A movie that looks stupid and Fantasy Baseball

First things first.  I have been pretty lax with setting up one of my fantasy baseball leagues.  It is a pretty basic 5×5 league, with an autodraft.  If you are interested in joining, here is the info from Yahoo Sports:

In order to join the league, follow the link above

> click the “Sign Up Now” or “Get Another Team” button

Ok, and one other topic.  Do you ever click on an ad for a movie, just because you think it looks stupid?  I know I do.  Last night as I was setting up my fantasy baseball team for another league (hello Sammy Sosa, goodbye Michael Cuddyer), I noticed an ad for what looked to be a really dumb movie.  It was advertised as ‘Rocky for the Soul.’  Let’s just dwell on that for a moment.  Not only is it moronic, it’s derivative.  But, if it wasn’t derivative enough, they’re using the same song that Six Feet Under in its final episode used as their theme music. 

Oh, the movie by the way is called something like the silent warrior or the quiet warrior or something.  It has Nick Nolte in it.  Back to making fun of it’s trailer though.  The trailer proudly tells us that it has been endorsed by Tony Robbins (are you fucking serious?!?!  This is a good thing?), Sting (since when do we need “heart-warming” movies endorsed by megalomaniacs?), and Depak Chopra (is there anything more hilarious than people taking this guy seriously?  no).

The scenes from the movie are hilarious too.  God, I can’t wait to read the real reviews for this thing.
