LeBron, In A Lakers Uniform, Doing LeBron Stuff

The Los Angeles Lakers opened their preseason Sunday in San Diego. Who cares! I don’t care. The NBA should shut up for at least another couple weeks. Did they win? Who were their opponents? Who led them in scoring? Don’t care!

On the other hand, LeBron James logged his first (exhibition) game action as a Laker. It didn’t count as a basketball game, but it did count as an opportunity to work on getting used to the sight of LeBron in a Lakers uniform. It still looks weird.

Looks kinda weird!

James played 15 minutes in the first half, then sat out the rest. The bounce pass to Ingram is filth; the effortless, laser-accurate outlet to Josh Hart is classic LeBron; the hairline looks pretty dece. For now.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...

Stevie Wonder, his Musicality, and his Humanity.

#Humanity #Music #SongsintheKeyofLife #StevieWonder " Songs in the Key of Life " To say this Album means Everything to me is an understatement. Throughout his conceptual album, Stevie both sings and writes of Peace, Love, Identity, Faith, Environmental Consciousness, and Cultural Awareness , to name a few. When the album was released, I was ten years old. I spent countless hours reading the liner notes—the lyrics for all the songs. I wanted to know all the people who wrote, sang, played on the album. Much of the album's depth was far too over my head as a ten-year-old, and only a few years later (Lol) do I have a little more understanding of what he was giving us. I've seen Stevie Wonder three times in my life. The first was in church, not long after moving to Los Angeles. The second time while attending Oprah's Farwell show (thanks to my brother Corey & sister in law Carrie), the third time was when my sister Sharon (R.I.P.) bought tickets for all of us ...
