Movie Review: How Do You Know

Rating: PG-13
Running time: 116 minutes
Box Office Gross: $47,707,151
Site Rating: 1 out of 10 stars
"How Do You Know" stars Reese Witherspoon as a baseball player and Olympic athlete, who is dropped from the national team, much to her distress. She begins dating a womanizing baseball player in Washington, DC, who she unwisely moves in with, without the benefit of a marriage.
Disasters comes next, as she realizes how selfish he can be. During the fighting, she continually confides in an executive she met, who is in legal hot water, thanks to his unscrupulous dad. I found this film very difficult to watch. No, not cause I’m dumb, because I’m not, but because the movie is quite tedious.
The well-known names starring in this film, Jack Nicholson and Reese Witherspoon, could not bring butts into movie theatres to see this disaster on celluloid and there is a reason for that. It is not a good or entertaining movie. Actually, it’s quite irritating. Seriously, this movie was bad.
The only thing funny and interesting about this film is Sony spent $120,000,000 to make the movie and only made $47,707,151 of that money back (and that's before taxes). Comedy indeed.Source URL: https://crystal-harris-sum.blogspot.com/search/label/baseball

Atlanta Braves Coach Threatened With Lawsuit Over Alleged Gay Slur

Roger McDowell
Atlanta Braves coach, Roger McDowell, is being threatened with a lawsuit for telling three men at a San Francisco ball park, "Are you a homo couple or a threesome." McDowell also went on to say "Are you three giving it to each other in the ***" while using as baseball bat to illustrate. When one of the gay men confronted McDowell, he allegedly stated, "How much are your teeth worth."
What's puzzling is gay bloggers such as Perez Hilton and Michael of Dlisted, routinely use the word "homo" which is short for homosexual. On the television show "The Golden Girls" which is constantly lauded by gays, the word "homo" is used, when describing Blanche's brother Clayton. The character Rose, said to roommate Dorothy, "Clayton is a homo" upon discovering he is gay.
The word "queer" was also used on the show. The "Golden Girls" had a gay sitcom writer as well, Marc Cherry, who went on to hit actress Nicollette Sheridan in the head for verbally disagreeing with an item in his script for the show "Desperate Housewives." The assault resulted in a lawsuit .
My point, how are straight people supposed to know what is offensive speech to gays, when homosexuals are using the exact same language and asking heterosexuals the same kind of questions. If it proves true, McDowell's alleged statement, "How much are your teeth worth" can be construed as a threat of potential violence and the claim he used a bat to simulate gay sex can be deemed sexually lewd. However, calling a man "homo" when homosexuals and others they champion use the same term in referencing them, seems like a double standard from gay people.
In Hollywood and the blogosphere, many gay people have used very crude terms to refer to the sex lives of heterosexuals, even asking straight people very lewd and deeply personal sexual questions. Gays have even fondled straight women in public settings. None of this conduct is appropriate, but has clearly led straight people to believe they can speak to gays in the same manner they have addressed them. Some guidelines need to be set to avoid offense in the future, taking into account the First Amendment, of course.

Last year at a baseball game Obama's "dad jeans" pictured above, caused quite a stir on fashion don't lists in America. Fashionistas were not pleased.

Obama launches Nationals year; Makes first pitch
Monday, April 5, 2010 - WASHINGTON -- In front of thousands of fans, President Barack Obama strolled to the pitcher's mound and tossed a baseball to Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, officially launching the team's baseball season.
The setting - freshly cut grass, a brilliant sun and clear skies - was a picture-postcard quality introduction to a new Major League Baseball season. And the lanky Obama, appearing in khakis and a Washington Nationals warmup jacket, was the star attraction for a moment...
