20 great movies from the past 20 years: Eega You will believe a man can (be a) fly

My countdown of 20 great movies from the past 20 years continues with Eega, my favorite movie from RRR director S.S. Rajamouli. It has one of the most ludicrous premises you'll ever find, and is as entertaining as movies get. You will believe a man can (be a) fly pvguide.ghost.io/eega-movie-r...

Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.

She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

Zaror is an inspiring independent film artist/action god. Enjoyed this peek into his process. Wrote a bit about Affinity in my Big Bad Film Fest coverage: oldnew.substack.com/p/dtv-action...

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.
