    No greater sign you are a family member then arguing about money.

    I've never watched the movie or outside the general premise, but it's hilarious that family is taking credit and he only had 3 months of support from the family.

    I read the book when I used to read everything Michael Lewis but haven’t seen the movie either.

    My takeaway wasn’t that these were good people.

    I read a piece by Lewis on something I was pretty knowledgable about and it was so wrong that it make me question everything I had read by him.

    100% this, and not surprising at all from how production companies run things. Any and all money that can be legally kept, will be kept.

    So messed up that he doesn’t receive money from a story about HIS OWN life. That story doesn’t exist without him. It’s not like people are lining up to see the story of the redneck who was thrown over the fence.

    Their biological kids are receiving 100s of thousands of dollars, but not throwing any money at him.

    Is this just big mad from a rival? He got Oher into school before the Tuoghy's got involved and started robbing him blind.

    Same as they are now. Even this year it took a local paper to break the northwestern story. Every national writer was telling us how upstanding a man Fitzgerald was after writing their “top 20 freaks this season” article

    Not shocking. What is shocking is Sandra Bullock win the Oscar for her role in the movie. She sucked in it.

    A big group of friends went and saw that movie because a few of my colleagues were extras in it.

    I fucking loathed it and was disgusted the minute we walked out.

    Michael Oher deserved to be the hero in his biopic, not some privileged bitch.

    it was not a popular take at the time
