What do I think of it?
Just saw 'Moneyball' (2011) for the first time
Kino
How could we know?
Never watched it never wanted to
Make movie about sport infamous for being boring
Focus on the most boring part of sed sport
Is actually exciting as fuck
Don't know how they pulled it off desu
It made you really, really angry.
Honestly I made this thread because of the ending.
That was so unexpected, it left me a bittersweet sensation.
Could've used more serious actors.
To be fair, baseball has a fair amount of kinos. They're all usually pretty good despite the sport being boring as hell.
It has a level of prestige about it for some reason despite being rather "low" same deal with boxing. Football and MMA will never have the gravitas of the two former sports for some reason.
There's been some pretty good football and boxing/MMA movies too. Not a lot of basketball ones outside of Hoosiers. I get what you mean though.
Why didn't you say that instead of being a fag?
This wording gathers more discussion.
20 game win streak is about to be beaten by the Brewers in 13 more games from now.
KEK
I don't even like baseball and I think it's great. Who would've thought obsessing over the minutiae of baseball statistics could be so engrossing? Testament to the idea that there are no bad stories, just poorly told ones.
Good movie, but it had lots of dumb things
Billy says he wants Jeremy Giambi because he gets on base
all the scouts disagree because Giambi is a problem in the clubhouse
Billy ignores them
Giambi becomes a problem in the clubhouse
Billy gets rid of him
Also
movie made it seem like getting David Justice and Scott Hatteberg got them into the playoffs
in reality the A's that year had 3 of the best starting pitchers in baseball and maybe one of the best rotations in history
masculine instincts bad numbers good
fuckin jeet propaganda
the nature of baseball lends itself to cinema
what do you think of moneyball?
moneyball? i like moneyball
you don't even know what moneyball is
you keep trying to replace Jeremy Renner's cock Anon Babble I'm telling you we can't do it. What we can do is recreate it. Recreate in the aggregate
It got all Sorkin'd up midway through production and it has some Sorkinisms that bring it down.
Any examples?
I disliked the corny daughter scenes and thought Jonah Hill was pretty weak in his role. I don't know why he got so much praise for it.
You now hate Founding Stock men who used tried and true methods of determining good players instead of some jewish nerd who looked at numbers once
what if we...get this guys...
what if we worked out...
how to pay players LESS
AND we get to be the HERO
i think in reality he was italian but yeah just as evil i geddit
The whole ugly girlfriend argument as hilarious though.
it changed your life
It was weird because it seemed like the Jewish mathfag was right up until the playoffs when it turned out that heavy hitters actually mattered regardless of muh on base percentage and shit. Felt like a huge waste of time.
This track is stuck in your head.

Sabermetrics went from "we want guys to get on base" to "fuck getting on base, we want everyone to hit home runs". Baseball hasn't been the same. Now pitchers go like 4 innings before their pulled and everyone is swinging for the fences.
ameristats gonna ameristat
would not work on any real sport
The movie ignored that the Athletics were knocked out of the playoffs by the Twins. Another small market, very low payroll team that beat the Athletics with fundamental good baseball and not number crunching.
So the Jonah Hill was completely wrong in the end?

Not really. The A's had a fucking great pitching staff. The number crunching didn't help them. Number crunching can give a good team a slight edge, which is a big thing when your opponent is good. Good baseball still wins though, always. The end of the movie pointed to the Red Sox winning the World Series a few years later because of moneyball, but the reality is that they were a stacked team before they started doing moneyball.
Every team does Moneyball now, even the wealthy teams, so no.
And yet people still deny that Jews are the chosen race
What if we picked good players?
Woah......

not american so i have no knowledge of this
wasn't the point of moneyball so that poor teams could find undervalued talent? seems kind of useless for rich teams that could fill their team with star players anyway, aside from maybe finding a few underrated players to pad out the depth in the reserves
I refused to watch it based off of Jonah Feldstein's appearance in the cast. The right call was certainly made.
It's a good movie and your antisemic is retarded
