Here's something to be thankful for: Martin Scorsese doesn't have a Quentin Tarantino-esque, self-imposed "10 Movies and I'm Out" rule. Now 80 years old, Scorsese has directed upward of 45 (!) films—though he hasn't put his name on a project since 2019's The Irishman. So, it was only a matter of time until he announced his follow-up, Killers of the Flower Moon. Based on David Grann's 2017 true crime bestseller, Killers Of The Flower Moon: The Osage Murders And The Birth Of The FBI, the upcoming picture will star Scorsese favorites Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. In the first official trailer for the film, DiCaprio's character enters the violent Osage Nation, where oil has turned the Native American population into millionaires overnight. Of course, the white businessmen of the time would stop at nothing to get their hands on the dough—and we know what that means when it comes to Scorese-directed films. |

| Whether you're an outdoorsman or you're shopping for one, Patagonia is a the brand to look for. The Ventura, California based company—influenced heavily by now-famed founder Yvonne Chouinard—started with climbing gear, but has since become a go-to for all sorts of gear like packs, duffels, and all manner of outdoor clothing. And though we'd suggest going elsewhere for more specialized purchases—like tents, tarps, and boots—we absolutely love Patagonia for personal clothes and gear. So with camping season in full swing, we decided to create a one-stop shop for all the best Patagonia deals. They don't happen often, but at the moment, these are the best sales on Patagonia gear. |

| Late one night in 2002, writer Michael Lewis knew he had a winner. Lewis was spending his summer shadowing the Oakland A's, reporting the story that would later be known as Moneyball. But an even better idea for a sequel popped into his head, and he couldn't stop thinking about it. Then, in 2006, came The Blind Side, Lewis's best seller about the evolution of football (it, too, became a movie that went to the Oscars). In three years, he released arguably the two biggest sports books of the 21st century. He hasn't written another one since.Why not? The simple answer is that Lewis hasn't discovered a sports story worthy of another book. The more complicated answer is that sports media has changed drastically in the last two decades, draining such books of their significance. |
