Dodgers (Finally) Win the World Series

-

At long last, #Dodgers (& #TommyLasorda) have their #WorldSeries!

True story: *Way* back when, Ma and Baba decamped for this mythical land called Los Estados Unidos(👍Duolingo) leaving my sister and me with our grandparents (we *definitely* got the better end of that bargain!). Among the exotic presents they brought back for us (which included toys from a movie I had never heard of, something called #StarWars?!) was a cap (back then hats to us were of the Western kind, the movie genre that is, not, ya know, *the* "West") with "LA" on it. Man, I loved that thing…wore it *all* the time, for *years*, but it was only after I finally came to this "LA" that I realised it wasn't just an "LA" cap, no, it was actually a…*Dodgers* cap. I'd been a fan all along and I didn't even know it!

#LATogether (finally) behind a manager's pitching decision 😂!

That bullpen: #Floro, #AlexWood(where's he been🤩?!), #Graterol(😂), #VictorGonzalez & *esp* #Urias👊

So happy for the new kid who made this all happen: #Mookie(thank you, you awful Red Sox)!

So happy for the mainstays: #DaveRoberts, #Seager(#MVP), #Bellinger, #Joc, #Kenley, #JustinTurner(😬😳)!

So happy for the priceless contributors: #Muncy, #AustinBarnes, #ChrisTaylor, (the no-longer-other)#WillSmith, #Kike.

So happy for the young pitching studs: #Buehler(…Buehler? Buehler?🤓) & #DustinMay!

But, happiest of all for the guy who's been giving it his *all* for *all* these years: the one, the only, #Clayton #Kershaw...this one's for you🙂!

PS. So happy they got another one for: #VinScully

#Voyagers Good, clean #LordOfTheFlies YA poli-sci-fi fun. Expert craftsmanship, especially when you consider the budget for indie-sci-fi's. Beautiful work by the DP(well-lit scenes so you don't have to squint, imagine that?, and those richly saturated colours!), composer(not resorting to easy sci-fi tropes), and esp the drool-worthy production design(that, too, on a budget!). And, to top it all off, expert sound design by Hsu, the hardest-working (sound)man in the indie film biz👏! And the kids?, well, they're certainly all right, highlighted by a terrific villain in Whitehead, kid's a keeper. - - - #NeilBurger #PaulHsu #ScottChambliss #EnriqueChediak #TrevorGureckis #FionnWhitehead #TyeSheridan #LilyRoseDepp(#VanessaParadis's kid!, boy time moves fast😳!) #ChanteAdams #ViveikKalra(#BlindedByTheLight!) #IsaacHempsteadWright(#GoT!) #ColinFarrell(yes, that CF, be still TBH's beating heart!) @voyagersfilm @lionsgate @neil.burger

The Dog (2014) .

#TBT so how about a #Throwback Movie? 😁 #TheDog (2014) One of those headspinning truth-is-stranger-than-fiction-way-stranger stories that the good documentaries, uh, spin so very well. If "The Dog" weren't a real person, you'd have to make him up! You always hear that tagline, right?, the [blank] was only the beginning…that was never truer here. I mean, yeah, we've all seen #DogDayAfternoon, but there's so much more that happened before..and after😲. Wojtowicz himself is a terrific character, and kudos to the documentarians for digging beneath that charismatic, seemingly-fun surface to hint at the darkness beneath. And, kudos, also, for giving a showcase to his mom, a star in her own right! And how about all that early gay rights activism footage…real eye-opening stuff. An informative, absorbing, entertaining documentary about a quintessential New York character. - - - #AllisonBerg #FrankKeraudren #JohnWojtowicz #TheresaWojtowicz #Sidn

#WolfWalkers Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful! The kind of intelligent, layered, nervewrack/heartwarm/thoughtprovok-ing, non-1000-gags-per-minute-headache inducing kid's film you don't see too often these days. Let's start with that eye-watering, beautiful, lyrical, artwork (I'm not an art major, but looks like they do lotsa interesting stuff with perspectives🤔?). Every frame is one of those, uh, frame-worthy efforts, inspired by those awesome woodcut-type stuff I used to see at my Aunt's place, contrasting with the magical, mythical forests(like I said, I'm not an art major…TL;DR: it's *beautiful*!). There's a lesson in there for all of us: never let budget, or lack thereof, stand in your way! Speaking of lessons, dude, this film has *all* the allegory(?metaphor? unlike Kornheiser, I wasn't an English major😁) you can handle, especially for a kid's film(actually, all the good ones have some layer of subtext, right?). "Into your
