  1. That's the scoop. Movie in the making (per VN). Damon picked to play
    Armstrong.

    I can see it ... sort of. I just hope Damon learns to ride a bike better
    than he learned golf ... or better than Costner learned to ride a bike or
    play golf, either one.

    I guess they'll have to get DeNiro to play Ullrich since he'll have to
    balloon up and down in weight ... like in Raging Bull.

    Hey, that'll be a good discussion. Who should play in the various
    supporting roles? How about Sheryl Crow as Lance's mom.

    Bob C.

  2. Damon as Livestong?
    ok. I would buy that.

    How about T. Heinz Kerry as Crow.....both older, dried up and lots of cash.

    Seems silly to me to make a biographical drama when there is ample real life
    footage available to create a compelling documentary. Plus you know a
    scripted film will do no justice to cycling as a sport.

    I thought it was interesting when Damon was on Letterman last Thursday, he
    used the word pelOton. Now we know why.

    Damon lost 20 pounds to play the the drug addict in Courage Under Fire with
    Meg Ryan. He plays both parts before and after, and his family said he lost
    too much weight by running and was obsessed with the part. Kind of like when
    Tom Hanks did the same in his Island movie.

    I think the correct term is "crockumentary". Seems as how he's been de-spun
    by everything from the 911 Commission Report to the latest being Yeslam
    Binladin who says that Moore's film purposely misrepresented his family -
    claiming that they were flown out of the country with some sort of priority
    when in fact they were treated as any other foreign visitors. He also
    debunked the oft repeated claim that members of the bin Laden family were in
    Afghanistan with Osama.

    But then when someone prefers lies to truth you can always bet that there's
    a Liberal in the woodpile.

    Maybe Damon will quit smoking?

    You get no argument here, Tom. I just suggested spinumentary because of the
    play on the cycling angle along with the slanted "documentary" style of Mr.
    Moore.

    Yeah. Either that or a conservative.

    Ever hear Rush Limbaugh? He's made quite a living without either
    liberals or notable attention to the truth.

    How can you tell that the O was in upper-case?
    Did they have closed-caption subtitles or something?

    Matt Damon is to nice to play Lance. Even when he plays a baddy (The
    talented Mr.Ripley or Bourne Identity) he comes across as a nice guy.

    But who will play Dr Ferrari ? What actor could play a good Chemical
    Architect ?
    If Marlon Brando hadn't passed away recently he could have revived his
    role as the Doc in "The Island of Dr Moreau" !

    If you are saying that Damon is a poopy actor then I concur.

    I wonder who's gonna play Roll, Sherwan et Liggett.

    Yesterday was the last episode of The Long Firm on BBC2. Mark Strong
    played Harry Starks with just enough arrogance, self-apologeticness and
    hairgel to be a convincing dr. Ferrari.

  20. But, will the film show him pissing into cups at least 24 times or rubbing
    Actoveggan cream into his butt? And who will play Emma O'Reilly in the
    film? Will Simeoni play himself?
