      Documentary on the Portland Mavericks, the only independent baseball team at the time (1973-77), in a Class A league. Excellent documentary. Must see if you are a baseball fan.
      Saw this yesterday. It was a real treat to watch. I'd recommend it not just to baseball fans but any sports fan, or any Hollywood fan since it seemed at least a quarter of the team had done or ended up doing something in acting.

      Doing some reading on Kurt Russell it appears he had the chance to be one heluva ballplayer. He was hitting .563 in the Texas League before tearing his rotator cuff.

        What about a real measure of success?

          I'm pretty sure it made a boatload of money, so don't get your panties in a bunch. Unless you don't think commercial success is "real".

            OK, Velvet Goldmine is on right now. What a great movie.
            What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

              He obviously doesn't think Twitter is "real", and as a Twitter user , I certainly wouldn't disagree. A "boatload" of money, though? That's probably a stretch.

                Pretty sure they got a ton of profit off of the ad-time during the movie (well, relative to what they normally get). Plus, you'll have Amazon/Netflix/etc paying to get that movie, too.

                  Yeah but they wont be paying a lot...the movie will make money because it is cheap.

                    That, too. Either way, $$$$ for the movie overall and that means success.

                      I bet they made more than people think off the product placement alone (Subway, DirecTV).

                        I am watching The Fellowship of the Ring extended edition right now...it just makes me madder about what a joke The Hobbit is. The first half hour of Fellowship is ten times the movie any of the Hobbits have been so far. Jackson was infected with Lucas flu

                            Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson. It is visually stunning, there is a great deal of intrigue, and the suspense bubbles just below the surface throughout. But in the end I was quite a bit unfulfilled by the story and message they hoped to deliver.

                              Quality conspiracy movie. Leave all belief at the door, mind you, but entertaining.

                                Exactly. And I'm sure with all of the hype it got they were able to charge quite a bit more for advertising than that channel usually can.
