Pointless drivel for pointless people

The most recent reviews of this film only prove what I said in my own review.

This is not a documentary about the Red Sox. It's not a documentary about Red Sox Nation. It's not a documentary at all. It's nonsense. It's only purpose is to provide entertainment for bafoons that have a VERY narrow view of the franchise and a totally erroneous impression of the fans.

The media will have you believe that all Sox fans do is complain about our misfortunes (the same media outlets that criticize this are the ones that insist on reminding us of those misfortunes at every opportunity, but that's another discussion). If that's what you want to believe, then by all means watch this idiotic sob-fest. But if you want to know what it really means to be a Red Sox fan, watch "Still We Believe" (and remember the title, voted on by the FANS). If you're nothing but a Sox hater, you can still get what you want from that film because we all know how the 2003 season ended. But at least you'll walk away with a realistic impression of the fans. This movie won't teach you anything and it's a total waste of time.

And on top of it all, IT'S A BADLY MADE MOVIE!!!

We will see, we will see, Gotham, but I must tell you that during game 7 last year I saw Babe Ruth's gibbering ghost come onto the field as Aaron Boone was up at the plate. The Ghost pointed to the exact spot where Boone was to hit his series ending home run, then merged into Boone's body. The rest is history, and if you deny there is a curse you are in denial.

Next time wait until it's over before you start to gloat. Sucker.

In any case, I wasn't talking about the Red Sox. I was talking about a stupid movie ABOUT the Red Sox. There's a difference.
