I liked the "behind the scenes" story. It's too bad Bourdain is gone. It was fun to travel & eat/drink vicariously with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Sampled an episode of this earlier today, not bad. You would think this trend of Mexican/cartel/drug dramas would get old fast, but they keep putting out decent shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Viewing the episode about the African man shot 19 times. What a joke, they move the cops’ trial 150 miles north to Albany, where the racial makeup of potential jurors, is, ahem, a wee bit different to NYC. Funny seeing Al Sharpton back in 1999, I saw that he was a big criminal before his current role in the community Edited June 30, 2020 by Golfingboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it from Michael Franzese, who’s supposedly the highest ranking guy to walk away, still be alive, and not snitch. That gas tax scam, $6-10m a week, damn!

code_slayer_bkk Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Michael Franzese .. his father was the ultimate mobster ... never snitched .. was stand up! Many stories floating around about Michael himself ... I believe he snitched .. I think it is true that he did .... you just don't get out of jail for free when busted by the Feds .. but, it is great he has turned around his life ... good for him ...

Weird that he is not even 100% sure Sonny was his real Dad....but Mike is 70 looking like 45, and Sonny was 103...must be related that’s some good genetics.

nampla69 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks for that Trial by Media will look out for it. Sharpton was the basis for the fictional black rabble rouser in Tom Wolfe's epic novel 'Bonfire of the Vanities'. Fantastic book terrible movie.. I watched Athlete A at the weekend. Powerful piece of filming and that Dr Nasscar should be locked up with Bubba, Rev Al Sharpton and 300 homies from BLM in Rijkers Island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the father who asked the judge for 5 minutes alone with him at sentencing, then lunged at him anyway. In a perfect world, the sheriffs would have said “OK, lunchtime, let’s leave them alone” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muting my phone at a premiere back in 1999, cost me a shag with an 18 year old waitress at my restaurant job. She was no brain surgeon, but was pretty fit considering she wore a G-cup. Oh well, I went from loving blondes to Asians, we all develop I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south7eventh Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Extending the topic to binge watching box sets, I have just finished all three series of ‘The Fall’ on Sky/NOW, Starring Gillian Anderson and a then-unknown Jamie Doran, it is the story of a serial killer in Belfast set in 2012. The murders are not associated with the troubles but inevitably the paramilitaries take a role. Series1 is about the murders themselves, Series2 the capture of the suspect and the last is the final outcome. There are many side plots throughout but none overshadow the main theme, serial murder. I was not expecting a lot from ‘The Fall’ but I was completely wrong. For me it was outstanding and I would recommend it to those able to track it down. I have seen posts by those, such as Krapow, about life in Belfast in the recent past and I would be interested on his take on this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see his Juicy Smolley ?? ... a French actor bit ......the gay black guy from Empire who faked a beating in Chicago ......... best bit of the show priceless. I just loved hearing him say the unsayable in 2020 (the year Free Speech died) ...... it was like being back and listening to Larry telling Michael Jackson, Harvey Weinstein, transvestite, disabled autistic Mexican chicken jokes.
