A Few Good Men question

[novelist_wannabe]

So I'm watching A Few Good Men, and in one scene, Kaffee's watching a baseball game on TV. I'd swear it was Braves-Dodgers from Dodger Stadium. You hear a pbp announcer say Ripken scores. So I look it up on IMDB, and they say it's a game between the Twins and Orioles, and it was played a year before the setting of the movie. The game certainly isn't in the Metrodome, and again, I'd swear it was Dodger Stadium. Anybody else notice this in the scene?

Fen using fun with the quote function. Another mantle I'll be passing along soon enough, I'm sure.

I don't like the fact that Demi Moore's hair was always up in that movie. I understand that in the courtroom scenes. But when not in public, she needs to be the sultry goddess she is.

The game was Orioles-Twins. It was the only game I ever saw at Memorial Stadium. Mike Devereaux hit a walk-off single to end what was something like a 16-game Minnesota winning streak.

Watched that movie twice in the past 24 hours. That's what happens when you have the flu, I suppose, but it's a damn fine movie.

I don't think her hair is up. I think it's just really short and combed back.

I knew I hated him for something.

My biggest problem is the courtroom line: I think I'm entitled.

I understand it allows Jessup to go on his ran, but no person would ever say it — especially since entitlement has nothing to do with what happens in a courtroom.

A lot of the back and forth during questioning doesn't actually happen either. Or does it? I'm not sure. I'm sure the JAG courtroom and a regular courtroom are different. I'm just too dumb to know the differences.

Was this guy the umpire?

Does it say what year the game was? My first guess was that it was Memorial Stadium, too.

N_W, Memorial Stadium's backdrop, at a quick glance -- with the two symmetrical scoreboards in left-center and right-center, and the foliage in the background -- might could be mistaken for Dodger Stadium, especially if it was a night game.

June 17, 1991. It was not Mike Devereaux. Funny how the memory plays tricks on you.

Just three outs from extending their club-record winning streak to 16 games, the Twins’ roll came to a sudden halt on a muggy Monday night at Memorial Stadium.

In a game in which the lead changed hands three times, the Baltimore Orioles ruined Minnesota’s streak with a three-run, ninth-inning rally off closer Rick Aguilera to beat the Twins 6-5. After the Twins had the winning run intentionally put on base, Randy Milligan hit a two-out, two-run double off Aguilera to end Minnesota’s streak at 15.

I was expecting the first post to be something along the lines of "can you handle the truth?"

Sweet. I attended my final game on 33rd Street exactly 33 days after that.

This lingering conversation, I fear, is galactically stupid.

Among this movie's many flaws and shortcomings was making Demi Moore look completely unattractive.

Standard example of a movie that has a few big names, is upwards of three hours long, and thus has fans assuming it's much better than it is. The climax was contrived, the leadin to it was overwrought.

We seem to be out of witnesses. I thought I'd drink a little.
