Speaking of Canada, the Blue Jays' second baseman Orlando (O-Dog) Hudson pulled a hammy last night. How, you may ask? Rounding the bases after a home run. Douche bag.
Speaking of home runs, I saw a screening of the new Bad News Bears. It's really very funny in many places. The main criticism of it will surely be that the little girl doesn't quite have the acting chops of Tatum O'Neal. If you can get beyond that, it's actually really great. Billy Bob Thortnton strikes a perfect balance, and most importantly to me, the baseball stuff was really well done. They shot all the action scenes full-on, so you can tell it's not visual effects or tricky editing.
The fat kid hits a home run at one point, and in a brilliant little touch, he tugs at his batting gloves while watching it leave the park. Richard Linklater is a real baseball fan (and former player at UT), so he knows his shit. Give it a chance.

Richard Linklater is doing Bad News Bears remake. They're thinking about doing Confederacy of Dunces and have tapped Will Farrell for Ignacious.
When you're having drinks with your collegues and getting "honest", can you take a step back from the projectiuons and see how fucked up this all is?
