Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Although I have been hearing for a while that the best-selling book Moneyball" was going to be made into a movie, I never really believed it until seeing on Tuesday that they continue to add actors. I had always assumed that, somewhere along the line, some studio executive would look at that book and say "Uh, that doesn't sound like a very interesting movie to me.""The whole concept to me is just surreal at this point," former A's assistant GM Paul DePodesta told FanHouse. "Maybe I'll feel different once I see it. It's hard for me to believe this is actually happening. I've been in denial for the past five years. I told Billy that when the movie comes out and people say 'It's not as good as the book,' they are going to be talking about our real lives."
It was a great book, one that all seam-heads like me thoroughly enjoyed. However, there doesn't seem to be much to attract the other 99 percent of the movie-going public.
So, here are my Top 10 Ways To Make Moneyball A More Interesting Movie...
10. Replace A's scouts with scantily-clad Hooters girls.
9. Replace Billy Beane with Billy Bean. Have him quit baseball, run for office in San Francisco and let the Oscars come rolling in.
8. A's scouts decide to scour the slums of Mumbai, India, looking for young men to turn into millionaires. (Oh, wait, already happened.)
7. Seth Rogen plays the dorky scout who really just wants to find a nice girl.
6. Follow Jeremy Brown's career, but he never reaches the majors. Instead he sets a minor league home run record and has sex in a bathtub with a middle-aged junior college teacher.
5. Billy Beane gets bitten by a radioactive spider that helps him develop a sixth-sense for finding players. And he also eats bugs and climbs walls.
4. Hannah Montana bursts into the draft room to sing every once in a while.
3.. Instead of looking for undiscovered talent, the A's have scientists come up with a chemical that players can take to make them suddenly more productive. (Oh, wait...)
2. Bill Murray plays the A's deranged groundskeeper.
And, the No. 1 way to make Moneyball a more entertaining movie...
1. Billy Beane actually gets his drafting advice from a talking corn field.
