Anyone watch this tonight? It brought back a lot of wonderful memories though it was a shame how everyone's career ended. I didn't realize that the Cubs still won't invite Sosa back to Wrigley.
What a lousy 30 for 30, sooooo boring.
a lot of 30 for 30s are actually bad. i laugh at how they're lauded for being amazing filmmaking when a lot them really are not very good or well-madei haven't watched this one yet but im disappointed it was not well-received. how do you freak this up?
What do you consider essential elements of good filmmaking for one of these? Mostly they just seem to be original highlights interspersed with interviews.
Seriously? I enjoyed it immensely.
those are essentials if you're telling the story of something like this, but 95% of sports documentaries are the same thing (highlights + interviews, maybe some BTS footage or something). The number of sports docs that get creative are small. sunderland til i die is one of the few ones recently that i think is actually a good one (really, really good). even the last dance basically just relied on never-before-seen footage and some new stories rather than anything groundbreakingi remember watching the ricky williams 30 for 30 and thinking it looked like a student film
At least Last Dance did have new stories, if you're going to do a documentary you should bring something new to it and this one had zero that I hadn't already seen and read.
Sunderland was good. I think it’s unusual though for a team to grant that much access to their players and management while seasons are ongoing. They found some good fans to feature also that helped the story.
I forgot how awful standard definition is
Imagine growing up with old TVs and black and white. And four channels.
And wired remotes, and UHF!
When I was a kid, I was the remote.
Sammy Sosa has a very interesting Pinterest. No idea what Big Mac is doing now.
Hes a hitting coach.
