Got up ready to smash this 5K walking race and did so. 1st in age group, 9th among all men, 14th overall. 12:57 per mile average.
Next stop, the Columbus half marathon. (Goal there is to beat my 2:58:57 time from last year.)

You could argue something like DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER could be made about any artist and their fans. Nevertheless, with Oasis at the center it is weirdly cathartic (at least if you like the band).
I had to laugh how much short shrift the U.S. gets in the film, though.

What I have not seen in the TIFF coverage is if they have a cringey 9/11 trailer like they did for the 10th anniversary.

If it were 20 years ago, it seems like a Disney sports film about Vozhina and/or this Cape Verde team would be a lock, regardless of how this game turns out.

Pretty wild that the cultural impact of BACKROOMS has led to how VAR reviews in the World Cup show offsides.

I haven’t seen enough to know if it will last, but so far the Reds TV games being produced by MLB are an improvement vs. Fox Sports Net and then Bally Sports/Fan Duel. Technically cleaner and far fewer promo reads/gambling tie-ins.

Of the seven films I have seen so far at True/False, PHENOMENA is the best. A real visual dazzler paired well with music. Something worth seeing big with a great sound system.

Fantastic game but hate to see it come down to pass interference penalties and a questionable (to my eyes) interception call.

If you doubted if there is demand for the new AVATAR, I just checked the IMAX screen here, and every listed screening through January 14, the last date with posted times, shows as sold out.
