It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table. Build it. They will come 🙏 #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriteSky #AmWriting

neutral · AI labelView post →It is very weird to see a movie try to give baseball's "Field of Dreams"/"The Natural" sepia-toned nostalgia to basketball. The film does everything it can to try and downplay the racial element but it never stops being weird that I'm watching a basketball movie of only white people

positive · AI labelView post →Watching Field of Dreams for the first time. I think maybe that when Republicans talk about when “America was great” they are thinking about a magic baseball field about overcoming male impotence they saw in a movie

neutral · AI labelView post →Here's my hope: that an announcer during the Field of Dreams game mentions Bob Feller. Yes, the Field of Dreams mythology came from a book and then a movie, but first there was Bob Feller and his father, Bill, in small-town Iowa, carving out a farmland diamond. From "Our Team":

positive · AI labelView post →Field of Dreams is a whatever baseball movie, but have ballplayers walk onto a field through a cornfield and I'll cry like a baby.

neutral · AI labelView post →There is a famous mantra from the movie Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." This applies very well to the punishment bureaucracy. It is not the solution to what ails the human spirit, our collective society, or the desperate planet. Never let anyone scare you into forgetting that.
