neutral · AI labelView post →Theres a scene in the movie Cinderella Man where Max Baer is yapping at the ref while Braddock is still pinching his face in... Somewhere in there is an analogy for US war mentality

Best of all, profits from the book go to the Ricky Hatton Foundation. #booksky #books #movies

neutral · AI labelView post →I just want things to be normal and predictable and boring so I can read books and make dumb jokes and puns and talk about how TIME BANDITS is my favorite movie and CINDERELLA MAN is the worst movie ever made. Is that so much to ask?
negative · AI labelView post →fuck Ron Howard forever and ever for making a movie about this prick. (and also for CINDERELLA MAN. What a piece of shit that movie was as well)
negative · AI labelView post →I started out my slothful holiday weekend of movies with Cinderella Man, which as far as I'm concerned is the best movie almost all these actors ever made, and also Ron Howard's next-best movie (after Apollo 13), and also it has a perfect score from Thomas Newman.
positive · AI labelView post →I don’t think young people today have any idea how bad the Depression was. I’d suggest they watched Cinderella Man to get a tiny idea in a great story/movie. And The Grapes of Wrath for a much fuller context. It’s was much worse than most people who experienced it ever said. Much worse.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Cinderella Man, such a good movie. What people have gone through in the US to survive is amazing. Now we have lies, cheaters and grift.
positive · AI labelView post →Kinda disagree, I think I've always seen her as kind of this gangster homage to like James Caan in The godfather with a more relaxed looking bartender-ish outfit, with the suspenders and the wife lover, and then something like kind of the older boxing movies despite, my use of Cinderella Man here.
neutral · AI labelView post →Someone brought up the movie CINDERELLA MAN in conversation and now I'm re-mad, being reminded that useless piece of shit film ever existed. It is a work of such towering, useless mediocrity & offends me on nearly every level.
negative · AI labelView post →SHAWSHANK- it's a solid 6.5 to a 7 that people praise as a 10. FORREST GUMP is bad in every way possible to the point of camp. CINDERELLA MAN is one of the worst, ugliest, most pointless movies ever made & certainly the worst boxing movie ever made.
negative · AI labelView post →90 years ago today James Braddock became known as "The Cinderella Man" (yes, the movie) for his monumental 15-rd upset decision of Max Baer to shockingly win the heavyweight championship. Here are two awesome Braddock cards in my #boxing collection.

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s so funny you say that, bc in high school, I went to 2 #movies with friends that were totally empty, & we basically Mystery Science Theater 3000’d it (very formative; it’s still what I’m doing every time I watch a #movie), and the 2 films were: Cinderella Man & The Core 🤯 #FilmSky #MovieSky 🎥

neutral · AI labelView post →"Cinderella Man is a 2005 American biographical drama film" "It tells the true story of heavyweight boxing champion James J. Braddock, who was dubbed "The Cinderella Man" by journalist Damon Runyon." 6/13/35 - Braddock defeats the invincible Baer to become the heavyweight champion of the world...
neutral · AI labelView post →I was obsessed with Cinderella Man when I was in college, for some reason. In retrospect, Paul Giamatti carried that movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ron Howard ALREADY should never be forgiven for the world's worst & most unnecessary movie, CINDERELLA MAN, but applying that same mediocre, ready-for-mainstream-dumb-consumption churn thing he does to Vance's sociopathic fictional autobiography? Ugh.
negative · AI labelView post →Cinderella Man is a Boxing Day movie. Did I do it right? Lol
neutral · AI labelView post →The "film" of the Max Baer vs Frankie Campbell fight in "Cinderella Man" is a lie. Referee Toby Irwin was in dire financial straights and ripe for a bribe by racketeers. He was a "favored pet" of the CA state commissioner, who was getting cuts of Baer's purses. Irwin allowed Baer to throw over 1/2
neutral · AI labelView post →Hilarious that this movie is trying to sell Craig Bierko as physically intimidating. Tell us another one, Cinderella Man!
negative · AI labelView post →Right now, I am watching the 2005 movie Cinderella Man

positive · AI labelView post →The Cinderella Man -- Good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →He filmed in Toronto for Cinderella Man and while I missed him every fucking time (I’m still bitter, shut up!) he came to the movie theatre I worked at a few times. I would have given a lot of parts and bits and bits and parts if I could have been there when he stopped by.

neutral · AI labelView post →Braddock is a hero worth waxing lyrical about. Cinderella Man belongs in any boxing film book.
positive · AI labelView post →The ILWU was formed by an Australian Socialist named Harry Bridges, after a coast wide strike shut down all the harbors in 1934. We got them to sign us a contract which mandated UNION run dispatch, unlike the dispatch one sees in the movie Cinderella Man.
neutral · AI labelView post →Master and Commander is my second favorite movie (Shawshank). It amazes me that Russel Crowe can play such admirable men (LAConfidential, Gladiator, Cinderella Man) while being such a miserable piece of shiat.
positive · AI labelView post →We watched Les Miserables in French class (the one from the 70s, I think, that was actually IN French) "Separate But Equal," the TV movie with Sidney Poitier and Burt Lancaster The late great Joe Boyle told me when he was teaching about the Great Depression, he'd have the kids watch "Cinderella Man"
neutral · AI labelView post →Mostly, but inconsistent there as well. Apollo 13 is a Very Good film, but I would not call it a classic. A Beautiful Mind was obscenely overrated. Never saw Cinderella Man and will probably keep that streak intact.
neutral · AI labelView post →17-year-old: Dad, have you seen Cinderella Man? Me: Yeah, man, it’s an old Disney movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →That's so wild you say that. That, along with Cinderella Man, was, like, THE film that I watched with high-school friends in an empty theatre, where we just got to try and crack each other up at how bad the movies were, and it was a formative experience. It's basically what I do now, lol 😅
negative · AI labelView post →I think I read somewhere that Scott really wanted Russell Crowe but Crowe was shooting something else (Cinderella Man?) and Scott became impatient because the film was set up and ready to go so he cast Bloom quite late.

neutral · AI labelView post →Y'all ever seen Cinderella Man? With Russell Crowe? Not, like, physically with him, he's in the film. Anywho, Craig Bierko plays Max Baer. He's ruthless, nasty, vicious. In reality, there was a REAL Max Baer, he was none of those things. Also, his son became an actor. Beverly Hillbillies. Jethro.

neutral · AI labelView post →gonna give the Jim Henson doc a try this weekend. Hopefully it will make me forgive Ron Howard for the execrable CINDERELLA MAN. That movie is like my Abbott & Costello "Niagara Falls." Being reminded of its existence makes me want to beat the shit out of someone.
negative · AI labelView post →If that movie had a better cast villain, it would be classic. Same guy ruined CINDERELLA MAN. There's something essentially not-there and fake with everything he does.
negative · AI labelView post →Watching Cinderella Man tonight. God I love that movie. One of Russell Crowe/Ron Howard best.
