LeBron, *and* Lakers, Win 2020 NBA Title! !

-

🤗

A bit of an anti-climax given how nerve-racking the #NBAFinals had been so far, but ya know, at this stage in my life, my heart is thankful for the night off!

I mean, one second, the #Heat were up, and I slumped into my customary defeatist position on the sofa, and the next…#Rondo and #KCP and #CaruShow ignited a #Lakers run for the ages, and the next thing you know…well, the rest, as they say, is history (despite a slightly nervous Vogel timeout in the fourth quarter when the lead precipitously dipped below 20!).

Congrats to the one, the only, #LeBron for joining #DannyGreen, the great #RobertHorry, and, who can forget, #JohnSalley?, for winning titles with three different teams…of course, he's the only #FinalsMVP from three different teams(for now…until #Kawhi #Djokovic-es himself into that stat!).

Man, LBJ's GM-ing skills are something else, so many essential contributions from the likes of #DwightHoward, #MarkieffMorris, #Kuzma (TBH's fave)…

…and of course, the unstoppable, completely unique, simply unbelievable #AD. Wow, just, wow🤩!

So, in a year that's been difficult(to say the least) for *every*one, at least there's some solace in the fact that, at the most critical of moments, these athletes rose to the occasion and gave us all something to marvel at.

Now, about #JimmyBuckets…yo😳!

#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
