I know times have changed, but when people get all worked up over early practices and scrimmages, I remind myself the '85 Bears went 1-3 in the preseason...but still had a pretty good year.


Thunderlips was one of the most memorable one-scene characters of the 20th century. #HulkHoganRIP


Great fare for a hot summer night: "American Graffiti," "Body Heat," "Do the Right Thing," "A Time to Kill."




The decorative thermometer knows what it really feels like—way more than the weather app ever will.


New podcast is up! A look at the history of the American late-night talk show, plus my review of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." Hope you'll give it a listen. 🎙️❤️ americaneagle.com/insights/studi…
“While closer to 8:30, Rick and Cliff went to the Valley Mexican restaurant landmark Casa Vega, on Ventura…”

I’ll sleep this winter. Gonna soak up every minute of a perfect summer night.
Dodgers organist Dieter Ruehle plays “Paranoid” between pitches. ⚾️🦇🎤#RIPOzzy
“Kong: Skull Island” often played like “Apocalypse Ape,” but it was great fun, and Ozzy belting out “Paranoid” with Black Sabbath was perfect for this star-studded sequence. #RIP
“Iron Man,” “School of Rock,” “Dazed and Confused,” “Almost Famous,” “Fargo” Season 2, “Dexter: Resurrection,” to name just a few times when Ozzy’s piercing vocals made a soundtrack soar. RIP to the legend.
Disaster/Superhero Movie Law: The employment rate in the Rebuilding Manhattan industry has been 100% for nearly a century. As soon as you finish one massive project, there's a new one to start!




"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" follows the Superhero Movie Law that says 82% of intergalactic villains are graduates of the James Earl Jones Booming Voice Academy. Also, they're so busy trying to destroy the universe, they rarely have a personal life. Find some balance, man!

Pro tip for home streaming night for you youngsters out there: Put your popcorn in a cereal bowl and eat it with a spoon. You’ll scoop up all the buttery goodness from the bottom—and avoid those dreaded Oily Remote Fingers.

Oh come on, PCA! I bruised my right knee playing 16-inch softball on Saturday, yet I'm still gonna make it to the screening of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" tonight. #SameDifference 😂🤣
#Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong is dealing with a bruised right knee and is not in the starting lineup tonight.
It seems inevitable that every high-profile murder case from the 1980s and 1990s will eventually receive the true-crime documentary treatment. Tragically, the archive of material is vast.
