HBO original movies/made for tv movies/miniseries
Theres a heap, any 'muricans familiar enough to recommend some? Ive seen the Don King, Stalin & Gotti bios and most of the Rebel Highway series but for all I know theres a lot more. The concept of worthwhile made for tv movies with famous actors was foreign to me til recently enough.

btw has anyone seen this? I watched it when it was out and have been trying to find it online for years. Trejo & Bobby Cannavale were in it.

^^ is that the sopranos ripoff? i vaguely remember it. the rap-scentric one from around the same time that was about a white rapper and had stringer bell as a label head/a&r was better iirc

It was called Platinum. I was wrong about Stringer, but it did have Sticky Fingaz and apparently Bishop Brigante played the white rapper 2Way
I wonder if it holds up to being as hilariously retarded as I remember it being. Alas, no dvd or anything

Cheers Drizzle, hope someone upped it to yt or something.
The Gotti ones not great, I love Assante and Bill Forsythe but its corny tbh. Funny how typecast teh paisan get, half the Sopranos is in it - Big Pussy plays Ruggiero, Chianese is his consigliere, Paulie Walnuts is some enforcer, Frank Vincents some other lad etc

Anyone see Hemingway & Gellhorn? I read it was allegedly as good as a theatrical movie. After seeing a random 10 minutes wasn't sure if it was worth getting into.

Band of Brothers and The Pacific are both essential viewing.

"Autopsy" is great but quite graphic (Real crime, real footage). It's surprisingly on youtube (A few of them)
"The Creshire Murders" is a good watch if you like true crime.
All 3 "Paradise Lost" Docs. Again, great if you like true crime.

I thought this was better than people gave it credit for. Shame it was always just seen as Sopranos rip off (thought to be fair it was), but it had some great acting and real potential. The ending of the mini-series is a little unsatisfying because the creators clearly left a couple things open ended in hopes being picked up for a longer season type deal.Larry2times wrote:

I remember there being some serious (and understandable) backlash about depictions of Hispanics as drug dealers which hurt the show's momentum as well.

suppose it depends upon the alleys you traverse with pleasure but angels in strikethrough the outfield strikethrough amerikkka was a dope opus.
love the paradise lost jawns, been wondering if there's much of a reason to check the newest peter jackson prod joint or if it just rehashes those three or if you've never seen those three you should just watch the peter jackson prod joint or how it all works, will probably check it just to find out but yes to the og three
is that ron jeremy in a blast a foo stance on that back cover of kingpin

Unfortunately, I have not. I bought the series on DVD a good while back. So, the upside is I imagine the DVD set would have to be super cheap at this point.Larry2times wrote:Afronaut, you ever come across it on the internet? Its my moby dick, regardless how gash it turns out to be.

Too bad there's not enough demand to justify a box set release with all 11 episodes, because I've been fiending to revisit those.
