Dodgeball
Jfer and I had a movie date on Friday night. We were hoping to see Fahrenheit 9/11 (or, as I like to think of it, Centigrade 4/88) but it was hopelessly sold out. This allowed me to convince Jfer that we had to see Dodgeball.
Just as with Old School, Jfer pretended that she wasn't interested and ended up laughing harder than me. Overall, it's a great, light hearted comedy which probably brings back long-suppressed memories of old dodgeball matches. Unfortunately (or probably luckily) I never got to play dodgeball growing up -- we had a similar game but played it with one or more volleyballs. They hurt a lot more when you get hit in the face.
Apparently the movie's American Dodgeball Association of America (ADAA) is fictional, but there exists the American Dodgeball Federation (ADF), as well as the neatly acronymed National Amateur Dodgeball Association (NADA). There is also the International Dodge-Ball Federation which happens to have an annoyingly slow, flash intro page on their website.
So, I give thumbs up to the movie. We'll probably wait for the 4th of July to see Michael Moore's propaganda flick.

I saw the movie on Friday and it was propoganda but it was pretty chilling. Those 7 minutes in a Florida school is probably the most telling part of how effective GWB is as a leader.
I commented on the entry from June 2, thinking that was this entry. After I posted my comment, I decided it was a weird title (Dodgeball) for what you wrote. Then I looked at the rest of the comments and saw that they were made on June 2. So, please look back at that comment to see what I wrote about this entry.
Hoever, I would like to add the following: I use to be very good at dodgeball at Catholic school. When choosing sides I was among the first to be chosen, unlike baseball and basketball.
