Tenuously Relating Movies to Ultimate

Rounders

me: Every practice where a player shows up and goes hard, that player earns 1 cent for the team.  The perfect practice is worth $0.25, but most are probably in the $0.10-$0.20 range.

Pacific Rim

me: I was watching Pacific Rim the other day.  The parallels to ultimate are obvious.

KB: Immensely obvious.  You need a partner.

me: Yes.  To take it one step further, your team is your jaeger and you fight other jaegers.  You are joined by your common cause, unified in battle.

me: Or, your opponents are kaiju whom you can only defeat by teaming up.

me: Pacific Rim is really a metaphor for life in general.

me: It really is a terribly acted movie, as an aside.  Thankfully that is irrelevant to the movie.
