eephus movie

 this afternoon i went to see a movie, 'Eephus', at St. Anthony main in Minneapolis. this is a baseball movie. the funniest lines in the movie weren't from the players, but the umpires and spectators. i saw it as a farce, as the game continued even after the umpires left, and it got dark. as a big baseball fan i knew i would see it if it got a release to theaters. there were some quotes from greats such as branch rickey and Yogi Berra in the transitions, or the beginning of each 'chapter'. plenty of classic cars in it, including a Plymouth Road Runner and a Chevy Camaro IROC. and i noticed a General Electric boom box in the dugout. one spectator had a white nacho bowl at his table. i have some of those, i found them at baseball games and use them as cereal bowls. the premise was one last game between two 'beer league' teams before demolition of the venue. i did get a small popcorn and a small drinking cup, i put fruit punch in it. i picked up a card as well, it was all i could find to remind me about the upcoming film festival at this venue next month. although the card was about membership, instead of being about the festival. the movie is named after a rare pitch. i guess there were some notables that made cameos, although i was unfamiliar with most of the actors in it. the radio announcer happened to be a former red sox announcer, and bill 'spaceman' lee pitched one inning in the game, a former red sox pitcher. i have some of his cards. no surprise there, as usually the only role that a non-actor will play is themselves. i had lunch at Ikea, using a birthday offer, free cake. i had the meatball meal. i called an audible on which screening i attended, as i knew i didn't make it in time to find parking. i decided to go shop at Rosedale mall in Roseville, and attend the next screening, three hours later. i bought three items there. first was a dairy queen blizzard, the flavor of the month, mint Oreo. then there were some shoes-using two gift cards- at JC Penney. finally, a pack of baseball cards out of a vending machine. i said 'worth it!' about the cards as it was just five dollars. it was the cheapest item in the machine, likely due to being ones that were already two years old. i didn't do much after the movie, besides having pizza for the evening meal and doing the dishes. i did laundry in the morning. during my walks i found 1 dollar 1 cent.
