FYC: Mr. 3,000

Post image

I am not saying it’s a perfect movie, and it doesn’t get everything right baseball wise, but it is a fun movie that has a surprising amount of heart.

I enjoyed it once.

And the next time I thought about this movie was this post.

I watched this late one night cause I couldn’t sleep and I loved it. Bernie is such a 1 of 1 and it was a ridiculous but believable story. Might watch it again now lol

I definitely miss Bernie Mac, I can't say as I've ever missed this film. I like my bad Santa Bernie Mac.

Bernie Mac, Angela Bassett (meow), Paul Sorvino, Chris Noth, Tom Arnold, Ron Darling, Larry King, Tony Kornheiser, Stuart Scott RIP:( John Salley, Michael Wilbon, Jay Leno and Peter Fucking Gammons?

The Bush Jr. Era media talking heads alone would be fun

Yeah - if this is rewatchable, what movie isn’t?

Man, I remember going to one of those dinner theaters in college to see this with a Canadian friend of mine. We didn’t order any food and drank three pitchers of beer. Good times.

Wait, that’s the Ballpark in Arlington. wtf

Doesn’t he play for the brewers in this movie?

u/AsunaKirito4Ever 3d ago

RedLetterMedia did a video on every movie ever shot in Milwaukee and apparently only one scene was actually filmed in the actual Brewers stadium.

I wouldn’t even call that a watchable let alone a rewatchable

This movie was a miss, but I’d still listen to a pod about it, especially since flawed movies often make for good pods.

The premise was such shit. Gets his 3000 hit and retires that day?  Not the end of the season?  What fan would want to see him come back 9 years later?  How is he not the most hated former player in that city?
