    The first 18 minutes of White Men Can't Jump is the greatest opening to a movie of all time

    As a white man, we never have any idea which way it's going to go with anyone. Could be a bump. Could be quick grasp. Could be a shake. Hell it might even be a low or high. It's like being blind. There should be a sequel to White Men Can't Jump, called White Men Can't Bump.

    I was scrawny, well below 6-foot, and not particularly athletic, but in college I just decided that... Dammit, I was gonna teach myself how to play basketball! And for whatever reasons, I did so not by any teaching or 'intramurals,' but just going by out on local courts and screwing around. And this cannot be understated-- at the court near my university, it was mainly youngish black guys who played, and for whatever crazy reason, they took a liking to me, and imparted to me a sense of...…

    Three of the best from my favourite, Woody: 1. Kingpin. Has anyone managed to make a loser so funny yet still poignant? 2. White Men Can't Jump. American joy before the fall. 3. The People v Larry Flynt. Flynt was a scumbag, but Woody gives him charm and complexity. #FilmSky

    The same way 90s kids learned to dress like earlier generations. We learned it from the movies and TV reruns. We learned to dress like 50s greasers from Grease. We got our 60s and 70s hippy fashion sense from Cheech and Chong. Grungy Hacker chic: See movies like Hackers (duh), Strange Days, The Matrix, Fight Club, The Crow, Blade, The Fifth Element, Tank Girl, etc. Tight fits. (You can spot the squares in this aesthetic by their baggy tracksuit fits). Lots of dark and dirty retro futurism…

    TIL the movie White Men Can't Jump was titled "Hard Play" in Japan. Two simple to understand English words, that still somehow manage to explain the movie more or less. Yep, it's a Japanized movie title all right.
