Home Run

Bull Durham is one of my all-time favorite movies. I could watch that sh*t every hour on the hour for probably an entire weekend before getting even a little sick of it. Let’s face it, Kevin Costner (as Dbaggy in real life as he seems) is at the top of his game—no pun intended—and by the time he gets done with his “I believe” monologue just stick a fork in me OK? Thanks. But the real genius is Susan Sarandon. She’s already technically a bit past her prime at this point (1988), yet so very simmering and fluttery and carnal. Tim Robbins is 10 years younger than her and the on-screen chemistry was so intense it continued off-screen into a decades-long marriage. But wait, they’re getting divorced. I heard that and I was like WHAT. And being a product of our effed up society, I immediately thought: Tim’s got himself a younger gal. But (hehehehe) joke’s on me. Because Soos has outdone herself again, this time with a rumored 30-something beau. And I would call the bluff of Page Six and others if I hadn’t sat behind her and said beau at a recent screening. Not saying I witnessed anything randy. I actually thought he was cute and was all, is that her son? So maybe it is hearsay. But I wouldn’t put it past her. And that is why she continues to be awesome.
