  1. FX back in 2014 aired a show called "Fargo", not to be confused with the movie (same title). This show had 2 seasons as of date, but each season was a different story-line, only watch season 1; season 2 wasn't that great. Season 3 is supposedly shooting as we speak. Surprisingly season 1 was good; REALLY good, worth watching if you like the thriller/crime genre with alot of adult humor. Billy Bob Thornton gave some of his best work on season 1.
  2. "The Night Of" aired on HBO a few weeks ago. Its 8 episodes (one season). Highly recommended if you're into mystery-crime-thriller, top notch cast.
  3. Feel better. Wishing you a full & speedy recovery !
  4. From the Forbes profile of Aubrey, he seemed sinister, dishonest & someone who considered himself the smartest person in room. Between his executive ouster in 2012, oil prices destroying his fracking industry, not to mention his recent indictment...sad end Wouldn't be surprised if the investigators determine the car was mysteriously too damaged to uncover evidence of tampering or added fire accelerants. Aubrey never wanted Duke Uni. to announce "our generous donor of many years pulled his own plug", rather had a horrific car accident, keeping conspiracy theorist busy ! Suicide or not, RIP
  5. Respect to Jerry For someone that really made it, you sense the passion & joy that comes from this show Some episodes less entertaining than others, but since he's solely motivated by personal enjoyment, a certain anti-stress comes accross watching these clips. Saw him live a few years ago at the Pantages, he was fantastic ! He mentioned in his act that he truly loved stand-up, where some comedians view it as a necessary evil, avoiding it after success (Eddie Murphy is said to hate standup even though he's a riot) If your situation allows: "Do what you love you'll never work a day in your life" !
  6. Brand has power....hope they don't mess it up !
  7. Eloquent yet inaccurate... SA Royals are closer to 10,000 (with the real big shots being the top 1% of that group)...Even the remaining 99% live within a hierarchy, with some members of the tribe "closer" to wealth/power than others , so not exactly an easy subject to make a back handed generalization...This according to "Inside The Kingdom" by Robert Lacey Now if Seacrest would produce keeping up with the Royals lol

  9. if this guy did anything even semi illegal he deserves to be thrown in jail faster than you can say Van Nuys airport but with this latest "leaked" update from the daily mail <<that's such a trusted publication>> supposedly based on them getting a coincidental -- I mean exclusive -- peak at the filling...never would I suspect the gals attorney didn't intentionally leak this to inflict MAXIMUM embarrassment Come on ? "...I'm a prince, I can do anything I want..." seriously ? "I need to pee pee" ? lawyer couldn't get more imaginative ? farting fetish ? pretty funny actually some male servant jer#ing him off ? Ooooooohhhhhh scandalous what was the ambulance chaser smoking while drafting the suit ? gonna go out on a limb here and say this looks like the imagination of Saul Goodman...bc none of those exist in LA IMHO classic case of HUGE bullseye at the pockets of some twenty something who's not the sharpest tool in the shed, who liked to party... liked his pepsi & (GASP) liked hookers by the bus load...making some greedy rental-home staff aware he's worth alot of $$$...also so happens to be a son of a big Sheik $$$ can't visualize a better picture to make any personal-injury-lawyer get a hard on ? a bit strange, that for a group of vulnerable & frightened domestic staff that were falsely imprisoned & exposed to despicable things, they didn't have a problem coming back the next day & report for work ? neighbor that saw a women trying to jump over a fence didn't have their iPhone with them ? quick snap ? picture of her bleeding ? nothing ? since this inhumane royal was soooooo abusive....no attempts to hide their phone and take a picture/video of some farting ritual ? Nose Wide Shut ? when the BS becomes too outlandish...common sense kicks in...not saying it happened or didn't happen...just seen enough scum lawyers & low lives trying to make a quick buck w their imagination BTW the LAPD will be filling criminal charges...Oooooops....no they won't...better call Saul !
  10. Fail But the only reasonable explanation, is if the owner has some affiliation with the transformers franchise ? Maybe the producer, director or owner of the copyrights, etc..
  11. Enjoyed the clip/feature. Your positive spirit pops off the screen, more health & success to you !
  12. Never knew Robert, but may he RIP, left too young, hope his folks find the strength to get through such a tragedy. I dream that cancer will be something medicine soon conquers once & for all, its a nightmare for the patient, their loved ones, testing their courage, resolve and willingness to fight this cruel monster. My thoughts & prayers to all those in the fight right now, and those who're in the orbit of someone in the fight.
