Sounds like the kid of comprehension one gets watching a movie on a bus. Dad wasn't a football coach but rather owned a string of fast food restaruants. She was an interior designer. The Theisman play in the prologue was to explain the defintiion of "the blind side" in a Tim McCarvery "assume the viewer is completely unfamilar with the sport" kind of way.

Game six, son. What the hell was wrong with you?

Watching this NOW!!!! Nobody told me Tim McGraw was in it. I don't know country superstars too well, and couldn't recognize Tim without the goatee, the hat, and/or maybe some spikes in his hair, but he doesn't look like him, he looks like Tug. Like a lot.

It's an automatic. Tries to get you in as well as the younger kid hip to that whole eighties vibe, if often only ironically. I mean, what defined the eighties more than Harry Hamlin/Burgess Meredith action movies? Really, I'm certain all they think about in Hollywood is "How can we can this market segment and that market segment behind the same piece of shit?" The original CotT was Ray Harryhausen's last film, but the guy is still above ground thirty years later.

I just thought he wasn't much of an actor. I like how he just walks right up during funerals and starts homilizing. Cut through all that liturigical mumbojumbo. Who does that?

I think about this movie all the time. My wife was sickened by it --- she can't stand any film with a rape in it. There are certainly noticeable gaps in the script. But Eastwood says things with the actors and the camera that the script cannot. What did you think of the priest? He seemed kind of ham-handed to me. Maybe he was hired for his face and not his performance skills. On the other hand, you can read any awkwardness in his delviery as an expression of his struggling un-genuineness as a person.

Besides experimenting with Sha Na Na, I'm not sure.

That would be very bad from my point of view.

I was 11 once, and I've got to imagine that he noticed the boob. Cherie Currie was in the original cut of This Is Spinal Tap, playing the lead singer of a band called The Dose that opens a few gigs for the Tappers and infects them all with VD.

Valdespin has snuck into a couple of spring training games and has just gotten a hit and a stolen base. Showed some range earlier, too. Wearing 87.

Wasn't invited to camp.

Cherie Currie had a lookalike (twin?) sister named Marie. Fortunately, nobody got the idea that sibs = sexploitation gold until she left the runaways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlv8wwZAehc

It's the movie that brings horny middle aged men and trashily-dressed teenagers together in one theater.
-
Pretty cool how the guitarist became a rock icon and the bass player became the chair of the Republican party.

He got hurt the same weekend Reyes did. He was doomed. I wouldn't be surprised if the injury on this other hand came from him overcompensating.

Different papers are going in opposite directions. Some say Cora. Some say Tejada.

Oddly enough, Disney's first attempt at experimenting with computer-generated feature animation was an adaptation of ? It was 1983, and Disney was making good decisions at the time, and they fortunately decided the technology wasn't yet up to carrying the artisitic vision forward. Lead animator on that test project was Glen Keane, aka "Billy" from The Family Circus.

Why (oh, why!) didn't you jerkweeds tell me (beg me!) not to dial up a clip of that John Hughes tribute? That was... awful! I need to wash my brain.
-
John Hughes is a funny case. He apparently hated (or at least resented) Hollywood, but Hollywood loved him. Worth mentioning though is that, in producing Home Alone, he came up with the best grossing comedy ever to that date and, in doing so, struck a vein of box office gold, the reasonalbe-budget family-oriented slapstick/cartoony/pratfall vilolence comedy, that became tired pretty fast, but made a lot of bigwigs very rich men. Silence of the Lambs wasn't a winner. It was a sweeper, taking Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

Creepazoids who've been bringing it for decades and are probably more or less likeable in general get extra juice. Like, Gary Busey will never win for playing a creep because it's hard for anybody to think it's a stretch for him. And handicaps roles. Those get loads of votes and wins. Handicaps in the leads. Creeps and sweeties in the supporting roles. Guh!

Guys who've won BSA Oscars being creepy (or at least morally compromised): 2008: Heath Ledger playing a homicidal maniac/terrorist in clown makeup 2007: Javier Bardem playing a cop-strangling hit man, captive-bolt pistol wielding carjacker/killer. 2006: Alan Arkin playing a remorseless hard-drug abusing, grandkid-corrupting, porn-loving grandfather training his grand-daughter in the art of erotic dance. 2005: George Clooney playing a CIA assassin/rogue operative with indiscriminately loose lips. 2003: Tim Robbins playing a child-rape-survivor/killer. 2002: Chris Cooper playing a tragedy-torn orchid thief. Exceptions in the last decade include Morgan Freeman, Jim Broadbent, and Benicio del Toro.
