    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Fri Dec 27 10:14:21 2024
    I started watching this show, featuring Billy Bob Thorton as an alcoholic attorney fallen from grace but clinging to his ideals. I'm watching it between episodes of Land Man, where BBT plays an alcoholic land manager working for an oil company, doing whatever it takes to secure land rights for oil drilling.

    I think I've reached Peak Billy Bob, but it's working for me.

    ...Billy Bob Thorton as an alcoholic attorney...
    ...BBT plays an alcoholic land manager...

    I'm sensing a pattern here...HIC!

    Careful, or you'll become an alcoholic BBSer fallen from Sysops' grace.
