Yo, Invincible



Saw this last night with the gang for Gebhart's birthday. The evening started off with South Street Philly cheesestakes in Burbank--naturally. That place now feels like it's our gang hangout. Our turf! The hotrod drivers can have the Big Boy diners-the Toluca Lake and the cross-dressing one in Glendale

The movie was fun. What a trip back in time. 1970's Philly style. Early in the movie there were cops in uniform and I felt like I was seeing my dad on screen. [ he had a similiar one for the fire department].

Greg Kinnear as Vermeil was great. I wanted to see more scenes of him. He gives a very moving speech to his team just before a game, starting off with the line " Philadelphia fans have suffered.."
My God, I wanted to stand up and yell "Yes!The city has suffered for too long!"
I may have clapped , I don't remember. But I was clapping at every tackle like it was a real game.

  • I'm clueless when it comes to sports. But any movie that stars Philly's okay in my book.

    Did they actually shoot there?

  • That was a great crowd to watch the mooovie (as Lampone would say) with. Too bad the Joey/Guy/Lori (and I guess Susie) could be there to see it with us, at the Sam Eric on Chestnut Steet.

    I went to Papale's website and his story's a real good one- He won the "Player's Award" for giving to various charities, and was named Captain for Special Teams... He's still the oldest rookie in the NFL to this day (he was 30 when he started) if anything that movie taught me that YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD to really do what you what you're passionate about.

    My "new" Day one has started. I'm not sitting around this cubicle anymore...
