Luis Rubiales, classy guy. Here he's celebrating with his beloved gonads during the Spain-England World Cup final. People around him pretend to ignore him.

Just found The French Connection on a small TV channel, Talking Pictures TV. Can’t stop watching this movie. The cat-and-mouse game between Gene Hackman and Fernando Rey in the New York underground is unmissable.

Tom Brady retires. Again. For good. Probably.

Maybe it's just me, but I would love to see Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as Elwood and Joliet Jake Blues in an Irish remake of the Blues Brothers

Fast & Furious. Say what you want, but Tokyo Drift is the only one I can watch and rewatch. Roger Ebert wrote "Good, old-fashioned genre filmmaking done in a no-nonsense, unpretentious style". #fastandfurious
