See, I didn't think Bend It Like Beckham was much of a sports movie, either. It was a coming of age movie with some badly played soccer in it.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
BiLB didn't have to be about soccer. It didn't even have to be about sports. Whatever was chosen was integral to the plot, because it was the device for dissension and cultures clashing, but there were other ways.

Speaking of soccer, I'm looking forward to Hooligans, with Charlie Hunnam and Elijah Wood. Mmm, pretty violence.

I've seen some thuggish shots of Elijah. He's all cute and stuff.

So many of my Austin friends are at SxSW this week. So jealous! My friend Shelly always hosts one of the bands. This year she has a bunch 'o Scots. I was supposed to go down and join the fun, but I couldn't afford the plane ticket this time around. Did I mention jealous?

According to TORN -- it was last night. You know that Jason Behr is also in this movie? I believe that they are supposed to be brothers.

Aw, bless. I'm looking forward to him in Sin City as well. Creepifying.

Malamud is not responsible for the broad anvilry of the movie Natural.
His book is darker and doesn't have a spiff home run ending.
