My office is 5 minutes away from them and I pass their offices every day on my commute to work.

If I didn't mind a frivolous lawsuit that'd ruin my life I'd go ask if I could rent a Hitler costume for Halloween since their google listing is for Costume Rentals.

How much are life-sized cardboard cut-outs?

Unrelated*: Can someone start a fundraiser to make up a bunch of cardboard cut-outs of the offending photo and have Good Dog place them all about the H&A property over night?

The 2005 version of the Bad News Bears is the same story as the 1976 version, but it is far from the same movie.

The 1976 movie is a classic. The late Walther Matthau was perfectly cast as the lovable boozer, coach Buttermaker. Tatum O'Neil, who already had an Academy Award in her trophy case, brought comedy and tenderness to the movie as the tenacious, yet emotionally fragile pitcher, Amanda. While the movie was hilarious and a great social commentary on an American institution, it was the tender relationship between Matthau and O'Neal that made the movie work.

The remake is commendable for staying so true to the original; the few differences include an updated demographic mix of players and updated scenes- skateboard parks replaced pool halls and Hooters replaced Pizza Hut.

Despite the fidelity to the original, the remake fouls classic lines and the relationship between Amanda and Buttermaker strikes out. The cast of the remake turns in a minor league performance. Except for Billy Bob Thorton as coach Buttermaker and Greg Kinnear who played the roll of the opposing coach who was originally played by Vic Morrow, the casting was very poor. The modern cast of supporting players whiff on comic timing where the old cast hit homeruns. They seem as poorly coached on the set as their characters did on the field.

Billy Bob Thorton is the only actor of this generation that could even attempt to follow in Matthau's cleats. And while Thorton does a good job putting his own touches on Buttermaker, his acting often seems uninspired and doesn't generate the sympathy that one felt for Mathau's portrayal. Nevertheless, it is his performance that makes the movie tolerable. His best scenes are with Kinnear.

The original's score of classical music provided a subtle backdrop for the crass comedy. The remake uses the classical music too sparingly. The entire juxtaposition of innocence and vulgarity that worked so well in the original is also out of whack.

As far as remakes go, the 2005 version is average, but it is no substitute for original. Billy Bob Thorton fans will definitely want to watch it, but anyone else should sit this one out.
