One last chance (for now) for Simon's Sports Corner. And one last chance to celebrate the NBA Offseason of 2017, the best offseason any sport has ever had. The Kyrie/IT trade might or might not change things for two franchises, but it's hella fascinating and fun, and naturally the Cavs and Celts open the season…

We have movies opening this week called Bushwick and Crown Heights. I demand Flatbush, Boro Park, Park Slope, and Sheepshead Bay!!

As a Jew, I really don't know how I feel about this. I appreciate his point, but it feels strange in ways I can't explain. Pretty much like everything else related to the Holocaust.

I feel old. That was on 23 years ago?

Fair enough. But when I was in Toronto last year, my eyes bulged at the movies you had that I didn't. After which, being a man of predictable and limited tastes, I watched Batman: Assault on Arkham.

What about Amazon Prime? Hulu? HBO Go? Filmstruck? CBS All Access? Britpop?

That's weird, considering all the stuff you have that we don't.

I did AirBnB once, and it was a very mixed result. The ad was mildly misleading, the apartment's heating system was out of whack (and flooded one bedroom when we adjusted it), and the owners were hard to deal with. Given than the alternative would have been a much more expensive hotel in a major city, it was okay…

Let's be honest. The overall series was never that good. It got better for a while in season two, but delaying the wedding was a terrible idea.

And it had some great political columnists, Nat Hentoff above all.

I only vaguely remember that.

It's debatable whether the online version lasts much longer, though. The Voice has long ceased to be relevant, an old school liberal outlet that seems to have had a lot of trouble making itself matter to younger progressives even in a city with a lot of progressives. Its arts coverage has lagged since J. Hoberman…

There is also the odd case of Lois and Clark, renewed for both a fourth and fifth seasons, and then cancelled after the fourth. ABC chose to pay off Warner Bros. rather than keep the show, which had a terrible, terrible fourth season in every way possible.

And there is also liberation theology, which is way to the left, and was squelched by the Vatican at least some of the time.

I read somewhere that this is one things cameras are not well equipped for, that the human eye is still better.

Gonna confess something: I haven't seen a single really good photo from the eclipse. Every photo of the eclipse itself looks like every other photo, and it might as well have been taken in 1979. And all the photos of people looking at the eclipse don't interest me. I was hoping there would be some amazing shot of…

Why? Because turtles aren't kosher, clearly.

I am not doing a group hug.

I liked the end of Lost, as did most of the people I knew. And my wife and most of her friends liked the end of BSG. I didn't even know people who hated the end of The Sopranos (though that really doesn't compare with the others, does it?). It was only online that I found the vast storms of anger and entitlement,…

Kinja is coming.
