OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I appreciate the warning.  But it does me no good if I don't know the name of the movie that I am going to avoid.

It might not hurt to just avoid Kevin Costner movies in general.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!  KEVIN COSTNER WASN'T THE PROBLEM HERE!

Best Robin Hood ever.

Just showed Eldest Murton Bull Durham last night. Actually had forgotten Costner was good in that.

DPD.

The more directly the movie is about playing baseball, the better Costner is.

Until he tries it a third time. He even made me dislike Vin Scully for a few minutes.

You may scoff at "For the Love of the Game" but back in 2000, I'd just moved to Munich and there was absolutely no baseball on telly.  None.  I only had a 56k modem, so mlb.tv was no good to me (although I did subscribe to the audio and used to listen to Pat Hughes & Ron Santo) and there was no Youtube yet.  That film was a much-needed - if pretty weak - hit for a desperate addict.

That, and Kevin Costner was very watchable.

You can probably get treatment for that.

a) Bull Durham is good, but not necessarily because of Costner

b) Field of Dreams is bogus

That doesn't say anything to contradict what I said about his performance.

So, you were Jonesing and Costner and John Travolta's beard were the shitty H that was available. Yeah, that seems to be the only way that movie could be seen as good.

Kelly Preston is perfect for Costner as neither can outshine the other.

Wait.  What?  Errol Flynn owned Robin Hood.

Field of Dreams does not suck. Y'all can go straight to hell.
