That just seems wrong.
I think they had to rewrite the ending because of...
PS: HA HA HA BEAT THE YANKEES!! GO SOX!
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Did we know? Boy, howdy! It was a big deal among die-hard Red Sox fans, because not only did FOX interview Jimmy Fallon during the World Series (he's a Yankees fan anyway), he and Drew Barrymore were allowed out onto the field after the win (whereas, actual fans were held in the stands behind 3rd base).
They filmed for a while in Boston mid-season, you know, stuff at Fenway before and after games. I think several players got on the "acting" bandwagon as well, and will show up in the promo stuff. (Bleah!)
Apparently, they'd intended the movie to end "bittersweet", with the Sox losing, but whoops. They had to rewrite and reshoot a lot in November.

Art Crawl!!!
By, "are making" you mean "have made" - because I've seen promos on tv already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jimmy Fallon is a Yankees fan? What the shit is that?
...oops. I knew I should have posted this in Natter in the first place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha! At least Wimbledon was safe.

Punishingly Intricate
I hadn't connected until just now that it's an adaptation of the book Fever Pitch...I'm guessing it's not going to translate quite as smoothly as the Americanized High Fidelity.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's been a movie already with a Hornby-penned screenplay. Colin Firth is completely fucking adorable in it.
