I have watched Becoming Sidney Crosby. I have done that.
1. Worst title for anything ever
2. OMG
It was like watching deeply unfortunate twink porn? I kept reminding myself that he was 16 when they did that documentary and yet they had all these "sexy" shots of him. Just how many scenes of him working out at the gym are really necessary to tell someone how it is to become Sidney Crosby? It looked more like the setup for a very sweaty hurt/comfort palooza.
Parts of it were set in Los Angeles, so they had several shots of him standing on the beach with, like, a sunset and the ocean in the background. And the camera sloooowly making its way up his body, lingering on his arms crossed in front of his chest and then it passes the shoulders and... you have Sidney Crosby's completely neutral squinting derp face. I think someone told him to look smoldering and this was his response.
Some sports show or something had him as a co-moderator for their coverage of the 2004 draft. I don't know why anybody thought that would be a good idea. But they did and it was part of the documentary. And I love them for it. Because it means I got to see Sidney Crosby in a checkered shirt tucked into his chinos, standing on the floor of the RBC Center looking like a kid left behind at IKEA, while a cheering Alexander Ovechkin runs past him, celebrating being drafted first overall. Glorious.
And it did have good parts as well. Like Sidney going to a certain gym, because that's Mario Lemieux's gym. And him training with Mario. And basically giving me all the feelings for those two. Houseboy: The Prequel.
