Tongue & cheek shot. I've known you to be a bit of cinephile, so I thought I'd fire a shot over your bow.

We all have our guilty pleasures. Hell, I'll say it, I watch Big Brother and I despise reality television.

Lol, love the part at the beginning when Worm wins all the cigarettes in jail and the other inmates ask for them back since he's getting released. He tells them no and then dumps them in the trash on his way out.

Larry Buckman from Parenthood was a classic degen....

He gets thrown out of a moving vehicle by his bookie and his dad asked what that was all about and he says he was getting dropped off by friends and dad says.....'Couldn't they slow down?'

Had a kid with a Black woman and named him 'Cool'

That showed how he was just an asshole on general principle. I wouldn't want someone like him to pump my gas.

Bump. Decent thread.

Love some old gambling movies. Some good stuff in there.

Rounders has really aged well. Think about the classic scenes and the unforgettable lines:

"Pay dat man his $$."

"In the game of life, women are the rake. They're the fukin rake."

"I feel like Buckner walking back into Shea."

On a side note, in the Showtime series, Billions, they brought in John Malkovitch to play a Russian billionaire, and the part is modeled after his work as Teddy KGB in Rounders. I believe the production staff is the same. It's very cool to see him sort of reprise his role, even though it's not as Teddy KGB.

Brock Landers, there is no way that is a real person.

Having said that, I miss having him here.

I don't think the 2 characters are really comparable though are they?
