I dvr'ed the Ricky one. Watching it in the morning.

both the ricky one & the AI one benefit greatly from the insertion & analysis of the director
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Ricky one was great; dude comes off like a dick and a vvv bright guy and a man intrigued with himself and his world.
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 03:40 (fourteen years ago) link
yea loved the ricky one. it's fairly nuts that those dudes he happens to bro down with while he was living in cali burn down like an oz per poker game
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 29 April 2010 15:04 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that can't be healthy in any sense of the word

Just watched the Ricky Williams one.
I think it's odd that they left out the fact that my high school played his high school in the city championships and we won 13-0, holding him to 46 yards.
I guess there are some truths that are still too painful for him.

i didn't plan on watching all 2 hours of The U (for the third time) tonight BUT HERE WE ARE

tonight's ice cube directed one on the raiders/nwa/80s la is pretty good. it doesnt really go beyond "hey these things happened all at the same time" but it really is a crazy time that can hold up a doc. plus al davis is o_O in hd y'all

is this on at the same time as the cavs game
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 11 May 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
they show it again on espn2 @ 11 iirc
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Pretty sure I saw Cube give a look of straight fear in one of cutaways. Davis is the scariest human lizard corpse I've ever seen.

The OJ one was fucking incredible.

yeah, really amazing. I couldn't watched five hours of that.

Wow, "The Two Escobars"
I watched the World Cup game between Colombia and the US in '94, and it was kind of a big deal to me. The US team was staying in the hotel where my sister worked, so I met a bunch of those guys on that team. But meanwhile, in Colombia...

Just saw that one last night...blew my mind. So used to the meme of sports triumphing over struggle, and just seeing the way that played out...I can't stop thinking about it. I knew a little, but I never knew the full story of the team or Andres Escobar.
The OJ story was pretty incredible too.
This series...man, they should be getting a sackful of Emmys for some of these stories.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 03:09 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah "two escobars" was absolutely fantastic

MJ one was cool
really interesting in the wake of the lebron thing tho
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it was rad
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link
i like how everyone was like "yeah he would've made the majors"
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:18 (thirteen years ago) link
is this the one that just aired?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:19 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:20 (thirteen years ago) link
next week's looks great too, about the US team at the little league world series that beat some unbeatable taiwanese team
I really want to see it -- hopefully I'll catch it later this week
― Mordy, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i had no idea he showed that much improvement. actually if you look at his stats from that year the one encouraging sign is that he walked quite a bit for someone who had never played.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:24 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i noticed that too
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:25 (thirteen years ago) link
you could just tell from the video clips -- i mean, obv it was selective but towards the end he was really staying back on the ball whereas in the beginning he was almost falling on his face
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 01:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Best ones so far for me have been the two escobars and run ricky run
― this isn't STRAWBERRY 0_o it's RAWBERRY (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:34 (thirteen years ago) link
top 5 (nb I'm canadian and havent seen them all)
1. two escobars2. winning time3. the u4.. guru of go/ loyola5. allen iverson
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:38 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, winning time was also completely priceless
― this isn't STRAWBERRY 0_o it's RAWBERRY (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:38 (thirteen years ago) link
two escobars was some real cinematic shit
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm biased for 'the u' so i'm gonna exclude that -- my top 5
1 iverson2 run ricky run3 two escobars4 winning time5 len bias
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 05:48 (thirteen years ago) link
its impossible to pick between 2 escobars and winning time - escobars was the most moving, but winning time was the most entertaining. the one i really want to find on torrents is the OJ/day in June movie.
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 06:01 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i never saw that one -- should be on dvd soon
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 25 August 2010 06:01 (thirteen years ago) link
OJDay was pretty great; I remember that day really clearly. I was waiting tables in a restaurant and people were slipping me cash to keep them updated on the chase from the bar in the next room.

as a vancouver canucks fan, i'm prob gonna have to skip past the ny rangers parade footage - watching mark messier's stupid face is just too painful

2 escobars is popping up in oct a couple times--check the schedule site

I'm just glad his teammates didn't get all resentful and jealous. Or maybe they did at the time, and as adults realize they had no reason to.
Who the fuck spits at a 12 year old kid, though?
