100 Things I learned from 'The Open Road'


I'll start:
1) Minor League Baseball players with marginal talent can afford a Red Hummer.
2) there is a huge market for nostalgic meet-a-Houston Astro conventions in Ohio, and they are well-attended.
3) Baseball players avoid driving on Interstates if at all possible.
4) Ex-wives of neer-do-well baseball players desperately want their ex to be at their hospital bed.
5) Ohio convention centers look exactly like Reliant Center in Houston.
6) Johnny's a good man because Lonestar said so.

I think he's only renting the red Hummer. He definitely can't afford it on a minor leaguer's pay..

correct- it was a rental.

7. Don't bother to start a "100 Things I learned from" thread concerning a movie hardly anyone has heard of. (Not enough traffic.)
8. Don't make a movie wherein one character is repeatedly frustrated by another character's almost treacherous resistance to doing a good thing that he ought to do. (It's not too much fun to watch for most people.)

I thought this was a good movie. I would watch it for Kate Mara alone.

9. You can screw up as much as you like, Kate Mara will be there for you at the end anyway, even if you are interrupting her everytime she says "there's something I want to tell you...".

10. If you want to be somewhere else as fast as possible, hog along at 20 miles per hour on some rural roads.

11. The moment you are bonding with your Pa again is the moment you are wrestling him onto the floor. Hugging done in a manly way, that is.

12. You can't loose in live when Harry Dean Stanton is your Grandpa.

13. If someone jumps out ouf your car, go after him and let the car stay in the middle of the road.

14. If you make a road trip, do not use GPS. Instead hand out a map to the only women in the car.
