One of my favorite books was made into a movie starring Brad Pitt that opens September 23. While the book was great, I wonder how they'll give it the kind of story arc one would expect from Hollywood. Unnecessary love story for Billy Beane?
I'm going with a Fight Club type twist...BILLY BEANE AND PAUL DEPODESTA WERE THE SAME GUY ALL ALONG!
Also, I wonder if Joe Morgan will pan it without having seen it.

I read a Yahoo! Projector review that basically said the movie was okay, but that it didn't address some of the major themes of the book. Surprise, surprise. I very much dislike the Hollywood-ization of actual sports stories, but I'll still see this. It looks better than the Hugh Jackman Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots movie -- did you SEE that preview??!!
Ha! I hadn't heard of the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em movie until you mentioned it.
Can't wait for Hugh's follow-up project, "Hungry Hungry Hippos: Hunger Rising."
I'll watch the movie just because I like Billy Beane. Its a fascinating story.
I also plan on watching the robot movie. Its freaking WOLVERINE, how can I NOT see it??
