Sports comedies with romance are usually bulletproof for me, but BD isn't. I watched it shortly after it came out, and it left me cold.

Meanwhile? I'm still considering purchasing Tin Cup. So I know it's not the Costner. Maybe it's the baseball?

Don't ask me. It's my brain, and I don't get it.

(It's also possible that the sports part didn't have enough oomph? Again, maybe it's the baseball. Maybe I'll watch it again and like it. Who knows. But the fact is, I wasn't kidding about Tin Cup. That one? I love.)

Loved Bull Durham. And I don't give a shit about baseball, so the fact that much of the comedy is making fun of baseball (affectionately, but still) is kind of a selling point.

We did see it when it came out, but I don't know if it was all that unusual at the time. The studios had some quirkier releases coming out then. In the summer of 1988 we got Big, Bull Durham, A Fish Called Wanda, and Midnight Run. Die Hard and Roger Rabbit were also released then, but I'd put them in a different category. All in all, it was a pretty good summer.

All in all, it was a pretty good summer.

Man, I miss smart comedy. With few exceptions, it seems like the only available flavors right now are either romantic comedies (ecch) or dumb-guy-kick-in-the-nuts comedies (ewww).

I am Jessica. No love for BD, massive love for FC.

I am the opposite of J. LOVE BD, find FC to be overly art-directed angsty twaddle with some good performances.

There are some moments of brilliance in Fight Club, and I might watch it again (actually, I would, because I am a sucker for people beating each other up. Comedy GOLD, people), but overall, eh. I really liked HBC in it, though, and I feel like I haven't gotten to say that much lately.

Bull Durham, I will watch any time it comes up. Actually, I will happily watch any Kevin Costner sports movie (I think I own Tin Cup somewhere).

Finally watched PotC: At World's End and Ocean's Thirteen. Eh on the first one, and yays on the second. I liked seeing the guys back in Vegas (and the twins making trouble in Mexico was HI-larious).

I am the Grinch, because I didn't much like either Bull Durham or Fight Club.

Killed me DED

Juliana! Watch Tin Cup with me!!

FC (movie version) is clearly a cautionary tale against the evils of self-abuse (you know, wanking!) and is therefore made of win for me.

Sometimes, I am fond of movies with readings that tickle me.

Bull Durham and Fight Club came along at just the right times for me. I'd just got into the Cubs the year before BD came out and they were winning!

FC I had no interest in whatsoever. I'd seen the trailers and thought it was just boys beating on each other (now I can appreciate a movie that boasts only that but back then I wanted more from a flick). My girlfriend called me up one night and asked if I'd seen it. I sighed an annoyed, "no" like why would I ever? She said, "forget what you think you know. You're coming over tonight." I slept over at their house after being blown away by the film that night. I was the first one up in the morning and watched it again first thing.

Tin Cup I thought was going to be hilarious because of the chemistry of the principals when I saw them on Oprah of all things. It failed to deliver for me.
