Catching Hell (2011)

This had a chance to delve into our culture of sports-worship and what drives our primaeval need to make sense of random events, but instead it takes the exit to Crazytown and spends 105 minutes looping two video clips and asking asinine "what if?" questions. Kill me.

EDIT: Listen to Jordan and avoid this stretched out, half-baked attempt at a documentary. You can watch the Steve Bartman clip on Youtube and save yourself 90 minutes of looped replays.
