What I learned from Saturday afternoon movies
There is not too much good television on Saturday afternoon without cable, especially when the best college basketball game available is Northwestern vs. Purdue. In case you do not follow college basketball at all, this is like watching an Iron Chef with the White Castle french fryer vs. a toaster. I did learn one astounding thing though - there is a sequel to the movie "Angels in the Outfield" called "Angels in the Endzone." Surprisingly, it even stars Christopher Lloyd of the first movie, and yet I had never heard of it until today. There are many valuable lessons to be learned in this movie.
- Christopher Lloyd has a very expensive drug habit
This movie is the epitome of awful, and for Lloyd to star in it reveals severe desperation. The dialogue sounds as if it were the product of tests to see if it is true that an infinite number of monkeys typing at keyboards for an infinite amount of time really could produce Shakespeare's entire works. Unfortunately, in this test, they realized that they only had five hamsters and twenty minutes, and the script to this movie is the result.
- If you have a shitty athletic team, name it the angels
If you pick a name like Warriors or Papermakers, what sort of expectations can you really have for supernatural interference? But with a name like Angels, you can virtually guarantee that an angel who looks like an alcoholic child molester (Lloyd) will come along to help the team. There really is no motive supplied for the interference, but my theory is that the supernatural angels are embarrassed by uncoordinated little bastards who suck at sports representing them.
