I did not like the movie Slap Shot. I watched it three times. Does this mean I lose my hockey fanatic papers?

YES.

YES.
Tapeleg said: If you say anything bad about "Miracle" we are going to have a problem.
Somedays, I am not sure why Slapshot is such a classic, but then I watch the intro, and it reminds me why.
Heather said: Sigh. Then where do I send 'em, Brushback? Gary Bettman?
And I love me some 'Miracle,' Tapeleg. 'Slap Shot' was the only hockey movie I've ever seen that didn't "take" with me. And I don't know why. I blame Disney and their Mighty Ducks Trilogy.
Kim said: Mystery, Alaska is a good one too. Probably the only time I've ever liked Russell Crowe.
Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah said: Don't tell anyone, but I'm not into it either.
I also think "Bull Durham" sucked, but that is a problem I have with Kevin Costner.
Heather said: Well, that's to be expected. Kevin Costner is not all that appealing as an actor. Mostly because his acting range doesn't go beyond "wet blanket" or "angry wet blanket."
Tapeleg said: The commentary track on the Slapshot DVD is pretty funny. But that probably won't take either. Still...
I have a copy of "The Boys" sitting around here somewhere, waiting for some attention.
A few years back, while in Boston, I did a Hockey Night in Boston party (this was during the lockout, mind you), where a bunch of non hockey fans came over for drinks, rod hockey, and a Miracle screening. I laid out most of the jersey collection for everyone to pick one and wear, and gave out hockey cards as a door prize. Great night. But defidently a Miracle crowd, not a Slapshot crowd.
