1. Chicago JoeI think "Sheehan vs the sycophant-laden fora" has blockbuster potential.
"Tommy Lasorda, The Ballad of Ten Dogs"
I think it would prove the movie studio suits are nothing more than economically illiterate #######.
"A legal thriller of love and identity theft that's so strange, it has to be true.
Craig's Wife.
Starring Rena Sofer and Antonio Sabato Jr. as Craig Calcaterra."
A true story about people who should have their children taken away.
A true story about people who should have their children taken away.
"The story of Baseball Think Factory."
Who stars as Kevin, Admiral Ackbar, Rear Admiral Piazza, Cookie Monster and all the other people I need to use Wiki Gonzales to find?
I never said they couldn't, just that I didn't know how they would. I think most here were along those lines. Kudos, they did it.
I love the transitive property.
Dunno how much of a "thing" this is, but I went Friday night, and there was an actual smattering of applause after the film finished. I was clapping in my head, but I was too busy keeping myself from weeping; color me surprised that the ending actually got to me. Also: kudos to the filmmakers for the way they snuck in the Jeremy Brown epilogue. Also: Arliss Howard (as John Henry) = five-tool greatness (tho I have a soft spot for him ever since Rubicon went off the air).
Hey I didn't say they couldn't. I just said it was a "lock" that they couldn't.
Moneyball in 3D was a totally missed opportunity, wasn't it? Those trade talks would have been beautiful.
If Craig's wife looks like Rena Sofer, then I am all the more impressed by his accomplishments in life.
A trio of guys try and make up for missed opportunities in childhood by forming a three-player baseball team to compete against standard little league squads.
with David Spade AND Rob Schneider.
I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth.
And thus is clearly drawn the line between box-office business and cinematic achievement.
It sure would have helped the chair-throwing scene.
When I saw Moneyball there was a preview for some movie that had Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson.
That ... I will not be seeing.
Oh come on. Even if you don't love the cast how could you walk away from the premise? It's been years since Hollywood tackled the thrilling world of bird watching.
I've actually read the book it's based on and, weirdly enough, I just took a tour with a company owned by a woman who will be portrayed by Angelica Huston in the movie. I might check it out. I'm not a bird watcher, really, but I do a lot of wildlife photography so I tend to run in the same circles. It's kind of weird for me to have Moneyball and The Big Year come out at the same time. I can only assume a movie based on Zaxxon or the poetry of Richard Hugo is next.
I like them both, though the crap to good stuff ratio for both is not as good as it used to be.
