Factotum Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I think a lot is known about Rodman, it's all out there! MJ is still a bit of a mystery to a lot of people. He rarely speaks or gives interviews. I found his speech about being a nice guy and pushing people at the end of episode 7 to be utterly compelling, the emotion, anger in his voice. Jordan is very guarded but he lets himself out at moments and its quite explosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Also Jordan's management company is heavily involved, so he pretty much has editorial say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecian Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I love the bits where MJ watches other people's interviews. The snort of laughter he lets out when he watches Gary Payton talking about defending him in the finals is my series highlight so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 He's pretty insightful too. I didn't realise he was usually guarded, I just assumed one of the biggest American sportsman ever would have had his story told a million times. He's definitely good value but I'm at the episode 5 mark and I just want some Rodman dick breaking stories. I find the approach to American coaching so interesting compared to the school teacher approach that is the stereotype in this country. Imagine if Balotelli had a Phil Jackson when he was 19. Paul Heyman is playing Krause in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyman's a good shout, but I want Paul Giamatti for the role of Krause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Hamptons Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I've just binged watched the first 3 episodes of Inhuman Resources with Eric Cantona. Gripping so far.. I found myself rooting for Eric.. But now I'm not so fond of the character.. Well worth a watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Started to watch 'Dark' and if it continues the way it's going, it's probably going to be up there with the best series I've ever seen, let alone best thing I've seen on Netflix. Without giving too much away, it's time travel with plenty of twists/turns set in a creepy German forest town, stick with the first 3 episodes and it starts to come together afterwards. Only thing that might put you off is that it's dubbed in English (German made), but I've watched in German with subtitles and it hasn't taken anything away from the show.   Edited May 17, 2020 by Briefcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you either have to listen in badly dubbed English or READ it??? Fuck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It's well worth the sacrifice, I started in dubs and persevered. It's very good and all but it does get really daft really quickly and it gets a little too 'continental' for my tastes in parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted May 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2020 I have been discovering Anthony Bourdain recently thanks to Parts Unknown being on Amazon. Yet another person I discover when they're already dead and so it's too late to imagine meeting them. His programmes are absolutely phenomenal and indeed they don't even seem like cooking programmes most of the time - more like a mix of travel and anthropology. It's all so very watchable and I love how he comes across as almost a Jack Kerouac/Hunter S Thompson kind of figure. The guy had my dream job. Above anything else I'd describe his shows as being very "human" television. I had never in my life expected to feel an urge to go to Beirut or South Korea but after seeing him there, both are now on the list. An absolutely brilliant man and he deserved far better than to go out hanging from a noose in a Strasbourg hotel room. A great loss to the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 He wrote well also - I’ve read a couple of his books.  He does come across as one of those characters whose drug dependency prevented from fully achieving his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Any recommendations for Apple TV? Got a years free sub and outside of Mythic Quest I’ve heard nothing of the services offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
