    I'll second that.

    I saw it at a critics' screening in New York. Even non basketall fans were ooohing and ahhhhing. All the key moments are nicely dramatized, and, as a treat for all of us, the behind-the-scenes footage is truly astonishing. We get an insider's look at the private moments, like the team messing around in the locker-room, the Thanksgiving dinner, even a scene in Rudy's office where he's translating for Yao the pick and roll.

    As an aside, in a couple of weeks I'm probably going to interview Colin Pine about the movie. I might post a separate thread about it later, but if anyone has any burning questions for him, let me know...

    For sure its going to be at the AMC theaters. I looked up their theater listings for next friday and its going to be at Studio 30, First Colony, and Williowbrook.

    I saw a poster at Cinmark on Westchase (Beltway 8) yesterday when I saw Sin City, so I assume they are going to have it there too.

    Of the 20 who won the tickets, 1 has said they can't make it (so those will go to one of the alternates) and 5 have not yet responded. The deadline to respond to that email is midnight tonight. Those 5 are:

    Just a friendly reminder for so many reasons: Keep the email in your profile current.
