Big Fan

[Ignore Function]

Take away the sports aspect and this could be the story of any number of FOTs!

How dare you.

You're only mad because I spit truth. Seriously, the whole time I was watching it (and re-watching it), I kept thinking all we would need is a feud of football proportions for this to become a frightening reality. Also, Tom may have to kick someone in the back of the head a couple times. But still, you know I'm not wrong!

I just watched it last night and it gave me the tip of scripting and rehearsing my calls into the Best Show. Does anyone know where I can get some WFMU sheets with the names of all the shows all over them? My mom wants to buy me some for my birthday.

Great idea for a mouse pledge premium.

I watched the first 20 minutes tonight before promising a lady friend I'd wait for her to watch the Wrestler, then watch Big Fan with me. It was really hard turning this movie off.ß

You did the right thing, from a gentleman's point of view ... But you could have just finished it and then pretended that you hadn't whenever you and she watch it.  Is this a lady friend that you hope will be your special lady?

Yes, I agree with Steve, lying to her is always a good idea, because it keeps you on yours toes mentally (did I tell her that or did I just think about telling her that?)

By the way, Steve, for my money, "Flesh not felt" was the best caller interjection of the week.

Yes, from Lady Friend, to special lady indeed. I think this will be one of those movies to help things roll along. She's a movie fan, but I was shocked she hadn't seem the wrestler yet.

Speaking of The Wrestler, the Acme that is featured in the movie (and my personal supermarket), will be closing Feb. 5, so if you'd like to take the tour, it's now or never.

No word yet on what supermarket chain will be replacing it, but my guess is that it will be a Stop & Shop. They seem to be cropping up everywhere these days.

I'll wager on Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.  Bayonne's primed to join the rest of the -- cough -- Gold Coast.

Thank you very much, Dave!!!  AND!!! You read my mind because I actually meant to say "Flesh Not Felt" but something went haywire and I said "Flesh Not Fur."  But I think the point is the same, given the context.

Flesh Not Felt!

Oh man!  I can't make it to Jersey by then

[Ojingeo]

I live with my mom. The same thing could happen with me and Herzog.

I better move out soon.

finally got around the seeing the movie.. and then watching all of the extras immediately after (the chicago discussion + the deniro story are both really funny and worth a watch)

excellent movie. the only thing that caught me a little off guard is how little media praise i heard about the supporting cast. kevin corrigan & marcia jean kurtz in particular i thought were both excellent

The supporting case was tremendous.  I was flipping through the channels today and saw Grounded for Life on abc family or something and watched it just to see Kevin Corrigan, I had forgotten about that show and that he was really entertaining in it. 

I saw the movie at theatres and bought the dvd maybe two weeks ago cause I liked it so much.  But I still haven't been able to watch it all the way through a second time.  It's one of those movies where when I know what's going to happen, I can't stand watching it again.  Like Taxi Driver, or Stroszek.

MOVIE FAN WHO HASN'T SEEN THE WRESTLER YE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?  I don't know what to make of that.  But then again, there are plenty of great movies that i haven't gotten around to watching either.  Hello, Citizen Kane 2: Still Kanin'!

So, progress report, please.  Have you two finished these movies yet?

[dave from knoxville]

I have not seen the Wrestler. The more details I hear about it, the less I guess I need to.

Nah, Dave, it's still a pretty damn good watch.  I knew the ending going in, but seeing it in its entirety is a pretty moving experience.
