interesting sidenote - TILT debuted tonight.
I have not seen it, being at work and all, but from what I've read, it's an almost unwatchable p.o.s. - with even Daniel Negranu being forced to defend his cameo in it....LOL - but not before telling the producers this gunslinger crap doesn't play in the poker world no more.
I feel so left out of the loop....some of the comments on this are hilarious... -
like how the most unrealistic moment of the film (a la Famke Jensen throwing herself at Damon and him turning it down in rounders..) -
"How could they have Daniel N. shooting craps when they had TJ available? A show has to get details like that correct if they expect to be sucessfull. "
and also the most important lesson to learn from TILT
"The next time I play in the backroom of a black strip club, I am not going to check my piece at the door, that way when a "brother" strings bets I can whip out the gun and make everything turn out ok."
this must have been a colossal blunder - sorta like Ashlee Simpson not singing (or singing at the Orange Bowl - though I heard that was monitor issues) -
kinda fun to watch it play out...

I actually enjoyed the first episode. I know tons of players are going to pick it apart, but the reality is - it fiction, not a documentary.
On the Danny N playing craps instead of TJ, I think everybody who points to that and calls the show stupid for it completely misses the point. It was probably done that way specifically because its wrong. Either Danny and TJ decided to have some fun with the show, or more likely, it was done like that to give those of us in the know a big laugh.
Nurses scream that ER bears no resemblance to reality, and cops and lawyers laugh at how stupid CSI and Law & Order are to them. Big deal. Just like those shows, TILT is made unreal so it can be entertaining.
no one has ever made a show about network engineers, although the userfriendly.org strip and Dilbert comes pretty damn close....LOL
