>>220317865>touches a ball at the wall, turning it into a home runBaseball makes no bloody sense.
>>220318775You're preventing the player from catching said ball.

>>220317865Chris pine is a nepo baby
>>220319311Emma Stone is a nepo tadpole
>>220318879K I N O
>>220318775Probably influenced by this guy, Cubs fans literally wanted him murderedhttps://youtu.be/vq8G81oOHhY?
>>220317865>Damn he looks old now>His Star Trek film was in 2009Ouch.
>>220319353Her real name is Emily
reminds me of The Other Guys where Marky shoots a player in the leg and everyone hates him
Another jew boy gets the white girl movie
At least she didn't wear the wrong hat
>>220318775the wall is undefeated
>>220317865Damn, Chris Pine auditioned for the Jake Sully part in Avatar. Imagine how that would've turned out
>>220317865There's a movie that just came out with Marky Mark where he fucks up the world cup and all of Brazil wants him dead.

>>220317865Basically a gender swapped story with Stone shoved in to appeal to women. WHAT THE FUCK. All this shit is trash
>>220320972Shades of Andres Escobar. Soccer fans are fucking ruthlesshttps://youtu.be/kk6f4enUo6w?
>>220317865>So, what could possibly entice Stone to take on this project, which happens to be her first rom-com in over a decade? Well, “The Catch” is directed by Dave McCary—who also happens to be Stone’s husband.

>>220320123>abrams trek is almost 20 years old
>>220321137Lol, thanks for the explanation. It looks like a guaranteed bomb. Chris Pine is a nobody at this point, and Emma is not capable of carry a press tour to generate buzz like Dakota Johnson did last year with Materialists. It should lose less money than Margot Robbie's A Big Bold Beautiful Bomb (Journey) did last year.
>>220321587Good imitation of a catty fag, anon.
>>220317865I can't suspend disbelief enough to imagine him liking women
>>220317865they're both good at comedies. unironically, could be a good moobie if the script isn't netflix-tier.
>>220319353She is not, she is actually based and high agency>She grew up in Arizona and began acting in local theater before moving to Los Angeles at age 15 with her mother to pursue acting, a move she pitched to her parents via a PowerPoint presentation
>>220317865>What if Steve Bartman was a cute girl?
>>220321819Every story on Earth could potentially make a good movie if the script is well-written. For Stone to get attached I suspect it has to be somewhat decent but the overall level of script-writing in contemporary Hollywood is utter dogshit so it's probably just okay at best.
>>220317865Any mating press scenes?
