I think it was just long-anticipated, really. It certainly wasn't a Gosling kiss.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Saw Moneyball. Am a happy camper. But I'd be interested in how a non-A's-biased viewer sees the movie. One of the focuses of the movie was the A's 20 game streak in 2002. I was at every home game of that streak.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone seen Warrior yet? I might try and find that this weekend.

Because books.
Suzi, I was asking S. about Moneyball, since I didn't know the story, and when he told me it was about the A's, I knew you'd be there. I'd like to see it, too. What he accomplished is fascinating.

I'd love to hear your opinion of it. I read the book and I remember that season with startling clarity. Certain scenes brought back the viseral feeling I felt when the events actually happened.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Beau is an A's fan, so I told him I would go to the movie with him if it was decent. I don't really like baseball movies except Bull Durham.

Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune very rarely gives out 4-star reviews, but Moneyball got one from him this week.
I also just read a really good review from the Flick Filosopher for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy which I am now trying to see when it will be released here in the States.

The one I keep hearing I need to see from people I know is DRIVE. I'll forgive them stealing Tim's show's name from what I've heard.
