    This totally would have worked if Steven only followed the advice of his brother Donald Soderbergh.

    @PontiusPirate: Out Of Sight, Traffic, The Limey, Ocean's Eleven, about three minutes of Ocean's Thirteen, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, and Schizopolis.

    especially with baseball films having virtually no appeal outside of the U.S.


    that large thud you just heard was Bud Selig falling out of his casket.

    The project was also doomed by Soderbergh's new working title: "The Giambi Experience."

    Chip Lambert knows exactly what this script needs: more breasts.

    I think the part where the A's won back-to-back World Series may have doomed the project.

    Wow, the only thing that could make this picture worse is if it was directed by Lawrence Kasdan.

    It's Hatteberg who looks like a prisoner at Auschwitz...


    This may be the funniest line I have ever read in a script, ever. I'm giggling like a little kid at my desk.


    It has everything: it barely makes sense, is ethnically insensitive, and paradoxically, is probably funnier to both people who have or haven't read Moneyball and follow baseball.

    If Brett Favre was the movie executive it would have been made, because he'd never scrap a script.

    I think I've seen this before. Is this where we have to align the pages in 3 dimensions and they'll give us the directions to end Jodi Foster's career?

    Furbush? I'd take him for his name alone and he'd be the perfect teammate for Swisher's hand gestures.

    Maybe John Sayles should direct. His version of the Natural had Hobbs striking out.

    "Troy, ever heard of Moneyball?"


    "Uhh the movie or the book?"
