Mazzaro and Curveball

I’m following this on CBS, and it said in that Zobrist AB, arguably the most important AB of the night thus far, that he opened the AB with 2 curveballs. To my knowledge, those were the first two he’s thrown all night. Is CBS correct?

Also, they have his velocity topping out at 93 for the eveving , much lower than his usual 94-96. Is that correct as well?

Meh, I really don't like Kevin Smith

I think his stuff is pretentious while pretending not to be. Actually, come to think of it, he’s kinda like a BoSox douche fan. Hated Dogma.

All the philosophizing about relationships in Amy was teh suxor, as far as I was concerned. Unconvincing and dull, and made the characters uninteresting and unappealing to me.

His tv show about the soul collector is okay, though.

i'm not sure if we're talking the same genre,

but cusack is (actually, both are) in sixteen candles. so if the category is teen comedies with cusack, it’s 16 all the way.

by AV on Jul 10, 2009 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I know, I mentioned it above

The genre I was referring to was 1980s Hughes or Hughes-inspired comedies. I think Sixteen Candles is better than Breakfast Club or Ferris Bueller, which I think would usually be named as the top ones. Risky Business is very good, too, but it’s not the same kind of film exactly — much broader and darker satire, and not focused on high school society.

I didn't really set out to define the genre explicitly,

but I’m thinking of teenage coming-of-age love stories. Say Anything and Sixteen Candles definitely fit. Breakfast Club mostly fits. Risky Business is a bit of a stretch, but I guess it’s on the fringe. (I’m not familiar with Ferris Bueller except by reputation.)

so i recently watched the hughes ouvre over again

and what surprised me was how sort-of-dumb breakfast club is (i hadn’t seen it since it came out, when i was the same age as the characters, and i thought it was sooooo deep), but the bigger shock was that, for all its unworldly schtick, weird science is actually better than most of his sweeter movies. now, if only some kind of wonderful and pretty in pink could trade endings…

not that it matters. i love all those movies no matter how corny they get. i should see risky business again. i hate tom, but i seem to remember that wally george’s daughter was the hooker…?

No, I think 16 is better

All the confessional stuff in BC is too clunky for my tastes. Also, 16 satirizes kids and adults, but also shows both kids and adults being sympathetic, too. BC is just “grown ups suck!!” And Ally Sheedy = thumbs down (although she was good in that later film about that German artist).

Understood, but on the other hand

16 has all that Long Duck Dong stuff that really didn’t age well.

I loved BC at the time, but it has faded. It lacks depth, and isn’t self-aware enough for that to be a virtue. Also, there’s that one really really cliche shot where the camera goes round and round. Maybe it wasn’t cliche then?

Yeah, Long Duck Dong and Joan Cusack's character in the neck brace

are kinda painful. Not “Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s Is Making Me Want To Pluck Out My Eyeballs” painful, but painful.

To the film’s credit, though, “the Donger” is actually portrayed as a basically normal person — the real problem are the grandparents.
