a feel that just can’t be duplicated. It’s a great example of a work of fiction telling you more about a historical era than a factual history book could by describing it. The wardrobe, dialogue, behavior, etc
