Very Early Positive Buzz for "Moneyball"

Brad Pitt's 'Moneyball' Drums Up Early, Positive Buzz -- Especially for Jonah Hill
-"a triumph of storytelling, editing and a little bit of star power."
-"(Jonah) Hill is fantastic as a number-crunching nobody, and is really wonderful underplaying everything." The second secret reviewer agrees, noting that Hill was "killing every scene he's in."
-This reviewer also noted that while most of our big sports movies use the game as a stepping stone to dramatic fare -- romantic, interpersonal, coming-of-age -- this is "a sports film seen through the prism of sports."
Anyone else looking forward to seeing it?

I really liked the book, so I wouldn't mind checking it out.

I loved the frick out of the book (read it in high school, considering re-reading it when I find time) and Jonah Hill would make a great sabermetrics nerd. Who do they have slated as Billy Beane?

geez, well I expect I should like this adaptation a whole hell of a lot more than Blindside (which, don't get me wrong, I liked the movie fine, but it paled in comparison to the book, as movies often do)

I didn't even know this was being made, but now I can't wait
I like Demetri Martin a lot, so I kinda wish he had got the part.. but if Jonah Hill is doing as well as they're saying.. well I'll be really impressed.
