I hate watched Slobby's World and I'm convinced it's a mockumentary and John C Reilly in a fat suit. Fyre is really good. The only thing that sucks is that Ja Rule got away pretty unscathed and that there was no guillotine on the island.

 I was actually going to make a joke about him being Dr. Steve Brule pursuing a new career and forgot to.

Started watching The Shield based on thread recommendation, though now I realize the show that I thought was The Shield was NYPD Blue.

Watched the first couple of episodes of Trigger Warning with Killer Mike. It’s a bit tryhard, but Mike has enough charisma to make it work. Episode 2, in which he produces vocational training pornography, is pretty good.

The guy at the end says it best, everyone was responsible for it turning out to be a disaster, but in the end it was Billy committing the wire fraud. Anyone with half a brain would avoid using the fuckjerry guys for anything since the whole mess but as the documentary clearly shows there are a lot of suckers with money out there and people willing to take advantage. e:. Marketing in general is just fancy ways to lie to people about what a product does or what a person needs, so they're all liars in the end. Buyer beware and all that.

Yeah. Both docs pretty much squarely place the blame on Billy, and while he was obviously the most at fault and the one that repeatedly committed outright felonies, it was the combined hubris/stupidity of everyone involved that made it happen. As far as I'm concerned it should have been a career ender for virtually everyone that touched that poo poo. Also, Ja Rule sure got off easy just by not appearing in either of them. The only people I really feel for at all in the entire scenario, is the Bahamian day laborers who worked for a month and never got paid. Also, gently caress "influencers" .Oh my god. Society is so stupid right now.

Society has always been stupid, there are just more cameras now. The people with "influence" have always been as stupid and terrible as they are now, we just didn't get bombarded with their stupidity because they weren't vlogging it.

While I don't think your wrong, I think that visibility has had a profoundly weird effect of society. For some reason humans have always felt the need to select a few from the bunch to prop up on a pedestal and it's usually the wrong loving people. But it's sort of unprecedented that it's normal for people to be famous/want to be famous, just for the sake of being famous and the entire culture that surrounds it. Maybe it's only superficially different from the past, but it still kind of makes me want to puke. I also will never not find the concept of a "personal brand" to be super gross.

Fyre Fraud on Hulu is okay but there's so many goddamn cutaways to old cartoons and random movie clips. I definitely agree it feels like a YouTube doc. It's still worth watching but not as slick. I also hate trying to dig into how Billy became the person he became and blaming it on the internet. I was raised on the internet and I didn't scam investors out of millions with a pathetic irrelevant rapper.

I didn't take that as trying to assign blame to the internet, I took it as them setting the context for which Billy was able to be such a scam artist. People used to travel around in covered wagons selling bogus cure-alls to rubes, now they manipulate social media and influencer culture on the internet to sell a dream to those same rubes.

Yeah the Hulu one is not even a little sympathetic to him. The Netflix one definitely is a bit though. Also the Hulu one has a lot more on site footage of the fiasco itself

I guess I will say I preferred how ruthless the Hulu one was about everybody overall. There could absolutely be an entire documentary on Jerry Media and basically getting rich off memes and idiots. I feel five years from now there will be some good ones about Barstool for the same reason.

Netflix’s Fyre: - mostly avoids talking about Jerry Media’s involvement, which Hulu’s leans into - avoids Billy’s fraud during Fyre and emphasizes Billy’s fraud post-Fyre -definitely more professional looking overall, doesn’t lean on stock footage punch ups -on the other hand misses out on some great moments like dwelling on the mannequin challenge or the pigs biting models -has some insane anecdotes the Hulu one doesn’t like the veteran marketing guy being asked to suck cock to avoid customs fees -doesn’t have an interview with Billy Overall I think the Hulu one is slightly better but you should watch both

We have binge-watched the first three seasons of Bosch on Amazon Prime since the start of the New Year, and it is awesome. If you like detective shows (or movies), it's one of the better ones I've seen. It is based on Michael Connelly's series of novels, and Titus Welliver (Silas Adams from Deadwood and the Man in Black from Lost) plays haunted, intense LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. It also has a lot of Wire alumni, including Jamie Hector (Marlo) as Bosch's partner and Lance Reddick (Daniels) as the Deputy Chief. I'm going to be sad when we tear through the fourth season, because that's the last one. Big Bad Voodoo Lou fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jan 20, 2019 |

We're essentially living in a corporate run cyberpunk future except instead of super cool deckers with floating skateboards and the finest katanas we have Logan Paul and PewDiePie.
