The Sofa Kingdom won at the Bards on Thursday, 96-94, over that team that always changes its name. The team then sat by, listlessly, as Johnny discussed the pros and cons of Invincible, which he finally got around to seeing yesterday. Here's Johnny review.
It was a pretty decent movie. It took almost 20 minutes before I cried the first time, but I surprisingly didn't stay a blubbery mess throughout. It used basically every cliche in movie history, which kept it from going from good to great, but hey, that's Disney for you. One funny thing I noticed: As a special nod to the white citizens of South Philly, every black person in this film was a complete and total a******. Then again, if some old black janitor had given Marky Mark a speech about how to keep his head up when the going got tough, it would have been even more hokey and cliched. One ridiculous thing, they screwed up the Philly fight song. They said "Fight, Eagles, Fight, on the Road to Victory", instead of "Fly Eagles Fly". Anyone know why? I have no idea. And one technical screwup I noticed: At the end, the Eagles have 3rd and 10 on their own 5 yard line. The running back then gains nine yards. But on the next play (4th and 1), they have the ball on the 10 instead of the 14. All in all, I recommend it, but it's no Hoosiers.
