JUST IN: Hollywood director Paul Feig endorses Sydney Sweeney as the next James Bond.







50 years ago today, All the President’s Men (1976) was released. Still arguably the greatest film about investigative journalism and political thrillers.

Charles Bassey was surprised by how wide open he was while playing with Steph Curry: “To be honest, man, I was so wide open. They were telling me that because after I got the dunk and they got a timeout, GP was telling me, ‘Yo, I know you didn’t know you was going to be wide open.’ I was like, ‘Trust me bro, I didn’t know bro.’ But he was just telling me, ‘Yo just you playing with Steph, you just gotta be ready cause Steph attracts a lot of players’ and stuff like that. So you know, like I said, you see the second pass I fumbled it. I just got to stay ready knowing he’s gonna attract players, and just stay ready to finish the layup or something.”

Back in October 2023, in the first days after Hamas’s surprise attack, it seemed almost impossible that Binyamin Netanyahu would still be Israel’s prime minister two and a half years later. As ministers gathered for an emergency security cabinet meeting on the afternoon of October 7, one of Netanyahu’s closest political allies, finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, told him: “Within 48 hours they will ask us to resign — and they will be right to do so.” Israel had just experienced the worst disaster in its history, the government and the IDF had failed, and Netanyahu, who had spent more than a decade shaping the country’s policy on Hamas, bore the brunt of the responsibility. He appeared politically finished. But he wasn’t. Today, Netanyahu is not only still in office, he is the frontrunner in polls before the next election, while his main rival, former prime minister Naftali Bennett, trails behind. There is no single explanation for how Netanyahu has managed this remarkable political recovery. But taken together, several factors help explain how he went from the brink of political collapse to once again standing at the forefront of Israeli and, with the current war against Iran, global politics.

@realsashastone Completely disagree, There Will Be Blood is emotional and operatic, No Country For Old Men is a great movie that is limited by the novel’s simplistic ideas, it is not in the top half of Coen brothers films.


Every few months, I revisit the No Country vs There Will Be Blood debate. Both are obviously masterpieces, but I've landed on this: No Country is the better film because it is more restrained and precise. TWBB is a strange cinematic opera, No Country is a classical sculpture.
