Earnhardt Earns A Film

ESPN is doing it...and if it's anything like A Season On the Brink, it's probably going to suck.

Seriously, have you ever seen A Season On the Brink? These aren't word-for-word the actual quotes, but people at an UNC hoops message board I occasionally visit described the "movie" best when it came out a couple of years ago...

"This would barely pass as a C for my eighth-grader son's film project."

"Are they playing in a high school gym? College arenas don't have only five rows of bleachers. Not even Cameron Indoor Stadium. Pathetic, even for a low budget film."

"The "edited version" is a joke...it's just the constant profanity being replaced with shrill beeps (Which are basically every other second). You might as well watch the "unedited version", if you can stand the content (And no, I'm not talking about the words)."

I remember my brother and I discussing what a joke the "edited version" of A Season... was while watching it (and laughing our butts off). We kept saying to each other "What was the point?". That and the "All that advertising for THIS?!" were frequently said. I will never forget the repeititive advertising for A Season......every five minutes during various games, college hoops or something else, an annoying animation advertising the said movie would pop up. The ad/s was/were not nearly as irritating as the Winter X Games ads, thanks to those having oh so great sound effects. (rolls her eyes) Ugh. Anyway, A Season...'s ads did work, for the movie was, IIRC, the most viewed thing on ESPN that year. But, that still doesn't stop me and quite a few from saying it sucks.
