This film presents the story of the death of Ted Binion, one of the sons of Benny Benion, a mob figure who was a key contributor to the original growth spurt of Las Vegas, and later the originator of the World Series of Poker. His son Ted was alleged to be a mathematical genius and a generally good guy, but was also a drug addict, and that got him in with the wrong crowd and eventually led to his death. His OD was originally considered a suicide, but the detectives later determined that the suicide had been staged. Ted’s girlfriend and her lover were charged and convicted in his death, but were later granted a new trial and acquitted on the murder charges. (They were convicted of several other charges related to their presence at the murder scene.)
I suppose there’s a great movie in there somewhere for Scorsese or somebody like that, but this Lifetime Original is only watchable. I did an extensive commentary, but my analysis is more about the real crimes than the movie’s portrayal of them.

New career for Rudy Giuliani?
He “is said to have thrown the Pop Tart when he became upset, although the pastry failed to actually hit the woman.”
Florida must have some strange laws. If throwing hard objects and missing the target is considered assault in Florida, it’s a good thing Steve Sax never played for the Marlins.

Gorgeous collages from another internet legend, Brainscan, created as part of his salute to the 1980s.
Short answer no, but Fahrenheit’s convoluted explanation of his scale is fascinating.
Did you know that Celsius was almost as loony? Today’s centigrade scale makes sense in that 0 is the freezing point of water and 100 is the boiling point, but that was decided after the death of Celsius. “The original Celsius scale had 100 for freezing, 0 for boiling. In other words, it was upside down.”
Season six of Vikings has arrived, and Lucy Martin got nekkid in episode three.

Holy shit, this was 30 years ago! Samantha Mathis is now a VP of SAG-AFTRA. She’s keeping her clothes on these days, but still looks pretty great at 49.
A favorite! Milla in The Fifth Element
