Timmy Cee in NYCee

Timothée Chalamet is in the lull between his Marty Supreme Oscar run and Dune: Part Three coming out in December. It’s a good time to be off work for him, a Famous New Yorker and Basketball Fan, as the New York Knicks are going to the NBA finals (opponent currently TBD), so he will have plenty of time to devote to basketball in the coming weeks. Timmy was out in New York yesterday, sporting a Knicks hat and a monogrammed backpack. I did not have Timmy pegged as a monogrammer, is this Kylie’s influence?

Timmy is taking his life in his hands, going outside even as packs of wild ballerinas are roaming the streets of NYC. You know what I would love? A Tiler Peck/Timothee dance-off in the middle of New York. Probably real New Yorkers would hate that, they seem to hate anything that impedes the flow of traffic, but it would be funny TO ME. And maybe to you, too. I don’t know your business.

In other Timmy news, he is the latest target of manspreading ire as he was seen sitting next to Tina Fey—along with Kylie—at a Knicks game. I don’t know, this doesn’t bother me as much as a guy spreading in a more space-limited situation, like a subway car or bus seats. Courtside seats at basketball games might be the ultimate power move, but they look super uncomfortable. They’re just folding chairs, there is no like, regimented space. Everyone is always jostling everybody else. He’s also got what looks like his and Kylie’s drinks between his feet, so in this specific case, Timmy is the penguin protecting the nest.

See what I mean about comfort? No cupholders! Someone has to protect the drinks! Although this does seem like a plot point that would show up in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, and maybe it will, because Tina Fey was at that game as a guest of Tracy Morgan. Will we see Reggie engulfed in a manspreading controversy in season two?
