I knew only of the legend but was too young to pay attention to the event that it was.
I was certainly unaware of how the story of this man played out.
Quite the story from beginning to end
I hate chess in the same way I hate math and physics.

I've heard really good things about this, not sure if it's classified as a miniseries / documentary or what. Kind of seems like a mix of both from what I've gathered.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG just wrapped ep 1, yall niccas need this in your lives.
The Queen of Versailles. Odd title but there was an attractive blond on the "cover" so I gave it a shot.
It's about one of the richest men in America, his beauty queen trophy wife, the biggest time share company in the world, the financial collapse of 2008 and it's effect on their lives.
Las Vegas is a focus point, but watching the impact on these people as shit is going down is the real reason to watch.
Not to mention opulence beyond imagination.
STREET THIEF
I watched this out of boredom and was caught up in it quickly. I have always felt I could have ended up like this
but I also drew the line when prison was a possibility. Just dumb kid thoughts.
Turns out this movie was too good to be true, as I find out the lead in this "documentary" is also the director.
There were many things done well, but looking back there were a lot of holes. Still worth a watch despite the spoiler.
"The movie follows the life of Chicago burglar Kaspar Karr. Kaspar cases and robs stores. He counts up his score and a small interview follows where Kaspar introduces himself. He shows his expertise in social engineering, stalking and intelligence gathering and discusses his careful, meticulous planning cycles."

Not sure if any good as haven't watched
Just watched one on Butch Jones, he was one of the big players back in the day in Detroit drug scene. Then watched one on The Young boys, his crew.
White boy Rick is next, wow if that aint a story
for a thesparten worthy conspiracy I dont know what is. And that is actually real and can be backed up with facts.
Going Clear...
Felt bad for the children and their dumbass parents that subjected them to this life but otherwise an "Expose" on adults engaging in consensual behavior.
Had a hard time finding a villain.
For all you Batman heads:
Batman Unmasked
Really? A Documentary on the character Batman. I just watched a doc on the numero uno Batman, that being
Adam West. With a name like that you gotta do something. They didn't say if that was his real name however.
He's in his eighty's now but acts more like a teenager. Always a kidder apparently. Guess that's why he made the role iconic.
How did you have a hard time finding a villain when David Miscavige is right there in your face?
The Queen of Versailles is just starting on CNBC.
30 for 30 "Sole Man". Sonny Vaccaro, one of the most polarizing and influential figures in basketball recruiting and sports culture.
Fantastic
Basketball recruiting; sneaker money - college coaches, Jordan, Kobe, LeBron; Nike vs Adidas, NCAA bullshit. No aspect of basketball this guy didn't influence. Great history lesson.
Six part series - all included here

Devil and Daniel Johnston. If PFA was around back then he would belong here. His songs were brilliant.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Ronald Reagan
Speaking of docs, whose got the rights to the upcoming,
Inaugural PFA Limit Poker Collasasorus tourney?
Somebody's going to get rich!
Detailing Whitey Bulger's role with the FBI; basically was he a real informant, or just given carte blanche for doing favors for a few unscrupulous agents. If the latter, the FBI looks horrible.
Not sure if bullshit yet or not, haven't read up, but was interesting.
In the least shocking news of the day, the older daughter in Queen of Versailles just died from overdose.
