Friday Night Lights
So, is this movie supposed to be any good? I haven't watched a good football movie in a while, so I'll probably go see it. Not really sure what to expect out of it or whatever though
![]() Also, Roy Williams is in it ![]() \_0__/ ![]() ![]() ![]() Regards, road doggy dogg |

It looks pretty good. It looks like it'll be pretty sappy like Remember the Titans but that can be good.
btw the Roy Williams in the movie is the basketball coach at Kansas University |

It looks pretty good. I saw the preview for it tonight. I told my girlfriend I'd take her when it came out.

Looks like a decent movie. Didn't the book take place back in like the 70's or something? And I guess the takes place in present day.

I think it looks pretty sweet. Also, Supreme, I thought Remember the Titans was a really good movie. Disney coming through again
![]() While we're all waiting, I read a book by John Grisham I think last summer called "Bleachers" It was a book about a bunch of guys coming back to an old school where they were part of a dynasty. Its really good and I read the whole book in a day. |

Looks pretty good, the book was a really good read.
I don't know what you are talking about with the basketball coach thing, Roy Williams, the WR from the Lions is in the movie. He has a really small roll though Roy Williams actaully attended Periman High School, the high school the book/movie is about. |

The book isn't a story as much, a lot of it is describing the setting and stuff. I think the movie will be pretty cool though. And no, it takes me a long time to read 75 pages, well over 30 minutes.

Just saw it tonight, pretty sweet movie. A lot was left out from the book, which I excepted, a few things were done differently too. I really liked the movie, I never lost interest through out the entire time. I wasn't surprised it was a great movie, Friday Night Lights is my favorite book by far.

Yea I think the book would appeal to people who arent even football fans maybe...there is a lot more in the book then just football. For the most part, the movie is focused on football, whereas in the book there is a lot of stuff about politics, more indepth stories of the people in the town, the economy of the town etc

Yeah the book switches off, like every other chapter is about a football game and the other deals with the background of the players, their familys, the town politics, racism, etc etc.

You've got to feel like a douche if youre from Permian and everybody is seeing this movie about how sweet your school is at football, and then getting shut out on national tv. Damn.
