Lance Again

[Smokin Joe]

Ok, we're all sick to death of hearing about him, but from a glimpse of the trailer this looks like a worthwhile watch -

The actor took EPO during the filming and didn't tell the production staff. Talk about getting into character lol.

Why do we still talk about him? The man never achieved anything in cycling apart from being a cheat and a bully.

Because it's an incredible story.

What does this film offer that the two (very good imo) dvds does not?

Trouble with a film like this is that some of the events are dramatised. Unless this film is based on a book or books?

More money into his pocket. What suckers we are. I wont be watching it.

Is Lance on a percentage of box office then?

 

[Hip Priest]

So we saying bad people can't make for good stories? Won't be watching that new Krays film then.

Good job nobody ever made a film about Hitler. Oh, wait....

 

[Crandoggler]

I cannot wait to see it. He was juiced up, everyone else was too. He still battled cancer, beat it, came back like a farking Trojan Horse and smashed his way to the top. He bullied, manipulated and worked his ass off to do what he did. It was wrong, but what a story!

 

[fossyant]

He is a bit like Hitler of the sporting world - we still watch to understand.

I hope the actor didn't dabble with Testosterone... really not good for him long term - will shut his balls down, might not get a restart.

I'm not, but am wondering what this film offers on top of what is already out there. Spend an afternoon looking through the USADA report and the supporting docs for how it really was. I was blown away.

Get what you're saying, but I think there's room for a dramatisation alongside the documentaries.

I'd rather a film was made about. Eddy Merckx... He was the greatest cyclist IMHO
Armstrong is a cheating no body

It's based on 7 Deadly Sins.
