Not much on my streaming options are jumping out at me right now.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
No, baseball is a nothing sport here. American Football barely exists on a national or even Northern European level, but at least the NFL is popular, and the Superbowl is a popular tv event. Most other sports that are big in North America are big here as well.tree_ wrote:is baseball not a thing for your people? not that i think it should change one's opinion of the movie, but it might

She’s asleep now. As for baseball, I don’t think she even has an opinion it. Never seen a game. But she very quickly lost interest in the movie, although she was here for the first twenty minutes.tree_ wrote:baseball is so engrained in the culture of our people I wonder if it boosted the enjoyment level for me and my kind. It's a great movie for sure, despite that. But like, a movie like Bend it Like Beckham never really crossed mine and my peoples' radar because, ya know, soccer is stupid. And I'm sure that's probably a good one too. Surely no Bennett Miller joint, though.
Maybe ask your wife for me if she wasn't interested because she thinks baseball is stupid and boring
Or her s*dual attraction to Jonah Hill was just too much.tree_ wrote:I agree that the movie is only about sports in a superficial way. But maybe some people are so turned off by baseball that they can’t go any deeper.
