Didn’t know the date.

Yeah, fuck DuPont.

Did they ever figure out why DuPont shot him? Google isn’t giving me much.

The movie with Channing Tatum and Steve Carrell(unrecognizable in this) is really good. Think it’s also called Foxcatcher.

I worked at a paint store and we all coached wrestling. We watched the standoff on tv. I’ll never forget that day. I had met Dave a couple years prior and he was a genuine dude that was funny and humble. Huge loss for all of us.

Did you think Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal of DS was good?

What’s the documentary called?

“Quite. There’s a scene halfway through where Du Pont wakes up Schultz and demands some nocturnal wrestling practice. A brief, darkened scene then finds the pair on the floor, a huffing, puffing Du Pont writhing atop a motionless Schultz before levering himself off, grunting. It’s ambiguous. It could be mere wrestling; it could be sex; it could be rape. Either way, the next scene has Schultz half dressed, cutting Du Pont’s hair, snorting cocaine and being playfully tactile.”

The foxcatcher movie is good but it is also fictional in some of its portrayals.
