If you grew up a ’90s bro, as I did, you’ve been looking forward to David Fincher’s “The Killer” ever since Netflix posted the trailer. “The Killer” makes a return to Fincher’s cinematic roots, reuniting him with “Seven” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker and featuring an endless number of quotable, “Fight Club”-esque bro koans throughout the main character’s narration. Also: lots of people die horribly in it. This is the kind of movie that I pretend I’ve grown out of, but very much have not. “The…

I bet you Niners fans are feeling quite chesty right now, aren’t you? Yesterday, your team acquired Commanders edge rusher and former No. 2 overall pick Chase Young for essentially nothing. All you had to give up for the man was a compensatory third round pick, one that could replenish itself if Young leaves town when his contract expires at the end of this season. So, you just got a free one-year rental on a guy who was as promising a draft prospect as his new teammate, Nick Bosa, was. And you’…

The downside of the NCAA allowing college football players to make money off their names, images and likenesses (or NIL) is that we, the people, have been deprived of the trumped-up NCAA infraction scandals that have imbued the sport with so much shady character over its life span. Who can forget SMU receiving the mythical “death penalty” back in 1987? Or USC’s Reggie Bush getting his Heisman repossessed because his agent let his parents rent a house for free? Or Florida State, aka Free Shoes Un…

I went to a screening of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” a week ago and have thought about it a great deal ever since. I think about the bodies. I think about Scorsese’s camera exploring every square inch of the Osage Nation in the early 20th century: the mucky streets, packed houses, desolate jail cells. I think about Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart wheezing, “You’re next” to her husband while in a fit of delirium. I think about Robert De Niro’s character’s wire-rimmed glasses t…

When we last left future NFL Hall of Famer and self-conferred Ph.D. in homeopathy Aaron Rodgers, he was making his triumphant debut as quarterback for the New York Jets, only to have his evening tragically cut short by a ruptured Achilles tendon that he suffered on New York’s opening possession. I lamented Rodgers’ injury on this site because I’m occasionally a decent person and because I don’t like having to watch Zach Wilson play QB any more than you do. But the REAL reason to be heartbroken o…

The Supreme Court convened last week for its fall term, a prospect that now elicits more dread in the average liberal than 90-degree days in October. Because when we last left this Supreme Court, it had abolished affirmative action for college admissions, killed President Joe Biden’s already meager student loan forgiveness plan, gutted the Clean Water Act, and granted a Colorado web designer the right to deny making wedding sites for gay couples, even though the plaintiff in question had never…

The trailers for “The Creator” make it look like the kind of science-fiction movie you’ve seen before — and many times. Here’s a movie with a fairly anodyne title and a story involving yet another Important Child. And all of it comes under the banner of “From The Director Of ‘Rogue One.’” Oh, you mean Gareth Edwards, the guy who was benched by Disney at the end of production on that very film? The same. So you can see why box office prospects for “The Creator,” going into its opening weekend, h…

This could all end in a matter of days. Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders takes his men to play Oregon in Eugene on Saturday afternoon. Oregon is currently favored by three touchdowns over a Buffaloes team that’s small, missing one of its best players, and perhaps a bit worn out after spending the past month as the toast of not just college football, but of the entire sports world. If Oregon drubs Colorado as predicted, then the entire Coach Prime media industrial complex will nosedive.…
