Movie Review: SPACE JAM
- pure flashback awesomeness
- compare how I remember it to how many jokes I get now
  - sexual referencs
    - Woman Fan: This guy next to me is doing something very weird in his raincoat.
    - Pat Ewing: underperforming in other areas (basketball jones: yeahhhh)
  - jabs at the industry (self + at others)
    - WB
      - property of WB (Daffy then kisses the WB sticker on his derriere)
      - merchandise money/royalties; union workers
        
        Daffy Duck: We’ve got to get a new agent. We’re getting screwed!
      - When Bill Murray arrives at the game
        
        (Mr. Swackhammer (Danny DeVito): Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn’t know Dan Aykroyd was in this picture!)
        
        Daffy: Just how did you get here, anyway?
        
        Bill Murray: Producer’s a friend of mine. He sent a Teamster to drop me off.
        
        Daffy: Aha. Well, that’s the way it goes.
    - Disney
      - Daffy: How’s this for a new team name: The Ducks!
      - Bugs: Please! What kind of Mickey Mouse orginization would name their team The Ducks?
    - Products Promotion:
      - Stan Podalak (Wayne Knight): C’mon, Michael, it’s game time. Slip on your Hanes, lace up your Nikes, take your Wheaties and your Gatorade, and we’ll grab a Big Mac on the way to the ballpark.
- all things considered, Michael Jordan’s acting wasn’t half bad
  - not an actor by trade
  - was talking to himself most of the movie (when talking to Looney Tunes in movie; green screen)
- divot (noun): A torn up piece of turf (e.g. by a golf club in making a stroke or a horse’s hoof).
