Jubeh Throws Like A Girl! **SPOLIER**


Or if we want to be politically correct, he throws a baseball like he is throwing with the opposite arm he was born to throw with. If this was done on purpose to be funny, ok. But I can't shake the feeling that until this film, he (the actor) had never thrown a baseball in his life.

*EDIT* Ok, in the special features, Sakaguchi says he never played baseball in his life, nor did he practice for the part. haha! He DOES throw like a girl!

Speaking of throwing, there was so much emphasis put on Jubeh's Super Tornado pitch, but when it came time to use it...no Super Tornado pitch!

And hey, wth, the English subtitles often flash on the screen and then vanish. This may be my cheapo DVD player, maybe not.

An absurd, ridiculous movie, I enjoyed nearly every minute of it. :)

I loved that Sakaguchi cannot throw to save his life. To me, that made the movie even better.

Brian, there's a message in my AlphaBits. It says "OOOOOO".
Peter, those are Cheerios.
