Having watched this movie about 100times and...HSL,<br /><br />Having watched this movie about 100times and half of those times with you, I must point out that the winning basket in the game vs King and Duck, Billy slams it home on an alley oop pass from Sidney.<br /><br />Plus, if we are going to talk about the most frustrating part of the movie, what about the hook shot on the Sudan hoop to secure Gloria a spot on Jeopardy? "You want me to punt it?" Up until that point, the movie is pretty believable. How about Sidney bets Billy to dunk instead of the hook shot and he puts it down. The half court hook shot was too much.<br /><br />Much props to Gloria, the former disco queen for throwing down on Dr. Leonard Allen, English teacher from Spokane and returning champ Richard Andrews, rocket scientist from Pasadena when finally given the shot on Jeopardy.<br /><br />I was about to suggest how great a video game based on WMCJ could have been, but after a quick google search, to my surprise and dismay, a WMCJ game was released on the Atari Jaguar back in the mid-90s.<br /><br />This whole discussion might not even matter if 20th Century Fox ever responds to my letter asking if the whole movie is Billy's dream.<br /><br />In closing, I leave you with the words of one Sidney Deane:<br /><br />"The sun even shines on a dog's ass some days. Anybody can win the lottery."<br /><br />-BShoke-BShokenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751661589230455325.post-19395588776369108052009-11-18T23:18:57.133-05:002009-11-18T23:18:57.133-05:00Joe.

Back in his day, he could probably throw it down, but reaching his 30s, his knees and back hurting, he was trying to reach deep to the athlete he once was.<br /><br />We all know the feeling. Everytime you pick up a ball, bat, or glove you can't help to think about what talents you once had in life. I still think of homers I hit in high school when I play slow pitch softball, only to snap back to reality and pop out to end the game.<br /><br />My point is, this movie reaches to the common man, and this is why its considered one of the greatest sports movie of all time. This isn't the feel good sports movie. This isn't your struggling team rallies around each other to win the championship as the lovable underdogs. It's a tragedy.<br /><br />And the relationship between the two adds to this point. They are not friends. They have nothing in common besides the fact they can ball, and they can both use each others skill to make a buck. They had the best gimmick in town and it worked, until Snipes got greedy and wanted more money and hustled his partner. Even with his help on getting his wife on the lot for the game show, it was to return a favor, not out of friendship.<br /><br />The movie is meant to be frustrating, because Billy is a dead-beat. He is an addict, but instead of a needle, its gambling. His character doesn't deserve a happy ending. One could argue he did have a happy ending because he was still alive. Most in his scenario end up dead because they can't pay out.<br /><br />So in closing, enjoy the movie for what it is. A classic comedic tragedy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691848243652315423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751661589230455325.post-82540332402647652202009-11-18T16:26:22.855-05:002009-11-18T16:26:22.855-05:00Many frusterating parts in this movie, but I agree...Many frusterating parts in this movie, but I agree that the 'Billy trying to slam dunk' scene is the most difficult to watch.
