some glowing reviews of the TILT DVD

[detroitplayer]

I laughed so hard I almost swallowed my tongue while reading the DVD features. Number of epsidoes: 8. A little further down... Number of discs: 3. THREE!

With 8 episodes, you could fit this thing on a CD-R!

Anyway, the user reviews on the amazon page are great. The best part is that I don't think most people reading the reviews are going to understand the authors are actually being sarcastic.

Bauer's performance as Lee Nickel is especially powerful as he brings Nickel not only to life, but after watching the show you will feel his presence as a wraith haunting your dreams

Who reviewed it? Edgar Allen Poe?

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Well, with hour long episodes generally you can fit 4 per disc, but if you throw in special features and that much crappy writing you need 3.

Madsen continues his domination of American film by starring in this epic series, as the Don Corleone of the Tilt world to Bauer's Michael Corleone.

Much lke the excellent long running series starring kung fu legend and capricorn chuck norriss. Espn's recent foray into the world of televison TILT has touched its generation of viewers as only a swinging back roundhouse kick through a plate glass window from cordell walker could.

Simply put, one of television's crowning achievements of this or any era. Madsen's acting is remnant of Marlon Brando in The Godfather. The character of Nickel is indisputably one of the most multileveled and perplexing in the history of drama, displaying Chris Bauer's massive and unfaltering acting prowess.
Tilt's dialogue is so natural that one often forgets that he is watching a piece of dramatic fiction, and not a documentary. The writing is top notch. Such a blend of drama, action, comedy, and nickel has never before been seen on the screen, and it brought a tear to the collective eye of millions of viewers every week.

My only regret is that Tilt was released as a weekly series, instead of as an epic film trilogy as originally intended. If not for the hollywood fatcats' politcal agendas, Tilt could have swept the Academy Awards like an unforgiving flood, and been seen as the greatest film trilogy of all time.

Better than Hellmuth and Lederer's DVDs combined !!!

Ever since the poker explosion of early 2005, I have been concerned with learning how to build and sustain an adequate bankroll. I conserve my bankroll for cash games. It seems every ostensible professional poker player is coming out with DVDs. Today I am delighted to say that you can throw those all away, along with your dusty copy of Super System, because the TILT DVD is the only instructional DVD you will need to become a triumphant high-stakes shark!

The Matador puts on a proverbial clinic for cash games. To a novice, his methods may seem avant-garde, but I assure you they are the only way to become a winning player. One example of this is when The Matador shows his students a move to do when you know you are going to make a straight pre-flop. He bets out 20 times the big blind from early position. In a cash game, no one would ever normally think of making such a sage move. That is why it catches your opponents off guard. This was clearly a trick of the trade I needed to add to my cash game arsenal as soon as possible. It reminded me of another move a slightly intoxicated man showed me once in a 3-6 game. I later came to find out this move was called "folding out of turn", as people kept asking me "why did you just fold out of turn" every time I tried to execute the move. The effectiveness of this secret strategy is really only understood by a few people. (Maybe I will explain it more when I come out with MY OWN DVD - tee hee hee.)

Anyway, in this hand, The Matador had to rely on his sixth sense as he was challenged with a min-raise from a formidable opponent, Lee Nickel. Nevertheless, in the end, The Matador relied on the fact that he already knew he was going to make a straight to bust Nickel's flopped set, and after much fan-fare, made the correct play.

I do not want to give away too many secrets because then there would be no reason to buy this DVD so you can learn how to play poker, but this DVD touches on many facets of cash game strategy. I am now on my third mortgage since implementing the strategies contained in this DVD, but I know that once I master this knowledge, my bankroll will flourish.

Reviewer: Yosh Nakano (Las Vegas, NV USA)

Tilt has been one of the most influential poker television dramas in the history of ESPN. Moreover, this docu-drama has set the standard by which other poker-related broadcasts, such as the World Poker Tour or that episode of Three's Company when Chrissy goes to a strip poker game, will be measured.

This DVD should not be viewed casually: it should be studied. While the plot and dialogue may not be first-rate, the money it makes you at the poker table will allow you to buy all the Shakespeare DVDs you want.

[pokers]

[TomHimself]

[SoftcoreRevolt]

With this being advertised as "The Complete First Season" rather than "The Complete Series" implies it is not yet cancelled.

[detroitplayer]

Yes, they are making it seem like there's going to be a season two.

They did the same thing with ALF. I'm still waiting to see if he chooses life with the Tanners or to the spaceship back to Melmac.

"The worst thing I heard, and I can hardly stomach repeating it, likened Cibrian's acting range to that of Terry Schiavo."
