Paramount and Bad Robot to take on Cycle of Lies: The Lance Armstrong Story

[Rocketman]

I don't like the notion of "Get over it."

Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Kobe Bryant... These people are supposed to be heroes for our children, real-life supermen to look up to.

Imagine some 12 year old kid idolizing Armstrong and bicycling every night before bed because he tells his mom and dad that he's going to race the tour de france some day... and then the bombshell drops. That's heartbreaking. He'd probably stop bicycling.

Welp...As I said I'd feel really silly taking steroids for a movie and the movie doesn't even turn out to be that good.

Most of the reviews I've seen have said that it's not that good.

Don't think you should put Kobe Bryant with the other 3.

But I do agree with your point somewhat. I mean yeah the kid thing is important, but even beyond that.
You messed up majorly and you got caught. That happens you deserve to be called out on your mistakes. That's as simple as it is for me.

To me, the big thing isn't that Armstrong used drugs, it's the vindictive way he went after, sued, and tried to destroy people who called him out on it.

He got defensive.
