As a Rockets fan, in ‘94 I rooted against his team. But tonight I am so happy for Spike Lee. A genius behind the camera, a legend courtside. All the banter. The Reggie Miller moments. His lifelong devotion through so many tough years - a true sports fanatic and ambassador for the NBA.

Kathleen Kennedy was a wonderful custodian for Star Wars; she attracted brilliant talent, supervised several amazing projects, continued LucasFilm's tradition of innovation, & had the balls to massively course-correct, saving Rogue One & Solo. I fear her replacement will be someone far less skilled.

Rick Rubin should continue the AMERICAN album series originally featuring Johnny Cash to extend with Eddie Vedder on vocals. They could do an entire volume of Tom Petty songs to relaunch and it’d be incredible.

Rob Reiner brought so much joy, wonder & laughter to the world. Meathead vs Archie, the Stand By Me kids, Misery's sledgehammer to the ankle, "You can't handle the truth," "I'll have what she's having," "My name is Inigo Montoya," & so many more. He lived a life turned to 11. He'll be sorely missed.

IS TED OK? is a WILD ride; entirely original yet resonates with the madness of contemporary life in ways I haven't seen any comics do near this well. If you put NETWORK, THEY LIVE, BLACK MIRROR in a blender, then snorted DMT with Grant Morrison, you'd be halfway to where IS TED OK? sends you.

MLB fans who want the system's problems "solved" by bottom-tier owners spending more are advocating for a business competition between billionaires. I'd rather see baseball outcomes decided on baseball fields, not on spreadsheets. Equitable talent distribution increases on-field competitiveness.

The late night hosts should team up, Avengers style. Colbert, Kimmel, Stewart, Conan, and Letterman -- they'd all only have to work 1 day a week. Don't align with any broadcaster. Buy the Ed Sullivan theater, own the show, put it online.

Robert Redford could pivot from morose to incandescent in a fraction of a second via the smallest gesture. He knew how to deploy his charisma to serve film. As a director, he synthesized his experiences to guide several films with incredible cinematography & psychologically rich performances.

The way the tech sector used to work was creative/innovative people made something great then afterward the business douchebags ruined it, but now the d-bags insist on ruining from inception.

Jay Leno: you chose to kiss the ass of G.E., ignore the growing polarization, and avoid the Iraq War…. those WERE political choices. You ARE a political comedian. And your politics is “whatever makes me rich, fuck everything else.” Bill Hicks saw right through you. And deep down, you know it too.
