If You were in Hell....!

I can see that point. I like the line in the speech because it talks about the purity of the game -- real grass and no DH.

Great addition to the speech!

And I believe that we shouldn't have interleague games....

of course, they weren't around in 1988.

I believe we should vote for Dukakis
I can't believe The Last Emperor swept the Oscars
I believe Billy Idol is cool
I believe that I really hope that the AL doesn't start playing the NL in regular season games
And I believe in the cock and the pussy

The AL isn't even baseball. Is there any doubt why The AL seems to win all the All-Star games and World Series? It's mostly because they CHEAT!!! HA!

"Oh my."

(Good speech! I'm still wondering why The Last Emperor won...lol)

And this thread was officially hijacked. *uh-oh*

You should never be surprised at some of the strange things that turn up in this forum, dear lady! Actually, I think the movie is brilliant on many fronts, especially the realism of the coaches ("I'ts a simple game--you throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball") and the fantasy of a huddle at the pitcher's mound where they resolve the problems of a wedding gift, a curse, and....oh, yeah, something about the game! I also like the realistic portrayal of the radio announcer providing sound effects for an out-of-town game that he's "broadcasting" from notes from a telephone hookup. That was radio at its best. I think it was one of best roles ever for Susan (Sorandon? That's not even close to her correct name, is it!), although I kept wondering what kind of job she had that she could afford a house and food and clothes and still have time for action day or night in the bed or at the ballfield.

And tell the truth now--in that hot scene where they sweep everything off the breakfast table, didn't the thought flicker through your mind as to who was going to clean up that mess later???

Not really. She is a woman after all, so I thought it was obvious.

Ut oh!


I hope one of us is kidding.

I often think of stuff like that when I watch scenes like that.

Now, rufnek, that's more like it! That is a great description of why the movie is so good.

You really picked out some great moments in the film. And I'm a big fan of "hit the bull," and "Well, don't just stand there, I gave you a gift!!!"

It's Sarandon.


Mark f -- Huh????

EDIT: Rufnek, I gave you a "rep point" for that post.

Lmao... ah, I'm such a pig

Ooooooh! You'll go to NOW hell for saying that!

OK, somebody tell me now, what are rep points and how are they awarded! I think I've been shortchanging a lot of folks I've enjoyed talking to in this forum.

When you look at the top right of anyone's post you will see a thumbs up and a thumbs down graphic. To give someone a positive rep point, well it's fairly obvious at this point, you just click on the one you want.

However, you should be aware that people can see if you gave them the good or bad rep point. It wasn't always that way but now it is.

HTH!

It was awful and we were all struggling to stay awake and just as an unconvincing battle scene commenced, on blasted the music theme from ITV's "News At Ten" show and the whole cinema roared with laughter. The one bright spot in the whole film.

If I were forced to watch movies in Hell I don't think they'd be of the Adam Sandler and Steven Seagal variety. No, I think they'd show me my favorites, like Chinatown, Lawrence of Arabia and GoodFellas, but they'd be shown on a cheapo thirteen-inch black & white TV set from 1972 with grainy antenna reception, panned and scanned of course (which I think is actually outsourced to Hell), and dubbed in Farsi or Portuguese. THAT would be torturous to me. Billy Madison I could tune out. Seeing masterpieces butchered would be tough to take.

At least for this cinephile.

Oh yeah, and of course the Demons sitting behind me are loudly talking on their cellphones, slurping their sodas and crinkling plastic bags.

Oh, and...if there was no DH in baseball, we would all be forced to watch namby pamby NL style ball, and that just wouldn't do...

Probably having to watch Mamma Mia or Sex in the City all day...grrr.

Just goes to show how people differ. Much to my surprise, Mamma Mia was one of the few films I've really enjoyed in years!

But I've never watched Sex in the City on TV or the big screen.
