You have to somehow believe that the worst outcome simply won't happen. Like I said, confidence is a funny thing. But he can definitely kick a soccer ball pretty good. In conversation he is digressive, occasionally melancholy, prone to long anecdotes and sometimes even actual parables-closer, in other words, to Ted Lasso, the gentle, philosophical football coach he co-created, than any of the preening jerks he used to be known for. “It's up to me to not just play an a-hole in every movie,” he said. He became so adept at playing those types of characters, Sudeikis said, that at some point he realized he'd have to make an effort to do something different. On Saturday Night Live, where most of us saw him for the first time, he had a specialty in playing jocular blowhards and loud, self-impressed white men, a specialty he took to Hollywood, in films like Horrible Bosses and Sleeping With Other People. Sudeikis is acutely aware of “the vessel that my soul is currently, you know, occupying”-six feet one, good hair, strong jaw.

Sudeikis has been riffing on it, in one way or another, for his whole professional life-particularly the comedy of unearned confidence, which he is well suited, physically, to convey.

SNL TINY BALLS MOVIE
How did it really change anything? If the lesson to be learned from the book was for teams to exploit market inefficiencies then the message of the movie is not to share your proprietary secrets with a writer.Jason Sudeikis covers the August 2021 issue of GQ. Especially since their success couldn't be duplicated. So the whole "The A's changed baseball" was true, from a certain point of view, it just had more to do with needles in the 80's and cream in the 90's than OBP in the 2000's. I was thinking that the success (if you want to call it that) of the A's at the turn of the century was probably just fueled by steroids like their teams of the past. Maybe they were filling in the scenes with their memories from the book, where I was filling the silence with the chewing of popcorn. Maybe I did, since those that did read the book seemed to be really enthusiastic about the movie. I'm probably the only SB Nation baseball blogger who hasn't read Moneyball and as a result I thought I'd have a unique perspective on the movie that no one else would. Now that I've seen the movie I still haven't gotten the urge to read it. I always said that I'd wait to see the movie first than I'd read the movie novelization so that I could peruse the glossy photos of Pitt embedded in the middle. I've never been much of a Sci-Fi fan so there was no great appeal to read Moneyball when it came out.
Yet during the movie I checked my vitals and I wasn't bored and that is a great accomplishment in itself, it just doesn't make it a great movie, just an okay one.Įven with no prior knowledge of the "story" there were still no surprises for the ignorant and I didn't learn anything new, except that Billy Beane is not former Padre Billy Bean. There wasn't much meat on the bone at all. There were no love scenes between Brad Pitt and a Bill James baseball abstract as promised. It's not a movie that is re-watchable or has any lasting message. I've been meaning to write a review of the Moneyball movie, but as more time passes the more indifferent I become. In attempt to clear some space I fast forwarded through every Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Kristen Wiig, which brought me to the final minutes where there was a spoof of the Moneyball trailer called Tinyballs. My DVR has been filling up with an eclectic mix of shows, everything from MTV's I Used to Be Fat to Antiques Road Show. I've been plowing through episodes of Breaking Bad on Netflix this past week and because of that I've neglected my usual television watching schedule.
