HEY! Let's crap all over a dead guy! Doesn't that sound like fun?
Of course it doesn't.
But tell that to MGM.
The movie studio just released a new "Collector's Edition" of The Pride Of The Yankees, the classic Lou Gehrig biopic starring Gary Cooper as The Iron Horse and Babe Ruth as Babe Ruth. So where does the corpse-crapping come in? On the DVD's so-called "Featurettes!" Read the list and see if you can find it:
The Making Of The Pride Of The YankeesSpotted it, didn't you? The ketchupiest, most sweatsocky Redsock 'hero' wedding his flab to the world's greatest team's greatest martyr! You know what would be even better? Burning every Lou Gehrig picture and making his name illegal! Might as well!

Thanks a lot, Hollywood! As-effing-usual!

What's next? Dane Cook doing commentary on a Brewster's Millions DVD?
"The Man Behind the Iron Horse" makes me a little ... queasy.
Working title: "Curt Schilling: A Legend On A Legend"
Actual title: "Curt Schilling: A Legend Spills Gravy On A Legend and Then Flags Down the Waitress to Bring a Napkin and Soda Water or Something"
In a related development, Goose Gossage will do a commentary track on the upcoming DVD, "Curt Schilling: What a Jerk!"
These Hollywood pinkos are so out of touch.
Maybe they chose Schilling because there wasn't anyone with enough grit on the Yankees to do it ...
