I watched the Odyssey in proper IMAX today and I think I need to see it again. I liked it overall, but I’m not as holy moly blown away as some others. It’s also inspired some thoughts about IMAX (which I love, it’s the only “special” ticket I ever buy) and how it’s best used in film.

I didn’t expect Christopher Nolan to tie The Odyssey into Lord of the Rings like that. Cool!

Ok! And the Cubbies too!!

Are we so back?

Ok, so Vladdy’s playing hurt. How long has this been going on and how does it help him or the team?

I'm reading this while watching Vladdy take a hesitant half swing at a ball to ground out.

It only cost them $9M to get rid of Cori Bush. Though, everything's a bargain when you have unlimited cash.

It’s good that mainstream media can provide a haven for charisma-voids who want to be influencers and thought leaders but aren’t human enough to be relatable and thus can’t make it on their own.

Aside from watching Mandalorian and Grogu, I saw the new Spider-Man yesterday afternoon. It was really good. Bits of unneeded bloat, but overall great. Booting Destin Daniel Cretton off the Avengers movies for the Russos is gonna prove to be an all-time bad move.

I finally watched The Mandalorian and Grogu. Wooooooooof.

Varsho is my son’s favourite Blue Jay. This one hits home.

The smirking way Patel asks this question, like having a social media platform that skews left when we already have several that explicitly or implicitly skew right is a “problem”, demonstrates the slovenly adherence to Silicon Valley pre-2017 liberalism that’s made tech journalism really boring.

If I'm the Jays front office, I'd understand that this season is very likely an awful fluke caused, in no small part, by the generational trauma of WS games 6 and 7. It's nearly team-wide yips. As such, I'd be making moves to set up for a comeback 2027, and that MUST include coaching staff changes.

Soriano probably means the dream of Gaus coming back as a free agent are behind us, but then again...maybe not. A big x-factor here is Max. As much as his kid loves Toronto, will Scherzer, like David Carradine in Kung Fu, move on in 2027 to bring justice and honour to another team's rotation?

Soriano, eh. That’s very interesting.

Yes, I’ve watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Grumpy Cubs fans (??) seem to have found me.

This is the take. The offense let Gaus down in the postseason last year, wasting great start after great start, and they did it again all season this year. After all that, he still wanted to stay. Think about that for a minute. The only guy who doesn't wear this failure is Kevin Gausman.
