re: Most controversial movie of all time just started on VH-1

Its possible because some people watch a mediocre movie once and don't obsess over it and therefore don't hear about any controversy.

I hardly remember watching that movie but in the clip above that gives no context, and I don't recall the context, it appears that the ball is firmly grasped during the hand's first bounce but that ultimately the full effect of the vicious collision took hold and the ball was dropped unwillingly by the catcher. In fact, it looks like the hand of a temporarily unconscious person.
