Tobias: Inning By Inning: A Portrait Of A Coach (Documentary Review)

By some wonderful cosmic coincidence, Augie Garrido, the winningest baseball coach in Division 1 NCAA history, happens to manage the University Of Texas Longhorns in Austin, the hometown team of director Richard Linklater. Linklater prizes eccentrics and philosophers with a Zen-like perspective on the world around them, and Garrido could easily be a character in movies like Slacker or Waking Life, waxing poetic about his unique approach to the game.

Don’t have any interest in the college game but have always liked Linklater’s stuff. Thought I’d get this review out to you guys Before Sunset...

Waking Life wasn't terrible. I mean, they bounce a whole lot of crap off the walls and hope some of it sticks, but I enjoyed if only for the subsequent Wikipedi'ing of lucid dreams and the art style they used and even some of the discussion about quantum mechanics.

Oh, and was it not worth the price because you hate the movie so much or was it because of the sloppy Friday night schtupping? Be honest with yourself :)
