Today is Simchat Torah for @TBSNetwork - when they broadcast the final episode of "Friends," followed immediately by the first episode of "Friends." And so the eternal cycle begins yet again...

This one's for all the lovers of "The Bad News Bears" on its golden anniversary. @CRedRojo @Super70sSports @TheCinesthetic @thomasbeller
On April 7, 1976, "The Bad News Bears" landed in theatres. Here's why, 50 years later, TBNB can take its rightful place as the greatest baseball movie ever made, and a film that stands toe-to-toe with the best films of the 1970s: #TheBadNewsBears50 #TheBadNewsBears 1/37

Yet also note how restrained he and Michael Ritchie are with the musical cues. Whole scenes and sequences are played without any music; and the film plays with extended stillness (sound mixer Gene Cantamessa deserves huge credit for his use of ambient sound.) 26/37
It’s no surprise that Fielding was once on the Hollywood blacklist. Carmen is built on themes of rebellion, passion and immorality, which confused and scandalized French audiences at the time, who were used to moral clarity with virtue rewarded and sin punished. Perfect. 24/37

It has a superior awareness of its mid-70's cultural moment, and because of the authenticity of its characters and the game they play it endures as both the greatest baseball movie ever made, and as a work of legit cinematic art that gains depth and richness over time. 36/37