  13. From the XJ220S driving experience over the span of ownership; How did it differ (unique elements/feel/difficulty) from other owned super cars ? Like others here, I'm telepathically trying to get you to hold on to it, what a gem... Best of luck on your restoration project & imminent sale !
  14. Well said. Not finding the time, weather not cooperating and for some being afflicted neck/back problems can potentially hinder the Sunday morning fun.
  15. If the budget allows, look no further: http://www.fasano.com.br In Ipanema, the right part of Ipanema, as family friendly "Rio" you can get. Copacabana Palace Hotel is not too shabby, but not as clean of an area to walk around as Fasano. Try to take the family to http://www.porcao.com.br for dinner, good stuff... Bon Voyage !
  16. My thought exactly, no way these guys (Cassell & Edwards) would start a defamation-finger-pointing-exercise against this loudmouth, unless they had something REALLY solid to stand on. Dershowitz; regardless of anyone's opinion towards his personal views, cannot deny: as a law professor he's as obnoxious as they come, he fully understands the science of public-opinion, who can easily out maneuver novices in the media. Legal showdown coming soon... With Clinton, Prince Andrew among others wishing they never met Mr. Epstein; gives a new meaning to: "The Company You Keep Defines You"
  17. It started with reading Dominick Dunne (Think OJ Trial coverage), solid publication, good writing, fairly tabloid-ishhh, but still up there with the New Yorker. Well played sir ! Does my Maxim subscription help at all ? lol
  18. My bad, made the assumption this story got enough media attention lately, to skip over the intro... This guy Epstein; who was known for many years in NY and elsewhere for being a "mysteriously" wealthy guy, who rubbed shoulders with famous folks (Bill Clinton & Stephen Hawkings among others), was convicted in 2008 for soliciting girls for underage prostitution, he even served some time for the charge. Just recently the same girl, filed a civil lawsuit, the renewed this story in the media, and is dragging other people with him into the mud, Prince Andrew being the most notable. Real clusterfcuk ! The latest to emerge, is the notion that Bill Clinton might be subpoenaed to testify in this case, I'm sure Hilary must be ecstatic !
  19. 1st read about him in a Vanity Fair profile years ago, I recall reading other news snippets over the years but nothing really stood out except the guy was off & had deep pockets. But with this latest civil suit against him; that's dragging Prince Andrew & Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz names in the mud, this story is really catching momentum, just getting more & more bizarre by the day. What really stood out recently, was MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell's interview with Dershwitz, allowing him to refute the alleged claims against him (stemming from the Epstein's civil case), which lead to an unexpected (yet pop-corn worthy) explosive argument about the latest attacks in France. http://www.vanityfair.com/society/features...-epstein-200303 http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015...in-in-2002.html http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/n_7912/
  20. Has oil reached the bottom yet ? If I knew that I would be the next Jordan Belfort, but from everything I read and watched, from the so called "experts": - The Saudi's and other OPEC players, have learned from experience, that any attempt at slowing down production, will be picked up somewhere else making up the shortage, essentially has them losing market share without really fixing the problem of low prices. - Its really is a global "Supply Vs. Demand" hypothesis, with the speculators adding momentum to the market direction. - The markets do this thing called "overreacting", so when something is moving in either direction it usually picks up steam up/down, especially when global fundamentals can "theoretically" support a position. - The market will find its equilibrium, sooner or later these prices will rise, as more consumers start consuming more as these prices make it more and more tempting to buy, hoard or simply buy options on... - All OPEC producing members, aren't selling their oil at today's prices, they have contracts with every single one of their customers that range 3-6-12-18 months and beyond...So they may very well be still selling to China, Australia or South Africa at $100+ prices still... If you have the disposable income, trying to stock pick the best energy stocks: Chevron, BP, EXXON, Royal Dutch, Halliburton, etc...might be a sound move at these current prices, they will rise sooner or later, depends on your time horizon, the longer you got, the better the odds on your returns ! Just my $0.02 , by no means do I know anything on this subject, beyond what I read in the paper and watch on CNBC like the rest... Happy hunting, , filling up these days is alot less painful that's for sure
