    How many different gangs do you think are now trying to market Tiger Meth?

    I see why some people bounced off Tiger King but I loved it

    It's remarkable how sympathetic Joe Exotic could be for someone so awful

    Then again I'm a real sucker for the angry faggot vs the world arc

    Also, lawyers of chat, that show has a scene where
    Joe Exotic is talking to his lawyer about the fact that someone else has produced and owns an unflattering reality show about him.

    His lawyer asks whether there are any physical copies of the footage outside of the ones on Joe's property, Joe says no, and the lawyer strongly implies Joe should do something about it--then lo and behold, there's a not-so-mysterious arson in the studio and all the tapes are destroyed

    I was like wow! This is all on tape! Can that lawyer get, like, disbarred or something for obviously advising his client to commit crimes? Or is it like lol he didn't say the literal words so it's fine?

    ???

    Arson also seems kind of quaint when we're in a world that involves murder for hire, dismemberment, tiger based sex cults, and THAT BITCH CAROLE BASKINS who totally murdered her husband

    There was a snuff film reverse shot FFS. Lawyers winking to their client that maybe it would be a good idea to commit a felony is par for the course.

    I haven't watched it so I don't know what was said or how heavily it was insinuated but you can innocently outline how the consequences of something might go

    I remember when I worked at a criminal defense firm, we told him a court date and of course not to run, but that we couldn't stop him from doing anything

    I don't have Netflix so someone's going to have to explain what Tiger King is. It's a Breaking Bad knockoff except sidekick Jesse is replaced with a live tiger?

    Scarface guy, if we're thinking of the same person, sewed bags of drugs into live animals for smuggling purposes, among other felonies, so I wouldn't give him an exception.

    The exchange is something like:
    “Are there any other copies of the tapes?”
    “No.”
    “Are you hearing what I’m telling you?”
    “... I got it”
    I was like - wow!

    Scarface guy did fucked up stuff, but unlike everyone else seemed remorseful about it.

    chain smoking arson guy that would have been responsible for a very different version of Tiger King on TLC was pretty sympathetic

    He was, like, a smart, well-spoken, and not-insane person, but his behavior was still pretty scummy - tricking rubes into signing over their rights while planning to fuck them later, standing by and filming gross stuff while anticipating his big payday, etc.

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/i-edited-the-buttholes-out-of-cats-it-was-a-total-nightmare
    The root of Cats’ muddied visual effects, it turns out, might have been more than just a time-crunched production. Director Tom Hooper, a source alleges, had no idea what an animated production entails—and he made life hell for the visual effects artists struggling until the bitter end to figure out what he wanted.

    Cats was already halfway complete when the buttholes first showed themselves, a source who worked on the film’s visual effects recalled in a recent interview: “When we were looking at the playbacks, we were like, ‘What the hell? You guys see that?!’”

    “We paused it,” the source said. “We went to call our supervisor, and we’re like, ‘There’s a fucking asshole in there! There’s buttholes!’ It wasn’t prominent but you saw it… And you [were] just like, ‘What the hell is that?... There’s a fucking butthole in there.’ It wasn’t in your face—but at the same time, too, if you’re looking, you’ll see it.”

    The rogue anuses, we should probably note, were not part of any concerted artistic vision. As the source put it, “There was nobody that said, ‘We want buttholes.’ It was one of those things that just happened and slipped through.” And indeed, one poor, unfortunate soul was subsequently hired to squeegee them out.
    There should have been. There should have been.

    Yeah. Like, I might dislike him more than I disliked Joe, since Joe seemed crazy enough that it's kinda hard for me to hold him morally accountable for his actions. Reality show guy was lucid and just did not give a fuck.

    What can I say, I respect the hustle and he didn't try to sexually/financially ensnare or murder anyone. That's where the bar is at.

    On the other side of the coin, which do you guys think was worse: the murder, or the serial grooming? For me it's the serial grooming.
