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

    @MarkKelsosMigraine: well, there's always the chance he'll leave Kevin Costner's part on the cutting room floor again.

    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.

    So is there anything in there explaining why the hell the A's haven't released Bobby Crosby?

    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.

    This is the most sleep-inducing thing to come out of Hollywood since Roman Polanski checked his chloroform at LAX.

    @The Governor: like Brando*, Bill James also demanded $3.7 million (1978 dollar value equivalent), a hefty cut of the back-end receipts, and that people address his beard as "sir".


    *in all seriousness, the deal Brando made to star as Jor-el is one of the funniest stories in Hollywood history. Read about it sometime, if you have the chance..

    I see they scrapped the subplot in which Barry Zito was a Cy Young Award winner, since it was way too unbelievable.

    Dykstra said he doesn't know what the count is most of the time. Was he talking about balls and strikes or his assets?
