My exploration of Marty’s compulsive dishonesty and grifter tendencies as compatible with the realities of staunchly authentic pariahs in a world that offers no shortcuts for assimilation or upward mobility.

They need to fire Spain’s coach before he enters the locker room lol. Their lack of creativity is malpractice

The Stanley Cup Finals are like watching the NBA only it's a better sport and tourists don't get stomped in the street after games.

I was low-key rooting for the Knicks. Now hoping for Spurs in 6 after seeing all this bullshit.

As if we needed any more evidence…
This poor Spurs fan, man. You can see the look on his face when he turns around after someone tries to rip the jersey off - He’s incredibly nervous. And the person trying to light his hair on fire?! I’ve seen it all. Knicks fans are garbage 🗑️

KAT: "I don't know what it was but I just felt a calm and a peace that I don't know, had to be coming from the woman above
"I felt really confident…I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. This is something as a kid you always dream about…to be in the NBA Finals
"All day…weird feeling. I felt like a kid getting ready to play in my Saturday and Sunday AAU games
"In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands
"It was really fun. It was really comforting
"Game 1 of the NBA Finals you're told how the pressure's gonna be…
"I don't know, it felt like a certain presence was here that was very comforting and very loving and I felt like I could have fun out here––in Game 1 of the NBA Finals…"
Shaq: Yes. Rest in peace to your beautiful mother"

Forget the announcer — that is some sloppy hockey. I love this era but boy oh boy has the sport evolved

I’m not sorry for my harsh opinion on this, but Sean McDonough FAILED to live up to the moment in the STANLEY CUP FINALS!
25 seconds in, no energy, no awareness to get back into the PBP, just horrible.
What made Gary Thorne so good was his ability to quickly pivot in the moment especially in a playoff game and meet the moment

Quentin Tarantino recently told Sight and Sound magazine that he considers the current decade the worst period for cinema he has ever experienced.
The director said that many contemporary films leave him with a sense of "contempt" for the medium and admitted that he has lately found greater pleasure in reading books than watching movies. Here is his full statement:
“I loved going to the movies. These days, however, the concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity. Which is fair enough, because by comparison the movies of the last six years make the ‘80s seem like the ‘30s. I’ve seen movies I’ve liked since then — “West Side Story (2021); “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 & 2,” a few others, but nothing that really held me in its grip, and swept me away fo to the magical land of enjoyment that I used to visit and was the reason why I loved movies above all artforms. These days I’d rather read a book. However, a new movie has now come out that did grab me and held me for its entire duration: Joe Carnahan’s “The RIP,” starring the dynamic duo of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.”

One of the wildest stats in sports:
This is the 46TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON in which a former teammate of Jaromir Jagr has appeared in the Stanley Cup Final.
This year, it's Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson, who played with Jágr in Calgary in 2017-18.

There are some goals where the commentators and the camera need to be solely focused on the assist, because it outshines the goal.
This is one of those goals.

I’ve been trying to say this to anyone who will listen. I watch a lot more series than movies these days. Most lack true cinematic scale. They’re good but they get entrenched in dialogue shit reverse shot tedium. This season of Euphoria was grand in its cinematic scale and scope.
Jun 1
“Euphoria” Production Designer François Audouy discusses how the new season embraces a more cinematic scale, allowing the world around Rue and the other characters to become part of the storytelling itself.
