Great instincts on his part, given the fact that this movie revived her career.<br /><br />It so happens that I'm writing a novel about baseball. I've read a lot of non-fiction baseball books in preparation. Might be time to look at some fictional baseball stories too.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-73838964647806631082016-06-03T20:56:43.907-04:002016-06-03T20:56:43.907-04:00This is, in my opinion, the greatest film about ba...This is, in my opinion, the greatest film about baseball... ever. I love that scene in the pitcher's mound where everyone is just going through a lot of shit. I love what Robert Wuhl says "Well, candlesticks always make a good present". I also love what happens afterwards where Crash says "it's a cocksucking call". The guy didn't touch the fucking plate. It was a cocksucking call. <br /><br />My favorite scene is where Trey Wilson laments to Crash about the losing streak as Crash tells him to apeshit on the players and Wilson does. It's a very simple game. You hit the ball, you throw the ball, you catch the ball. And it is true about what you need to do to make in the majors. Any asshole can hit a straight fastball. It's about the fucking curve. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-79746362058797140022016-06-03T19:40:07.525-04:002016-06-03T19:40:07.525-04:00To be quite honest, I have avoided this movie for ...To be quite honest, I have avoided this movie for one simple reason. I LOATHE Kevin Costner. It comes from having been burned on his overlong, mostly pointless turns in The Postman and Waterworld (and I also didn't like Dances with Wolves). I guess I really ought to give him a fair chance in this one, though. Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.com
