Dave Roberts: “There’s nothing that we did that no one else couldn’t have done.” Are you actually totally blind to the way most teams have to do business? Those prospects have so much less value to the Dodgers because they can spend $400mil to fix any gaps. But sure. Yep. A lockout is coming.

More research and watching Siskel and Ebert 1989 episodes. Gene doesn’t like LAST CRUSADE. Calls it a machine-like march through a bunch of hoops and keeps complaining that Ford and Connery couldn’t be related. Here’s Gene’s face after Ebert tells him he’s a grinch.

If you put together the season posters for Reacher they tell the story of a large man who can't remember where he put his keys.

Reacher Season 1 Poster. "Did I leave them in the bedroom?"Reacher Season 2, "No, I checked the bedroom. Did I leave them in the bathroom?"Reacher Season 3. "No, I checked the bathroom. Hey, have you seen my keys?"

It's official! Hollywood's historic Cinerama Dome will be renovated and re-opened in 2028. “Its historic legacy and singular moviegoing experience will be honored and carefully preserved, with the iconic Cinerama name and exterior branding left intact." www.thewrap.com/creative-con... #FilmSky

The Cinerama Dome Lives! Sony to Reopen Iconic Theater in 2028

The Cinerama Dome, left empty and abandoned since the pandemic, is springing back to life thanks to Sony and Alamo Drafthouse.

I’ve moved onto the Siskel and Ebert episode with THE DREAM TEAM and don’t you dare tell me that “Michael Keaton is not believable as a wild man.” HOW DARE YOU. Gene, you’re comparing it to ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST. Sure, everything “lacks” when compared to CUCKOO’S NEST!

Rewatching Siskel and Ebert from 1989. I reached the episode featuring THE ‘BURBS — where they eviscerate the film (“unfunny” / “unoriginal”) and heap relative praise on NEIGHBORS (81) for being the far superior of the two. They also note that Dante’s film has been a box office success due to Hanks.

PM rebroadcast. Cinema Shame is back (finally) in 2026. And I’m yammering about James Bond again.

Here it is, faithfuls and irregulars. @cinemashame.bsky.social is back. And it’s just like it’s 2014 again. My stupid voice is talking about James Bond again. @houseofglib.bsky.social hadn’t seen any of the Craig era films. We aim to fix that — in the first of 3 episodes. #JamesBond #CR06 #QoS

Ahhh yes. The once and forever King of Insufferable Threads crown belongs to the old standby “movie(s) that people love, but you despise?” Today’s iteration was filled with those objectively terrible pieces of shit Goodfellas; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; Raising Arizona; and Whiplash.
