Ron Howard’s Backdraft rules. Consider this cast: Kurt Russell, Robert De Niro, Billy Baldwin, Scott Glenn, and the late Donald Sutherland. Casting doesn’t get better. I’m also partial to stories about firefighters, they usually make for great cinema. Vintage ‘90s filmmaking.

Backdraft is one of my favorite Ron Howard films & I need to know why this film isn’t talked about more. Howard pulls off some great filmmaking here but the casting is this film’s ultimate strength: Robert De Niro, Kurt Russell, Billy Baldwin & the late, great, Donald Sutherland.

Marcus Freeman says caring for players solely to produce better results is manipulation, and genuine love usually produces better results anyway “It’s why you do what you do. I’m a competitive dude. I want to be the best at what I do. But that’s not why I do what I do.” “I truly want to make sure the young people you coach are better football players and better men because they chose to play football at a place you’re the leader of.” “It isn’t about wins and losses as much as…‘I want this young person to be better because of the time we spent together.’ That means caring about him as an individual. Caring about his family.” “You don’t do that for me to win games. But you know what? It helps.” “At times I’m hard on them. But they know I care about them. ‘I love you.’ ‘Now I’m going to get after your ass.’ ‘I’m going to get after you, but I love you.’” “When you feel that way about somebody… That’s when you’ll run through a brick wall.”

Suozzi: When something crazy is being proposed—something outlandish—we need to fight and resist. But when something addresses the concerns of the American people, we need to find common ground and get things done. This isn’t just about the election in 2026 or the election in 2028. It’s about right now. It’s about making people’s lives better now. A lot of people will say, “Well, the Republicans didn’t do that. They didn’t help Biden get things done. They didn’t work across party lines when they controlled the House.” And that’s true. It was the least productive Congress in modern history… But just because that’s what they did doesn’t mean that’s what we should do. It’s not just about winning. It’s about trying to move the country forward, solve problems, and make people’s lives better. This business isn’t worth it for the ego or just for the competition—“I’m right, you’re wrong; I win, you lose.” It’s only worth it if we’re actually making the world a better place to live in. We need to call out the Republicans when they do crazy stuff, when they’re extreme. But we also need to work with them when we can find ways forward to make our country a better place to live in.

Before James Toback's screenplay for "The Gambler" (1974) was accepted by the studio, he had met Robert De Niro on the suggestion of his friend, Lucy Saroyan who said that "De Niro was a genius & the only actor on earth who was going to be as great as Marlon Brando". Immediately, Toback set up a meeting with him & both of their visions matched the character. De Niro started to become the character after reading the script in real life by dressing and having the same haircut. He started to mimic most of the writer's characteristics. After Karel Reisz agreed to direct the movie, Toback made changes to the screenplay, which he said made it a "Widely expanded and deepened movie". Reisz interviewed Richard Dreyfus and Chris Sarandon and others for the lead role, but inexplicably resisted meeting De Niro. Finally, he agreed to meet De Niro after relentless pressure but insisted that Toback should not come for the dinner meet. Toback spoke to De Niro, who told Toback to call him after speaking with Reisz after the meeting. Reisz called Toback and firmly said, “Jim, I want to make your movie. And I want you — I need you — to be with me every day until the end. In fact, I can’t make this movie without you. But if you are going to insist on my using De Niro I will not make the movie.” Toback, who was stunned, replied, “He’s the guy! How can you not see that?” Reisz said, "I’m sorry. I won’t discuss it. He’s simply wrong for the part. He has the wrong temperament." While Toback kept on pressuring, Reisz harshly said, "If you continue trying to persuade me, I’ll have to resign from the movie tomorrow. We can talk about anything else. I will not talk about him." Toback told De Niro what had occurred. An agitated De Niro replied, "Jim, the guy didn’t even let me read. You’ve gotta get him to let me read.” De Niro kept pressuring Toback and asked him to insist that he the movie won't work well without De Niro & to inform Reisz that Toback won't work on the movie if De Niro isn't allowed to read for the part. He felt that Reisz was just bluffing about quitting the movie. Finally, De Niro said, "I’ll tell you something else. The changes you made are all wrong. He got you to turn a great script into something not nearly as good." ("James Toback On 'The Gambler' Remake: “Not Possible… Rudeness And Disrespect”", Nikki Finke, Deadline, 2011) P.S: Remembering the great Czech born British filmmaker, Karel Reisz, on his 100th birthday!

