Our Pitcher, the Movie Star
Fanhouse is reporting that Bronson Arroyo is going to be a movie star. Personally, I'd have chosen him before I went after the Jersey Shore cast, but what do I know?

Dude, I scooped you big time on this one
Well, me and John Fay. See?

That really should have been a fanshot.
so i made it one. Don’t think of it as competition, but as co-operation!
I'd take a one legged midget over Shayne Graham in a heartbeat. - btcoop71
Good call.
Why is it that, even at my age, the word cooperation still makes me think of this?
On topic: would anyone actually be more inclined to see a movie because Bronson’s in it?

Only if they had a death wish
Though cinema can provide a great escape.

I love movies so I'll watch anything ... but yes, it makes me more interested.

with our powers combined...
shitty people from Boston and shitty people from New Jersey can sit down and watch something together. And this doesn’t even include shitty people from Florida (Bronson’s hometown bros will probably sit down and watch)

dude
the Simpsons were around before the Soviet Union fell. the Simpsons were around the last time the Reds won the World Series. the Simpsons were around when Carl Lewis was a star. Wikipedia that last one, kiddos.

I know these!
I’m your age.
And I seriously dread the day the Simpsons goes off the air. I haven’t watched on a regular basis in years but the day it goes off the air will suck.
Sure, the show has been meh for quite some time now, but it’s the biggest pop culture event in my lifetime. I seriously can’t remember life without it.

the Simpsons is so old
i can vividly remember when my mom wouldnt let me watch the show because i was too young. Bart said curse words and he was a bad role model for me.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 27, 2010 10:07 AM EST up reply actions
I definitely remember when the Christmas Special originally aired.
The next day at school everyone was singing “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells”
It was a huge deal from the start. There was also a huge deal made about whether or not it was appropriate for kids to watch. Simpsons merchandise was HUGE. It was a flea market favorite, and all those shirts emphasized the curse words.
Cowabunga man!

aint it funny
how the Simpsons was a provocative show back in the day, but now Jersey Shore doesnt even phase us? not saying it’s good or bad, but that it’s just so different.

Father Knows Best, the Donna Red Show and Ozzie and Harriet
Those were too racy for folks..although Iwas allowed to watch The Ed Sullivan Show
"Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs."
Alfred Hitchcock 1899 - 1980
I remember those days.
Then Ren and Stimpy came along and got people upset — but Beavis and Butt-head was the one that really set the pissed-off parent bar.
The Simpsons became ‘wholesome’ television as soon as B&B showed up. Then South Park raised the bar once again.
It’s amazing what The Simpsons started.

Beavis and butthead
was the “devil” to parents when i was in 6th grade. it had all kinds of people pissed off, and it seemed like every news story was about it.
by the time south park came out, i was old enough to where i kinda escaped the parental backlash on it.
I was allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy
But not the Simpsons or Beavis and Butthead.

Except Ren & Stimpy was really more for parents
not kids.
My Dad loved that show, even gave me “Log” for Christmas one year. That bastard.

Me, too.
I was in 2nd grade when The Simpsons started, and I was one of only two kids in my class not allowed to watch it. I’ve still only seen an episode or two.

Monorail and Bart Sells His Soul
Are my two favorite. Both are brilliant pieces of television that attack the viewer while also comforting it — not to mention being funny as hell.
The Simpsons is amazing and for my money those two episodes stand out as great pieces of American satire.

Just a couple of bums I guess ...
That’s the other thing about The Simpsons — it had some of the best writers/writing on television during its first 10-12 seasons.

By the way
This fanpost’s title could also refer to Jose Rijo. Sugar was an excellent movie.

Is it? I kept hearing 'meh'.
Netflix keeps pestering me to watch it.

I thought it was fantastic
I have no idea how realistic it is, but it at least seemed like an honest look at how difficult it is for young guys from the Dominican coming to the U.S. to play baseball. Plus it’s entertaining and well-acted (Jose’s only in it briefly.)
by the finest muffins on Jan 26, 2010 7:40 AM EST up reply actions
I enjoyed it too.
Would have been more realistic if they’d have showed Rijo skimming off some of Sugar’s signing bonus.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
woot aaroin hrang

I guess Volquez's music video didn't earn him consideration?

Yup
Edinson doesn’t show up until about 2:58. Maceo is gonna hit Hispaniola like a 7.0 earthquake!

hey! look at that!
Go EV! But who’s the guy in the Reds jersey?
Also… too soon.
