You obviously never tried to watch Cloverfield.

Correct, and I did like For Love of the Game

Yeah, well, The Postman is generally considered worse. I can’t help it. If it’s any help, I only saw them once as I recall.

Except For Love of the Game. I saw that two or three times. It was generally panned when it was released, but I liked it.

I still watch For Love of the Game multiple times each year. One of my favorites.

R.I.P. Kelly Preston she was one of my teen crushes.

I like the movie as well, but there should be an edit that’s just the baseball stuff.

This is the movie I use as an example of a bad movie. Awful

I saw a comment that Alan Rickman was the only actor in that who recognized what movie he was in.

I especially love that last scene with Little John:

ā€œHey . . . Is this heaven?ā€

ā€œNo. It’s Sherwood.ā€

Has anyone made it all the way through Trouble with the Curve? Is that the worst baseball movie of the last thirty years?

I was looking through a list of movies made in Georgia, and came across Trouble with the Curve. I honestly couldn’t remember if I’d seen it or not.

Yes. And, yes. My wife said, ā€œI finally found a movie we’ll both likeā€. She got an A for effort but an F in application.

I saw it. Do not member much of it, but I do not remember it being historically bad.

I’ll remind you that Little Big League exists, sir.

HOW DARE YOU

What’s not to like about this movie, tho admittedly it is a little chick-flicky?

  • A grouch that abandoned his daughter? Why?
  • The grouch is part of a dying breed, literally & figuratively.
  • Geeks are taking over, they discount human (especially his) assessment skills.
  • A red hot, can’t miss, prospect w/ an attitude. (Don’t they all?)
  • A favorite abuse target that likes to throw a baseball…
  • The grouch’s daughter is being abused again - a chauvinistic firm…
  • Clint Eastwood & baseball - what’s not to like!

I am a sucker for father-daughter flicks.
