Moneyball - Drunk Monk - 02-24-2012

I thought there was a thread for this already.

I missed the beginning half hour, but never went back for it. It was very amusing to me to see Oakland Coliseum, as I know that venue inside and out and could recognize various rooms as well as how well the sets matched the decor. I know it was based on a book based on a true story, but did all that really happen? More important, do I really care? Jonah Hill was kind of funny. It had its moments but baseball films are so predictable.


I thought so, too - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-24-2012

I figured it was in DVD's but it's not.

Based on a true story.

I liked it. Very well made film. Aaron Sorkin should write everything, if he isn't already. I worked on this film. they pulled the plug on my portion the day before shooting because the Producers and Soderbergh couldn't agree on the direction of the film. I still have my baseball card/ID card in my wallet. That being said, I could use a little less Brad Pitt in my films.


I feel ya on the Pitt OD - Drunk Monk - 02-24-2012

Wasn't there some thread where you said you'd be on this project but couldn't release the name of the flick, so you were dropping hints that would have been cool if DOOM was more Hollywood oriented, but were really lost on us, probably like all my CMA references are lost on most of you (except for CF perhaps), because DOOM just wasn't as cool Hollywood savvy and didn't know wtf you were talking about?

I looked for that but couldn't find it. Cry

The Social Network was based on a true story too, but that doesn't mean it was all true. No way did Zuckerberg date Lisbeth Salander. No f-ing way.

I signed up to be an extra for the Collisseum scenes, but that night was freezing cold and I had just got back from ComicCon or something and was dead tired.

In hindsight I wish I'd done it just to tell people I was in in an Oscar-nominated film with Brad Pitt.

Strike two for DOOM.

I thought I posted a review of the book ages ago. Can't find it doing a search...
