Comments for At the (Baseball) Movies with Roger Ebert at http://wezen-ball.com , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://wezen-ball.com Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:17:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/november/at-the-baseball-movies.html#comment-141 The Mr. 3000 line was a joke. Maybe it was too subtle... I doubt "Death on a Diamond" is considered much of a classic either... - lar @ wezen-ball Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:35:12 +0100 http://wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/november/at-the-baseball-movies.html#comment-139 How did that get on your list of good movies? It would easily make my list of 5 worst baseball movies. - heyblue Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:37:42 +0100 http://wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/november/at-the-baseball-movies.html#comment-128 Eight Men Out needed to be an HBO series. 2 hours just wansn't enough. - Ron R Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:13:02 +0100 http://wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/november/at-the-baseball-movies.html#comment-127 Jeff, I didn't comment on Eight Men Out mostly because I've only seen it once or twice, so I can't really say as much about it as some of the others. You can see Ebert's review of it here: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19880902/REVIEWS/809020301/1023 Mostly, he seemed to think that it was much too much of an "insider's movie" and that they didn't try hard enough to explain who all the characters were. I can understand that point of view, but, lucky for us, we don't have to deal with that. - lar @ wezen-ball Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:06:51 +0100 http://wezen-ball.com/2009-articles/november/at-the-baseball-movies.html#comment-126 Curious to know what Roger said about "Eight Men Out", for my money the best baseball movie ever. Tragic tale, great ensemble acting, supreme period detail. - Jeff Polman Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:39:54 +0100
