Mark and his dad squared off in the finals for the Academic Team District Cup today, with Mark's team coming out on top. I imagine a movie based on the struggles of the father-son coaches, meeting in a match to determine who has the "quicker" team. Imagine the Chariots of Fire theme song as the match plays out in slow motion, the winning question read with anticipation. Mark's team is quick to buzz in, but not without consequence...an arm is flailed about in excitement and one of the kid's glasses are smashed against their face, a la Lucas. So there is elation over the win, but it's tinged with the tragedy of broken glasses. Meanwhile, Paul's team is devastated in the corner. Paul is sad to lose, but at the same time proud of his son's accomplishments. This has Golden Globe potential.
So are you guys gonna call Steven Spielberg or should I?
