Slap Shot's my favorite sports movie after Bull Durham. Then the original Bad News Bears.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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 should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Men with Brooms
ack I can't get on Netflix to add it. In fact I can't seem to get on any website except b.org and google. Is this because I downloaded that Fall Out Boy mixtape yesterday?

Speaking of Hot Fuzz, I'm a recent convert to the Brit-com Spaced. That's the latest thing I've seen that's made me really laugh.
I am looking forward to seeing the new Coen brothers film (Burn This After Reading is the title, right?), because it looks like goofy fun with lots of big names.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Burn This After Reading
Filmed in my neighborhood! (As a stand-in for Georgetown).

Then the original Bad News Bears.
The original Bad News Bears completely rocks. I'm so glad to see Jackie Earle Haley back in the acting game.
Men With Brooms is classic. And has nekkid Paul Gross.

I love Breaking Away too, speaking of sports movies. That's where I got my Barbara Barrie crush. Also, having just recently rewatched Bad News Bears and Paper Moon, I am reminded what an incredibly great child actor Tatum O'Neal was.

Oh, I just recently caught that for the first time in forever on one of the movie channels. What a wonderful little film. And wasn't that Paul Dooley who played Dennis Christopher's dad?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ooh, Slap Shot. Love that movie. And Breaking Away is one of my all time favorite films ever. Such a smart, subtle script.

Most sports movies leave me cold, but I do have a soft spot for the original Bad News Bears. The tv show of Friday Night Lights really works for me, though. Maybe having the longer format of a tv season with the game scenes edited for merciful brevity is what works on me.
