Arturo
Level 2 · 10 mo agoCalling Barkley an anti hero is insane. Dude threatened to burn people alive just cause he got fired. That isn't fighting the system, it is a violent tantrum. Romanticizing terrorizing hostages is nonsense.
Logan
Level 4 · 10 mo agoMinichiello really had models fighting to marry him after the hijacking. Carlo Ponti even wanted to make a movie, that is main character energy
Thornton
Level 10 · 10 mo agoCook was right, the FBI fucked up the Minichiello situation. Nearly got the crew killed with that fake mechanic spot. Total amateur hour.
