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.
Actually, we're not just bad but evil. And intent on World Domination. Consider yourself on notice, Costner-lovers.
Is it acceptable to love Bull Durham if you otherwise despise Costner? (With another exception for Field of Dreams, of course.)
Huh. I've never thought that of The Philadelphia Story. Cary Grant isn't too young for her, and he plays the ex-husband. I figured the character would be a little older since she's been married once already.
My understanding is that all people who love Bull Durham secretly also love The Postman. I believe I read this on IMDB.
I worked on the play, so I lived...rather intimately with the script, and we had the same problem as the movie.
At the time, I thought the actress who played Leo's daughter would be perfect for the part (this was circa season 1 or 2)
This is not an argument I'm going to win with logic, is it?
Hivemind! A professor here would like to have an International Law film series to go with his IL class. The topics to which the films would have to be vaguely related are:
Use of Force, Terrorism, Humanitarian intervention,
Self-defense (i.e., use of force by states in self-defense), US Foreign Relations (Alien Tort Claims Act, Sovereign Immunity, Act of State), Human Rights (including women's rights, civil rights, torture, and some other stuff), Laws of war (protection of civilians, occupation, detention)
Genocide, Crimes against humanity, War crimes, Environment (fisheries, ozone, climate)
My list of suggestions so far includes: Judgment at Neuremburg, Hotel Rwanda, An Inconvenient Truth, M*A*S*H, Wag the Dog, Breaker Morant, Munich, Syriana, The Constant Gardener, Missing, A Dry White Season, Missing, Dr. Strangelove...
Also, TV is fair game if there's a copy we can get our hands on. Star Trek must have dealt with many of these, so if you know 'em suggest 'em.
I'm telling you, a formative-years viewing of The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (in which Sheen plays a totally creeptastic pedophile) can scar a girl for life.
I
loved
that movie! That's why I called whatzerface on
Angel
"The Little Girl Who Lived Up The Elevator Shaft."
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.
Oh, yeah, that'd be a problem. My family just went to see it when it came out, because it had gotten good reviews and the clips we'd seen were funny.
I have never seen
Field of Dreams.
I did see
The Postman.
Sort of. There was a group of us, and a lot of drinking to get through it, and whenever the one person who wanted to watch it got distracted, I'd hit fast-forward until he noticed.
