Rip....

 

[riverman]

Sadly my last memory of her was the Portlandia Feminist Bookstore skit with Lamarcus

RIP.

She directed one of the truly great sports movies.

There's no crying in baseball.

I thought that was hilarious

I thought that was hilarious

I never thought I'd read Lamarcus and hilarious in the same sentence...I always liked Penny Marshall and enjoyed the skit sans LA

 

[Mediocre Man]

She was a brilliant film maker. She made some of the most heartwarming movies.

I met her 1 time by chance at a store. I said "oh wow, you're Penny Marshall, hello, I love your movies and loved Laverne and Shirley". Lame, I know.

She said "then bring it in", and hugged me. Then said hello to my wife and kids

That was it. Super kind.

Goodbye Penny. And thanks for putting up with Lenny & Squiggy as much as you did. It may not have meant much to the world of light entertainment, But for a friendless, big schnoz having kid, growing up (who always knew he was going to be his town's version of Marty....) Your sitcom showed him how to help create the laughter and not just be the sole reason for it.

She directed A League of their Own.

She produced Cinderella Man.

And she directed a not yet released documentary on Dennis Rodman.

She was a huge sports fan.

She also directed the movie, "Big." One of my favorite movies from that era.

My wife's favorite movie

There's no crying in baseball.

One of the dumbest lines in movie history. Whoever wrote that obviously never had the experience of catching a ricochet bounce from a hard-hit grounder in the groin.

RIP, Penny. You brought a lot of laughter to many people. That's a precious gift.

 

[riverman]

She made me believe that people in Milwaukee have Bronx accents

I've played a lot of baseball and never saw that happen. On the other hand, I've broken three fingers and dislocated one. Never cried, well, not in public, for crying out loud. Men don't cry. Okay, you caught me, I cry at weddings but who could blame me, the bride is so beautiful.

I think Cinderella Man is one of the greatest sports movies ever made...it's safe to say that Penny hit a lot of home runs behind the camera

Whoosh, went right over me.

RIP, Penny. You brought much laughter to my mom while she was alive. That certainly is a precious gift as @e_blazer mentioned in an earlier post.

The movie's line "There's no crying in baseball." was voted as the #54 greatest movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100).

That’s stupid.

Since the movie was about female players, they probably never did have that lovely experience, e_blazer. Men are so fragile.

While at Knotts Berry Farm this past week, one of the gift shops was selling a bunch of Zoltar Christmas ornaments. I was thisclose to buying one, but restrained myself. Now I regret my lack of purchase.

It’s true. I’ll never understand why evolution didn’t provide males with a cup.

Happy holidays, crandc!

Big might be my favorite comedy of all time.

When I was in college I took an "Experimental College" class in Tai Kwon Doe. My instructor taught us what to do when hit in the balls. It was one of the first things he taught us. Apparently, when hitting and kicking someone there are times when the object of a dispute gets hit in the balls. True fact.

In classical ballet, sometimes the woman stands in front of her male partner doing pirouettes on one leg, other leg bent at the knee. Male ballet students quickly learn the correct distance to stand behind their partner.
