Friday Night Lights was released on 8 October 2004.

Directed and co-written (with David Aaron Cohen) by Peter Berg, the film was loosely based on H. G. Bissinger's 1990 nonfiction book Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream.

It was Berg's 3rd film as director, and the success of the film led to his developing the TV series of the same name (but none of the nonfiction elements) in 2006.

Totally Random Non-Fiction Tuesday

I always like reading about a different and interesting sort of game (longest ever minor league game, that sort of thing). This was one of those games. It’s football (American) and takes place on Christmas Eve 1944. Two Marine regiments (the 4th and the 29th) played a game to see which had the better players (and, apparently there were actually former all american players in the regiments, as well as those who were Captains for places like Notre Dame or Brown, and, a bunch of those who played in this game, would also play in the NFL). Another less awesome statistic from the book was that sooner rather than later 15 of the 65 men who played in the game were killed in Okinawa. But, this book was definitely not all just stats (good or bad). Not surprisingly since it was written by the author who wrote Friday Night Lights, but, the book sucked me in and kept me turning the page to learn about this game and the men who played in it.
