And by "bad movie", timg meant good movie.

actually, i never saw it. i have this thing against brad pitt. the last movie i enjoyed him in was Burn After Reading, but that was mostly because he was shot in the head in the middle of it.
Completely understand. I'm the same with Tom Cruise ;-)
Used to not care for Pitt but he's grown on me and really, Moneyball is a good film (baseball fan or not).

Yeah, it's a good movie timg. That was funny what you said about Burn After Reading. Pitt is really good in it.

Moneyball was a good movie, and if anyone had seen it you would know that you are using the reference incorrectly. It was about analysis of statistics beyond batting averages and RBIs, and finding players who could benefit your roster who were underpriced because they did not have the sexy statistics most teams look for or in some cases would not even understand.

you don't need to see the movie to know what moneyball is. i knew about it before there was a book about it.

Well, in my case I did need to see the movie. And some of the other folks on this thread do, too. :-)
