Best Athlete Cameo Ever: The X-Man Does Singles
Uncategorized August 31st. 2007, 9:19am
Earlier this summer, during one of the now legendary movie discussions, we talked about some of the best performances in movies by athletes. Noticeably absent from the list: Xavier McDaniel’s brief, yet hilarious, turn in Singles (which is a tremendous movie with a brilliant soundtrack). We tivo’d it Thursday and then pulled the above screen grab for you. (Aside: Who knew X-Man was in an episode of Married with Children?) Who can guess the memorable line the X-Man mutters to one of the movie’s heroes? This is beyond easy, and if you haven’t seen the movie, we highly suggest renting it over the long weekend.
Also, take note of the perfectly slung jockstrap in the background. That Cameron Crowe. He’s so damn good.

Bill Simmons is impressed with your level of unintentional humor.

Dude, Cameron Crowe rules. We were all set on the movie talk topic …. we are now considering making it the ‘5 best Cameron Crowe movies, ever.’

Can’t we talk about the Counting Crows instead? I think they have a new single out.

I forgot what the main guy’s name is, but he’s having sex with Kera Sedgwick, and he’s trying not to bust his load. So he starts thinking of the X-Man doing an interview, and the X-Man says ‘ (whatever the main guy’s name is ), don’t cum’.

you are way too funny. rare form tbl.

Now if Russell Crowe did something with Xavier McDaniel, then you’d have a true classic on your hands.

“I let you cum in my mouth. That means something.€
Vanilla Sky sucked, but that’s one of the best pieces of dialogue ever written for a mainstream movie.

Crowe:
Wrote Fast Times (classic)
Wrote Say Anything (cheesy, but kind of timeless)
Wrote Singles (classic)
Wrote Jerry Maguire (really a good movie)
Wrote Almost Famous (great)
Directed Vanilla Sky (one of my personal faves)
He’s only had two misses, and i haven’t seen either - Elizabethtown (Dunst was in it, so it’s crap) and Wild Life in the 80s (no clue, but it has Rick Moranis, so it prob sucks).
At 6-for-8, that’s damn solid.

Vanilla Sky sucked, and by sucked I believe Cameron Diaz used the term “swallowed”.

Not for nothing TBL, Singles could be movie gold but on your recomendation it now becomes suspect. Think I should rent Eraser with it if there is a 2-4-1 deal?

Picking a top five out of that group could keep a guy up at night

Singles has a solid cast, some funny lines, and a great soundtrack. Plus, it involves picking up chicks, which is always great for movie fodder.

“Singles has a solid cast, some funny lines, and a great soundtrack.”
that’s all it takes to make a classic, just ask Coppola.
August 31st, 2007 at 10:35 am
the quote is, “and Steve, don’t cum yet.”
August 31st, 2007 at 10:43 am
Dan-tastic … you are correct.

Singles had a great soundtrack, but wasn’t that great as a movie-it was a stereotypical look at the so-called ‘Seattle Scene’ of the early nineties. A bunch of hollywood crap-although, to be fair, I would bang Kevin Bacon’s old lady, that’s for sure.

Kera Sedgwick has looked like she’s 45 since she was 20.
August 31st, 2007 at 3:12 pm
ah yes, but the fact she isn’t all that attractive, she isn’t going to be nearly as blown out as most hollywood women. Couple that with the money she has, and you’ve got a keeper.