#KimHyeYoon was brought up in this YouTube video as an example of an actress who successfully auditioned and got cast without an agency (for SKY Castle). They were talking about rookie actors and how not having an agency can make it harder to get casting opportunities because there are fewer channels through which they can be contacted. But they also pointed out that having an agency does not automatically guarantee success. That’s when Kim Hyeyoon was mentioned. The host said that, as far as he knew, she auditioned for SKY Castle without an agency and got cast, showing that talented actors can still get opportunities even without agency representation. Just some additional information: Kim Hyeyoon landed the role of Kang Yeseo in SKY Castle out of 200 people who auditioned. Note: The person on the right is a casting director with 27 years of experience. As for the person on the left, I’m sorry, I'm not familiar with who he is, but I assume he’s also someone who works in the industry.

If you enjoy good, meaningful cinema, keep an eye out for Prahaar, not the old Nana Patekar one, though that's a great movie too, but an upcoming courtroom drama about 26/11 starring Rajkummar Rao. Courtroom dramas in India usually get way too loud and melodramatic, but this one feels surprisingly grounded. Rajkummar Rao is playing Ujjwal Nikam, and you can tell he didn't rely on cheap prosthetics that make actors look like clowns. He actually looks the part naturally, having apparently gained 15 kg for the role, and also catching the Marathi accent well. We all know the broad strokes of what happened during 26/11, but we rarely get to see the actual legal battle that went down inside the courtroom to prove the larger conspiracy. While making movies about important historical events is happening a lot nowadays, it is more important to make them well. Most of these films in the past have missed the mark. They usually ruin the story with forced drama, over-the-top nationalism, unnecessary songs, bad prosthetics, and weak casting, but this one looks sorted.

I hope everyone had a great Australia Day. For me this day is all about gratitude to our forefathers regardless of their background, for the sacrifices they’ve made to make this country so great. That’s why People First members are so determined to make sure our children get the same opportunities our forefathers gave to us. A better life for our children is the vision that defines us as a party. We want to do that by lifting taxes on profits sent offshore, cutting income tax on hard working Australians, take back control of our currency through better monetary policy, slash government waste especially bureaucrats pension schemes, subsidies for renewables and NDIS/super rorts. We want to also bring back the military apprenticeship scheme and grow the military engineering corps to start building infrastructure again that will provide essential services and pay for schools and hospitals. If you want to see more of our solutions and vision to get Australia heading in the right direction then please check out for our policies and please consider signing up today.

Big Thanks to GBNews/FreeSpeechNation and Josh Howie for using the platform to put out the alarm about St Mark’s Church in Southend hosting a “Binder Swap” event with a session about “Medical Transitioning”. I’m grateful to everyone who’s made a noise about this including Julie Bindel who was really supportive about sounding the alarm on this. I’m also grateful to everyone who wrote letters to the relevant safeguarding authorities after I posted about it - We definitely made an impact as late on Friday night the church Vicar made a post declaring the event to be 18+ (obviously not everyone got the memo because they had to stick a note on the door on the day too). Additionally, a reporter went to the event on the day, and was told by the Vicar that there was “no binder swap”. but also saw a man with a big bag of binders turn up to the event! I personally don’t think a vicar should be lying about such a thing… …We all saw the poster, and that man with the bag full of binders was there for a reason! I think it’s egregious that a Christian church (Church of England) is trying to get away with what I consider to be gr00ming for “Trans” ideology. Anyway, great to see this story get airtime 🙏

Scott Jennings: Let me make sure I understand. This deranged, anti-ICE leftist tries to blow up the federal office in New York today, and that’s Donald Trump’s fault...” Liberal CNN Panel: “Nobody said that!” Scott Jennings: “You just gave a long speech about it. Joe Biden doesn’t enforce immigration laws, and that’s Donald Trump’s fault. I’m trying to identify the end of the choose your own adventure book, where it doesn’t end with it’s Donald Trump’s fault.” “They did not enforce the law. And you know who will tell you that? Anybody that works for ICE today will tell you when they were working there under Biden, they were told not to enforce immigration law.” “We haven’t passed any new laws. Today, we had the 14th straight month of no releases at the border. The border is closed. Not a single new law was passed. The only difference is the feds are enforcing longstanding existing law.” “And you have Democrats now demonizing the people enforcing it. And you have people like this lunatic showing up trying to blow up the federal building. That’s what’s happening.”

Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word. So to lock myself into that decision, I give it to him before I finish writing it. And then now comes the time to do it. Robert De Niro reads it, and he wants to be in it, but he wants to play Max. And I go, “Well, look, you would be a fantastic Max, but I’ve already given that to Robert Forster, and I’m a man of my word. I can’t take it back.” Now, De Niro is very much a man of his word, so he understands that. He gets that. And he’s just like, “Yeah, yeah. That’s just disappointing. It’s just regretful.” I go, “What?” “Well, just because, you know, you were thinking about him, so you wrote it for him. But if we had had more dinners and hung out a little bit more, then you would have been thinking about me and you would have written it for me. And I understand what happened, but that could have been changed if we had spent more time with each other before this.” And so he kind of gives me the – “just think about it for a couple of days, all right? - and then let’s talk again. Maybe Bob (Robert Foster) could play Louis, the other guy.” So then I actually have Bob read Louis with me, and then read Max. And if that could work, maybe that could work. But no, everything that made him perfect for Max made him wrong for Louis. And so I get on the phone with De Niro — and I go, “Yeah, you know, I explored that. But no, everything about him that makes him perfect for Max makes him wrong to play this ex-convict guy.” And he goes, “Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that, I get that, I get that. Okay, so tell me about this Louis character.” And I go, “You would consider playing Louis?” “Yeah, it’s a good character. It’s a good movie. I wanna be part of it. It’s a good character. I wanted the other character, but yeah, this is a good character. I’d be happy to play it.” I go, “Well, you didn’t let me know that before.” He goes, “Well, I didn’t wanna let you off the hook. I wanted you on the hook. But now if that ship has sailed, then let’s talk about Louis.” And then it was a done deal.”

I’m sorry y’all, but as a real, true, authentic New Yorker… I just can’t get with this Mamdani grift. One year you’re naming Tom Thibodeau when asked to name a current Knick. The next year you’re giving a Knicks championship speech like you’ve been living and breathing Knicks basketball your entire life. And to be fair, it was a good speech. He’s a talented speaker. He’s a great orator. But that’s exactly why I’m skeptical. Because the most effective politicians know how to make themselves feel familiar. They learn what people care about. They learn the language. They learn the culture. And then they wrap themselves in it. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Zohran Mamdani has been the biggest Knicks fan in New York this entire time. But as a real, true, authentic New Yorker, something about this doesn’t feel organic to me. It feels manufactured. It feels calculated. It feels like branding. Watch the clips and judge for yourself.

Régis Le Bris, Sunderland head coach, doesn’t set points objectives…he doesn’t have expectations…especially with such a new team… Watch the video and decide for yourself. With relation to what he’s saying…I’m not a big one for setting outcome objectives. Sport psychology is know for its work in goal setting - as a sport psychologist I rarely ask clients to consider outcomes. We know we want to win…we know we want to earn as many points as possible…we know we want great outcomes… So why bother to set them… They can also tend to get in the way in sport. “I want to win three times this season”…but what if you get half way through the season and you haven’t won once? What does that mean to your internal narrative now? What might that do to your stress levels? Outcomes are neither here nor there. We all want great outcomes. We need to be students of performance and process…

