Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
To be fair, that was before "Dude, where's my car?" was released.
Heh -- fair point.
Granted, Bull Durham is not The Apple.
Well, nothing is better than The Apple. That one's in a category all its own.
Two hours never crawled by so slowly in my life.
My feelings exactly. I never once cared about how much sex or baseball any of these people were having.
I dislike her a lot--but then I adored her in Chicago.
That was defineitely a case of a good surprise,
I love the fact that all of David's Mel Gibson movie loves came out before I was out of junior high. I think there should be a statue of limitations for giving people a pass.
CZJ falls into the "reads her own press" category for me. Kinda like Sharon Stone. I don't care if she's a genius, and effortless with the style. I hate that it seems to be just on the tip of her tongue all the time.
I can't remember the last time I saw a Stone movie without the explicit intent of hating on her.
I'm on hold with Blue Cross about a prescription benefit, hoping that the fact that the hold music has gone silent doesn't mean that I've been disconnected again -- I think they're having trouble with their phone system. Sigh.
Catherine Zeta-Jones annoys me. Nothing I can put my finger on but she's annoys me all the same.
well, she married Michael Douglas, for one.
Oh, add Sharon Stone and Meg Ryan to my list.
What's your opinion of Joey Lauren Adams?
Well, I had to hit imdb.com to remember who she is, so she's definitely not a deal breaker for my movie viewing. That said, her voice in Chasing Amy got on my last nerve.
I think there should be a statue of limitations for giving people a pass.
Nah, I give Kate Hepburn a pass for all the crap she made the last 20 years of her life for all the stuff she made way before I was born. Same with Fred Astaire or Barbara Stanwyck.
Bull Durham= Beautifully written, great characters throughout, kick-ass female character who doesn not punished for expressing her sexuality, nice mixture of poetry and reality, terrific dialogue, truly brings us into the world of baseball and makes us see what these folk love about it.
This, plus it's hilarious and sexy and quotable, and hopeful yet wistful.
It occurs to me that 3 of my 5 favorite movies aren't really what you'd expect given my reading preferences and general interests. Glory and LOTR (I'm counting the three as one for now) fit. Bull Durham, Dave, and The Shawshank Redemption, NSM.
