This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

You know on some level the current Great Detective (Benoit Blanc) being someone who debuted on the silver screen rather than the page is something that you don't see often

Rian Johnson joining the likes of Raymond Chandler or Agatha Christie whilst being primarily a filmmaker is wild

Please forgive me for sharing my Spotify Wrapped, but I was in the top 0.1% of Shostakovich listeners on that app this year. I...don't know how to feel about that.

Harrison Ford gets you Apocalypse Now and some other films; Alec Guinness gets you Star Wars and a few others
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

Frank Oz gets you basically all of the Star Wars, Muppets, and Sesame Street movies, plus a bunch of others, including Blues Brothers, Labyrinth, and Knives Out.

I’ll break it down another way:

If wait and you don’t get it, the game is over

If you try now and don’t get it, you need two scores

What’s better?

the transfer fees are a meaningful part of what pays the wages of all the players down the table, you can calculate the "trickle down" of league net spend

the reason top end wages are comparatively low is that there are so many more pro soccer players

it's not that this money isn't being paid to Declan Rice and just eaten by owners, it's that this money is being paid to dozens of pros who would be car salesmen in the US

it's funny to compare to soccer wages sometimes

this is £435k/wk

Two years ago tonight, the Pistons lost their 13th game in a row, part of a franchise-worst 28-game losing streak.

Tonight, they won their 13th game in a row, tied for the longest win streak in franchise history.

So much of basketball is knowing who you are gonna play with and knowing that those players will be where they are supposed to be. Consistency and reliability.

Under talented teams will overachieve if they can just know what they are doing and who they are doing it with 🔂

Again, it's honestly a really good bit that the team is getting revenge on Nico ruining a once in a lifetime team because "defense wins championship" by proving that's wrong

Not quite the brief, but one of the best things you can learn to do with cooking is "what do I do with leftovers" and fried rice is a traditional option.

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
