Holy poo poo, that was so awesome; I haven't been this emotionally involved with a series since Pleasantville went to color.

Oh god, the events of this past week or so are amazing. They should really make it into a movie or something, especially if they could get some insiders into the what was going on in the control room in the moon while Truman was going nuts.

So, who would you guys think could play a good Truman (obviously he can't play himself). What about Jim Carrey? I bet he could pull it off.

Jim Carrey? Gimme a loving break, that fucker couldn't pull a straight face if his life depended on it, let alone convey an emotion that isn't "Oh my God, I have asparagus in my nose, I am so wacky!!!"

I'm thinking Johnny Depp.

Oh man, this has been an emotional last few days. The ending of the Truman Show (god I can't believe I am saying that) is truly the apex of gutwrenching emotional television, and I don't think anything will ever surpass this. Television will never get better than the Truman Show.

I wonder what the hell Christoff is going to do though. Maybe open up Seahaven to tourism? I would LOVE to visit the set now that the cat's out of the bag.

What makes a gallows rope to swing
A woman and a gun

Wow... I never thought he could do it... This past week has made up for the past 10 years, god how amazing.

Also can a mod change the title to avoid the :lol:

irony? Has anyone heard from Truman? I saw him on the channel twelve news getting into a car with some woman I couldn't see, but after that no one has heard from him. God I can't wait until he starts talking about his experience / sues Cristof.

Hawkman: Aug 6, 2002; daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

I hear Truman's already been approached to be on Good Morning America tomorrow. God knows if he's ready for something like that though, assuming that this whole thing wasn't scripted out ahead of time the culture shock must be intense.

Agreed, this whole thing alone has atoned for the past ten years of taxes, rebate forms and watching Truman pluck nose hairs in the bathroom mirror.

Yeah, how the hell is a legal contract that effectively makes you a prisoner and a slave enforceable? I bet Truman sues the pants off the production company and becomes a trillionaire celebrity :v:
