Sportswriters Should Never, Ever Think They're Movie Reviewers Just Because They're..

...technically journalists; and just because they think they should be allowed to review a movie about sports just because they're sports journalists.

Because they're not movie reviewers at all; and they don't know their asses from their elbows when it comes to movie reviewing.

I just watched Mr. 3000 for the first time this weekend. It's a fairly old movie; maybe from five to ten years ago or so; and it was a pretty good movie, but I had never bothered to watch it before, primarily because some dumb fuck sports writer - as I recall it was Bob Ryan - revealed how the movie was going to end.

Years ago, Skip Asshole What's His Name from Texas, Skip Bayliss, maybe, reviewed Million Dollar Baby before I had seen it, he and gave away a critical - well, really, the critical plot point.

In his review, he wrote something like "nothing like this would ever have really happened in the sport..."

...and I'm thinking..."you're such a fuckin' moron...nothing in any movie would ever happen the way the way shit happens in real life, whether it has anything to do with sports, or not..."

I was pretty pissed at him, at the time, for having ruined that movie for me.
 
Movies are never ruined for me anymore because I don't watch them.
