It cost 70 million and will star Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow among others. Any takers?
If they can manage to get rid of that annoying sound of the ball or at least change the sound, I woudln’t mind it. But the signature ping-pong sound is a deal-breaker for me.
It’s A24, I’ll give it a shot.
At least it isn’t a sequel or a subpar remake.
Is it called Gnip Gnop? If not, I don’t care.
Is this a reboot of “Balls of Fury”?
Yeah, if it’s not actors in leotards fighting CGI or a reboot of something, I’ll maybe watch it.
Ping pong? I love the game! I won my company’s competition once. I have my name in a trophy, somewhere.
But this movie? Naah I don’t think so.
They’ll never top the scene in Moon where Sam Rockwell plays ping-pong against himself.
Wikipedia says it’s a fictional account of this guy:
Sounds interesting, particularly if it includes
He and Douglas Cartland performed a comedy table tennis routine as the opening act for the Harlem Globetrotters.
but I’d wait for Netflix.
That looks like something I’d get waaay too into vs my brother for three days around Christmas. Tecmobowl, Shoot the Moon, Gnip Gnop.
I’m willing to give it a shot. I’m not a table tennis aficionado, but I do watch my fair share of YouTube videos on it; I played it as a kid; I love the sound; I’m amazed by the reaction times and athleticism of the elite athletes. Sure.
Same.
I really don’t like the dismissive attitude against that particular sport, calling it ping pong instead of table tennis in the first place. I know that it’s not a popular sport in America, but it’s the fastest ball sport in existence and requires incredible athleticism and most of all, reflexes. I’m only an average hobby player, but what the pros are able to do is astounding, some of the most impressive feats I’ve seen in sports have been done by table tennis players.
I’d watch it over golf and bowling, certainly.
By what metric?
Speed of the ball.
ETA: Oops, seems like I was misinformed. I retract that claim.
Not to derail the thread but speaking of athleticism of the elite athletes…
I saw this yesterday.
Jumping rope 228 jumps in 30 seconds. That’s a little over 7 1/2 jumps per second!
It was nearly called Whiff-Whaff. Imagine the world we could have had.
Huh. I woulda gone jai alai.
