Charlie Hustle & The Matter of Pete Rose
Johnny Lunchbucket replied to metirish's topic in Film Review Forum
I didn't need to read play by play of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. I wanted to know what made Pete Rose tick. Remarkably little about betting in the book, more about dog racing during spring training. -
Charlie Hustle & The Matter of Pete Rose
Johnny Lunchbucket replied to metirish's topic in Film Review Forum
There is a newish Pete Rose bio that is said to be the best of them but I read it and would hope someone can still do better. -
I went in there totally ignorant of it being a "real life" group and didn't know till they came out afterward. That's partly because it was so obviously fiction but a credit to their acting. So there were a lot of references to their music I missed in the film. I'd say this wasn't perfect but a couple of great scenes, a lot of energy, definitely entertaining.

Political hijinks abound when 2 tracksuit-wearing drug dealers and a teacher in Belfast form a rap group that sings in Gaelic. The alleged story of the origin of the real-life group Kneecap, starring its actual members. We saw a super exclusive preview with the director and cast last night, opens Friday at a theater near you. [YOUTUBE]FFYfp-hKxZQ[/YOUTUBE]

Jefferson Escorcha!

I'm going to come out and say it: That first post is the best in the history of the Adopt-A-Prospect Forum. -
Fun fact: by the time Stanley was promoted to Bingo this year, he owned Cyclones all-time records for he 23-year-old holds the Cyclones all-time records for hits (186), runs scored (111), doubles (40), home runs (35), RBI (121), extra-base hits (81), outfield assists (19) and games played (209). Brooklyn's ascending from rookie to A ball helped. Stanley is 23 and been with the org since 17.

In sitting here in a restaurant in midtown and while Wifey Bucket is in the loo, I will adopt Stanley Consuegra. Outfielder getting it on in Brooklyn. I think he hits righthanded

Eccentric woman in the forests of rural Poland takes a self-styled approach to animal rights. Hijinks ensue [YOUTUBE]Y6piqJes2DY[/YOUTUBE]

I believe the Mets payroll situation penalizes their draft-pick compensation, and we'd only get a 4th round pick if Alonso bails

Yeah they definitely want you rooting for a corporation and for athletes to begin the influencer era. That was my problem with it. They jammed a couple dozen pop songs between 82 and 84 -- Tempted, In a Big Country, Blister in the Sun, I Can't Fight This Feelin' Anymore, etc etc And so as not to seem out of touch they have a character talk about how Born in the USA from Bruce's new album isn't about celebrating or flag-waving-- only to use the song in the triumphant "we got our guy" scene. All that said as a story about a dedicated guy with a tough work assignment, it was well-done.

Hijinks ensue when a giant shoe company seeks an endorser.

Yeah this movie sucked. Not only was it celebrities hamming it up (Jim Brown was the best actor in the flick) but there was no Big Lesson in it either.

Mars attacks. Hijinks ensue.

Geez, remember him from the LL World Series. His dad's 1974 baseball card stuck with me. I pronounced his name BURR-UG-O-HISS

Thanks for cleaning up my ****** attempt to add a video by phone. I gave it a 4 for black comedy, prescient insights for its time (the influence of the internet and the rise of far-right politics), and presence of Redbird 7 trains. Some deductions because it ran about 10 minutes too long only for an ambiguous conclusion and there's some disturbing **** that it probably could've done without. The director is small-time famous for films set on Long Island.

Queens garbageman meets a flamboyant mysterious stranger who encourages him to write poetry. Hyjynx ensue.

I believe this movie came out right around 9/11. I was walking downtown amid the smelly dust and saw a poster for it, thinking it was completely wrong for the moment. A poster for Bob Dylan's newly available Love and Theft was on the same wall.

Does anyone believe this isn't just "Ohtani's side of the story" until a more thorough investigation comes out?

This sounds like only the beginning

This was me too. Good Xmas movie

I know we've discussed John Hughes before but saw this one again recently. It's not as funny as some of his flicks but better than most too. [YOUTUBE]aNmP7z1Eemo[/YOUTUBE] Fun facts: --Director Howard Duetsch married Lea Thompson --Eric Stolz plays the lead character, not Andrew McCarthy --Mary Stuart Masterson and I were born only a few weeks apart, which will give me something to talk about with her. --The villian was way over the top --Molly Ringwald turned down the opportunity to play Watts leading to a deterioration in her relationship with Hughes --Movie referenced the Rolling Stones with characters named Watts, Keith and Amanda Jones

We watched this too. My only complaint was that they told you up front they'd be separated and come back together. Poor dude.

When it was cool for sliders to take out 2nd basemen, that was Millan's fault. And look at Duffy Dyer throwing his old teammate under the bus. btw, I'd be interested in the details of the other Millan fight he mentioned
