Curious, did you learn that from the Sun Valley Serenade Wikipedia page, or some other source? Reason I ask is that I've been curious about who was the skiing stand in for John Payne? I thought it...

Better get that looked at.

Jim Carrey firing on all cylinders - solid gold!

Nice nod to that seminal squickfest Scanners, too!

Have never made it to Sun Valley to ski (yet), but I understand this movie plays on a loop in one of the lodges there. It's an entertaining time capsule, with four bits in particular that make it...

Jimmy Tango's Fat Busters

Horford totally keeping Boston in the game!

The wild inter-game mood swings are now intra.

Was that Tony Robbins sitting by Kerr?!

If I was stuck on a desert island with only one song on loop forever that would probably be it.

This take is pretty nice as well...

I skied these about half my days this past season, and in anything soft, from a couple inches up to full on deep, chewed up crud they were fantastic - love em!

3-2 second set. Game of the match so far!

I’m watching a “live” YouTube vid with scores and play-by-play from someone watching the match off screen. Not much better.

Was just watching The Player last night. Fred Ward has a nice supporting role as Studio Head of Security. Perfectly cast - he's gruffly excellent.

This just in: Norm Macdonald is still dead!

But he has a new standup special coming to Netflix on May 30th!

Read all about it!

Enjoying it as well (through episode 7 so far). Well done, trippy, and pretty cringey at times. Always the possibility it could go down a Lost hole, (like WestWorld), but hopefully that won't happen....

That ^^^ is an amazingly good edit! The soundtrack really works well with the fantastic visual imagery!
