He Got Game

[WoD]

anyone seen 'O' , more like love and basketball, centres around basketball but not really a ball movie
starts mekhi pfeiffer(sp?) and josh hartnett and julia styles
sposed to be a modern days othello i think, guessing thats where the 'O' comes from

Obviously Green was the cause of the awfulness because Jason Lee is brilliant, yet to see him in a bad film.

yes, jason lee is brilliant... i'm a great fan...

tho, he was good in it... vanilla sky was a sh*t movie...

Seen all of Kevin Smith's films? That's where Jason got his break, and i must say, they are his best work.

Some of his lines in both Chasing Amy and Dogma are some of the funniest **** i've ever seen.

Haven't seen Chasing Amy or Clerks, but intend to.

His "Bloody savage" remark at the flea market in Mallrats is magnificient.

As far as Stealing Harvard, he delivers his lines in that same deadpan manner, but the words just aren't funny.

Jason Lee is fantastic and is a big reason why Kevin Smith's movies were such a success. Well that and the fact that Kevin Smith is a genius and his movies are wonderfully written and directed.

Only one i haven't seen yet is Mallrats.

Own the other four of his films (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma and J&SBSB) on dvd, just waiting for the R1 version of Mallrats to come down to a decent price.

BTW For any Kevin Smith fans, his 2 disc DVD 'An Evening With Kevin Smith' is wonderful.
In it, he (and Jay Mewes) go to universities and have Q&A sessions.
Some of the stories are hilarious, including a 30 minute explanation of his first sexual experience with his current wife.

The DVD is only available in R1 land, and is $45-50 at its cheapest, so i shall be waiting.

Not going to sully the Mallrats experience by watching it on filthy VHS

I love Basketball movies though....anybody seen Hoosiers or the fantastic Hoop Dreams!

yeah, i've got hoop dreams on tape - great documentary.
unfortunately that coach was stuck in his isaih past (though it was quite amusing when he called a shovel pass "dog s*** crap").
wonder what happened to those guys...

anyway, as far as other b-ball movies go, i've seen one about playground legend earl "the goat" manigault. i think that featured joe smith/garnett in some b-ball scenes. somehow, i think bo "bust" kimble was the 'star' player in that movie.
