Unreal. He's a great actor considering he's a comedian. Must be therapeutic playing himself. I never was as uncomfortable watching something and as quiet when over.

He'll win awards for his acting.

Quote from: Tony Baloney on April 12, 2024, 09:50:24 PMAny early adopters for Fallout. I've read some big reviews for it. Need to finish Ripley tonight then straight into it.

It was decent, middle of the road.
I'm already losing interest 2 episodes in. It's getting a bit silly.

It's Fallout. It requires a bitof suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewer.
Watched the first one. Decent. Will watch episode 2 tonight maybe
There's not much point in watching something if you don't accept the premise. I'm half way through it and loving it, that's the 2nd gaming origin show I've watched recently (Halo) and loved both, a surprise to me as I've never had any interest whatsoever in gaming,  but I do love Sci-Fi

What does that say about 'us' when watching something like that, which happened, that we all felt very uncomfortable and unable to watch?

Watching in discomfort!

I see it is causing a lot of issues for people in the writer past. Internet warriors.

If all true...

If they were part of the damage that it obviously had on him, based on the show, then that's on them, they didn't have to carry out what they did, then expect to walk away scot free!

40,000 emails, can you imagine if a 40 year old man sent 40,000 emails to a 20 odd old woman?

Or a man taking advantage of a young woman looking to get a start in show business?

How come?  I binge-watched it over the weekend (more or less) and found it fascinating, but never felt I had to turn it off. 
The actress playing Martha was fantastic as well.

I just thought it was brutal.  Felt about twice as long as it actually lasted.

Is the new Fallout series worth watching?

I'm 2 episodes in and am definitely interested in how it all fans out. For a while I wilted but the entrance out of nowhere of the lusciously intelligent Teri got me back on the right track.

Been watching the ESPN 30 for 30 series "OJ: Made in America" on Netflix.

Recommend it, including for anyone who doesn't understand his acquittal in the murder of his wife and Ron Goldman. Goes into OJ's life, his refusal to align himself with other athletes in the civil rights struggle, and his pursuit of wealth and celebrity in white America as a non-threatening black man who transcended race. It also goes into the history of the LAPD, especially under the leadership of Darryl Gates, its terrible relationship with the black community and the various scandals that culminated in Rodney King, the subsequent riots, and three years later, OJ's acquittal. I hadn't realized (or I'd forgotten) but Detective Mark Fuhrman, the man who found the glove behind his house, took the fifth on the stand when asked under cross examination whether he had planted evidence in that very case! After 267 days of testimony and thousands of pieces of evidence, the jury took 3.5 hours to acquit him. Chickens (and Mark Furhman and a poor prosecution) coming home to roost...

As an aside, his wife was bad enough, but poor Ron Goldman. Just happened on the scene as he was returning a pair of glasses left behind earlier that evening in the restaurant where he was a waiter. A few minutes earlier, he would have handed them over and left before OJ got there. A few minutes later, OJ would have been gone and he'd have discovered Nicole's body.

But was it a case of that unplanned meeting of Ron Nicole and OJ that sparked the madness?

Both could still be alive if Ron had not just 'turned' up and OJ could have just had words with her and left?

Or was he intent on killing her that night regardless?
