Yeah, a bunch of college kids got busted a while back because they were venmo-ing their dealer. The dealer got busted and the cops got his venmo info and were able to arrest a ton of kids for buying.Strat wrote:https://venmo.com/E.H.

So, the lesson here is either don't venmo, or don't venmo your fucking dealer.
Kurt Sutter was not involved with Sicario. Perhaps you're thinking of Southpaw?tragabigzanda wrote:Anybody see Sicario yet? It's playing at the local cinema this weekend, I am on the fence.

Ah okay. That actually makes sense; Sicario's script was weak as hell.tragabigzanda wrote:Naw, some guy named Taylor Sheridan. I don't know SOA well enough to say for sure, but I think Sutter created it, and Sheridan wrote some eps.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Kurt Sutter was not involved with Sicario.

In any case, Sicario was very mediocre. Frustingly so, because the first 30 minutes are great.
At any rate, I'm leaning towards streaming something rather than ponying up for this one.
