I'll wait.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

I have date night with the wife... I have yet to see a bad football movie.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

My wife and I seldom agree on which movie to go see. As a result, we never go see movies.

This is one that we've agreed upon, We'll probably go see it next week sometime.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Captian America yo!

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Hell, both!

Who does the movie have us picking in the first?

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Looking forward to hear your opinions on this one. I will probably have to wait for it to come out on DVD over here.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Are you going see it Oak?

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

That movie looks awful. As much as I love the draft I can't bring myself to spend the money on seeing it because of how cheesy it looks.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Costner cheesy? Bull Durham, For the Love of the Game, Robin Hood...
pure Velveeta

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

You say that like it's a bad thing. :)

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

so bad:

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Kevin Costner = boring.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Dances with Wolves, The Untouchables, Field of Dreams, JFK, The Bodyguard, The Big Chill....

I'm sure Costner isn't the problem. :shock:

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Yes I am, should be out by 7. I'll give my thoughts after.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Favorite Costner movies i would pay to see? none
make a point of seeing on tV at least once? all of them
will watch more than once? most of them
His movies are not big screen material my book.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Cheesy huh?

The NFL draft we all watch is the cheesiest production I have seen in a long while. 4 days of horse trading humans dressed in bad suits and covered in bling. Once picked they glad hand the villain Roger Goodell while dawned in a pimped out cap worn incorrectly and a jersey with no name. A gala even where college students celebrate their first employment in a field they did not major in while in College.

Cheesy huh? Anyone ever look at the filmography of Mark Hamil? other than Star Wars (Greatest movie ever) it is filled with movies like Corvette Summer...

LOL! Movie critics that have yet to see the movie they are critiquing... :bng:

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Yes, Costner sports movies epitomize cheese. Each film has to have that little soliloquy where we learn how sports are a metaphor for life. Love it, hate it, it all comes down to your preference

I stopped watching the draft several years ago, right after it became a major media production. Now I get an alert when we are picking and tune in for 3 minutes every hour.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

An entire industry of "critiquing" is snake oil to me... Just from the mindset that there are opinions that are paid for having to do with Art and Entertainment which are completely subjective and personal preference.

Ever watched Chopped on Food Network? I love the defensive "well that is the way I like it" responses to someone being told their flank steak is over cooked.

Its all judging and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people like a thick dark almost gravy-like gumbo, some like a thinner lighter soup-like gumbo. If you get one of each on a judging panel, who knows what will win.


BTW... Tin Cup, 3000 Miles to Graceland, both excellent movies, both somewhat cheesy but that doesn't mane cheesy a bad thing. :bng:

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Saw the trailer, loved what I saw. I'm definitely checking it out.

The internet is full of wanna-be movie critics who lambast everything that comes out in an attempt to sound intelligent. I'm fully convinced that if Citizen Kane or The Godfather came out today there'd be a thousand people telling us how terrible it is. I can judge for myself if a movie is any good or not, thank you very much.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

I don't mind decently made "B" grade movies sometimes. I enjoyed The Postman and hey, Bull Durham was good. I like the movie costner made where he no hits the Yankees and use that line from the movie when he says "clear the mechanism" in my day to day. Lol. Is there something wrong with that? Lotta hate up in here. :brood:

District 9 had some rave reviews... I left after the first 30 minutes.

If you get past the actors and the acting, the story about the NFL being a business and a production, then a sport is what most fans cant get their heads wrapped around. I am taking my wife so she understands why some players are traded and why some others are signed.

I enjoyed it, my wife loved it.

Some will get it, some won't.

I don't want to give anything away.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

My favorite Costner flick.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Will go today or tomorrow.

It looks good.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Doesnt sound like ill be able to watch it till its out on DVD.
No release date for the UK

Draft Day (Movie)
 

So you'll get the actual draft and a real NFL game before you can see a movie about the draft.

Makes sense.


It's probably due to a lack of interest from theaters.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Yes, no way enough people in England would be interested in the ins and outs of American football. Same is true here- there are a lot of good futbol movies that were probably never released in the US- Damned United and Fever Pitch were good films

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

I saw the preview... they lost me at Dennis Leary saying "in Dallas we are used to winning"... I don't like high fantasy.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

It wouldnt be a popular film over here but i was hoping that with the NFL being behind the film they would have asked for a small release in some theatres in major cities.I was hoping i would get to see it in London or a NFL backed screening.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Honestly. I don't see the NFL limiting the distribution intentionally. Not considering how much they are considering putting a team there. The movie would serve as a small gage.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Not mentioned.
I don't see any cheese here.

I haven't heard it called a documentary yet.

Surprised Lyer didn't point out that the Cap Manager for Cleveland isn't actually pregnant.

Re: Draft Day (Movie)
 

Just saw the movie......a little predictable but it was one of the better sports movies I've seen in a long long time. Highly recommend everyone to go see it.
