Moneyball was a very good film. B to B+ in quality. It plays a little long, but I wouldn't quite know what to cut. Sep 20, 19:27
thats awesome {nm} Sep 20, 19:29
:) it was a moment to finally relay what little knowledge I have gained from all these great minds! {nm} Sep 20, 19:33
here? great minds? its like 12 monkeys in here! NO MORE MONKEY BUSINESS BUY NOW! {nm} Sep 20, 19:43
:) one of his best roles indeed! {nm} Sep 20, 19:44
also, forgot that the audience got a 10 minute preview of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo......it was easily forgettable. Sep 20, 19:32
I am not listening! Dragon Tattoo WILL be great. I am willing it to be so. {nm} Sep 20, 19:35
it very well might be, but I stand by my post of months back about its box office potential. they made a mistake making Sep 20, 19:37
But that's what the character is meant to be like ... Sep 20, 19:52
... but maybe I'm coming at it too bookishly. :) {nm} Sep 20, 19:53
indeed. Sep 20, 20:09
not sure where it was set, UK I think? i know everyone is speaking with accents. found that odd. {nm} Sep 20, 20:11
interrresting ... that sounds like an alternative universe anglophone Sweden to me :) {nm} Sep 20, 20:14
TGRLW is also set in Sweden. {nm} Sep 20, 20:17
right there with you! {nm} Sep 20, 20:09
although I'm not actually a big fan of the book myself, actually Sep 20, 20:23
I think it reads flatly and pulpily. But that may be the translation. Sep 21, 01:02
A couple things of note: Sep 21, 00:37
hehe :) {nm} Sep 20, 19:38
I don't understand the comparison between Blind Side and moneyball. Surely dolphin is more like blind.. Sep 20, 19:38
It's marketed like The Social Network x Major League. I don't get Blind Slide vibe at all. {nm} Sep 20, 19:39
i gotta agree, i dont see blind side in the marketing {nm} Sep 20, 19:40
I also agree no Blind Side. I'm getting more of a Field of Dreams vibe. {nm} Sep 20, 19:59
... it would take a lot to get me to watch a baseball movie, but I'm up for this one. Sep 20, 20:04
and it is...if you get the chance take it in. i think you'll enjoy it. {nm} Sep 20, 20:06
I'm a massive Sorkin fan too of course :) I totally forgot this was his! Der. Sep 20, 20:12
I love Field of Dreams, but I didn't really get that from it, either. I didn't really see Major League in it, either. Sep 20, 20:18
Out of curioisty, how big of a baseball fan are you, lobgotti? Sep 20, 19:48
lobogotti*, sorry. Lost an "o" there. {nm} Sep 20, 19:48
I'm a big fan. I also read the book....a few weeks back actually. They handled it very well. The scouts were what scouts are. Sep 20, 19:55
he shines in his scenes though {nm} Sep 20, 20:05
but it's such a scientific movie. there are no belly laughs and for the most part the film is very serious in tone. {nm} Sep 20, 19:53
Hence x The Social network. {nm} Sep 20, 19:57
yes, I agreed with that aspect of yor post and said so. Sorkin contributes that much to the film. Sep 20, 20:01
Always nice to have you around posting, lobogotti. Nice story :) Did she ask if you needed a job? {nm} Sep 20, 19:46
thanks Paul, love to be here. just been hard lately. haven't traded a stock in a while....scared to look in the port. Sep 20, 19:51
That's because it's an easy story to write based on the fact both movies were adapted from the same author. {nm} Sep 20, 20:06
*weren't pulled out {nm} Sep 20, 20:09
look at all these posts, the foums miss you, lobo :) {nm} Sep 20, 20:15
yeah and i miss all you guys/gals. movies are my passion. i love to conversate about them and gather feedback from people Sep 20, 20:21
Sounds about right Sep 20, 20:16
first time i have approached them like that. but considering i can go to about any sneak i will start engaging more. {nm} Sep 20, 20:22
Trust you to be so specific about its prospects ;). As much as this movie looks good, I don't get a "must-see" vibe. {nm} Sep 21, 03:05
