in case you needed any evidence of the bookers worthlessness etc. apparently the lit world is just going to keep running with this trash till the wheels fall off.
other than publication announcements this is likely my last comment here. seems fitting.

eastwoods directing career—starting with million dollar baby hes got a 16 film / 20 year stretch that rivals any director ever. and he finishes with a piece that approaches the moral complexity of melvilles billy budd—about as high a compliment as i can imagine giving.
went to bed thinking about it & woke up thinking about it. eastwood drops the last of his cynicism and bitterness and even his wry smile and takes a final look at the heart of america and finds truth beauty goodness and second chances everywhere.
if juror #2 is playing anywhere near you you should go watch it. (it should have been playing everywhere in america.) what a clean beautiful intense deceptively simple film. im not sure we will ever see a film like this again. a final masterful note from a master of the form.

that shot of tysons ass instantly became a great american moment/meme. its just what greatness does. it does great shit.
the true loser last night was logan paul and his juvenile response to tyson. he failed to understand that the time for talking shit was over and the time for respect & congrats had begun. the ultimate beauty of sports is they expose our souls—and logan pauls is fkn dumb.
