Link: Sanchez and The Blind Side Premiere
Not sure how we missed this one from a few weeks ago, but in a column on New York Magazine’s website, author Michael Lewis talked to a reporter about the film adaptation of his book The Blind Side and the movie’s effect on NFL quarterbacks and even former Monica Lewinsky scandal investigators.
At the New York premiere of the film last night, Vulture caught up with Lewis and asked him about his somewhat uneasy relationship with movie studios, why this movie makes everyone from New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez to former White House special prosecutor Ken Starr cry,
I distinctly remember watching Dead Poets Society as a young kid and noticing a salty discharge from around my eyes and told myself “I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry …” so I’m not exactly going to throw any stones here.

Not many men have withstood a tough tear jerking moment in a movie.

Brian’s Song, anyone? Things also got a little misty when I saw Friday Night Lights, too.

Any movie where a dog dies (old yeller, where the red fern grows, turner and hooch, etc).
Its pretty much guaranteed to spark the waterworks.

No wonder we can’t win. All we talk about is crying in relation to this team.

There’s a massive gap between Dead Poets Society and any Sandra Bullock vehicle. Throw in the fact that the book is really about the maturation of the LT market and not about a Southern Belle who takes in an African American teenager that’s never had a bed. You might as well be tearing up at a very special episode of the Golden Girls. To think Lewis went from Steven Sodergergh (sp?) wanting to do Moneyball, to Sandra Bullock wanting to star in a Hallmark movie…
I say we call the Post and have them run a totally awesome headline called “Cryin Sanchize” with photo-shopped tear drops on his picture. “Awesome” being the operative word.
Yeah, if Sanchez wants to cry at movies in his spare time, then he can be my guest.
