I love the @AUTOMATmovie so much. As a native New Yorker, I love seeing an important piece of history of my city. I was nearly two years old when the last Automat closed down, so I never had the chance to enjoy the delicious food there. #TheAutomat #HornandHardart #Nickels #TCM
Even if you have never stepped inside of one, seeing images of an Automat will trigger feelings of nostalgia. @AutomatMovie explores the history behind Horn & Hardart as well as its cultural influence.
Director Lisa Hurwitz joins us for its TCM premiere tonight at 8pm ET.

this whole match is perfect for what it sets out to do. re-establish goldberg and make lesnar as vulnerable as he's ever been in his second run, and it succeeded.
the crowd lose their minds over every move by goldberg and after the pinfall, which just makes this more perfect.

#RIP Stacy Keach....although known to later audiences as "Mike Hammer", he was a tremendously accomplished classically trained stage actor, and his performances in various Shakespearean roles earned him some of the highest critical praise of his distinguished acting career.

Dave really likes this narrative, and really wants people to believe it. However, it is complete nonsense, beyond Dave admitting that his issues with Jim all revolve around Jim not celebrating Dave's favorites that way Dave wants him to.
We will break this down with facts on the next Drive Thru.
Also, the Young Bucks were never stars in Japan.
Meltzer Omnibus rolling in to town this December!
The reality is this. Many years ago he decided the Young Bucks & Kenny Omega (and they weren't the only ones) would never make it in wrestling. Them making it in Japan led to Japan no longer counting. Them making it in PWG meant he complained about one comedy spot (and every promotion does comedy spots dating back to the 50s and earlier) and thus missing that the talent of the future was developing there and it was the forefront of an in-ring style that was entertaining to many by mixed styles, including Lucha, a style that had not been done much in the U.S. but had tremendous mainsteam appeal and was going to be more prevalent in the U.S. This was because YouTube was opening the door and the Mexican-American population was growing and younger fans liked the pacing and creativity. Then one day Omega had one of the best matches in history and the guy wanted to throw away decade long friendships and respect from a lot of wrestlers because there are things he is really perceptive about and has a good basic history knowledge and is very entertaining. But because he was insistent Omega could never be a star, now main eventing the Tokyo Dome stopped counting. He held onto that he couldn't make it in the U.S. Then he did, so he had to take the tact it didn't actually happen and that it was only becacuse he was pushed by a "mark" owner of a failing concept and business and he wasn't over. I was wrong about Orange Cassidy. I hated the idea that Jim Ross would have to announce an Orange Cassidy match. But then it got over, people started dressing like him, and people I'd meet on the streets would tell me how he was one of their favorite wrestlers. So I learned. Didn't cry about it. Didn't pretend he wasn't over. I already knew he was a good worker, I knew that from seeing him on indies. So there's your answer.

Muhammad Ali had beaten Joe Frazier in their rematch, but their third fight in 1975 became a battle neither man would ever forget.
Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier III Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines. October 1, 1975.
Ali entered at 48–2 (35 KOs), while Frazier was 32–2 (27 KOs), with Ali’s WBA and WBC heavyweight titles on the line.
The heat inside the arena was brutal. Frazier kept pressing forward, digging into Ali’s body and forcing him into exhausting exchanges. Ali answered with sharp combinations, gradually closing Frazier’s left eye as the rounds wore on.
After fourteen punishing rounds, Eddie Futch refused to send Frazier out for the fifteenth. Ali retained his titles, but he was so exhausted that he collapsed onto his stool after the fight.
The Thrilla in Manila showed just how much these two men were willing to endure.

Ethel Clayton,#BOTD was a hugely popular early silent film star.. whose beauty, elegance and talent made her a familiar presence during Hollywood's earliest years. Like so many actresses of her generation, the advent of sound brought changing fortunes, and as the industry transformed, her stardom faded ....and she was reduced to taking small uncredited parts...Her total films near 180, but today she is largely forgotten, another of the many talented performers whose names once graced the screen but whose careers have become a distant echo of Hollywood's silent era.

This was Muhammad Ali at the absolute peak of his powers.
Against Cleveland Williams, Ali delivered one of the most complete heavyweight performances ever witnessed. His speed, footwork, reflexes and combination punching were simply ridiculous.
Williams came in as a dangerous puncher, but Ali never allowed him to establish any rhythm. Every time Williams tried to close the distance, Ali was already out of range or landing combinations before he could respond.
The head movement was beautiful, the footwork was effortless, and the hand speed was on another level. Ali wasn’t just avoiding punches; he was making an experienced heavyweight look completely lost.
Four knockdowns later, the referee had seen enough.
This wasn’t just a victory. It was a masterclass in speed, movement, timing and ring intelligence.
At 24, Muhammad Ali made heavyweight boxing look almost too easy. This is why his prime remains one of the hardest standards for any fighter to match.
