Yes, love this show! Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer should be in everything together. Also loved No Activity, but this had more heart.

That’s linebacker Ken Norton’s dad!

Ken Norton, the 49ers linebacker?

There was talk of a TV series as recently as 2021, no idea where that stands (obviously nowhere now that the writer’s strike is on), but I’d like to throw a vote for LaKeith Stanfield as Easy if that ever gets going.

It’s funny, when I read the book, I pictured Dennis Haysbert, because I read it around the same time as the Tom Selleck movie Mr. Baseball came out (before the Denzel movie by a few years), and I just remember him being so much bigger than everyone else on the team, combined with his very authoritative voice.

I love Malcolm X and definitely can’t be mad it’s number one here. I am 100% with you on the King Kong speech in Training Day. A guy used to being able to talk, menace or charm his way out of anything and none of it’s working, so he’s trying them all at once. Just that whole sequence of yelling and smiling/laughing in…

Denzel just has so many amazing performances, even the movies that didn’t make this list are favorites for me - specifically, Fallen and The Book of Eli. But if we’re sticking to this list, Training Day would rank first for me, then Devil in a Blue Dress and Fences rounding out my top 3.

This might be the best laugh & cry show of all time.

New album-wise, this might be the best quarter of music of the year. And I hope the festivals end up streaming somewhere, lots of performances I’d like to see.

I feel like that might just be the Pending button being all janked up, but it is kinda nice to not have to read about “cancel culture” or “the woke left” or all the other varieties of insane screed that occasionally accidentally get promoted.

Man, Kinja’s crumbling like the House of Usher the past few days. Guess we have to use manual quote marks like goddamn savages now.

Definitely serious!

The Banshees of Inisherin was tremendous, stuck with me for weeks after watching.

Day 1: Still tired from the move.

He was surely named after Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda’s long time tag team partner and Bray’s . . . uncle-in-law? I don’t know how that works, but I think Mike Rotunda was married to Barry Windham’s sister.

Gah! Curse you, indefinite pronouns!

I didn’t read or even hear about the story! I guess I was very comfy under whatever rock that was at the time. But the movie looks good, so maybe I’ll watch the movie first so it’s not so freshly disappointing if the story’s better.

They’re all gonna laugh at her!

Well, the CW has now officially jumped out the window. Goodbye, Riverdale.

Huge if true! I guess I need to track one down on eBay.
