1) before today's game, freddy garcia had received a total of 13 runs of support the entire season.

2) before today's game, no team had recorded a save against the redsox at fenway.

now, while trying to find good reviews of the greatest movie of all time (windy city heat), i've found basically two camps.

A) It can't be real. nobody would actually believe that. it's too over the top.

B) it has to be real. Eddie (is that his name?) can't be in on the joke b/c he's not a good enough actor to pretend to be "real".

as for A), that's not "proof". These people make these statements like it erases all doubt.

It's B) that bothers me more though. Assuming, arguendo, that the "joke is on us" and he's in on the joke, then why on earth would he assume that his bad acting is "real"????? Maybe he really is a good actor. in fact, i imagine playing a bad actor is pretty easy. The cliche that always annoyed me is when people would talk about lisa kudrow and say "oh, it must be tough for her to play dumb b/c she's so smart in real life'. come again? is saying "i don't get it" or "huh" really that hard a concept to master? By that definition, there could be no such thing as acting. litterally, people could only play themselves.

this movie HAS to be real. i think i would cry if i learned otherwise.
