#1 Posted: 9/16/2011 6:31:40 PM Anyone else have the same feeling? I don't think Brad can even save this flick.
Is anyone considering seeing this?
Is the life of Billy Beane that interesting? |

#5 Posted: 9/18/2011 9:01:58 PM What is the big plot twist? I am going after a guy with a high OBP over a solid batting average? |

#6 Posted: 9/18/2011 11:50:31 PM people will see it for Brad Pitt alone. I don't know if it will be a blockbuster, but people will see a movie for the star alone.

#12 Posted: 9/20/2011 1:57:11 AM sports movies generally suck, unless you have a really heart moving script like field of dreams, rudy etc, a baseball stat movie? u wont get any women, kids or non sports fans watching this, tank central! |

#14 Posted: 9/20/2011 2:43:04 PM I think it actually loos really good....Brad Pitt is a first class actor and Jonah Hill (I think that his his name) is great. We shall see! |

#15 Posted: 9/20/2011 5:39:17 PM This movie will absolutely tank. Brad Pitt has even said that he has never liked baseball, so this will be a drag out movie in which he acts and pretends to like baseball all in one..... Redbox is the choice for this one....

#17 Posted: 9/20/2011 11:26:39 PM I saw a pre secreener last week, I give it two big thumbs up. Great underdog story and manages to make the story interesting for even non baseball fans...Aaron Sorkin wrote it, he wrote a tiny little script called Social Network, definitely has that feel to the movie, Jonah Hill does a great job of adding funny moments also.
Why all the hate, I dont get it?

#21 Posted: 9/23/2011 3:12:31 AM not sure how it will do, but I have zero interest in seeing it. already know the story and don't find it interesting enough to watch some movie adaptation of it. |

#22 Posted: 9/23/2011 8:17:54 PM SPOILER ALERT: The A's make the playoffs and run the bases like dickheads against the Yankees and Red Sox and never get past the 1st round

#23 Posted: 9/24/2011 10:18:42 AM Phillip Seymour Hoffman is one of those actors that I just can't stand for some reason.
