I was with you until you denigrated We Are Marshall. I grew up near Huntington and knew the brother of one of the 4 players whose bodies couldn't be identified. Calling a movie about a real-life tragedy of that magnitude a sap-fest makes it sound like some dopey rom-com or typical underdog football story, which it isn't. I know Psychology instructors who use it to demonstrate the grief process to their classes. Aside from that, it's nice to have another movie to add to my oh-so-small WV movies collection, right up there with October Sky and Matewan.

Say what you want about Speed Racer but he was awesome as Racer X. His face at the end, when he's asked if he made the right decision to stay 'away' from his family was great acting.

Ooops, correction. He's done TWO lots of 6 years of TV which makes 12 long years.

@ Nan- Get over it. Just because the events portrayed were based on something that really happened doesn't mean that the movie wasn't a sap-fest. They are not the same thing- it was not a documentary after all. You can criticize the movie without criticizing the real-life people. We're not 5 here- I think we can make the distinction.

I have to back Nan up on this one. I'm not one that is overly sensitive and "PC" - if someone calls a movie I like sappy or a chick-flick I can laugh and agree. But in this case the content of the movie was real, not just sappy melodrama. The plane crash happened. Real people died. It devastated the entire community. I am from Huntington, my mom went to Marshall and was pregnant with me when the plane crashed. She had friends on the plane, and was close friends with the girlfriend of the quarterback. I moved to Ohio when I was 5, but I grew up knowing the story. I have come to realize that "outsiders" don't fully get it. To really understand the impact the plane crash had on Huntington, you have to know how much that school means to the community. Huntington is small, although big by WV standards, and is a mostly lower income, working-class community. Marshall University IS Huntington. Marshall football was, and still is, the pride of the community. There are no pro sports teams in the state. The only other "big" sports team is WVU. If you have ever seen Friday Night Lights, it is the same feel. You drive through downtown and you see green and white everywhere. Businesses, houses, cars, people. A lot of cities have a sports team with a loyal following. But to Huntington, that was all they had. To the people of Huntington (myself included) there is nothing sappy about that tragedy or the movie. I would agree the movie wasn’t a hit, and wasn’t the best movie made that year, but to dismiss it as sappy just for purpose of having an example is doing a disservice to the people that died and the community that survived. I get this is supposed to be a light-hearted take on why Matthew Fox should stick to TV, but I think his short movie resume itself is the best example.

I love Fox, think he's been great on LOST and I for one would like for him to continue with TV for the simple reason that, as mentioned, I'd get to see him every week! Still, I wish him the best in films or whatever he chooses to do.

Well, if he's thinking about jumping into porn, then I'm all for it!

He is truly talented and is going to really surprise people in the coming years with some very different roles.