Régis Le Bris, Sunderland head coach, doesn’t set points objectives…he doesn’t have expectations…especially with such a new team… Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Today I’m starting from zero again. This morning, I officially launched the Timeless Traveler on YouTube. Two videos are live, and I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time writing about places worth visiting, the history behind them, and the stories that make travel more interesting. X gave me a place to share those stories. Substack gave me a place to dive deeper. But there was always another piece I wanted to build....YouTube. Some stories are just better when you can see them. The streets. The landscapes. The old photographs. The maps. The buildings that have been standing for hundreds of years. The little details that make you stop and think, I need to see this place for myself. That’s what I’m building. The Timeless Traveler channel will focus on travel documentaries about interesting places around the world. Not just lists of things to do. I want to show you why a place is worth caring about in the first place. The history, the people, the strange stories and the things you might walk right past if nobody told you they were there. I’m sharing the first documentary with this post so you can watch it right here on X. If you enjoy it, I’d love for you to head over to YouTube, subscribe to the channel and check out the second documentary. I’ll put the link below. The plan from here is to publish two new videos every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have no idea how quickly the channel will grow, and that’s part of what makes this fun. I’ve built audiences on X and Substack, but on YouTube I’m back at zero. New platform.....new skills to learn. A lot to figure out. I’m starting at zero, but the goal is 100,000 subscribers by this time next year. I have no idea how long it’ll take to get there. That’s fine. I’m going to keep publishing, learn what works and get better with every video. If you watch this first one, let me know what you think. New platform. Same mission. Helping people discover places worth remembering.

Everything about what the Biden campaign did this morning was absolutely hilarious. They decided it would be great idea to show that Biden isn't involved in prosecuting his political opponent by having a press conference outside the NYC courtroom where they also got the date wrong on their media advisory. Their "special guests" were lunatic actor Robert De Niro wearing a mask on an 80 degree spring day four years after covid, one unhinged capitol police officer who lied about everything that happened to him on J6, and another one best known for hitting on 20 year old girls at DC bars. They spent the whole thing getting drowned out by Trump supporters yelling "FJB" and they had to answer questions such as "is Trump a threat to all these wars Biden has gotten us in." Overall a 10/10 morning.

President Donald Trump called the Supreme Court's emergency order on mail-in voting "a great ruling for the Republican Party" on Thursday. The court's ruling earlier this week allows the Trump administration to proceed with an executive order that directs the U.S. Postal Service to determine which voters should receive mail-in ballots. The executive order also directs the Department of Homeland Security to build a database of U.S. citizens who are eligible voters. PBS News White House correspondent Liz Landers (Liz Landers) asked the president about what the ruling means for states like North Carolina, where mail-in ballots are due to be sent out next week. "North Carolina is great. It's a great place. I won it all three times. They do some mail-in ballots, but basically they ruled on the legitimacy and the way we want to make them legitimate," Trump said. "It was a great ruling for the Republican Party." Despite his criticism of – and false claims about – mail-in voting, Trump has cast votes by mail several times in Florida elections.

One of my goals when I decided to expand the concept of the Sweet Baby Inc. detected curator page on Steam was also to help promote good developers that understood and agreed with the message that we gamers, the ones that buy their products, deserve respect and also good games without being lectured on real life political ideologies. The very first one that I RECOMMENDED on my curator page was The Great Rebellion, a game made by the Kvltgames - Wishlist Dverghold on Steam! guys, and these guys are now working on a new project Hyper Rebellion: Blood & Circuits is the name of their next game. Basically it's a horde shooter bin classic isometric top down style that looks straight from the 90s like Fallout 2 and Diablo, but with guns! (which in my opinion make things much better, if you ask me) Kvltgames - Wishlist Dverghold on Steam! is a 100% self-funded indie team, just a bunch gamers doing what they love: making video games, and they got no publisher, no compromises and always guaranteed DEI-free. They are going through a crowdfunding campaign right now for 45 days. Currently they are pushing for €10k as the next partial goal, with a final goal of €45k - all the donated funds will be used for the game development, doesn’t matter how much the campaign raise in the end.

🚨NEW: Victor Davis Hanson PRAISES Trump's strategy of driving Dems bonkers🚨 "He doesn’t care. He thinks, 'I’m only here one term. How do I get back at those people for all the things they did to me?'” “'I know what I’ll do this week: I’ll say I’m going to invade Panama.' 'Oh my God!'" "'Well, that didn’t last long. Maybe I’ll say that I’ll make Canada the 51st state.' 'Oh my God!'" “'How about invading Greenland? I got a better idea — I’m going to run for a third term.'" "He’s not going to do any of that, but he wants to make them go insane. And that’s what they’re doing." "And you know what? I wouldn’t do that. And if I was president right now, the Democrats would probably have a 40%. He’s president and he’s got them down to 23% — because he understands their mentality and what makes them go nuts. And when they go nuts, they show who they are. And they’re absolutely blank blank crazy." Daily Caller
