I sorta promised myself I’d lay off posting anything related to the douchebag formerly known as Jose Canseco, pictured here signing autographs for people who mistook him for Erik Estrada.
But then I heard about the chance to be an extra in a movie that is filming at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio, co-starring none other than my favorite admitted juicer/attention whore, and my interest was, as they say, piqued.
“Home Run Showdown” stars not only Jose Canseco, but his twin brother Ozzie as well, and a bevy of B-list actors whose mere presence in this film guarantees a straight-to-video release. Matthew Lillard (Scooby Doo, Scream), Annabeth Gish (The X-Files), Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and Dean Cain (That crappy Superman TV series) are the “stars” you can expect to rub elbows with at this weekends filming at the ballpark.
I smell Oscars! Or is that the rancid stench of failure? Either or, at least the movie has an intriguing and novel premise never seen before in Hollywood…
12-year-old Lorenzo Moore, a young baseball player who’s determined to play ball in the local Colt league, joins a team of misfits coached by Joey Deluca that competes against other teams for the chance to shag balls in the upcoming Major League Home Run Derby.
Uh…huh.
With apologies to the producers, this movie will be beyond terrible. In fact, I can only think of one way for this movie to have any redeeming quality to it…Gary Freaking Busey.
You’re welcome.
