Crash Davis: This son of a bitch is throwing a two-hit shutout. He's shaking me off. You believe that shit? Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
These quotes are some of the best ever written. Im not even a sporty guy and i have only watched this twice in my life but no sport movie will ever reflect the same on me. And i like how susan sarandon is just as important if not even more vital to the movie than kevin costner and tim robbins. Their dynamic and the structure of the movie is such a good ride and is so incredibly funny. I recommend this to everyone I know

It’s my mom’s favorite movie and in my dad’s top 5. Just watched it for the first time while visiting for Easter and WOW, I did not expect to like it this much. It’s funny and smart and action-packed. And at the end of the day, it really is a movie about guys being dudes.

i never thought i’d find my 10/10 movie but i think this is it
i’m moved, amazed, and also feel seen somehow
every detail made such an impact
between the living situation and dustin hoffmann‘s supreme performance, it brought me to tears so many times
i never knew how much one movie could impact so much of cinema, even freaking elf
i don’t need to watch another movie for a long time lol
i could write a book on all of this, yet i’m astounded and lacking words
i think joe buck represents so much of the innocence/naivety we start with in life (also omg i couldn’t believe that was jon voight at first!)
and i feel like rizzo ratzo rico is the polar opposite, jaded reality of what it feels like in the real world. his pain came through so strong and hit me like a bunch of swords to the soul.
there’s so much more to it than just that but that’s all for now.

After Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly was given 20 million to make "Southland Tales". A film that got booed out of Cannes film festival, grossed only 300,000 worldwide box office, and practically killed the man's film career (before the very recent news of his return). After finally getting around to watching it, I simply cannot understand how anyone didn't enjoy the hell out of this movie. It has aged beautifully, the cast is fucking loaded and all over the place (The Rock, Stifler, Wallace Shawn, Justin Timberlake, Amy Poehler + many more), and in a very silly/fun way satirizes post 9/11 hysteria and political dispersion/stupidity in america without being very preachy. Yes it's sporadic, but there's so many quotables and memorable scenes that are hilarious and just batshit fucking insane Hollywood truly needs to return to giving money to psychos and letting them run wild with their vision. it creates a truly unique film experience such as this one that I could not recommend more.

Type beat, vibe. Especially in front of a donut shop with Maddie W. And the way they had that damn coffee cup design is fire. I love coffee and life.

Just had cold espresso coffee. Tasted like shit but when you drink the sparkling water after taking a sip, that taste washes away and you are cracked. Would recommend also felt so italian.
