Ha! At least Wimbledon was safe.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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!)
Speaking of going from the field to the screen, five of the Sox (Varitek, Wakefield, Mirabelli, Millar, and Damon) all got makeovers for a special ep of QEftSG. [link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, I would say that soccer is the European/rest-of-world version of sports agony, but I have never even seen a soccer movie and thus could not tell you a thing about how it shows up on film.
(FTR, football fans trump them both, or anyway, baseball fans only turn out when it's sunny and hopefully warm, whereas football fans think nothing of bounding about in body paint and a giant cloth diaper in the depths of a Green Bay January.)

Only soccer film I've ever seen was the really bad WWII-era Sly Stallone one (Victory, IIRC). Even on a big screen, it was baaaaad.
