'Long Gone,' the HBO baseball flick: WTF is the deal?

Is there a worse sports movie than the Freddy Prinze Jr.-Jessica Biel vehicle?
And what the heck even happened to Freddy Prinze Jr.'s career?

 

Who would have thought Matthew Lillard would be the one with the best resume/career outlook out of that crew.

 

Lillard chews so much scenery in everything he's in the guy should wear a bib.

 

Back on Youtube? (Haven't watched the full clip but it seems long enough.)

 

Oh God! Dixie Lee Boxx! Girl nut roaster!

Damn, I love this movie. Glad I bought it on VHS a long time ago.

 

But you can buy this.

That didn't last long. It has already been removed.

 

It, too, is Long Gone.


Thank you. I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress. Try the veal.

 

beware buying the DVD. yes, it's burned off a vhs, I would have been fine with that, but mine had a SIX SECOND delay with the audio!!!! Couldn't get my $30 back, either.

 

I do remember seeing this, and loved it. Among other things, it's your chance to hear Teller (of Penn and Teller) actually speak dialogue.

The one line I always liked from that movie was when Dermot Mulroney's character sits down with Dixie in the diner and tells her how his girlfriend "got herself pregnant," and Dixie replies, "the last time that happened, there was a star in the east."

 

Hmmmmmm, my hometown library has it on VHS. Wonder if it is the six-second-delay version.

 

I got 1st and 10 on dvd a few years ago, from either wal mart or best buy.
