five of the Sox (Varitek, Wakefield, Mirabelli, Millar, and Damon) all got makeovers for a special ep of QEftSG.
I saw that in the Globe. New definition of "When worlds collide," or anyway, I don't know if I want to know who on my sports teams has back hair and who doesn't.
Could be worse. Schilling could be talking politics again. Or one of them might want to start a singing career!!
Sometimes, cross-marketing is just a Bad Idea.
DH loves
Victory.
He makes me watch it whenever it come son TBS or whatever.
There's some wacky buddhist monk soccer movie out there, but I haven't seen it.
DH loves Victory.
HAH! I loved it too!!!! I was really into WWII-set movies when I was in junior high. I probably haven't seen it since I saw it in the theatre though.
Bend it Like Beckham!
Actually, you know, I have seen parts of this movie. I just managed somehow not to see a single part that involved soccer.
I really liked
Boys From Brazil,
myself. I think it translates to celluloid pretty well, but I'm culturally biased.
I like Victory, too. Another soccer movie is Ladybugs.

Yeah. The Fever Pitch book is brilliant, but I haven't seen the (UK) film. The Red Sox map to Arsenal and the Yankees are who, Man United? Although, probably Liverpool at the time of the book since United were crap then. Who's Chelsea? The Mets?
Nutty -- does that mean you missed the parts that involved JRM? Or somehow you screened out all the soccer surrounding him?
I've seen some of
Fever Pitch
and it worked better for me than the book did. Possibly because it was a less intense version of it.
