Writer editor, Minneapolis Seattle, movies baseball. WAMPAS Baby Star of 1966. Most of my reviews do not count toward the Tomatometer.
What is Christopher Nolan known for, per IMDb? Yeah. Forget the lack of writing/directing credits and just focus on the films. Quiz your friends. See how many guesses it'll take them to get all four movies listed here. I'm guessing it'll be all the guesses. www.imdb.com/name/nm06342...
Post a perfect album from the '90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.
Lay down your weary tune, lay down Lay down the song you strum And rest yourself ’neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum -- Griffey, channeling Bob
This guy, man. Here he is before the Yankees lost the 2004 ALCS, per the 30-30 doc "Four Days in October.”
So I don't believe IMDb gives us access to clicks, but they do for No. of times a movie/TV show has been rated, along with box office, etc., all of which is supposed to matter. And it rarely does with IMDb's known for rankings. Recent example: eriklundegaard.com/item/what-is...
Here's one of the more egregious ones: What is Henry "The Fonz" Winkler known for? Not for playing the Fonz on "Happy Days," says IMDb. I wrote about it three years ago, and they've updated his "Known For" results since ... by making them worse. eriklundegaard.com/item/another...
What is Danny Devito known for? This one from IMDb isn't as egregious but its No. 1 feels like exactly the wrong answer. eriklundegaard.com/item/what-is...
SHOT IN THE BACK 10 TIMES? AND STILL NO ARRESTS? HOW COME, DOJ? #ThreeBillboardsOutsideTheWhiteHouse
In fifth grade, my friend Dan and I created a magazine, Kids Life, and the first issue from fall '73 included a short bio of Henry Aaron and a cover hed ripping off Tigers pitcher Bill Slayback's underappreciated song.
Seriously, "ousted"? Makes it seem like she was dug in; like it was work for Trump to fire her rather than doing it on a whim after she gave him years of boot-licking loyalty. No sympathy, she deserves it, but the fish rots from the head down. And everyone knows what's stinking that fish.
Tons of American flags at the Seattle protest today. Love to see it. Let’s take that shit back finally. #NoKings #TheOnlyKingIsKingFelix
It's very odd that Aaron Judge is only fifth in active HRs AND that he's hit only one more than Freddie Freeman. ⚾
"You know the results of the latest Gallup poll? Half the country never even heard of the word Watergate. Nobody gives a shit." Sub out the word "Watergate" for whatever the latest problem is, and you have my entire lifetime.
Your semi-annual reminder that we tried going permanent DST in the winter of '74 and parents freaked because kids were walking to school in pitch dark. I was one of those kids. Anyway, I don't mind changing time twice a year. I get the logic behind it. And it's not hard to do.
I know it's later undercut by the smallpox quarantine scene, but the shots of the immigrants arriving in NY Harbor in GODFATHER II is inspiring, and, given Trump's immigration/deportation policies, devastating.
Dear IMDb, Amazon, assholes, can you do nothing right? This is on Robert Duvall's IMDb page. Can you not even fucking subtract anymore?
The Mervyn LeRoy fest on Criterion is also an homage to Aline MacMahon, a scene stealer in FIVE STAR FINAL and tough leading lady in HEAT LIGHTNING. An early practitioner of the Stanislavski method of acting, she's a standout throughout, years ahead of her time. 📽️
