NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A Chicago Cubs fan reaching for a foul ball, an action blamed by some for keeping the team out of the World Series, has already inspired plans for a movie, according to a published report.
Trade publication Daily Variety reports that Revolution Studios has accepted a pitch for a movie tentatively titled "Fan Interference." The movie is expected to star TV sitcom star Kevin James of the CBS show "King of Queens." Variety said it would tell the story of a fan who screws up an easy out, and then has to deal with the ramifications.

Just damn.If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

As much as I generally despise television, The King of Queens is a very funny, well written, and entertaining show. And yes, Leah Remini is a babe.

After listening to the reaction of Cubs' fans, I think Quentin Tarantino should direct the movie.

"Will it star Leah Remini too? She's a hottie" Leah is real cute, but I think the movie would be much more authentic if it stars the guy pictured here in the black outfit.

I knew it was a matter of time before Mr. Bartman would make money off of this. I hope he does too.
