A League of Their Own (1992)
Rosie O’Donnell’s accent in this film just makes me ridiculously happy.
“Girls are playing baseball!? THE WAR IS LEADING TO SEXUAL CONFUSION!” Yes. Of course. Sounds right.
I love that woman for helping Shirley Baker.
I just cannot at all imagine Tom Hanks being anything like he is in this movie. I’m sure he’s not, but he’s such an obnoxious piece of crap in the beginning of this film.
I really hate that they’re giving this drunk asshat Jimmy the credit for the work Dottie does.
Poor Marla. I always want to hug her. They’re so mean to her, and she’s not even ugly. Assholes.
I want to kill this demon child. How can she not keep track of him and stop his mini-terrorist activity on a goddamn bus?
“Start using your head. That's the lump that's three feet above your ass.”
“You think there are men in this country that ain’t seen your bosoms?”
“Hi, my name's Mae, and that's more than a name, that's an attitude.”
Helen Haley: Has anybody seen my new red hat?
Dottie Hinson: Oh piss on your hat.
Helen Haley: That was uncalled for.
This messenger is an asshole. He tells the entire team that one of their husbands is dead. I hope he gets punched in the face. I know he’s fictional. I don’t care. Punch him in the face!
Awww, Bill Paxton saying “Hiya Cutie” just makes my heart happy.
“Avoid the clap. Jimmy Dugan.”
Lori Petty’s face is so excellently expressive. I love her.
I love the Racine Belles’ bus. “Racine Belles, dirt in the skirt”
I absolutely love this movie. The end always makes me so emotional. I’m so happy for them.
Fun fact? Lori Petty was the only girl on a boys' team growing up.
Another fun fact: Some of the extras in the stands and most of the women in the final scenes of them playing baseball as older women? Are the women from the actual A.A.G.P.B.L.
