I liked FG when I saw it, but not on rewatch. I've, uh, changed a bunch, to put it mildly. Bull Durham is so sexy I forgot I know nothing of baseball. Although I do know little stuff now from being a Countdown fangirl... KO's always got some '60s southpaw to give geek props to.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am going to see Bull Durham for the express purpose of not liking it, now.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I need to watch some movies with Gloomcookie's GF.
Her original goal in life was to teach Women In Film. She would have rocked at it.

People that don't like Bull Durham are simply bad human beings. I don't mean to impugn your taste, but it's a proven fact. Really, it's not even a question of taste, it's about your worth as human beings on this planet. Consider yourselves judged.
But it's BORING.
And tries way too hard to be Sexy.
It's like Smoov B, but sincere and with baseball.
BLEH.

Right on!
(Seriously, you'll probably enjoy it more that way than I did, since I'm sure a large part of my own antipathy towards the movie is that before I saw it, it was pitched to me by approximately twelve zillion people as The Best Movie Ever That Everyone With A Soul Loves And I Can't Believe You've Never Seen It You Have To See It So We Can Talk About How Great It Is. And it was...a completely standard romantic comedy. About baseball. Had it been sold as such, I would have adjusted my expectations accordingly.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I hate High Society because I saw The Philadelphia Story first.
I don't remember which one I saw first, and I love them both! Each one has so many awesome qualitities!! Don't be a hater!
megan, I also enjoy quoting Shag with certain friends. WAY out of control, free love, bevos, etc.

Oh, how much do I love this phrase? Because yes, that's exactly the reaction I had to the bits I've seen.

Because books.
And it was...a completely standard romantic comedy. About baseball.
Exactly. I love a lot of it -- the "I like" speech, certainly -- and pretty much anything Annie Savoy said, but it's not, oddly, one I rewatch often.
I am a complete sucker for Field of Dreams, though. But I do hate Forrest Gump! I hated it at the time it came out, too, not on subsesquent rewatch, and was made to feel I'd betrayed my country or something.
