Notably, American Flyers, that seminal work of semi-fiction with
engrossing writing, wonderful acting (other than the people on screen)
and Alexandra Paul's tits, that has captivated cycling fans worldwide
(if you include just the US).

Why aren't they showing Stars and Watercarriers, A Sunday in Hell, The
Triplets of Belleville or something like that? A real cycling movie
that would keep viewers riveted (with apologies to Phil Liggett) to
their seats.

How can we convince Versus to up the ante to some real movies?
Is there a Freds United non-profit (FU.org) promoting a cycling
agenda?
Could we start a really annoying email campaign?
Snarky YouTube videos?

Any and all suggestions are welcome (unless you're just a douchebag
with doping issues eating away at your brain). Thanks.

Out again!

#1: I'm with Fred(erick the Great) and vote for Dodgeball, even if you
cut out Lance's part. Great movie

#2: See #1. I don't think any of the great movies you mention would play
to the VS audience. You brought up yourself one of the reasons American
Flyers might fit in. But my choice #2 would be Breaking Away.

Oh. I was thinking of Rae Dawn Chong with "atra" the Burgess-invented
Neanderthal word for fire.

They're broadcasting that? In the chair, bright lights in his eyes, a
truncheon at the ready, "Confess, you DOPER! Also, tell us where the
REAL Bin Laden is hiding.", the whole deal?!?! What channel? I wanna
tune in and see Lance do the perp walk!

Looks as if there are not as many LANCE fanboys around here
as I thought.

Lance fanboy: noun, 1. A person who disagrees with Brian Lafferty.

Since BL has not yet entered an opinion in this thread, how do you know
if there are any LA fanboys?

You need some new porn on top of the most average girl in the world
problem you have.

The proper response would be to question BL's definition. Since it was I
who passed it on, your response is unnecessarily reasonable. Throw me a
"fucktard", or something.

Well "American Flyer" at least had bicycles in it. And the credits said
Eddie Merckx but I really couldn't watch much of it. Silly writing, bad
acting and the female "leads" were ok looking but particularly lousy
actors. Yes, "A Sunday in Hell" would have been much better, or the
Tripletts.

Most of the fucktards are too fat to throw very far.
