Fascinating, if harrowing, double-feature today: The strong A REAL PAIN, concerning a sort of homeland return by a pair of Jewish cousins to Poland; and the tragic Palestinian doc NO OTHER LAND, about Israel’s systematic destruction of West Bank villagers’ homes. #PFF

THE BRUTALIST: Exists simultaneously as a sweeping, post-war immigration treatise; and as a canny meta-metaphor of the difficulty and cost of artistic achievement. “Is there a better description of a cube other than its own creation?” #pff

Seated for THE BRUTALIST, and had to make a hard choice between a seat with less cushion but more legroom, or the opposite. Opted for legroom, but we’ll see how that plays out over the next 215 minutes. #pff

ALIEN: ROMULUS: I realize I’m exceptionally hard on ALIEN films, and really couldn’t take Scott’s prequels, but this is the other side of that coin — there is virtually nothing here other than some pretty shots. It’s got the weight of a bag of packing peanuts.

I love how every TV sports pundit always has to over-emphasize the $$ amount of a new contract: “four and a half MILLION dollars.” Like, what do we think they got paid, $450 bucks?

Gut feeling reaction to #sixers: It's another past-his-prime former all-star (a la Webber, and Brand) coming here for the big $$ as a swansong. He's still a very good player, but I'm super-unsure if this move is putting Philly in actual contention. Much more work to do.

One of the depressing aspects of being a songwriter is realising that you’ll never write ‘Life On Mars’.

Deeply emotional at this news. A gifted genius of a writer and a genuinely great human being. So happy for @JustinCChang latimes.com/entertainment-…

I’m really glad I got a new heart for this series.

Easily the most disgusting element of that game -- and there were SO many -- was the ugly proliferation of Knicks fans at WF. Thanks so much #sixers season tix holders who decided to make some bucks instead of rooting for their team. Nice job; good effort.
