Very sad but not unexpected. Is anybody going to go see the movie?

Is anybody going to go see the movie?

I have no need or interest in watching an anatomy of Armstrong’s arrogant lies, even one done by Gibney.

I do hope Armstrong finds a road through redemptive suffering to a sense of personal peace though.

edit for Oakleaf....I don’t see redemptive suffering as personal forgiveness but rather finding one’s humility, compassion and hope within a forgiving community, religious or not...and as I wrote I hope he can find that.

I thought the interview was interesting, I've got no plans to see the film.

I don't believe in "redemptive suffering." Too many people invite suffering into their lives and decide that that absolves them from having to make amends to people they actually hurt. And plenty of people have cancer who don't have sins of offsetting magnitude to atone for, in their current life at any rate.

I might watch it, maybe I read a rather lengthy article in I think The New Yorker because it's such a train wreck I couldn't pull myself away. I wonder how good he could have been on his own, but I guess we'll never know that. The real problem with doping is that it works.
