I know it has been a while since our last post but to be honest the weather here sucks right now and paintball is not happening. And yes, there is always indoor but lets face it....indoor is terrible. Always slipping on the fake turf, twisting ankles, and air conditioning is for the weak minded.
So what is there to do on a rainy day? More after the break.
If you read the title of this post you will know the answer to this question. Watch a good old fashioned American movie on Netflix. Now what movie could I possibly post about on a paintball forum? 300? Saving private Ryan? Spaceballs? None of the above my friends.
We are talking about the best, and only if memory serves me correctly, paintball movie on God's green Earth. Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story
I am a subscriber to netflix which allows me to watch certain videos instantly straight from my PC. I came across this little gem and the users gave it an average of 2.5/5 stars. I had my doubts at first I must admit. I figured why not. Since I can't play paintball due to the torrential down pour I may as well watch a movie about it. And, since I love you all so much, I have provided a link to watch the movie courtesy of our friends over at HULU. Click here to watch the movie in its entirety!!!
What I got was a hour and a half of genius!!! This is hands down one of the funnier movies that I have seen in a long while. I caught myself laughing out loud which was not too popular with the wife at 12:30 in the morning.
The movie stars Rob Corddry which you may know him from some of the following films:
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Blades of Glory
Old School
Not to mention television:
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (anyone? yea he is hilarious)
The movie is basically about a baller that wiped once in a tournament and the lingering shame has "blackballed" him from the sport for a decade. When he returns, ready to play again, he is faced with multiple rejections from people that he used to ball with. All Bobby wanted was a team that he could play with. So he recruits a rag tag group of players; trains them, mentors them, conditions them, and plays the big tournament with them.
This is no spoiler so you will just have to watch for yourselves. Believe me when I say that you will laugh hysterically at this movie and nod your head in agreement to some of the things that only a paintballer would understand. Not to mention, Rob Corddry has some pretty decent moves and you can really tell that he has been a player for a while. Pay extra special attention to the way that he switches hands with his paintball gun. Fluid movements and a nice little teaching tool for anyone. Did I mention he is hilarious?!?!?!?
A must see. Paintball Haven gives "Blackballed: the Bobby Dukes Story":
***** 5 STARS!!!
=b d= and 2 HUGE thumbs up!!!
If it is not raining, get out there and shoot some one. If it is raining, watch this movie!
