I wanted to be Ebert when I grew up, having watched near weekly throughout my childhood. I learned bits & pieces about movies I might never see or held them in memory for future viewing when I was older. (I’ll never forget seeing “Easy Reader from The Electric Company in their Street Smart review).
50 years ago this week, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made the first pilot for their TV show. In honor of this huge anniversary, I created my definitive “Best of Siskel & Ebert” article - 50 of their best reviews from across their entire career. 👍🏻👍🏻

Qualified for #SFB15 playoffs AND our cats didn’t wake me for food until after 5 AM for the first time since daylight saving?

Best Tuesday morning ever!

Forty-one years after 1984 and 37 years after 1988, Kirk Gibson is in the midst of his biggest October yet.

Here’s how Parkinson’s disease changed a World Series legend. And here’s how the new Kirk Gibson Center is helping change lives.

Ten years into his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Kirk Gibson is still changing lives in October
Gibson's most famous moment came 37 years ago this month. Now he's leading another team towards a very different goal.

Every year we hear feedback that “This is the worst season of #SNL ever.”

And for many years, I’ve countered with returning cast still giving their all in hilarious sketches or new talent emerging, aided by writing that remained clever and original.

Not anymore. We’re at rock bottom in S51.

Recently I went down a very deep Internet rabbit hole trying to find the strangest and most random action figures based on Hollywood actors. This is what I found. The pictures ... well, they’re very troubling in some cases.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

a poll idea that just popped into my head: since we've collectively been doing 90's nostalgia for awhile as a culture, what's your secret/stealth best 90's album? not something necessarily widely super critically beloved but is nonetheless great and defining for you?

Bought a new pair of khakis for work.

Can’t stop seeing 90s Gap commercials in my head…

Watching Idiocracy for the first time on Hulu.

I sometimes can’t tell if the commercials are part of the movie without the timer countdown in the top right corner…
