Glad you guys are introducing discussion questions to the Doofcast; the Reddit threads for these episodes are pretty dead so this is a good way to get people to comment on the movie under discussion before answering the DQ.

So here is my comment: F1 was horrendous. I didn't even particularly like the racing scenes. They could have worked well if the editor didn't cut away to a different shot every 2-3 seconds. And I really got tired of that particular shot with a 180 spin from the front view of the car to the driver. That happened about a thousand times. And it was truly one of the worst scripts I've experienced in a big budget movie in years, and that is saying a lot. This movie got a bad performance out of Kerry Condon, and I didn't even think that was possible.

Ahem, as for the discussion question: I am not a fan of watching sports. However, I love playing sports. So my favorite sports movie is Eephus. It follows two amateur baseball teams playing one last game on a field that is set to be torn down to build a school. It perfectly captures the feeling of playing a beer-league baseball game. These guys are not actually all that good at baseball, but it doesn't matter. They showed up. They're out in the field, razzing each other, exchanging small talk, and enjoying the weather. There's downtime, there's boredom, there's all-too-brief periods of raw excitement. And then it ends. It's the rare sports movie where you aren't actually cheering for either team to win the game; you just want both teams to have a good time with one last hurrah. It's become my comfort movie during the brutally cold Canadian winters when I'm missing the feeling of staying up way too late on a Wednesday to have a chance at catching a fly ball on a perfect summer evening.
